Description

Wendy Wheeler has been a realtor for over 29 years and has relished every moment. Combining her in-depth knowledge of accounting and taxes with the local area’s real estate investment and residential opportunities, Wendy is passionate about helping every client she serves to make optimal real estate decisions that will likely be the most important purchase of their lives. Her success is apparent with the consummate trust from her clients who often refer their friends and family, including children who are now adults and ready to purchase their first home.

Prior to her career as a realtor, Wendy obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in Accounting from the University of Utah. Shortly after graduating, she began working for one of the largest public accounting firms in the world, KPMG Peat Marwick, serving real estate and banking clients as a public accountant. After several years in finance, she decided to shift gears and become a real estate agent, applying her extensive knowledge of accounting for the two industries she served. Her clients now - the investors, new homeowners, and those seeking to make sound retirement choices - are grateful for it. They appreciate that she can advise them on tax advantages and offer invaluable support with their investment decisions.

Wendy has plenty of hands-on experience as a property owner and investor. Over the years, she has purchased, sold, and managed a number of properties of her own and for others. The job perks of flexibility, the fact that there’s always something new and interesting to learn, and that she meets new people, many of them evolving into lasting friendships, are all factors in the pleasure of going to work every day. “The greatest reward though,” she explains, “are the smiles on my client’s faces when they find their dream home.” From her hard work and dedication for every one of her clients, regardless of the investment size, she’s gratefully reaped the reward of repeat customers and endless referrals.

Along with a successful career in real estate, Wendy is blessed with four very active children. She resides in Olympus Cove and enjoys the occasional theatre production, watching her kids play their variety of sports, and scrapbooking. She also maintains a balance between work and leisure by spending time outdoors camping with her family.

Testimonials

Wendy is the absolute best real estate person we have ever worked with. She has an unbelievable amount of knowledge, an incredible work ethic, and has literally saved us thousands of dollars navigating every step of the way from home search, to offers, negotiations, mortgages, appraisals, inspections, etc. She asks questions about stuff we didn't even know we needed to know. We won't even think of using anyone else when it comes time for us, or any member of our family, to buy or sell a house in the Salt Lake area. We unconditionally recommend her to all of our family and friends. She is the best!!

Mike and Michelle Hunger

Wendy is the first realtor I've ever had and if I ever need one in the future, she will be my go to. She helped me find my dream home! She has helped other members of my family find homes and came well recommended to them, so it was a no brainer to have her help me. I think the main thing that sets Wendy apart from other agents is the fact that she really cares about her clients. While some realtors are in it for themselves, it was obvious from the get go that Wendy was not. She wanted me to find a home that I liked, in the price range that I could afford. There were so many things that I didn't know about when it came to real estate and buying a home but she was patient and carefully explained things to me so I could understand. She earned my trust in a quick manner because of this. She stuck with me when I had to negotiate city code in order to know if building an accessory unit was feasible. She stuck with me through the inspection, through all the days where it seemed like it wasn't going to work out, through all the days when I doubted it was even possible. When it did become a possibility, she was constantly checking in with my mortgage broker and through to the closing. When I was discouraged, she was there to shed positive light on the situation. Wendy is really good at negotiating with other agents and getting the skinny on things that the other party wouldn't normally be transparent about. She is really good at assessing the price of a home vs the inflated/asking price. Why is she so good? Again, it's because she cares and she has so much experience. You wont find any better than Wendy! I would HIGHLY recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a home or seeking to sell a home. Give her a call, you wont regret it!

Wendy is the only realtor we hope to ever use. She became our good friend almost immediately and we trust her completely. Wendy is the whole reason that we got into our first investment property and we honestly couldn't recommend using her enough! We were very intimidated by the housing market and Wendy did everything she could to help us feel informed and confident. We can never thank you enough Wendy!

Heidi Jeppesen

Wendy was an outstanding agent to work with. Her knowledge about houses was so helpful as we were looking for a home, and once we found a home, Wendy became even more valuable. She helped us see the advantages and disadvantages of the home as we were evaluating it, helped us understand the neighborhood and chased down answers to all of our questions. She was always pleasant to work with, was an aggressive negotiator for us and gave solid advice as to when to push and when to tread softly. We really enjoyed working with Wendy and I would have no problem whole-heartedly endorsing her as a wonderful agent to work with.

