Wendy Lynn

Need To Sell ~ Want To Buy ~ Just Say "WEN"

What do Clients Say?

After making the decision to relocate from Maine to the Sarasota area we went online and focused on properties that we THOUGHT were right for us. Each time Wendy's website SunnySarasotaHomes.com kept catching our attention. We contacted her and knew immediately from her friendly and professional manner that it was a MATCH! Wendy met with us for a week showing us homes that met our criteria and more within a 25 miles radius of our final selection. Wendy found us our dream home, our oasis home. We often say that we would not be living here if it hadn't been for her calm, professional perseverance.

Thank goodness Wendy was recommended to me when i needed to sell my parents' home. I live out of state and had no experience buying or selling homes in Florida. Wendy treated me like family, walked me through each step of the selling process and went way above and beyond what I expected a realtor to do (I CANNOT STRESS THIS, OR HOW MUCH I APPRECIATED THIS - ENOUGH!). She knows her business (and seems to love it), kept me posted along the way and quickly responded to my questions. Wendy also stayed calm, positive and focused whenever I started to panic and she was always confident that my parents' home would sell quickly and for a good price -- she was right!

Erik and I want to thank you for your help in our quest for a new home in Florida. The process was made more difficult by the fact that we used to live in Rochester, NY and could only make limited trips to Florida. We knew we wanted to be somewhere along the Gulf Coast but that was about all we knew. Like most other buyers we saved a lot of legwork by working hours on the web. In fact, that’s where we stumbled upon you. Now, using the word stumbled may seem less than flattering, but when you think about it, that’s exactly what happened. During our first actual house hunt, you picked us up at our hotel totally prepared to accommodate our aggressive time lines and support us in what we were looking for. All properties, and there were many that first visit, were aligned in your GPS and we covered the gamut. That first trip, we didn’t select anything so back we went back to New York. We each had our homework. Many communications were made during these few weeks; you were never too busy to answer questions or concerns. Happily you had a good understanding of the area and the market which coupled with the understanding you developed of our sometimes-conflicting wants, helped to minimize the consequences of our remote location in NY. Several lengthy e-mails helped us narrow our options. It of course required several trips to complete the process and several offers that went nowhere due to the rapidly changing market. Even after we had an offer that was accepted you were helpful during the process of clearing contingencies and didn’t back away from any issue that arose. The purchase was completed and we left our home in New York, drove to Florida, and you all but opened the door to our new home for us. Thanks again for all your help!

Wendy's name was given to us by another Realtor who recommended her for the area we were looking to buy a home in. We can't say enough about how much we appreciated all the emails and phone calls she had to deal with. Wendy Lynn made the process run smoothly with a fun loving professional personality. Word of mouth advertising is the best of all...I will be sharing her name with all my acquaintances!

About Wendy

I am a Realtor with Fine Properties in Sarasota specializing in residential real estate. I help buyers and sellers in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. I’m originally from Ohio and moved here in 2005 with my husband. We figured why wait until retirement to enjoy the wonderful weather. Prior to getting into real estate, I worked in the banking industry through college and for over 10 years after graduating. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Ashland University in Ohio with a double major in Management and Finance. I 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 I felt it was an exciting new challenge. I needed a change and with the encouragement of my husband I 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 but my business is growing. My financial background provided a great foundation to transition into real estate. I am able to understand the various financing options for my buyers, which helps me to better serve my clients by bringing the best of both worlds. Everything I do, I do for my clients. 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 (I am). Since 2008, I have completed a few designations and am working on a few more. I am currently a Member of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing; a Certified Distressed Property Expert and a Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource. All the courses I take are to further my knowledge to help my clients. Real estate is a business that never rests. Along with daily interactions I have with my sellers, buyers and prospective clients, I also take the time to preview properties so I stay familiar with the different neighborhoods throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties. It also helps me stay informed of the inventory of homes out there for my buyers and the competition for my sellers. I preview homes on Siesta Key, Casey Key and other areas. I also frequently visit the builders in the area and know what they have to offer my clients if they want a NEW Home. Over the last few years I have been Networking and getting to know local vendors that can help my clients. Want to remodel your home? I know building contractors. Need to fix your pool, I know some great people. Want a concierge service that takes care of your home when you are up north for the summer? I know plumbers, electricians, interior designers and anyone else you might need to know. No one Realtor can do this alone. I have been building my team. Since entering the real estate business I have surrounded myself with a team of people designed to help my customers. I have aligned myself with the best lenders, incredible real estate attorneys, home inspectors that go above and beyond, moving companies and the list goes on. I even recruited my husband to help me with the marketing and advertising of homes for my sellers. So when you decide that you’d like to buy or sell a home in Manatee or Sarasota County please feel free to contact me.
