Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
“Wendy helped us secure our dream home recently and we couldn’t be happier. We were impressed with how Wendy explained strategy and the process. She acted for us at auction and we are very happy with the result.”
KRISTOF & EMILIA | HOLLAND PARK“We had been searching for a property for a few months on our own, and as first home buyers who have very busy work lives, we were completely overwhelmed. The market we stepped into was extremely competitive, with multiple offers on every property and it felt like an impossible task. Initially we were quite unsure about investing in a Buyer’s Agent, but from the moment we had our first consultation with Wendy we knew it was the right decision for us. She took the time to get to know us, understand exactly what we were looking for and answer any questions (which were many). We left the consultation feeling confident and excited.
Throughout the whole process, Wendy’s communication was amazing. Always taking the time to answer every question we had with so much patience – her knowledge is next level. The process itself was actually really enjoyable as well! We loved getting videos of property walk-throughs, which also meant we didn’t have to spend every weekend going to multiple open homes. Any property we had a genuine interest in we received a full due diligence report as well, which we found incredibly helpful.
When it came to finally securing a property we loved, Wendy did everything possible to make sure it was ours – including back and forth negotiations at 9.30pm!! We truly believe we would not have been able to purchase our dream home without her. Wendy (and her assistant Ericka) went above and beyond our expectations and made the process of buying our first home a truly enjoyable experience. We can’t recommend Wendy highly enough to anyone looking to purchase a property in Brisbane!”
MITCH AND BRIANNA | MURARRIE
“Being first home buyers, we didn’t have a clue on how to go about finding the right property for us. From our first meeting onwards, Wendy put us at ease and gave us comfort and reassurance about the process. She not only guided us but was also a great sounding board for different property ideas.
We wouldn’t have got our dream home without her. It’s her expert negotiation skills and experience, that got us the property and also saved us a lot of money.
Wendy went above and beyond throughout this process…especially during a pandemic! And now we’re popping the champagne in our dream home. Thank you Wendy for all your help and support. I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking to buy a property.
It’s the most important decision of your life and you need a professional who knows how this process works.”

EMILY O | BRISBANETHERE IS A REASON WENDY HAS A PERFECT REVIEW RECORD. SHE IS SIMPLY AMAZING!
“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.
Wendy Russell, our professional agent, strategist and a friend forever!”
TREVOR AND LIZ | SYDNEY
“Wendy was recommended to us by a top agent in Brisbane to bid on our behalf at an auction on the Gold Coast. We had been targeting this particular area for a while and had seen a lot of competition in the market for these properties. I was keen to remove the emotion and engage an expert to represent us at auction, Wendy was exactly what I wanted and she far surpassed our expectations. We discussed the preferred strategy and pricing limits prior to the auction and she confidently bid on our behalf and was able to slow the auction down and secure the property below our agreed limit. I’m confident that we wouldn’t have achieved this outcome without Wendy and her experience and I have no hesitation in recommending Wendy’s services.”
ADAM AND NICOLE | GOLD COAST
Wow Wendy, you’ve done it again!
“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 | BRISBANE
“Wendy was extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful in helping us secure our investment property. 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
“I recently purchased a house with Wendy’s invaluable assistance. It took a few months from start to finish and throughout the process Wendy was positive, patient, proactive and professional. When we did find the right house, she made the whole process so much less stressful. Together we got better results than I could have got alone, especially as I live interstate and there were a few complications we needed to address along the way. ”
— EL KA | MELBOURNE
“We engaged Wendy recently for a purchase and from the get go, Wendy was polite, professional and honest.We found her opinion, knowledge and advice extremely valuable for our circumstances. She gave us confidence and lowered our stress levels.
I highly recommend engaging Wendy for her services.”
Michelle Cheong | Brisbane
“I gave Wendy a reference picture of my dream home. I wanted a colonial Queenslander in a certain area of Brisbane. They’re not easy to find and once found, bids are competitive.
Wendy was extremely pro active in her search and communicated her results back to me regularly. A few months later the actual house I’d referenced came up for sale in an off market capacity.