Trevor Nielson

Wendy Wheeler is a great agent and a great person. She plans meticulously. She enabled me to maximize the value of my condo. She foresaw all the difficulties that could arise and planned for them. She saw the potential and presented my condo in the best way possible. I highly recommend her. Very professional. Excellent to work with. Extremely personable.

In early 2019, we decided to sell our SLC area house in spring 2020. In fall 2019, we started searching for the right real estate agent that would be suited for working with us as out of state sellers. After interviewing several agents, Wendy seemed to be the right agent to represent our interests throughout the journey of selling the house. Wendy or, ‘Super Wendy’ as we refer to her, proved to be a great choice for the task ahead. Her strengths are many. Outstanding people skills, great attentions to details, respectful of clients input and requests. Wendy is well connected in her professional community which is a great asset for the intricate process of marketing a house. She is hard worker, solid, and available for questions, suggestions, clarifications, etc.. In addition, Wendy is sensitive to emotions and needs of all involved in the process. In our case, there were many tasks involved to be ready for listing the house on the market. This included Wendy checking out our tenant, coordinating various contractors, stagers, keeping her office staff updated, while maintaining contact with other realtors, and potential buyers. From the start, Wendy negotiated issues and concerns smartly, timely, and responsively. She proved to be a wonderfully trusted guide and adviser and made the process easy for us, especially, considering our being long distance sellers. We found Wendy to be wise, fun, and a true professional. It was a blessing to have ‘Super Wendy’ at our side. You go Wendy ! To sum it all up, we highly recommend Wendy to be your realtor.

Rachel and Mark

A strong real estate agent will communicate clearly and often. They will also be organized, very knowledgeable, and do this consistently from the day the home is listed all the way through the end of closing. My experience with Wendy Wheeler was all of this and I would absolutely go to her again.

Stephan Penn

As a first time home buyer, I think our expectations have been set extremely high with Wendy as our realtor. Wendy became a friend and helped us find our dream home (or at least it will be once remodel is done). My husband and I knew nothing. I mean nothing. She walked us through the steps and was patient. She never pushed her opinion on us, she gave us information and gave us the space to decide on our own what made sense for us. Her wealth of knowledge is tremendous— she knows schools, churches, neighborhoods, gyms, etc. she also gave us recommendations for an amazing inspector, an awesome (and awesomely priced) handyman and a great carpet cleaner. She knows everyone, will become your friend (she quickly became our 4 year olds favorite person), and has the wealth of knowledge you look for in a realtor. We love Wendy!

Hannah Dahlia

I’m so glad we found Wendy as our real estate agent. This was our first time buying a home and Wendy was extremely helpful walking us through the entire process. She got us an amazing deal which is hard to do in this competitive market. Wendy is an honest, hardworking, genuinely kind agent who treats you like family. She is reliable, answers all our questions in a timely manner, and also has a great network of people she has recommended to us that we have been very grateful for! She truly is the best in her field. We would recommend her to anyone!

Brianna and Trevor

Wendy has represented me as a seller and as a buyer over many years for me, family members and friends. Her experience and knowledge is exceptional. She has good relationships with many important contacts needed in a RE transaction. She is responsive and caring and it is easy to highly recommend her services.

Mary Schwartz

Wendy was our primary realtor as my husband and I moved from Ohio to Southern Utah for retirement. She did a phenomenal job of tracking the details and following up as we had a home built in Hurricane, Utah. She had or found an answer for every question and made the experience so smooth, considering that many decisions were made long distance. Her communication skills are excellent and entirely professional. Her personable demeanor and caring attitude were a plus! There were, of course, problems that had to be resolved during the build, and her vast knowledge of the process and available options was so helpful. I unreservedly recommend Wendy as an exceptional realtor.

Jolene Downs

She has been amazing, I understand the investment world 10 times better cuz of her knowledge, she has helped me be so successful in such a short period of time. I've teamed up with her 5 times now, and I plan to on another 5, no one I would rather have on my side than Wendy...

