Wendy Forshaw

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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 .

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 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 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.
