Wendy Forshaw

Wendy not only did an outstanding job she showed persistence, honesty, and an ability to correspond with vendors out of town. We chose Wendy because of her integrity and her extensive knowledge of the Whangarei market. It's never easy selling the home of a loved one and Wendy's empathy and professionalism made this journey possible with the least amount of stress.

Wendy was great all round, as I knew she would be. Despite being a personal friend her professionalism was second to none. She was honest, realistic but always positive, non-judgemental, complimentary and human! - expressing her frustration (just to me of course) at the lack of response from some of the viewers she unwaveringly followed up for feedback. She respected without question my wishes, at the same time offering helpful advice when I looked to her for guidance; her final word was always "it's your decision". In the submission of the conditional offer, she applied her extensive knowledge, experience and skills, pointing out to my purchasers my willingness to meet the market which resulted in a significant $$ increase from their original offer, bringing the final price paid very close to my (reduced) list price. (I need to point out here that the price reduction was my suggestion, not Wendy's.) Wendy is such a hard-working soul with multiple listings on the go at any given time; I have already recommended her to a friend.

Wendy is very friendly and professional. She does her job to the highest quality and goes out of her way to help

Such a stress free, pleasant and simple experience, Wendy went above and beyond to make it so. I’m very grateful for her assistance.

Wendy sat down with us from day one and was always there when we needed her advice. Amazing lady. Thank you Wendy for your perseverance and selling our home.

Friendly, enthusiastic and a true professional. We are very happy with the service from Wendy and the result in a tight quiet market is an excellent one. Thanks for all the hard work :-)

We met Wendy 20 years ago when she sold some property to us. We kept her in mind for all these years. She was an excellent choice to sell our property now. Easy to deal with, very professional, friendly and no task was ever too difficult or too small. Even in this market she achieved a great price for us. We would not hesitate to call Wendy again for any property projects.

Wendy is amazing to deal with. She made the whole process of buying very easy. We found her honest, approachable and knowledgeable. Nothing was a problem for Wendy. We have already recommended Wendy to friends that are wanting to sell.

Wendy was very professional, and worked hard for her clients.

Wendy is very trustworthy and kind shes been with me in my journey of selling after my husband died. I feel I don't have to worry, she dots the i's and crosses the t's.

Wendy was very efficient and returned calls and answered questions in a very timely manner. Very easy to get hold of and it did not feel like she was solely working for the sellers best interests.

Wendy has been extremely helpful, understanding and responsive to our needs; ensuring we had all the necessary information. Her communication was wonderful and timely.

I think she looked after me very well.

Wendy is highly professional, very knowledgeable in many areas and extremely helpful. On the top of this she has excellent communication skills and is kind and supportive.

Wendy was a real pleasure to deal with! Would definitely recommend her! Thanks Wendy, we got there!!!

Wendy is friendly, attentive, competent and genuine - all things I value highly. She applies her local knowledge to everything she does, and I felt completely assured during the buying/selling process that she would do all she could for a successful outcome! Thank you, Wendy!!!

She worked extremely hard for us, would use her time and time again.

Wendy is very hardworking, and added more value to the buying experience than most real estate agents have added to our selling experiences. I cannot think of any in Whangarei that I would recommend higher after our interactions with a few while purchasing.

Wendy guided us as to price expectations, and was excited for us as when we sold conditionally after the first open home. Wendy's reputation was exactly as wonderful as our experience.

Took every challenge in her stride! The sale of our property presented a number of challenges. We were part of a chain of house moves and our house threatened to stick on the market and hold up everyone in the chain, but Wendy always went the extra mile to take on private viewings, and follow up those who had shown any interest at Open Homes. When we were ready to quit and allow the chain to find another person to join in our place, Wendy retained her energetic optimism and never gave up for one moment. She proved right to stick with it, for she completed a sale within the time frame required and several families, not just ourselves, gave a big sigh of relief. Thanks Wendy!

