Smart decisions in property CHANGED MY LIFE
I’M WENDY
An independent buyer’s agent, business owner, negotiator, podcaster, investor, mentor, storyteller and closet introvert who loves a glass of bubbles.
I fell into the real estate industry as a naive 17 year old with starry eyes and a dream to one day become a self-made millionaire. This chance opportunity became my stepping stone to a career that has opened the door to many wild and wonderful experiences and ultimately, set me up for life.
Today, I’m a luxury buyer’s agent and businesswoman with an 8 figure investment portfolio who is obsessed with property, business, wealth creation and personal growth.
Achieving financial independence was my driving goal and now, I share my expertise across all facets of real estate to help others live an abundant and intentional life.
A life that took me the best part of 20 years to create.