Wendy helped me secure the purchase of this home and at a decent price, something I am one hundred percent certain I wouldn’t have succeeded in doing without her.Beyond this incredible skill and talent Wendy has for negotiating, she is a wonderful person, always respectful, supportive and caring. She was patient, kind (understanding the stress of purchasing a home to live in) and completely transparent in her dealings with both myself and the seller.
She also organised everything to do with the purchase and settlement personally. When you engage Wendy, you deal with her direct, not an assistant. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wendy for anyone wishing to purchase a property in Brisbane. You won’t find a better buyer’s agent.”
— JENNIFER | BRISBANE
“Thank you very much for all of your assistance with finding our Queensland home. We are really loving our house and getting to know our neighbours and the area.
We really liked your approach – and we think that is what sets you apart from your competitors. You were organised and structured, yet able to be flexible when needed – and most important, you were always super patient!!!
We will come back to you when we purchase our next property and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to any of our friends.”
— TIM AND KATIE | 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
“Thanks again so much for everything you did Wendy! We honestly would never have got into this area, let alone this house without you.”
Michelle H | Kalinga
“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 at affordable rates 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
“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
“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
“We worked with Wendy to acquire our home in Brisbane and she made the whole experience very comfortable and delivered a very positive outcome. From the moment we first made contact she was extremely communicative and responded to all our questions quickly, with considered and knowledgeable input. Her advice was spot on with the right combination of cold hard facts tempered with the recognition that purchasing a home to live in has an element of intuition to it. Being new to the city we didn’t know the market and we weren’t comfortable with attending auction ourselves. Her knowledge of the market made us feel confident that we were making the right decision and strategy with regards to the purchase and ultimately she secured a spectacular property for us well within our budget.”
— CAROLYN AND DAVID | BRISBANE
“Honestly, working with you has been a delight.
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
“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
“Wendy – Thank you for all your work. We certainly couldn’t have done it without you. It was a pleasure to work with you. You made the whole process so easy for us and we were very reassured having you on board. Your service was 100% and fulfilled all our expectations, so thank you. We are so excited. Will let you know when we are in Brisbane.”
SADIE C | 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
“After speaking with Wendy and explaining my brief to her, I strongly felt that Wendy understood what I was looking for and that we would be able to work together. I told her I had an idea of what I wanted, but that I wanted someone to guide me. I needed someone to be my eyes and ears (as I am in Sydney) and someone to act as a funnel for me – to filter out all the unnecessary information and help me to focus on my main objective. Wendy absolutely delivered on everything she said she would, and I believe even more. Wendy understands the Brisbane market and thoroughly analyses each prospective property, and if there is good reason to discount any she will make sure to explain why. Likewise, she will explain why she thinks it may be a good buy. With regards to price, Wendy carefully considers what the property is worth given current market conditions and suggests the strategy that she believes will enable the best chance of securing that property. I have no hesitation in recommending Wendy, and have full faith in all her abilities to assist with your property purchase, whatever your brief may be.”
— DIANA SPEEDY | SYDNEY
“What can I say about Wendy, from the first time we spoke, I knew she was going to find me my first house. Before finding Wendy, I had spoken to other buyer agents and told them what I wanted in a house and I was told it couldn’t be achieved and that I should alter my brief. Wendy’s first response to what I wanted in a house was “Yep, we can definitely do that” and boy did she deliver. From day one to myself getting the keys, Wendy was nothing short of professional, enthusiastic and determined. During this process at no time did I felt rushed or pressured. She truly was an advocate for myself and the end result shows. Not only did she find me a house, but she found me a home that I can officially call my own. This roof over my head has been the best decision I have ever made to this date, and this would not have been possible without Wendy. I would recommend her in a heart beat. Thank you so much Wendy!”
— TRACY TOWNSEND | BRISBANE
“Wendy Russell represented me at the Auction for an exclusive apartment that I wanted to secure for investment purposes. Wendy’s bidding tactics on the day achieved the element of surprise, and a planned series of knock-out bids saw us secure the property for close to $50K under my original budget. Her well-planned approach, combined with an ability to act strategically throughout the changing nature of the auction undoubtedly underpinned the successful result we were able to achieve. She comes highly recommended.”