Having purchased real estate several times in the past, I would rate Wendy as the best real estate person I have dealt with both in Whangarei and NSW Australia. Besides Wendy’s personality, there’s other qualities Wendy has compared with MOST other agents. Wendy is honest, fully experienced, genuine and keeps you up to date with all communications. I’ve never had dealings with previous agents who work as hard and long hours as Wendy does and yet keeps showing ongoing energy and enthusiasm. The way Wendy operates gave us confidence and in no way felt she was out just for money but also had our interests, concerns at heart. Wendy is a star!!

Wendy is a wonderful, honest, trustworthy and hard working real estate agent. She does what she says she is going to do, and works consistently for a good result. Wendy has sold three of our properties and we would choose her again and again. Thank you Wendy!

It was such a pleasure to have Wendy sell our house and she made the process so easy. She kept us up to date with updates the whole way through. She got us an awesome price and we certainly didn’t even expect to sell it at auction. We can recommend Wendy highly enough. One awesome lady .

Wendy is the consummate professional and a true credit to Ray White. She has excellent communication skills and a genuine understanding of people's needs. Thank you for all your hard work for our family Wendy.

Initially, from our open, Wendy was one of the first real estate agents to approach and talk to us from the many open home we had been to. She was very helpful during the entire process and often reached out and checked in. She made the experience very enjoyable. Nga mihi

We’ve bought and sold with Wendy a number of times, and have come to value her professional approach. She is friendly, tells it like it is, and does what she says she will.

Wendy was very helpful and easy to deal with. Wendy respond to all our requests promptly which helped to ensure the process went smoothly.

We found Wendy Forshaw very loyal, friendly and knew her job well. Nothing was a problem. Would highly recommend her to sell your home.

Wendy's local knowledge, experience and energy provides sellers with good advise.

Overall we were very happy with Wendy's service in regards to selling our home. She showed much resilience in the face of a rapidly changing market and acted with friendly professionalism. Thanks Wendy! Kind Regards, Sue & Trevor Gleeson

Working with Wendy was a great experience. Wendy walked us through the purchase process all the way which made it easier and less stressful for us, she went above and beyond and would recommend her services to anyone.

Wendy is a true professional, always honest and straight up, super friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble. She is a real pleasure to deal with.

We seriously could not have had a better agent, after we missed out in a property, Wendy went above and beyond and came up with our dream home.

Wendy was very professional, knowledgable and transparent with us leading up to and throughout the campaign. She went above and beyond facilitating several private viewings outside of scheduled open homes and provided us with thorough and prompt feedback. Wendy shared with us her expertise and experience and guided us to make informed decisions. Wendy was very supportive and encouraged us to feel confident in making our own decisions along the way. We highly recommend her services to anyone thinking about engaging in the housing market.

Wendy was a pleasure to deal with. We were unable to view the property with the Auckland lockdown and border closed. We felt very comfortable at all stages and love our new property.

From the start Wendy told us that she will be completely honest with us ... and she was. There was no sugar coating anything and misleading us. Wendy was easy to deal with and was always available to answer any little (or big) questions we had. We would definitely recommend Wendy to family and friends and use Wendy's service again. Many thanks to Wendy.

Wendy was amazing right throughout the whole process. She remained calm, professional and got us a price we were very happy with. Would highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking to sell and achieve the best price possible. Best agent ever!

Wendy is the best! We have used her services to buy houses quite a few times before and really value her honesty. She is so helpful and nothing is ever a bother. Selling with her is no different! She made the whole thing easy and was amazing with our tenant.

We found Wendy extremely competent in her knowledge of marketing our property. She has great confidence in Ray White as a company and their processes. This is evident in her words and attitude. We loved her positive, enthusiastic approach which coupled with a personality that is warm and encouraging fully appealed to us. Wendy came across as someone with high integrity which we really value. She is very professional and a great communicator. We highly recommend her.

Wendy was just fantastic, the whole experience buying 45 carr street kamo was fabulous.

