Wendy Carter is the absolute best! As first-time home buyers it can seem quite daunting taking on the enormous task of purchasing a home. We took the process very seriously and ended up interviewing 10 highly recommended realtors in San Diego. Quicky, it became very apparent that Wendy was the best choice for us. We were looking for someone that we could work with directly and would not pass us off to a team, someone who would be a teacher and help guide us through the process, someone who would understand our needs and budget, and someone that would be an advocate for us during the negotiation process. Wendy was all of that and MORE. Touring homes with Wendy was fun, comfortable, and always a joy. Wendy would help us envision furniture layouts, purposes for odd spaces, how we could decorate, and the potential that homes had. She took note of concerns we had and found answers either immediately or by the next day. We never felt embarrassed to ask questions or to reach out to her. She never pressured us to put in an offer, but when we viewed a house in Chula Vista that was perfect for us, Wendy transformed into a fierce negotiating warrior. Wendy not only got our first offer accepted, but negotiated for us to keep appliances and security cameras that were important to us. We can’t imagine having any another person negotiate for us! Wendy is hardworking, responsive, trustworthy, and one of the most genuine human beings to be around. If you’re looking for a realtor in San Diego, put Wendy at the top of your list!

I’ve admired Wendy from afar. Her passion for real estate and San Diego shines through in her videos and social media presence. She comes across as fun and easy to work with and then you meet her in person and are blown away by her vibrant presence and professionalism. When it came time to put our house on the market, I knew I wanted Wendy to be our listing agent, as she is known for being a local market expert. There didn’t seem to be a more passionate, professional, charismatic, positive person to represent our property. She is top notch: prepared, tenacious, a “can-do” attitude, no job is beyond her- she even planted flowers to brighten up our yard before professional pictures were taken! When it comes to the team of stagers and photographers she uses, she brings her A game. They made our home look amazing. The professional pictures and drone shots could be in a Home and Garden magazine. The investment she makes in marketing to get top dollar for your house is above and beyond. When selling in this market, you need a strong negotiator and Wendy is highly skilled for this competitive environment and negotiated a selling price that was far over asking and exceeded my expectations.

Wow!! Where to begin...Let's first start with communication and responsiveness. Wendy is someone you call if you're pulled over to the side of road or require immediate medical assistance. You can always rely on her to respond on time with clear and concise explanation/direction. In addition her ability to distinguish exactly what your concern or question is not only proves that she's well versed in this field but she's been around long enough to provide you realistic expectations given the current dynamic market. It seems every time we felt uneasy on a topic or had our concerns, Wendy always brought us back to reality and provided that peace of mind to move forward. And she's been nothing but on it from day one. Her responses left us with a sense of relief that we'll always be left knowing we made the best possible decision. Our experience with Wendy was second to none. Honestly felt like we hit a world record for fastest introduction to offer acceptance. Not kidding, we met Wendy on a Wednesday and received an accepted offer in less than two weeks. It goes to show she not only did her homework and due diligence to understand what we were after; she knew how to make an enticing offer and win! Best of all, she did it with us paying less than asking price! Thank you for everything Wendy!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Wendy as my real estate agent. She is an absolute gem in the real estate industry, and her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart. From the moment I met Wendy after recently moving to San Diego from the Midwest, I could sense her unwavering commitment to giving back. She is a true go-giver, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure her clients' needs are met. What impressed me even more was her deep connection to the community. Wendy is not just a real estate agent; she is a pillar in the neighborhood. She is well known, well liked, and a community organizer. During the challenging times of the pandemic, she took it upon herself to support local businesses, showcasing their offerings via social media, which helped to give them the boost they needed when times were tough. Additionally, Wendy started a local networking group called Women Supporting Women, which provides a platform for small business owners to connect and collaborate. It's this kind of selflessness and community spirit that makes Wendy truly exceptional. Beyond her community involvement, Wendy's professionalism and organizational skills are top-notch. She approaches every aspect of the real estate process with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. Her ability to stay organized and keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes is truly commendable and helped keep our minds at ease throughout the entire process. Buying or selling a home can be an incredibly stressful experience, but Wendy has a remarkable way of bringing a sense of tranquility to the process. Her composed and collected approach instills confidence and reassurance, making the journey much more manageable. Moreover, when it comes to negotiations, Wendy is a force to be reckoned with. Her competitiveness and fierce negotiation skills help her clients achieve the best possible outcomes. It is evident that Wendy is highly respected and well-regarded within the local real estate community. Her peers recognize her expertise, integrity, and ethical approach. This respect and admiration speak volumes about the kind of professional she is and the level of service she provides. Throughout our buying process, Wendy was a guiding light. She helped us set realistic expectations, navigate the local market, and ultimately find a home that was a perfect fit for us. Her in-depth knowledge of the area, acquired through her long-standing residency, proved invaluable. We felt informed and empowered to make well-educated decisions every step of the way. Wendy is an outstanding real estate agent who embodies the qualities of a true professional. Her dedication to her clients, involvement in the community, professionalism, calm demeanor, exceptional listening skills, and negotiation prowess make her an absolute pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend Wendy to anyone in search of a knowledgeable and caring real estate agent who will go above and beyond to ensure a successful and fulfilling real estate experience.