— BRENDON O’KANE | INVESTOR AND FOUNDER/CEO AT OTHERLEVELS INC.
“Wendy’s service is bespoke, from the initial consultation, refining the brief, shortlisting properties, all the way through to settlement – her approach is supportive yet also consultative and when required, assertive. By employing all these traits coupled with her extensive knowledge of the market and the real estate industry she offers a service that is enviable and simple put, ensures results. If you’re looking to ensure you purchase the right property for your specific requirements, Wendy is your woman!”
— NATALIE THOMAS | BRISBANE
“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
“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.”
— RHYS MACFARLANE | SYDNEY
“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
“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 | DIRECTOR AT ONE VISION FINANCIAL
“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
“After plenty of open homes and painful real estate agents, I am happy to say I am now a proud home owner in Brisbane. Thanks to Wendy for picking out this beauty with me.”
HAMISH H | BULIMBA
“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 & CHRISTINE | SYDNEY
“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. Additionally, 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
“Thanks again for the fantastic work you did to win the auction for us. You were so impressive from the first time we spoke on the phone and then every time after. Your professional and efficient service was the best we’ve ever had from a buyers agent and it was really nice working with you on this purchase.”
VIC AND GLENDA | SYDNEY
“From the first call I received from Wendy I knew I was working with someone who to put it plainly knew her stuff both business wise and in general just how to communicate with a client being both very professional and understanding of a novice’s basic understanding of purchasing property which you don’t find as a whole these days without someone trying to go for the big sell, that wasn’t Wendy. Wendy explained that it could be possibly the 1st or it maybe the 50th property she would find but it would be the right place in the right location that ticked all the boxes for a great investment and what a great property Wendy has found me. So from the start of the property search to the final completion date Wendy was informative all throughout the process from a multitude of pictures, showing the finer detail of why the investment property would be perfect for purchase to the historic property data backing it all up and what a daunting task it could of been if it wasn’t for the time that she had invested in the search.. So to summarise the experience I could not of been in greater hands with Wendy and would certainly recommend to absolutely anyone whether adding to there portfolio or to the novice investor like myself to make the whole buying process such a stress free and peace of mind knowing you are in great hands. So till next time i will look forward to working with Wendy. Thanks again.”
— RICHARD HARRIS | BRISBANE
“From our first conversation on the phone I felt very comfortable in you handling the process of our purchase in Brisbane. At no point in any of our conversations did I feel that you did not fully understand what you were discussing with me. You never fumbled on your words or contradict any previous information or conversation. It was very apparent that you had an experienced and sound understanding of purchasing property and of the market in general, particularly Brisbane. Once we decided on Amelia St your correspondence and guidance was exceptional. It was the smooth process I had hoped for and you were very good about my constant calling you to ask questions. At all times it felt you were on our side, and that comfort speaks volumes for a relationship of this nature. It was also very good of you to pick me up from the airport and show me other suburbs around Brisbane on our way to the B&P inspection. I think this adds a personal touch to your services and would recommend it is something you continue to undertake with future clients. In summary, our experience with you has been a pleasure and we have full faith in, and look forward to, you handling our next purchase up there. I wouldn’t want to deal with anybody else. I would also feel very comfortable recommending you to family and friends. You should be very proud of your level of professionalism and the way you do business, keep up the good work.”
— TRISTAN D | SYDNEY
“Anyone who is looking at buying a house for less than they would have hoped for then get in contact with Wendy. She saved me heaps and I didn’t have to do a thing. What a legend!!!”
ADAM C – FIRST HOME BUYER
“Thank you Wendy for your services securing my first property. Your positive attitude instigated great confidence in your ability to find the right property, at the right price. The faith was duly rewarded, with the result being better than my initial expectations. You have made this process stress free. Thanks so much for all your help Wendy!!!”
— LIAM O | FIRST HOME BUYER
“We have been happy about the buying process. We have appreciated the fact that you kept us constantly updated and answered our questions rapidly. We would not hesitate recommending your services and/or getting back to you for a future purchase.”
