Wanda did a great job for us. From the instant I called, she was courteous, communicative and always upbeat and much to our delight the “Sold” sign was up less than a week after the “For Sale” sign was put up. She and her team made everything so easy.
I can’t thank Wanda Westover enough for helping guide the sale of our house these last few weeks. In no way can I recommend listing your house overlapping with a death anniversary overlapping with back to school. But I 100% would recommend Wanda, particularly if, like me, the sale of your home feels not simply like a contract for an asset, but the loss of a box of memories, the letting go of a container for dreaming. Wanda’s assessment of value was incredibly accurate, ensuring that there were many showings, immediate offers. She stood firm in her experience, even when that meant communicating financial realities I struggled to adjust to. She was also very understanding about the emotional layers of this for me, and quickly stepped into holding space for my sometimes volatile trauma reactions, triggered by the loss of privacy and pushing at agency that the real estate process can encompass. I am more persuaded by a rightness of feeling than dollars. It mattered to me who stepped into the story of this old house, who wrote its next chapter. One of the things that trauma survivors need over and over again is our experience validated. It is a hugely freeing thing for someone like Wanda to say “It’s ok. It’s ok to feel this way” instead of anything that hinted at treating the house as a living, knowing entity was being a bit “waves hands” artsy woo woo impractical. It’s a strange recommendation for a realtor, but what I most liked about Wanda is that she doesn’t seem like one…and I can only imagine she must be the loveliest, most supportive, of mothers. She’s straightforward but not strait laced, genuine, whip smart and kind. Thanks also to Patti Waterfield for forseeing how hard this would be for me and recommending Wanda.
Wanda is amazing to work with. She gave us some Reno ideas to help sell our rental property. Our place sold way faster than we expected. We are very happy with the expertise Wanda shared.
