"My husband and I decided to relocate our young family from Sydney and move to sunny Brisbane. We had no idea where to start. We searched for a few months independently and felt so overwhelmed and lost in the process. Questions kept appearing.. How do we know if it's a good part of the suburb? How can we do the legwork from another state? How can we feel confident bidding on a house from so far away? Then, through a social media referral we were recommended Wendy.

From the start and feeling quite overwhelmed, Wendy guided, educated and checked-in with us along our journey. There were many, many phone calls and questions but her superior knowledge, her contact list of agents and connections allowed us to secure our forever home to raise our young children. Her knowledge runs very deep and her skills and experience are first class. Wendy is an impeccable people reader. My husband and I had been going back and forth about a property for a few weeks. We absolutely loved it but there was one factor that made us feel a little uneasy. We were due to bid at auction on it. A few days prior I called Wendy and told her our doubts. We had been working with Wendy for a few months by this time and knew us and our brief quite well. She took the time to listen and confidently reflect back her thoughts on the situation. We ended up not bidding, and I can safely say we are so glad we didn't.

She is there as a sounding board and provides a professional unbiased opinion. We never ever felt pressured to buy. She invests so much time into her clients she truly wants to find that perfect home as much as we do! Even though the search took longer than my husband and I anticipated, we found our perfect home! We went to a multi offer scenario. Wendy took the time to talk us through the strategy, and made us feel at ease. She executed our strategy perfectly. She was right every step of the way, if we had not taken her advice in this instance, we wouldn't have secured our dream home. For that we are forever grateful.

To cap it all off - it has been 2 months since we settled on the house. We have stayed in contact with Wendy and she has gone above and beyond any expectation we had of her service. She opened our house up for trades, removalists and even did a grocery shop!!

We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy in Brisbane. She is professional, warm, witty and smart all rolled into one.”

“There was no way, even with my experience in property investing, that I could of secured that property, at that price with such little effort on my part.

Wendy Russell is a woman you want in ‘your corner’ when buying a property in Brisbane.”

Sarhn M | SYDNEY

“My husband and I lead a super hectic life with work, children’s sport and life in general so we lacked the time and knowledge required to property hunt. Wendy being our Buyer’s Agent gave us the confidence to buy an investment property and to know what to expect before and after the purchase.

Wendy was readily available at any time of the day to answer questions and provide objective information about prospective properties. In our initial meeting, Wendy sat down with us and explained the entire process of buying a property. Her services appealed to us as she provided an expert opinion without an emotional attachment.

We sent Wendy properties that we liked and she provided informative feedback and prevented us from purchasing an unsuitable property. When we found the property we loved, Wendy acted quickly and won us the property in less than a week of it being on the market with great negotiating skills.

She is very knowledgeable, relaxed and efficient. She is always smiling with a casual yet professional manner and made our buying experience a stress-free and enjoyable one. We are super happy with the property we purchased and we couldn’t have done it without you!! Thank you Wendy.”

Denise M | GOLD COAST

As a first-time investor, I needed help to find a good property but also to learn the basics. From our first call, Wendy understood what I needed. I’m incredibly happy with the townhouse I purchased, and could have never have made it to this point without Wendy’s help. Her knowledge, experience and contacts were invaluable. She’s also incredibly fun to work with, so the whole process was really enjoyable. Thank you.”

Elle | MELBOURNE

“Wendy, you have been invaluable in securing a city investment. We didn’t think we would get one, let alone a house. Your guidance and thought process not only covers being able to ‘sleep at night’ and in our case, rental opportunities. You understood where we would be comfortable and we have been lucky we have the best of both worlds with this purchase. Your contacts, your knowledge and your approach are a credit to you. We wish you well and highly recommend your services.”

Martin and Adele Mitchell | BRISBANE

“I employed Wendy’s services again after I found her to be extremely helpful, thorough and contactable with my previous purchase.

Much the same experience second time round, I would recommend her to anyone thinking of purchasing in the Brisbane area, her knowledge is second to none.”

Diana Speedy | SYDNEY

“She didn’t push a sale, but took the time to help us choose the right thing for us. She also helped us in negotiations, saving us $20,000 and a lot of time and headache.”

