About Wendy

When I moved to Florida from Ohio in 2005, it did not take long for me to fall in love with the Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota Area. I had worked in the banking and finance industry after graduating from Ashland University. With my husband’s encouragement and support, I transitioned from banking into real estate in 2008. That year may not have been the best time for the industry but it was the best time for me. I welcomed the challenge and the excitement of a new career. My background in finance has been very useful for my clients and my love for the Sarasota, Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch areas has been even more important. Moving to Florida made me appreciate a quality of life that I was not used to. I have said many times to my husband, “We really live here, can you believe it?” This area has become home to us and we couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. My professional network extends well beyond my fellow Realtors. I often refer my clients to lenders, attorneys, contractors, landscapers, interior designers, movers and others who can make your life in Florida more comfortable. I know all the builders in the area and can help you with choosing your new construction home. I am also connected to many Realtors around the country if you need to sell before you get here I would be more than happy to connect you with one. Ask me about neighborhoods, amenities and the comforts of Florida living. I have come to learn a lot about the communities in my area and I can tell you with absolute certainty that this is the place you’d like to call home. What is it that I love most about my career as a Realtor? Helping You! Seriously, the day when we find you the “right” home, the day we get an offer on your home, the excitement on your face or in your voice…..Makes it all worth it!

Responsive and personable

I met with Wendy for the first time late in the year, and due to work was unable to seriously continue the house hunt until early spring the following year. When I reached out to her again after such a long period of silence, she was very responsive, able to organize viewings at multiple properties the following weekend. Wendy also kept a look out herself for properties that she thought matched what I was looking for, and was able to fit them into viewing schedules she'd already made. She was also able to schedule things on short notice if it was a property I was particularly interested in, or if I wanted a second look at a property nearby during our tours. She walked through the properties with me, hitting on the things that worked well vs things that were less in line with my wants per property. Seperately from all that, I had just moved to Sarasota, and Wendy as a local was kind enough to give me great recommendations for all sorts of things in the area.

Wendy is the Best!

Wendy has been my realtor for many years and I successfully assisted with buying and selling homes. She is tenacious but also very helpful in explaining the world of real estate to novices like myself. I will continue to use Wendy in the future. She is amazing!🤩

Excellent Realtor! Highly Recommend!

Highly recommend Wendy for your real estate needs! She made the process smooth and her knowledge of the market got my house sold quickly! She is proactive and always keeps the line of communication open and didn’t make me feel bad for maybe asking one too many silly questions. She helped me not only sell my house, but buy a new property as well!