Preston Snyder

I could give Wendy a 100 star rating. She is everything we wanted/needed in a realtor. We moved from out of state and Wendy was so easy to work with from afar as well as dedicating ample time to us when we came out to look at houses. She made the whole process seamless from top to bottom. She’s been in the area a long time and offered wonderful advice/knowledge on areas after getting to know us and what we were looking for. We have used other realtors in the past and Wendy is top notch. Professional, personable, willing to go to bat for her clients, thorough, and works harder than anyone I know. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a successful relocating experience. Thank you, Wendy!

Cherie Musick

Wendy is a professional I'm every sense of the word. She knows how to handle anything and I trust her to make choices based on our wants and needs. She is a delight !

Krystina Patterson

Wendy is all around just the best professional to have on your side. You will not be let down ! We had a VERY unusual situation with the house we wanted to buy and she was the only person in the deal who knew exactly what was required to get it done.

Krystina Patterson

I have bought and sold 25 properties, personal or investment purposes and I give her my absolute highest recommendation without qualification. We as siblings were selling my elderly mother’s home with Wendy, and it sold in two days. That was not because she had it priced too low, but because of the excellent preparation of the house that Wendy had us do. The house was ready to sell for a good price, and it did. I would recommend Wendy to anyone who is buying or selling a property.

Bruce Money

I have absolutely nothing but positives in my experience with Wendy Wheeler as our broker. My brothers and I set about selling our elderly mother’s home, which was certainly a daunting task, but Wendy helped make it seem feasible and encouraged us throughout the process. She initially aided us in creating a comprehensive list of what needed to be done to prepare the house to be sold. No detail was overlooked, and as a result, we knew the exact steps required to make the house marketable. She frequently contacted me to provide support, to answer questions, or to volunteer her physical help. She would meet me at the house whenever I needed for any reason. She not only supplied references for cleaning, yard work, window washing, etc., she even contacted these service providers herself and set up the appointments. Wendy was extremely professional, but also seemed approachable, friendly, and personal. For instance, during our months of preparing for the house to go on the market, Wendy discovered that one of my family members was experiencing a serious health issue. She was genuinely concerned for me and carried through with support and thoughtfulness until the scare was over. Because of Wendy’s expertise, our mother’s home went from date of listing to date of closing in less than two weeks. I would definitely not hesitate to hire her for any of our future real estate needs!

Cynthia Swan

Wendy did a fabulous job at all of the following, all in a very short period of time: helping us know what was needed to get our mom's home ready for sale (a big undertaking); staging it for listing and showing; evaluating and presenting offers; negotiating a very favorable price; and getting the sale closed on time. Her high level of responsiveness and unfailingly positive attitude were especially appreciated. I've participated in hundreds of transactions during my 32-years of practicing law, and I never encountered anyone more enjoyable to work with than Wendy.

David R. Money

When we first met with Wendy to explore and discuss whether or not to put our home on the market we were touched by how well she listened to our concerns and then communicated to us the pros and cons of listing or not listing our home. It became evident that her primary goal was to help us decide what to do as she spent a couple of hours listening to and answering our questions.
It also became evident that Wendy is very professional and highly thought of in the real estate community.
The first measurable aspect of Wendy’s professionalism came after we decided that putting our home on the market was the right thing to do. Wendy got right to work. She hired a great stager to make our home look perfect then a skilled photographer to make the photos of our home look their absolute best.
After our home was sold and it was time to close, Wendy made sure our closing agent was the best in the city and our closing went without a hitch. It was even fun!
Wendy is a great communicator. She provided lots of advanced notice when people wanted to view our home and almost immediate feedback afterwards. She never communicated anything but positivity during the time our home was on the market as well as after it sold.
Wendy has a keen understanding of the Utah housing market in general and the Salt Lake City market specifically. She priced our home perfectly for a very quick sale and we were happy to receive an additional back up offer.
Other very important, yet not always measurable aspects of Wendy’s professionalism are her integrity, engaging personality, and desire to do what is best for her clients. She works hard to build and maintain a positive relationship with her selling clients and with realtors representing buying clients.
We can’t emphasize enough what a delightful experience we enjoyed as Wendy Wheeler represented us in selling our home. We know we will remain close friends and are grateful we chose her as our real estate agent.
