Wendy Lynn is originally from Ohio and moved here in 2005 with her husband Josh. They figured why wait until retirement to enjoy the wonderful weather. Prior to getting into real estate, she worked in the banking industry through college and for over 10 years after graduating. She received her Bachelor’s Degree from Ashland University in Ohio with a double major in Management and Finance.
Wendy entered the Real Estate Arena in 2008. Most thought it was a crazy time to get a real estate license because of the housing market collapse, but she felt it was an exciting new challenge. With the encouragement of her husband, she decided to go for it. His exact words were, “We love it here, we’ve bought a home here and we don’t want to go anywhere else, so go ahead and build your business”. It’s taken a lot of hard work starting in a down market but we have grown our business. Coming from a financial background helped provide a great foundation to transition into real estate. She’s able to understand the various financing options for her buyers, which helps to better serve her clients by bringing the best of both worlds.
No one Realtor can do this alone, Wendy Lynn had been building her team which included recruiting her husband. Since entering the real estate business she has been surrounding herself with a team of people designed to help their customers. The Wendy Lynn Group has aligned themselves with the best lenders, incredible real estate attorneys, home inspectors that go above and beyond, moving companies and the list goes on.
Continuing education is very important! Every two years each Realtor is required to complete continuing education to renew their license. Great Realtors go above and beyond by getting new designations, going to seminars and in house training courses. Also attending classes held by local real estate attorneys about the new laws and changes to our contracts. Real Estate changes daily and you need to make sure your Realtor is keeping up with these changes. Wendy has completed a few designations over the years. She is a Resort and Second Home Property Specialist; a Million Dollar Guild Luxury Home Marketing Specialist; a Certified Distressed Property Expert and a Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource. All the courses taken are to further her knowledge to help her clients.
Real estate is a business that never rests. Along with daily interactions with their sellers, buyers and prospective clients, they also take the time to preview properties so they stay familiar with the different neighborhoods throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties. It also helps them stay informed of the inventory of homes out there for our buyers and the competition for our sellers. They also frequently visit the builders in the area and know what they have to offer our clients if they want a NEW Home.
Everything is about our clients! Wendy and her team love helping people and it shows.