NATACHA G | WESTERN AUSTRALIA
“We engaged Wendy as our Buyer’s Agent on the recommendation of another trusted industry professional. She demonstrated an expert knowledge of the property industry and adopted a client-based approach. As a result we were able to purchase a property in line with our specific investment strategy. Wendy is very personable and her professionalism and enthusiasm exceeded our expectations. Our experience working with Wendy was a very positive one. We would make no hesitation in using her again for our own future investments and in recommending her to friends, family and anyone looking at making a property purchase. Take care and we look forward to working with you again in the future.”
— J AND C HORNE | MT ISA
“Dear Wendy, Firstly I want to thank-you for all your time and effort in assisting me in buying my first investment property in Australia. It was difficult choosing a buyer agent, when we had little knowledge about what exactly they could do for us to buy an investment grade property. Truly all the decisions in life, matters a lot for achieving any goal and our decision with guided luck, had you appointed as our buyer agent. I wasn’t disappointed; the first-hand knowledge you had on the Brisbane market and the consistent follow-up and the communication you had with us was extremely good and professional. Also the “best value” price to quote and tips you gave, on choosing the property was a quality education I got till now about the property market! There was no doubt you are one of the very good buyer agent! The other significant experience we had was, seeing the best efforts you put on negotiating the price and terms for us. I can say I was very happy with the end price and smooth transition of the whole process. I have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone, and have already done so with my friends. Any property buy would be easy, if you choose the right buyer agent. And it is easy for me now for my next property, as I know Wendy!! Many thanks and appreciation.”
— NARESH R | INDIA
“Tiffanie and I found you to be friendly, trustworthy, and very professional. We are new to property investing and you made the purchasing process easy and enjoyable by being proactive, keeping us well informed and offering good advice.”
NATHAN G | BRISBANE
“We have sold two properties with Wendy in a space of 3 months. As investors we wanted a simple, quick and cost effective process and Wendy ticked all of those. The thought of going through open homes, dealing with agents and having to negotiate with buyers to achieve value in our properties was a process I really wasn’t looking forward to. Having approached Wendy, as a buyers agent, we got to avoid the open homes which was a big plus for us and our tenants and both properties sold within weeks for prices we wanted to achieve. Wendy also brings a refreshing change to your view of real estate agents. She does what she says she will do, she listens to your needs and she makes the process so painless and actually enjoyable. We will definitely involve Wendy in our property investments in the future.”
— ANDREW QUINN | BRISBANE
“I would like to thank-you for your amazing assistance in securing a fabulous unit in New Farm to add to our portfolio. The whole experience was pain free (for me at least) and even exhilarating at times !! I really enjoyed meeting you (all be it, over the phone) and the many laughs we had along the journey. Your professionalism was nothing but outstanding, information was provided at a good steady pace and I felt as though you were on our side at all times. The process of sourcing a suitable property is one of my favourite parts in the portfolio building process, so for me to hand that over to someone else was quite a big step. I have no suggestions as to how you need to improve the way you handled yourself or the search for the ideal property as I was very impressed from beginning to end. I am also very grateful for your assistance above and beyond the call of duty with inspecting the wardrobes for me in your own time. If you ever need to convince someone that you are the right person to find them their dream property, please give them my number, I would be more than happy to recommend your service.”
— MYRA K | WESTERN AUSTRALIA
“I would like to thank you for your work in finding the right property for me in Morningside. Your constant feedback during the process was very informative and you always left me with a confident feeling and that I was in the hands of a professional. You made yourself available at all hours of the day and I was pleased that there was no pressure from you to accept any particular property. Even though I have not met you personally, I could tell by our telephone conversations that you enjoy your work and you know what you are talking about. Thanks again Wendy and I hope to catch you on the next transaction.”