Wendy Carter was absolutely fantastic as our selling agent. Selling is a transition - for many it comes with the excitement of moving and buying a new family home. Our situation was different, but not uncommon. I interviewed 5 agents (having found Wendy recommended in a Poway Facebook Mom group). Choosing her came down to a number of factors - many of which have been touched on by other glowing client reviews. What stood out for us beyond the typical agent skills? So many things - here are some highlights: When other agents were handing us their typical marketing materials - Wendy had already written an AMAZING mock description of our home for the MLS, using a small list I had shared with her via email. Her attention to detail and showcasing the home in the best way possible was evident. We weren't just a sale for her to usher to a quick close. When it came to listing and pricing strategies - she had done more than the standard comparative market analysis. She was examining local pending offers and communicating with local agents in Poway. She never cornered us into a price - that part was collaborative and we gained a trust for her experience in negotiation. It really isn't just about the list price - and with multiple offers, we saw that first-hand. We had 5 offers well over listing price within 3 days on the market. Wendy is incredibly involved where it counts. She isn't handing off important tasks to a team that cares less than she does. She's in there with the stager, the photographer, the open houses, and all the important players. She's creating wonderful videos and ads to showcase the property. If we had gone with another agent, I don't know that we would had the same positive outcome. It's not just about getting the offers, but also dependent on getting the right offer to closing. Wendy got us there from a combination of all of her efforts and experience. I'm so glad we chose her.

Wendy Carter is amazing at what she does! She helped us sell our home in Poway and then helped us buy a new home back to back with a tight timeline. Wendy is very responsive and knowledgeable, guiding us through every step of the way. Our home was staged beautifully for the sale and on the buying end, she guided us to get us the best deal for our budget. We are very thankful to have had Wendy representing us.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Wendy Carter to purchase an amazing investment property in Bay Park, and I can't recommend her enough! Wendy is everything you want in a real estate agent—knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely committed to her clients' best interests. From the very beginning, Wendy was attentive to our needs, listening carefully to our goals and helping us navigate the competitive market with confidence. Her deep understanding of the area was invaluable, as she provided us with key insights that helped us make the right investment decision. What really sets Wendy apart is her tireless work ethic. She was always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and consistently went above and beyond to make the entire process as smooth as possible. Whether it was negotiating the best price or ensuring every detail was handled flawlessly, Wendy was on top of it all. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about helping you achieve your real estate goals, look no further than Wendy Carter. She made what could have been a stressful experience into an exciting and successful journey for our family. We couldn’t be happier with our new investment property!

Wendy helped us to buy our first home. It was great to work with her. At the beginning, she walked us through the entire process of buying a home. As we were the first time homebuyer, it was really helpful. She demonstrated good listening skills and always catered to our needs. She was never pushy and that means a lot to me. Her patience and willingness to help her clients is great. She was always there to answer our questions. I highly recommend new homebuyers out there in San Diego to take Wendy’s services to make their home buying journey pleasant. PS: Her charming personality is cherry on cake.

Wendy Carter is the best of the best. She was the most patient with us as first time home buyers and went above and beyond for us to find our home we are so in love with in beautiful Carlsbad! Wendy is charismatic, genuine and truly wants the best for her clients and looks out for their best interest. When we favorited so many listings on the app, she was even up for the challenge of scheduling and taking us on a record breaking 13 tours in one day. When we were doubting our lenders at one point, she even jumped on a call with another lender to vet them out and ensure we’d have a smooth close if we decided to change direction. We had an extremely wide range of price and Wendy was really able to help us dial it back to help us figure out what was most important and made sense for us given our non-negotiables. She answered all of our million questions and at the end of it ensured our offer WON especially with other offers on the table. She was extremely thorough and available at all times of the day, especially through out escrow process and still is even with our continuation of questions post escrow! Wendy - you have truly made this next chapter for us so enjoyable and we are incredibly thankful for you and all of your help. We’re so obsessed with our new home and are looking forward to working together in the future. Wishing you all the continue success!! All the best, Tara & Eric

Wendy is absolutely wonderful! She is knowledgeable, experienced and patient. As a first time home buyer the process was overwhelming, but Wendy made sure I understood everything and felt comfortable at each step. One of the most amazing things about Wendy is that she puts her clients first, at the end of the day she wants to make sure you're happy, that's the most important thing to her.