Wendy was approachable and professional throughout the whole process of our house sale.

She is an excellent and honest agent. Hard working and good communicator. 👍

Wendy made the whole process of auction easy for us, also offering helpful advice on marketing. She is professional, calm, and approachable, which put us at ease.

Very professional and went out of her way to make a difficult process easy

I asked Wendy Forshaw to market my house and from Day One she was amazing. The value she put on my house was realistic and through her hard work and professionalism it sold in the target range. Wendy was totally professional in her approach to me and perspective buyers. She worked extremely hard marketing the house with her "Open Homes" and always did "follow up" contacts with the people who came through the property. I would recommend Wendy to anyone who is looking for an honest, hard working, dependable agent to market and sell their home.

Wendy is the amazing real estate agent who sold my late Aunt’s property . When we started the process of selling the unit, my aunt was terminally ill. Wendy was so kind and thoughtful when guiding me through this while I was also moving my aunt to a rest home in Auckland where I live. Sadly my aunt passed away just as the property went on the market. Nothing was too much trouble for Wendy and she kept me in the loop through every stage on the process offering advice and suggestions so I could make the best decision. She is professional, kind and totally trustworthy. I would highly recommend her as she makes a stressful time much easier.

My husband and I have been purchasing properties for over 20 years and have dealt with many agents on a regular basis. Recently we decided to sell one of our houses and obtained multiple appraisals with several agencies. It was obvious to see that Wendy stood out from the rest through her professionalism and genuinely believing that she could achieve a price much higher than what the other agents thought it was worth. From start to finish she has remained calm and positive and has never faulted to communicate with us however big or small. Her honesty and integrity is second to none and we found Wendy to be focused, enthusiastic, and extremely professional when dealing with all aspects of the sale of our house. We highly recommend Wendy, as she achieved an amazing result that even we thought was achievable, therefore proving to us that she really does have the vendor's best interest at heart. We look forward to working with Wendy again in future.

Wendy recently sold our home, after eleven months on the market. She was our agent for that period. Throughout that time, Wendy demonstrated absolute honesty and high ethical standards, a can-do attitude, high levels of communication and negotiation skills, and consistent perseverance and commitment. Initially, whilst searching for a selling agent, a major issue regarding our home’s compliance was glossed over by other real estate agents. Wendy stated the issue honestly, the potential problems that could arise, and helped us find a solution, using her network of contacts. This quite likely prevented a complication during the sales negotiation process. During an inspection, another compliance problem, which was a total surprise to us and our builders, became evident. Wendy suggested creative solutions, shared contacts and gave moral support. Wendy always endeavoured to reply honestly to purchasers’ questions and provided all info necessary about what might be considered negative aspects of our home. She researched answers to questions she might not be 100% sure of. Wendy was also reliable: if she stated she would do a task, we were confident it would be done, in a timely manner. Wendy has the ability to adapt her style of communication to the needs of the people she is speaking with. In our experience, this is a highly desirable skill in ‘completing deals’ and not common in the real estate industry. She demonstrated integrity and respect through her attentive listening skills and not ‘over-talking’. She was extremely creative in restating positively, a factor which might be considered a negative feature of our home or a situation. Wendy demonstrated tenacity and organisation during the eleven months of the selling process. Wendy was totally committed in her role at the many open homes, stayed much longer if required, followed up possible leads and reported back her findings. Despite this tenacity, she was sensitive and sincerely empathetic to our needs.

Wendy Forshaw, I found you a very honest and caring person. No smooth talking rubbish. Professional. I would recommend you to all my friends.

We had the pleasure of Wendy Forshaw as our salesperson for the sale of our property. We were so lucky in finding Wendy. She is professional and trustworthy beyond measure with a lovely, friendly approach to the process. She kept us informed every step of the way and we always knew exactly what was going on. Nothing was too much trouble for Wendy, and she always promptly answered any questions we had. She worked so hard to get the best result possible for our sale, and we simply would not have achieved that without her.