— BRENT F | MELBOURNE
“I first met Wendy Russell when she viewed one of my auction properties, and from the very first moment I knew that I was dealing with a thorough professional. She had carried out extensive market research of the property in question, as well as the surrounding area. She was able to quote the capital growth percentage of the previous three years and was well aware of all the recent sales in the nearby vicinity. She knew the school catchments, local public transport links, flood risk, expected rental return and the development potential of the site. Every necessary piece of information had been researched so that Wendy’s client was in a position to make an astute educated decision about a substantial investment. I have since encountered Wendy at many of my properties, and I can truly say that her market research techniques and local area knowledge have increased.
Wendy is also a very shrewd negotiator. She comes armed with a well planned strategy, she knows how to read the play, and she exudes confidence in her bidding. She plays to win, but doesn’t let her emotions cloud her judgement. I have seen Wendy walk away from a bidding war if she believes it’s in her client’s best interest to do so.
As well as being a high calibre operator, Wendy is also an extremely charismatic young woman with a wonderful sense of humour. She effortlessly relates to people from all walks of life, and she has a natural warmth that allows you to instantly feel at ease.
In summary – I have the greatest respect for Wendy Russell, both as a person and as a fellow professional. Would I recommend Wendy to one of my closest friends or loved one’s? Yes! Would I engage Wendy to act as my Buyer’s Agent/Auction Strategist? Absolutely!
You simply cannot go wrong with this incredibly talented individual.”

“Big shout out to Wendy for what was a very stress free and smooth transaction for my seller. I have met Wendy previously but this was the first transaction that we have done together. Wendy really understood my clients situation and was very mindful that this was the first time that he was selling in over 57 years. As an agent working on behalf of the seller and when in a multiple offer situation you want to have confidence within the buyer that they understand the process as we are here as the trusted advisor to guide our sellers with what we believe is the right contract to accept. That said it was a no brainer, Wendy gave me complete confidence that this would be a fast and stress free process. Anyone looking to engage in the services of a buyers agent give her a shout. She most certainly knows her craft and will work in best with everyone to work towards a result where all parties are satisfied. Thanks again Wendy, looking forward to the next transaction with you. Cheers Lance”

“Wendy Russell bridges the gap between buyer, seller, auctioneer and agent with strategies that take the pressure off buyers whilst at the same time, getting them in the game and placing them forefront to being successful at auction. With the property market now more competitive than ever, more and more buyers should be considering the services of an experienced Buyer’s Agent and Auction Strategist. It just makes sense.”
— JUSTIN NICKERSON | DIRECTOR AT APOLLO AUCTIONS BRISBANE (0423 843 194)
“Working with Wendy is an absolute treat! She is a tough negotiator and it’s very obvious that she works hard to get her buyers a great deal and too the front of the pack in a hot market. I’ve worked with Wendy previously on multiple properties and she is one of the only true professional buyers agents. With market knowledge that is beyond comparison and a tenacious personality she has proven time and time again to get her clients great deals. Ten stars for Wendy!”
— JACKSON ORAM | CORONIS (0411 584 585)
“Simply The Best. I have been in the real estate industry for almost a decade and in my time I have met a lot of characters. Some good, some bad, some not worth remembering. Every once in a while you meet someone in this business that you remember long after your first encounter. Sometimes it’s the way they hold themselves, their knowledge, their passion, their dedication to their craft or their commitment to their clients.
Wendy Russell is someone that you will not forget. With an aura of elegance and gritty determination focusing on the outcome that she wants for her clients in every situation. Wendy’s reputation is built on the most simplest and effective concept in business, hard work. If you are looking for an advocate to guide you through the process of buying property then you must speak to Wendy. I’m not telling you that you should use her just off my recommendation but you at least you need to give her a call and see what she is all about. Within the first minute of chatting to Wendy everything that I have said will make sense to you and I would then encourage you to put up your own testimonial for this incredible woman and real estate specialist.”
— DARREN BONEHILL | CORONIS (0422 213 764)
“Wendy Russell acted as agent for a buyer on an Indooroopilly listing I had for sale. I have been in real estate for 15 years and must say that Wendy is the best buyers agent I have ever dealt with by a country mile. Her in depth market knowledge and skills in negotiating set a new industry benchmark. Should the buyer have acted directly and without engaging Wendy as their agent, they would have paid more for this property and with less favourable terms. She certainly proved her value to her client and I would not hesitate to engage her as my agent on any future transaction. There are plenty of agents in this industry but very few have the care factor to always do what is in their clients best interest. This is why I think Wendy is a success and will continue to be in the years to come. I offered this testimonial to Wendy because I think she deserves it.”