Wendy is a very knowledgeable realtor who is patient with her clients as we navigated the crazy housing market. She was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. She is skilled in negotiating with the sellers agent and getting the right price for the property. She guided us every step of the way and we felt very supported and trusted her judgment. Would definitely recommend!

I count myself very lucky to have worked with Wendy Carter as my real estate agent. As a first-time home buyer, I wanted my agent to not only be knowledgeable and experienced, but to have my best interest at heart. Wendy was incredible and went far beyond what I could have hoped for. She was always quick to respond to any of my questions, and was thorough in following up my requests. She was also detail-oriented and a great advocate for me every step of the way. Beyond her professional skills, Wendy is also very nice, fun, and caring. It was a pleasure to work with her, and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to buy a home!

Wendy is a star. She is friendly, and as new clients, we felt at ease instantly. She seamlessly worked with the gardener, repair guys, home upgrade contractors, neighbors next door, and those that serviced inside the home. For months, she put out a max effort to do all the little things to get our house sold. Once in escrow, she walked us through the process, and all turned out well. Thank you, Wendy!

Wendy Carter is truly phenomenal. We are a family with a young toddler and had a very tight window to buy a house. Suffice to say, we were under a great deal of stress and intimidated by the process. This all changed when we met Wendy. And LESS THAN A MONTH after, we closed on our beautiful home- which by the way, came with a tree house that our toddler is absolutely obsessed with! As first-time home buyers, we needed hand-holding because we knew very little about the home-buying process. It was important that our realtor patiently, carefully and thoroughly walk us through the process and provide all the necessary information to make informed decisions in a simple, clear and timely manner. Wendy exceeded all our expectations in these areas. She responded within a couple of hours of reaching out to her and met with us the following day. She was professional, caring and attentive and asked thorough and insightful questions. We were impressed with her depth of knowledge and amount of data she had about the market. We walked away from the meeting feeling heard, understood and confident that we were in great hands. She also connected us with all the resources we needed for the buying process. Throughout the process, she was super responsive, kept us apprised of all updates and took the time to answer all our questions, no matter how small, silly or seemingly inconsequential. She was honest and during home tours, provided her perspective of different aspects of each home, including some miniscule details we would have overlooked, that she thought would be relevant to our decision-making based on what she had learned about us and our needs. When we found our house, she was a skilled strategist and fierce advocate as she helped us figure out the best way to position our offer to provide us the best chance of success. Her market knowledge and effective negotiation skills shone, when within 24 hours of submitting our offer, it was accepted with a price under asking! Once we got into escrow, Wendy was diligent in making sure all inspections were in place, communicated with the seller’s agent, and kept us informed on a regular basis (even when we were out of state on vacation and weren't readily available to connect or respond). We consider ourselves extremely blessed to have had Wendy as our Realtor! She is caring, trustworthy and knowledgeable and miraculously managed to make a stressful home-buying process simple, smooth and even fun!

We used Wendy to purchase our new home and sell our current home. Like the other reviewers here, it has been a pleasure working with her. She helped us navigate through the shifting market and her strong negotiation skills helped us win in both efforts; we beat out multiple offers for the purchase and sold our home over asking price with multiple offers. She is competitive and, especially in this market, having her on our team was one of the best decisions. Go with Wendy! You can't go wrong.

As a mortgage broker who has worked with Wendy, I can attest to the fact that she is a dedicated agent who will go the extra mile for her clients. She is communicative and creative, and puts her clients above all else. It was a pleasure working with her and I look forward to doing more transactions with her.

I recently purchased a home in Escondido, CA with the assistance of Wendy. I have purchased several houses over the years and this transaction was by far the easiest especially considering I have been out of the country for the entire process. Wendy has a vested interest in her clients and an attention to detail like no other. Highly recommend!!! Thank You Wendy!

