Wendy Signature

Background

 

With nearly two decades of experience in real estate, Wendy is a top-producing Luxury Property Specialist known for her unwavering integrity, sharp business acumen, and concierge-level service. Since becoming a licensed Realtor in 2008, she has ranked among the top 2% of agents in San Diego County, with a proven track record in the region’s most desirable coastal markets.

Wendy is more than a highly skilled negotiator—she is a trusted advisor who listens deeply, advocates fiercely, and crafts tailored strategies to help clients achieve their goals. Whether guiding a family through the sale of a long-held estate, securing a smart investment for a seasoned buyer, or matching a client to their dream oceanfront retreat, Wendy handles every transaction with precision, professionalism, and heart.

Originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Wendy’s passion for real estate was shaped early. Raised by a father who was both a broker and developer, she sold fractional ownerships during college and took her first real estate course at 18. After relocating to the West Coast to pursue her education, she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UC San Diego and a Master’s in Social Work from San Diego State University—an academic foundation that deepened her understanding of people and laid the groundwork for her deeply relational approach to real estate.

Wendy’s expertise extends beyond the transaction. She is a seasoned investor and maintains a high-performing Airbnb in La Quinta CA, proudly holding both Superhost and Guest Favorite status. Known for her refined eye and creative vision, she has personally designed and remodeled numerous homes, offering clients an elevated perspective on staging, property presentation, and value enhancement.

What truly sets Wendy apart is the breadth of life experience she brings to her practice. A passionate traveler, she has explored dozens of destinations across six continents—from the ancient ruins of Peru to the beaches of Bali and the plains of Botswana. These journeys have given her a rare global perspective and deep appreciation for architecture, culture, and the many ways people define “home.”

Her philanthropic work reflects her lifelong commitment to service. Wendy donates a portion of every commission to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, has raised thousands of dollars for breast cancer research through Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walks, and volunteers with organizations like Feeding San Diego, San Diego Homeless Youth, and Teen Volunteers in Action. Locally, she has served in numerous leadership roles—including  5 years as a Home Owner Association HOA board president, Solana Beach Parks & Recreation Commissioner, PTA board member, and Solana Beach Music Boosters president—supporting her community with the same care she gives her clients.

Wendy’s intimate knowledge of the San Diego coastal region, paired with her deep network of industry connections, gives her clients exclusive access to off-market listings, best-in-class vendors, and invaluable local insights. She approaches every transaction not just as a business deal, but as a life transition—handled with empathy, discretion, and purpose.

When she’s not working, you’ll find Wendy walking the Solana Beach shoreline with her dog, traveling to far-off places, hosting guests at her boutique Airbnb, or supporting her adult children as they navigate their college journeys.

With Wendy, real estate goes far beyond the transaction—it’s about people, passion, and helping you move confidently into your next chapter.