— ALEX JORDAN | MCGRATH ESTATE AGENTS PADDINGTON (0410 424 749)

“t was an absolute pleasure working with Wendy on the purchase of Moreton Street, New Farm. Not only were her buyers pre-qualified and ready to go, she inspected the property at short notice on behalf of her client and made a quick turn around with an offer. This was all within three days of the property hitting the market. Wendy was able to secure the property for her client prior to our first open home. Everyone involved in the transaction, including the owners and ourselves were appreciative of the seamless and stress-free transaction. We relish every opportunity we get to work with Wendy.”
— ANISSA LAMOND | PLACE ESTATE AGENTS NEW FARM (0416 939 392)

I have worked with a number of buyers agents in my time and I can’t say that there are many out there as professional as Wendy Russell. She was as pleasant to deal with as one would expect from a dedicated real estate professional. The service she supplies to her buyers is exceptional, furthermore her enthusiasm and passion for the industry allowed for an enjoyable sales experience. Her negotiating skills offered a willingness to compromise where necessary and she managed to work closely with me to secure a great deal for all parties involved. I would highly recommend Wendy to any buyers who are looking for the most professional advice when it comes to securing their next investment.”
— MATTHEW HABCHI | NORTH SOUTH REAL ESTATE BRISBANE (0422 442 234)
“As a Buyer’s Agent Wendy recently arranged for the purchase of a property in Windsor for an investor. I was the selling agent and I was impressed by Wendy. She was extremely thorough and professional throughout the buying process. Her attention to detail was impressive, from the initial inspection, through the negotiations and up to and beyond settlement. Wendy displayed a depth of knowledge of property and the market and what should be expected in the features, condition and price of a property. She recognised when a property was well priced in the market place and represented good buying value and she was able to secure the purchase swiftly in the face of competition. I would not hesitate to recommend Wendy as a Buyer’s Agent. Neither would I hesitate to give Wendy a buyer’s advantage by providing her with early notice of a property about to come onto the market for sale. I am extremely confident that Wendy’s clients are in very safe hands.”
— JOHN WEAVER | HAVIG & JACKSON CLAYFIELD (0419 660 192)

— CRAIG SMITH | TIM ALTASS REAL ESTATE BULIMBA (0419 783 457)
“I have been involved in many transactions where Wendy Russell has acted as the buyer’s agent. In all my dealings with her I have found her amongst the most proactive Agent I have dealt with in my 20 years of practice. Wendy takes her obligations to the buyers she represents very seriously, meticulously monitoring the legal process on behalf of her buyers from the negotiation stage through to settlement.”
— GERARD PAGLIARO | PARTNER AT GM LAWYERS WOOLOONGABBA (3844 0188)
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Wendy recently. Wendy’s professionalism and understanding of the industry was very evident in the way she ensured that her buyer’s requirements were fully qualified before introducing them to a property. Clear communication and quick response times are an absolute necessity when you are wanting to achieve a great outcome for a buyer. Wendy certainly didn’t let her buyers down when it came to acting promptly and professionally on their behalf. Since entering the industry in the 1980’s, I have worked with many buyers agents and unfortunately have had some disappointing experiences. In this instance however, I can only say that her performance has been exemplary and I look forward to working with Wendy again in the future.”
— LEE PAUL | RAINE & HORNE NEW FARM (0418 733 818)
“I have known Wendy as a client for some years as a result of my role as a Rent Roll Broker. During this time I have had the opportunity to observe the thoroughly professional way that she conducts both herself and her business. Wendy has a great work ethic and the best interests of her clients as her prime objective. Wendy’s attention to detail is at a standard that exceeds that exhibited by the majority of agents that I observe. I have no hesitation in offering myself as a referee on Wendy’s behalf to any client who is fortunate enough to have the opportunity to engage Wendy’s services.”
