About us

I love helping clients achieve smooth and satisfying moves throughout Orange, Durham, and Chatham counties. I bring to real estate a unique mix of communications and finance expertise. I was a communications consultant for a number of years before entering real estate, and prior to that, was a stock analyst in Boston. Real estate has been a great way for me to bring these skill sets together to benefit my clients. I've lived in the Chapel Hill area for 28 years, and know the ins and outs of local communities. This allows me to provide comprehensive information to my clients about the market, and how to best make a move in or out of the area. My goal is to be a trusted resource for people throughout the home buying or selling process, to make it straightforward, satisfying, and perhaps even fun. I love what I do; I helped 40 buyers and sellers in the past twelve months - and look forward to the year ahead and helping many more clients achieve their real estate goals.

Description of Work: We're relocating to the Chapel Hill area from Boston and contacted Wendy to begin a preliminary search. Wendy asked great questions during our initial phone meeting, listened carefully to our housing preferences and concerns. As a result, she planned a perfect itinerary for us to view some homes. | |Having done research using Trulia, we had a good idea of what we wanted to see - Wendy's recommendations were closely aligned to our wish list. We saw a range of homes which has helped us narrow-down where we want to settle. I appreciated the fact that Wendy took the time to do this for us knowing that we have no plans to purchase for at least a month and that this initial tour was just a fact-finding mission. | |I'm looking forward to continuing the search with Wendy when we return to Chapel Hill next month. With her local knowledge and great communication style, I'm confident we'll find what we're looking for. |

Excellent. We've had three specific dealings with Wendy. In 2007 we bought a condo with our son who was going to graduate school. Two years later, in the depths of the Recession, she managed to sell that condo, and we just about broke even, rare in 2009. Then we decided to move ourselves to the area. I'll concentrate on that move. First, Wendy listened to what we wanted, unlike every other realtor I've ever dealt with. Second, she stuck with us even though we were 600 miles away and could only get to the area sporadically. Next, she showed us a wide variety of homes. We finally found one that was a short sale, which called on Wendy to do additional work. Closing was a breeze. After we closed, Wendy's help was of tremendous value as we needed to do some repairs and updating. She knew all the right people. In every aspect her follow-up and response was outstanding. Email or call and she answered in minutes, not hours. If you need to relocate to the Chapel Hill area, you can't do better for real estate assistance.
Description of Work: Real Estate: helped us find a home

Wendy is an absolute top-of-the-line agent. Very well-informed, courteous, and incredibly organized. Not only did she assist me but also my son and daughter-in-law in purchasing a home. In addition, we've recommended her to several other friends.

From the beginning of our search to our closing date Wendy was just wonderful. Since this was our first home purchase there was a lot we needed explained to us and Wendy was very patient with us throughout the process. She always responded promptly and professionally to our many, many questions. We always felt confident knowing that she was on our side and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in the market for a new home. And although we didn't have a home to sell during this process we know that Wendy would be a terrific seller's agent as well.
Description of Work: Wendy was our realtor for the purchase of our first home.
