During the pandemic my husband and I were able to enjoy more time at home and finally had the opportunity to re-evaluate our goals. We decided to make our dream of owning a vacation home in Siesta Key come true. It was time for these Canadians to find a place in the sun! While inquiring about a property online we had the good fortune to connect with realtor Wendy Egan. My husband and I were so impressed by her demeanor, intelligence and attentiveness to our needs. Wendy was there for us every step of the way, from virtual tours of the property to placing the offer and advising us in a competitive market. Wendy connected with all parties and ensured all closing details were on schedule. She was our person on the ground when we couldn’t be there such as during the property inspection and even arranged house cleaning services before our arrival.

Anything we asked for, big or small Wendy made happen! Wendy was always available and dedicated to us. We were fortunate to have found such an extraordinary realtor!
My husband and I decided to “follow our dream” and relocate to the Sunshine State of Florida. After researching the various part of Florida, we decided that the Sarasota area was the best match for us with all of its cultural opportunities, diversity, gorgeous beaches, and housing options. We were uncertain about what type of living we desired or what type of community we would like to be a part of. Over the years we have worked with numerous realtors but found Wendy Egan to be at the very top of our list. Her delightful personality, work ethic, obvious intelligence, as noted through her MBA accomplishment and fluency in the Spanish language, was so impressive. She spent numerous hours taking us to various communities to preview single-family homes as well as high-rise condos. She was always readily available to answer questions no matter what time of day.

Over the years we have worked with numerous realtors but found Wendy Egan to be at the very top of our list. Her delightful personality, work ethic, obvious intelligence, as noted through her MBA accomplishment and fluency in the Spanish language, was so impressive. She spent numerous hours taking us to various communities to preview single-family homes as well as high-rise condos. She was always readily available to answer questions no matter what time of day. After deciding to make an offer she became a great negotiator getting us a more than satisfactory price. When we entered into a contract we needed a fair amount of “hand-holding” to help us understand the jargon and the Florida Law. She did an incredible job making us feel confident in our understanding of every line. We absolutely love our new home and thank her for guiding us to this purchase.
Wendy was a true professional during our home buying process calmly balancing our many needs and wants in a rapidly moving housing market. We were quite particular about our new home search, and Wendy was able to adhere to our strict criteria while moving quickly when applicable properties came to market. Wendy never tried to point us in another direction, or suggest that we consider concessions to our search, due to the low inventory housing market. Rather, she was uber-proactive staying on top of new supply, asking around, speaking with homeowners and other agents, and staying vigilant on what homes were potentially coming to market. Because of this, we were able to purchase a home that I am extremely confident we would have missed if we had a realtor who was not as aggressive, organized, and disciplined. Also of note, my personality and approach towards investing and home purchasing …
Wendy was a true professional during our home buying process calmly balancing our many needs and wants in a rapidly moving housing market. We were quite particular about our new home search, and Wendy was able to adhere to our strict criteria while moving quickly when applicable properties came to market. Wendy never tried to point us in another direction, or suggest that we consider concessions to our search, due to the low inventory housing market. Rather, she was uber-proactive staying on top of new supply, asking around, speaking with homeowners and other agents, and staying vigilant on what homes were potentially coming to market. Because of this, we were able to purchase a home that I am extremely confident we would have missed if we had a realtor who was not as aggressive, organized, and disciplined. Also of note, my personality and approach towards investing and home purchasing has always been tilted towards negotiation and patience – which would have prevented us from finding our home in this case. Rather, with Wendy offering comparative market analysis and her insight in general, we made a full-price offer on the same day we saw the property. This decision has already proved to be the right one as we found the home of our dreams and it has already significantly increased in value in less than a year. Wendy was also very helpful with the process of quarterbacking the inspection, appraisal, paperwork, closing documents, and everything else that goes along with a new home purchase. She did not miss a beat, nor did even the smallest of things fall through the cracks. There was not one minute I worried about the home purchase and closing process once the initial offer was accepted by the sellers. We chose Wendy to help us purchase our home because of her unique background versus other agents who had more of a sales background. We were very impressed by her pedigree and successful career in banking, marketing, and media we found on her website. This gave us the comfort we could rely on her to understand financial matters, gracefully represent our purchase demands to sellers, understand relevant drivers in a luxury vacation market and bring a high level of integrity to our search. Finally, I would note on a personal level Wendy is a wonderful person, intelligent, friendly and just a pleasure to have worked with during our search!
Wendy is a delight to work with. She understands her clients needs and exceeds their expectations over and over again. I have known and worked with Wendy Egan in numerous capacities within the news business, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. She understands the business well, and knows everyone in it - from producers to anchors to bookers. She is a professional who does what it takes to get the job done and makes it a point to exceed expectations.
Wendy is a skilled, imaginative producer who can be reliably assigned to any topic, especially business-related, but whose particular forte is high-end, lifestyle-oriented features. She is a solid, mature writer who requires very little editing. Wendy is also a stylish, sophisticated on-air correspondent, a role she filled admirably on CNBC's High Net Worth, a program I hosted for three years.
In my experience, it is rare to find media relations people like Wendy, who have an excellent grasp of both PR strategy and the topics we tended to write about. My group focuses on everything "money, investing and Wall Street" at Forbes and Wendy acted as a great strategic counsel, navigating the publicity landscape deftly. Best of all she was always pleasant to deal with and accommodating.
Wendy is an absolute rock star when it comes to media relations! She has fantastic relationships with the top producers at CNBC, MSNBC, Fox Business, CBS This Morning, and many others. She thinks strategically and like a journalist when she crafts pitches and when she approaches opportunities. She’s always up-to-date on the latest news, and she’s results-oriented.
Wendy’s market knowledge, integrity, resourcefulness, and personalized approach makes it easy for buyers and sellers to accomplish their real estate goals in Sarasota.