Clare Sheng | BRISBANE

"We first met Wendy as rookie investors in late 2014 looking to purchase our first investment property. Not knowing anything about the property market (or investing for that matter) Wendy made us feel confident that we had experience on our side to start the search. We gave Wendy a rough idea of what we wanted and less than a week of looking, we got a really excited phone call from her advising that she had located a property with lots of potential and we should check it out straight away. We did like the property but in our inexperience we thought it best to keep looking as this was the very first one we had seen. Wendy assured us that this property was a gem and we shouldn’t let it slip away.

So with complete faith in Wendy we made an offer.

Wendy expertly helped to negotiate an excellent price on our behalf. We later found out it was $15k cheaper than a property with the exact same house a couple of doors down the street. Thumbs up to a service that pays for itself in the first week!

Five years down the road and the property has grown in capital by over $100k.

We had such a good experience the first time around we decided to engage Wendy again for our second purchase. This time the market was much more competitive so Wendy had the opportunity to showcase her relentless work ethic. Good property after good property were eliminated from the search because she knew “we can do better”.

She has such an unwavering high spirit which was very calming and reassuring to know that no matter how long it was taking to find our next gem it would be perfect. After about 5 months of looking we got to hear that excitement in her voice once again. We visited the property and put our offer in the very next day.

Its safe to say that we couldn’t be happier with Wendy’s performance and moving forward I don’t think we will ever buy another property without her. If property is your wealth creation strategy and you want to make your money work for you, surround yourself with professionals like Wendy!”

Russell and Larissa | YEPPOON

“Wendy has been fantastic with helping me purchase an investment property in Brisbane. She has been excellent in communicating openly and honestly throughout the buying process, helping with negotiations and inspections. Her friendly attitude, market knowledge and excellent services gave me the confidence to purchase the right property at the right price. It has been a great pleasure working with Wendy and would highly recommend her services to anyone wanting to purchase property.”

Pravyn Winston | MORANBAH

“From my first meeting with Wendy I found her extremely personable and easy to deal with. She listened carefully to our requirements and not only grasped them quickly but added her own extremely helpful insights and knowledge to hone in on what would work for us.

Living 8hrs from Brisbane, I was quite apprehensive about the prospect of searching for a property but Wendy made the whole process incredibly stress-free and enjoyable. I had great fun meeting up with her and looking at properties together, and I definitely felt she had a sound understanding of us and our needs as well as the current market and local area.

Having her look at properties and filter them, as well as sending videos and reports on different potential units, made the distance a non-issue, and made the process fun and easy.

Her assistance and advice through the actual purchase process was invaluable and her ‘after-purchase care’ is exceptional.

I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a buyer’s agent in Brisbane, she’s worth every penny!”

Richard and Victoria Moffatt | NORTH QUEENSLAND

“Even though were facing an incredibly challenging time in our professional and personal lives, we really wanted to follow through on one of our goals which was to purchase an investment property by the end of 2017.

Living interstate, coupled with very little time to invest in the search process, meant help was needed if we were to achieve this goal.

After researching buyers agents we decided to approach Wendy, this turned out to be one of the best decisions made in a process full of twists and turns.

The level of service and professionalism we received from Wendy surpassed anything we’ve experienced in our previous two investment property purchases. We believe Wendy was key in securing this property from the vendor who was still very much emotionally attached. Her skills in discovering what the vendor was really looking for in this process, in addition to expert negotiation with the seller’s agent, positioned us as the preferred buyer in a multiple offer situation.

If you are looking to purchase a property, no matter for what purpose, we would truly recommend investing in the service provided by Wendy Russell and her team.”

Kristian and Chelsea Attreed | NORTHERN TERRITORY

“Wendy helped me with the purchase of my first investment property. As the property was interstate her local knowledge and connections were invaluable.

Wendy was patient and did not rush my decision and was happy to wait for the right property to come along that suited my needs.

At no point did she pressure me to decide on a property to complete the transaction. Nothing was too much trouble for Wendy. She reviewed my brief a number of times as I got more informed about what I was trying to achieve. She had good relations with other real estate agents which I believe gave her more information to negotiate on the price.

She sourced and organised quotes for legals, painters, electricians, air conditioner installers and quantity surveyors to write the depreciation schedule. She was happy to find me a managing agent and would talk to the agent and conveyancer on my behalf.

Wendy is very easy to deal with and passionate about helping people find the right property for their circumstances. She managed a potentially very stressful process from beginning to end and I would not hesitate to recommend her to other buyers.”