We had the pleasure of working with Wendy Carter as we are relocating to the San Diego area. We are about to be empty nesters and decided we wanted to move from Northern California to one of the most beautiful places in California. Wendy set us up with the easy to use Compass app so we could check out the houses before visiting. We went down one weekend with the intention of looking and getting a feel for the area. We found the perfect house for us but there was another significantly higher offer on the table. Wendy utilized her expert negotiation skills and the first offer we made was accepted (unheard of in this competitive market especially with a higher offer on the table). Wendy was so responsive to any question we had and made a stressful time in this market so much easier. We both appreciate her so much and made a new friend in the process.

I offer my highest recommendation for Wendy Carter and won't buy or sell another home in San Diego without her expertise. From the moment we met Wendy, she set our minds at ease with her extensive knowledge, marketing acumen, and approachable and warm personality. As the listing agent for our Poway home, she advised us on the best ways to prep our home to sell for maximum value, and she succeeded in marketing and selling it in one weekend, smashing all neighborhood records and selling for almost $100k over asking. Throughout the process, she was responsive to all of our questions and honest with feedback, and she served as an expert resource for us during the listing, showing, inspections, and closing. Wendy is very relationship-focused and as a result, she's agent everyone was eager to work with, which helped in immeasurable ways throughout our buying and selling process. She's an expert negotiator, and helped us purchase a home in the toughest market, which enabled us to compete and win our dream home over 18 other offers. She advised us on quality contractors for inspectors, flooring, and painting, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Wendy is a preeminent expert on the North County San Diego market, and her friendliness, warmth, and empathy often had us referring to her as our "life coach" during challenging twists and turns with buying and selling. We had the best experience and results working with her. You absolutely can't go wrong with Wendy.

Wendy helped us find our dream home before we even moved to San Diego. The house hunt during a pandemic AND while still living 500 miles away was very daunting, but Wendy really guided us through the entire process. She visited properties in person for us, shot and edited custom videos of properties when we weren't able to video call in real time, and always made sure we knew what our options were. I'd definitely recommend working with Wendy. She's a San Diego native who really knows all about the area.

We know Wendy's character and commitment is authentic and solid. She does nothing halfway, and puts in 100% effort, every time.

My husband and I decided to look into buying a bigger home when we saw how low interest rates were and needed more space to support our growing family. We had concerns about how to find a new home and sell our home smoothly while managing our toddler and work demands. I approached Wendy after seeing her posts on a local moms group on Facebook. I really liked how much Wendy loved Poway and was familiar with the area. Choosing Wendy was one of the best decisions we made in the home buying/selling process. She was able to help us find a new home that was in our budget and sell our first house smoothly at top dollar. Wendy and her team made our home look incredible and inviting. We had multiple offers within days of putting it on the market, despite listing it right before the holidays and during COVID. She negotiated on our behalf with both the buyers and sellers so that we had a smooth transition with our contingency sale. We really appreciate that Wendy stayed in communication with us. She was willing to work around our busy schedules to accommodate us as a young family. Wendy was professional from start to finish, while keeping it personal. She understood that selling and buying a home is a significant decision and made us feel valued as clients. Navigating the process of selling a home while trying to buy a home was a new process to us. Wendy was always willing to answer my many questions. She gave us excellent advice that always steered us toward the right decision. I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Wendy took time out of her schedule to meet my husband and I on our “scouting trip” before moving here! She was informative and inquisitive with helping to guide us on our right direction. On top of her realty expertise, she has an amazing skill to connect with and reveal the ‘gems’ 💎 of Poway! Thank you Wendy!

Wendy is not only an excellent professional but a great person. She is genuine, honest, and cares about people. She is a go getter and makes things happen!

From the moment we met Wendy Carter, we knew she had to be our realtor. Wendy is the most genuine and caring professional, truly invested in her clients' success and happiness. She guided us through both selling our townhome and buying our dream home in San Diego with absolute dedication. Wendy's communication skills are exceptional; she kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer our many questions--never once making us feel like a burden. Her transparency and realistic approach helped us manage expectations in both the selling and buying processes, which made us feel confident and at ease. One instance stands out: while we were searching for our new home, I was close to settling on a property that didn't quite meet my dreams. Wendy gently reminded me of the vision I had for my dream home and reassured me that it was worth the wait. Her patience and commitment were refreshing, never making us feel rushed or pressured into a decision. After months of searching, we finally found the perfect home. In a competitive market, Wendy and her team worked tirelessly to ensure our offer was accepted. Thanks to her expertise and relentless effort, we are now living in our dream home! I would wholeheartedly recommend Wendy Carter to anyone looking for a realtor. Her friendliness, market expertise, and unwavering support make her an incredible asset to anyone buying or selling a home. Wendy and her team went above and beyond, and we couldn't be happier with the results!
