"EXCELLENT! Wendy found us the perfect home. Not only is she easy to work with—Wendy negotiated a terrific deal & watched out for us during the entire process. I highly recommend her to anyone purchasing or selling property."
-Marsha O.
"I hired Wendy to sell my summer home in Solana Beach. I was thrilled with her work! She used her crew to clean, organize, store and stage my home from top to bottom as I live out of state and was not available. She is honest and hardworking as they come. I highly recommend Wendy as a seller’s agent."
-Selena A.
"I would recommend Wendy Forrester without hesitation. Success in purchasing a home in today's fast paced housing market is unequivocally linked to how wisely you choose your real estate agent. Loan acquisition is seemingly only half the battle. Losing out on home you can finally love, is frustrating to say the least. Wendy has many years of experience and is a very savvy negotiator. She also specializes in the price range of homes sold in this coastal area. She has lived here for 25 years so she has the connections to hear about upcoming listings. On a personal level, her enthusiasm for her job and her energy level impress me. Her communication style is clear and she makes it easy to communicate with her. She is tenacious and I wound up getting a very good deal on my house because of it. Fast forward, 2 years later, she sold my home in Rancho Santa Fe and found me a beautiful new home in Encinitas! I highly recommend her for all your real estate needs!"

"I met Wendy through social circles in Solana Beach. I found her to be very competent, super smart and easy to talk to. So when I decided to sell my investment property in Bay Park, I asked her to represent me! She used all her fantastic skills and connections to help prep my house for sale, including doing some of the front gardening herself! She sold my home within a few weeks after obtaining multiple offers and negotiated a great price as well as terms. Because I was doing a 1031 exchange, she also had to help me find a new home within 60 days! She personally picked me up several times a week and showed me homes all over the County of San Diego. I eventually bought a new investment property in Oceanside, a new hot area, which Wendy recommended! At the close of that escrow, she also was able to secure a new tenant immediately and was able to obtain the first 12 months of rent upfront in cash! I felt well taken care of by Wendy, and now I consider her a dear friend (as well as realtor for life!)"
-Violetta D.
"Wendy was great to work with! She is very knowledgeable about properties in the North San Diego County area. Wendy was also very good at crunching the numbers and finding me a great investment property. As an investor, I will not buy a property unless the numbers make sense and it is a great opportunity. Because the market was just starting to turn, Wendy acted swiftly to get me a great investment property in a timely manner while it still appeared to be a buyer's market. She worked hard to negotiate with the seller's agent concentrating on the bottom line of what I wanted to spend. We got the property for the price I was willing to pay! Her services didn't stop there, once we obtained the property, she found an exceptional property management company who rented out the property with a two year lease at top dollar! I will use Wendy again, without hesitation, when purchasing an investment property in the San Diego area!
-Tony C.
"I truly enjoyed Wendy’s energy and passion throughout the home buying experience. As a first time home buyer, I needed her to guide me through all aspects of the home purchasing process. She was receptive to our wants and needs for a new home and was enthusiastic in making our dreams come true! Wendy was knowledgeable about several different areas we were looking in, as well as the type of home we were looking to purchase. Her thorough approach reflects her experience and definitely helped make the home buying experience pleasurable and easy. I look forward to working with Wendy in the future when we are ready for our investment properties!"
-Maria A.
"I had never sold a home before and wanted to get the best price I could, but had no knowledge of the current market in San Diego as I live in Guam. The home was my parents’ home in Solana Beach who were now deceased. I had rented out the home and kept it as an investment property for nearly 20 years. I traveled to California to see what shape the property was in and to expedite the process of having the current tenants moving out. It was my tenants who introduced me to Wendy Forrester as a local coastal expert. Wendy supervised the upgrades and repairs to the house after the tenants left, and in doing so, saved me quite a lot of money. Even to the point of contacting the property management company, several times, to get companies that did work under their watch, to provide warranty services for work that was poorly done. She helped with the interior painting, baseboard repairs, roof repairs, handyman projects, termite inspections and repairs. She needed to take care of all aspects of getting the home ready for sale as I live in Guam. When all repairs were made, we staged the home herself to save me the cost of hiring a staging company. I felt as though I could completely trust her and relinquished all control to her trustworthy hands. Wendy and her team of experts, marketing/escrow/title etc., made the process of selling my home very simple despite living a world away! She was always available to communicate, whether by phone or email, and answered every concern of mine promptly. She was proactive in every situation, and made sure everything was done that needed to be done. I would recommend Wendy to anyone with a home to sell in the San Diego area. If I were looking to buy real estate there,I would contact her first."
-Michael S.
"I knew Wendy socially before engaging her as my realtor, so I knew she was smart and competent, but she surpassed all my expectations in her handling of the sale of my house. She was always on top of every deadline, ahead of time on everything... she could not have done a better job. She got my house sold 2 days after it went on the market, for above asking price, with multiple offers. What more can a client ask for? Wendy is a consummate professional who gets results."
-Carol A.
"Wendy's attention to detail is impeccable. Her passion for her clients is undeniable. She's "all in" with her Buyers and Sellers. Wendy has a keen eye for interior design and also for great investment opportunities. I highly recommend Wendy to represent your real estate portfolio. "
-Christy C.
"Wendy made the sale of a family home an easy, quick process. Her knowledge of the area, her expertise in sales, and her willingness to help in any way possible, made her not only an excellent choice, but the ONLY choice for our family."
-Katherine N.
"As a recent widow who needed extra help and support moving on with my life, Wendy's assistance in selling my family home was invaluable. She went above and beyond at every turn. She worked so hard in preparing the home for sale that I received multiple offerings above list the day the property came to market. I would never use another San Diego realtor. Wendy is the best!"
-Canyon V.
"Wendy has a very creative mind that is a hard worker. It's always a pleasure to do business with her. She gets the job done."