Jennifer Cheung | SYDNEY

“We live in Sydney and started working with Wendy Russell in March, 2017 to purchase an investment property in Brisbane.

From the start Wendy provided us with confidence that she was the right person for the job. We are people that like to be well informed and kept up to date with any progress.

Wendy and I had many conversations and nothing ever seemed to be a problem for her.

Throughout the time Wendy researched and attended many properties on our behalf, and the thing that strengthened our trust in Wendy was the fact that she knocked back many properties as unsuitable for us.

Wendy kept saying, “We can do better.” When the phone call came from Wendy and she told us she was excited, we knew that the property was going to be good and meet our criteria. With Wendy’s guidance we knew what the property was worth and made an offer.

After some negotiation our price was accepted and because of Wendy we got a very good deal and paid less than what we feel the property is worth.

We have just settled on our property and have nothing but praise for Wendy. She is highly professional but also highly personable. I would and have no hesitation in recommending Wendy Russell. We could not be happier.”

Jason and Kendra Stewart | SYDNEY

“Hi Wendy, I just wanted to drop you a note on behalf of Christine and I on our recent Brisbane acquisitions. Thank you most sincerely for the energy and patience you brought to our investment search. As you know we had been looking for some time in a number of different markets.

Your ability to uncover the hidden opportunities we secured was greatly valued and ultimately I think we have secured a great deal. You have saved us both time and money, but more importantly I am confident we have secured properties that will deliver the right result over the long term - and that is why we engaged you. Thanks again and we look forward to staying in touch.”

Darren and Christine McCoy | SYDNEY

“We are growing our overall investment portfolio, and put simply, the best thing we’ve ever done with property was engaging Wendy. We’re suspicious folk, and particularly when it comes to real estate as that suspicion is generally justified. But the thing with Wendy is there isn’t a catch, sale, hook or stuff up, she is simply legit the whole way through. What’s more, if you ever look at her fee and question it, I can hand over heart say it is worth every penny, and this is based on simply maths: having her EASILY freed up 60 hours of our time hunting, negotiating, managing, inspecting, and travelling.

This time and stress is something we simply don’t have to give. On top of that, you get the benefit of a qualified professional’s advice, negotiation, task management and delegation (keeping solicitors, financiers, agents in check), and her contacts - which all hold intangible value. She’s the kind of person you would trust referring your grandmother to.”

Jeff Harris | BRISBANE

“It has been a pleasure having you represent me as my buyer’s agent. Your knowledge of the property market was evident from the outset and I could see why you had chosen this property for me.

I particularly appreciated the frank advice from you rather than just making potentially empty promises or, just telling me what I wanted to hear.

Achieving an off-market purchase that ticked all of the fundamental investment boxes is exactly what I wanted to use a buyer’s agent for and you certainly did not disappoint.

The entire process from finance to settlement was by far the smoothest I have been through yet and I have no doubt that you are largely to thank for this. I look forward to working with you again and would have no hesitation in recommending your services.”

Gareth Rice | BRISBANE

“Wendy spent over two months working with me to secure the investment I was hunting for. In this time I found her to be very honest and knowledgeable in all aspects of the real estate industry.

Wendy approached all steps in the purchasing process with confidence and assurety especially when it came time to go to auction.

She has very good contacts in the industry, proven when rental appraisals and building inspections were organised in extremely short notice.

Furthermore Wendy’s sharp negotiating skills achieved an unexpected discount on the final purchase price. If you’re looking for a reliable buyer’s agent with a broad knowledge of the industry I would highly recommend Wendy.”

Jordan Fitzgerald | BRISBANE

“I am very happy with your service you have provided me with & would highly recommend you to friends and family any day of the week. Your professionalism is at a top standard & made things feel a whole lot less stressful for me through the whole process.”

Nick H | NORTH QLD

“I worked with Wendy Russell in the later half of 2016. I needed to purchase a property that fit my very specific portfolio strategy, which included a need to purchase well below market value.

Wendy was able to find me an off market property whose owners had a need to sell quickly. This property was in a great suburb within 10km of the CBD and had a high growth potential. Wendy was able to check off on all of my requirements and negotiated the sale greatly to our favour.

As a result we were able to achieve 14.2% capital growth on the property within 6 months of purchase.

We would not have been able to achieve this result without Wendy’s expertise and guidance. I look forward to working with her again in the very near future.”
