Online Programs, Resources and Community for Professional Women

I help women in real estate step into their power as high-value professionals.

I’m Wendy — luxury buyer’s agent, social introvert, champagne lover & mentor to driven women.

A career in real estate has given me the freedom of choice I so desperately wanted as an independent woman.

Now, I’m dedicated to helping you step out as the face of your own business and brand to build a purposeful career that financially empowers you to lead a life you love.

(A life that took me 20 years to create)

Seeing women take the lead in what was once a male dominated industry excites me to my core.

Where else can you step into a career that has flexibility and the potential to earn well into the six figures, (sometimes even 7) without holding a degree or having to run a complicated and stressful big business set-up. You can achieve this all on your own if you have the confidence, right skillset and know how to play the game.

I know — because I’ve done it, and I’m here to show you how you too can own the room as a high-value professional — but only if you’re willing to go all-in and do the work.

  • I originally launched Deals In Heels in 2016 as a personal blog sharing the private details of my journey from trainee to founder of my own real estate agency, buyer’s agency and personal brand.

    When the Covid property boom hit, my advocacy business, like others in the industry, experienced a surge in activity, and so my writing took a back-seat, but when the timing was right, I planned to relaunch into something greater and more purposeful. I realised my offering in this space was so much more than just a blog, and in 2024 I founded the WENDYRUSSELL Institute and began creating online programs and content that supported the success journey of like-minded professional women.
