REVIEWS
- Cat T.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.
- Josh J.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!
- Kimberly K.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.
- Hemant V.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.
- Maren S.My husband and I recently bought our first home, and we couldn't have done it without Wendy From the very beginning, she made the process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable.

- Jeff BWendy was recommended by a good friend who purchased a home using Wendy’s professionalism and knowledge beat out dozens of offers. In my case it was just a few offers and then a challenging escrow company. I highly recommend her and will use her again.
- Mina K.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!

- Noelani R.My partner and I worked with Wendy to purchase our first home in Escondido, San Diego and could not have asked for a better first-time-home-buyer experience. Wendy was there to answer all of our questions along the way and gave valuable insight on each step of the home-buying process. I also really appreciated the time she took to get to know us before we even started the search process. She is thoughtful, kind and great at what she does. We are so thankful for all the work Wendy did to make this deal happen in such a crazy market. You definitely want her on your team!
- Kent FWendy 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.
- Nicholas N.My wife and I had initially worked with another real estate agent and were met with rudeness and hostility. When we switched over to Wendy Carter, we were met with warmth, friendliness and excellent service. We were able to find a home and have our offer accepted within 10 days of the initial consultation. We now have a beautiful home in Escondido, North San Diego County. Wendy was an agent we could trust and had excellent negotiation skills, winning against two other offers. If you want the best possible experience in buying a property, choose Wendy Carter!
- Rebecca D.Wendy was amazing! In a tough market with a difficult timeline she got us two offers in the first 3 days, which she was able to play against each other to get us the most for our home. Can not recommend her more highly.
- Hope M.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!
- Scott B.My partner and I worked with Wendy Carter as a first-time home buyer and I couldn't have asked for a better agent or experience. Searching in the Escondido, San Diego area, we were limited on available options, but Wendy was extremely responsive and helpful with all of our 1 million questions and concerns. Wendy's knowledge of the market was astounding and you can tell she is extremely passionate and experienced in what she does. She helped make the daunting task of purchasing a home for the first time simple and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
- Sarah N.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.
- Nick H.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.
- Clayton W.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!
- Brooks and Jessica B.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.
- Avery and GabrielWe were so fortunate to be able to get the house we wanted, and Wendy made that possible. Moving from Florida to California was a challenge, but she helped us through the ins and outs. She took time to know our interests to better match us to potential properties. In the end, she helped us land the perfect house. Thank you Wendy helping us find our home in California!
- Nick and Sharishta P.Bought our dream home and we have Wendy to thank for getting us through the ins and outs of the home buying process. She was always on it, communicating with us every step of the way. Her passion and love for what she does showed through her attention to detail, uplifting personality, and professionalism.
- Lee and Kathryn H.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!

My family is everything to me.
