We work tirelessly for you

“I want the best outcome for my clients, and that means moving quickly and with urgency. I’ve seen people miss opportunities because their realtor didn’t move quickly enough or have a sense of urgency. For our Seller clients, it’s about efficient pricing and negotiation response, and of course the real hustle comes in getting the listing up and promoted as quickly as possible. For the our Buyer clients, we respond quickly to every offer, we are super organized, and we communicate quickly and efficiently.”

Wendy has a great knowledge of the Texas Hill Country. She showed us great properties that we could have never found on our own, and was helpful in so many unexpected, but very much needed, ways! I highly recommend Wendy!

If I could do more than five stars, I would!! Wendy was an absolute God-send from the beginning. My husband and I are first-time home buyers, and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent to help us through this milestone. Wendy was always available to us throughout the process, and very prompt at responding to texts and emails. She’s very friendly and authentic; never pushy when we were trying to make a decision, awesome at listening to us and offering suggestions, and very candid when she didn’t think something would be a good fit for us. The house we bought was actually one she found for us, and we couldn’t be happier here! The search process was made so seamless with her organization skills, patient kind-hearted nature and wealth of knowledge. While the process of putting in offers and actually buying a house is unavoidably stressful, she was consistently proactive and communicated very well with all parties involved, which took the guesswork out of everything for us. We never once doubted that she had our best interests at heart from the start, and she became a dear friend by the end. She came to our closing, and was so genuinely excited as she celebrated with us on our first real home! THANK YOU Wendy, and we would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the area!

Wendy is an exceptional Agent. She made things happen, was always available and was always looking for the right property for us. She treated us like family and made the transition to Texas easy for us by recommending and even taking us to places she knew we would love. She goes beyond for anyone she come into contact with. She is now our forever Realtor and friend!

Wendy’s extensive and informed expertise in the West Austin real estate market helped to insure top dollar in selling my home, as well as finding huge value in a hidden gem in the hot Austin Market. Further, Wendy is low pressure, matter of fact, and relationship protected. Three transactions under our belts and all have been top notch! Literally could not and would not have made this next move with anyone else!

Wendy sold my house in half a day! Before it went on market, she made great recommendations on what to update and what not to. She and her team responded to all my questions promptly and completely. Wendy priced my house appropriately and got me a great deal. She knows the Austin area and housing market like no one else and is the best realtor you could find! When I sold my house, I needed to fix up a few things. A couple of rooms needed repainted and some damaged flooring needed replaced. Wendy immediately recommended the Compass Concierge Program. This would allow me to make the updates my house required while allowing me to pay for them when my house sold. The process could not have been easier. I received a debit card that I could use to make any purchases related to improving my house. I updated my landscaping and had the place professionally cleaned, and Wendy actually arranged for the painting and flooring to be done after I moved out, which was extremely convenient. When my house sold, Compass paid the debit card bill with no extra fees or interest. This program is perfect for people who need to renovate before selling their house but don’t want all those charges on their personal credit cards. It’s so easy, safe, and convenient that I can’t think of a reason not to use the Compass Concierge Program.

Wendy is truly the best realtor we have ever worked with, she is so attentive to our individual circumstances and always has our best interests at heart. If we had to ever move again, I would never consider working with anyone else! In addition, Wendy has a gift in that she will always put a smile on your face and no matter how stressful things may be in buying or selling a house, she always leaves you with a sense of peace knowing that "She's Got This!".

Wendy and her team did a great job in helping us sell our home. We had listed with a different firm initially but after a year without any offers we interviewed several different agents. Wendy's sales recommendation was the most clear cut, factual, data driven and made the most sense of all of them. Her thoughts on pre-sales fixup items were also well thought out. Once we got going, we had a great offer in approx. 6 weeks. Well done! I would definitely recommend her for all your real estate needs.

We looked for almost a year for an investment property we could rent to our daughter. Wendy patiently showed us countless homes in our price range, and we finally found the perfect thing! Then when the inspection indicated several costly repairs needed doing, she negotiated the price down, and got us a great deal! Start to finish, she was professional, knowledgable and so helpful. Thanks Wendy!
