Agent's personal statement

I bring an intuitive gift to my professional calling. Along with my dedicated service, unflagging energy and great sense of humor, my famous "sixth sense" has made me consistently one of The Corcoran Group's top producers for over twenty years. Working alongside my daughter, Jamie, whom I’ve been training since she was in the first grade at Spence, I’m frequently "Broker of the Year," "Salesperson of the Month," and a continuous member of The Corcoran Group's "President’s Council." I’m an accomplished student of feng shui, and know what to look for and how to improve the quality of life in the city.

I'm different because I really do care about finding the perfect place for my customers. I like the process to be enjoyable and I am very discreet. Others may be better at interpreting floor plans and doing the math, but I'm psychic. When the apartment is right, I get chills. Sometimes it will pop out of the computer -- or I'll have a dream about it. I also intrinsically know the wrong apartments. I'm the only broker in town who will suggest a feng shui person or a smudger.

Buyers who work with me can expect to see fewer apartments than they otherwise might, but each one will be appropriate for their situation and lifestyle. One satisfied customer raved, "I looked at 165 apartments before I met Wendy. She was the only one who really listened to me. Then she found me my home on the first time out." Sellers, too, can count on my intuitive ability to match properties and buyers. I enjoy an exceptionally high ratio of clients-to-sales and when I take on an exclusive property, I sell it.

Many people who meet me think I look familiar and it’s probably because they’ve seen me on television. I have appeared in numerous commercials, have lent my real estate experience to the media world and am one of the most talked about brokers in the press. I’m often quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Forbes.com and CNNMoney.com. You may also have seen me discussing the latest real estate trends on NBC, ABC or Fox News.

I’m a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and a Summa Cum Laude graduate of the New York University School of Journalism, where I was a member of the National Honor Society.

As a recognized leader in the community, I know the importance of giving back to the community. This year, I was honored by Boys of Town New York for my tenacious spirit and inspiration as a role model to the young women in the programs of Boys Town, which provide help to at-risk teens.

“She's fabulous. Dynamic and personable.”

My experience working with Wendy could not have been better. She is dynamic, personable and full of energy. She has a great outlook on life and we really enjoyed our time together. If you're looking for a dynamic agent who is full of energy and always smiling, Wendy is the right agent for you. By the end of the process of selling my home we had become friends. I absolutely would recommend Wendy to someone considering buying or selling real estate in Manhattan. She's fabulous.

“I have bought three and sold two apartments with Wendy. Superior agent.”

My association with Wendy has been the most pleasant experience that I have had with any realtor. I have a real estate license so I have quite a bit of experience with realtors and, by far, Wendy is the most professional. The amount of personal attention and attention to detail that Wendy provides is unmatched. Wendy really gets to know her clients and is truly interested in her clients. She focuses on understanding your wants and needs, and she keeps contact with you so know how the process is going. When we were buying a home, she facilitated the co-op board package and was very helpful in the co-op interview process. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market, and her direction as to where to buy and what types of buildings were the best for us was beyond expectation. In terms of the selling side, she is creative. Her marketing skills are unbelievable, so much so that my home was featured in real estate television show. I have purchased three apartments and sold two with Wendy. She is a superior real estate agent. I now consider Wendy a friend and I have recommended her many times.

“Knows the market like the back of her hand.”

Wendy is the most knowledgeable real estate agent we've ever worked with. She knows the Manhattan real estate market like the back of her hand. Within the neighborhood in which we were looking, she knew about every building, the differences between the buildings and which buildings would be the best fit for our needs. Wendy is incredible and I absolutely would recommend.

“Extremely responsive. Understood our needs.”

Wendy was extremely responsive to our needs. As the process moved forward, she learned about what we wanted and didn't want; what we liked and didn't like. As Wendy became more and more familiar with us and what we wanted, she tried very hard, and was largely successful, at anticipating the type of apartment and pricing (on the sell side) which we were looking for. The more we worked together, the better she became. Wendy understood our needs because she is a great listener. She was truly interested in learning about what we were interested in. What impressed me most about Wendy was that she understand that it wasn't her purchase or sale -- it was ours. She didn't show us homes that were a waste of our time. I would definitely recommend her.

“Understood what I was looking, my likes and dislikes.”

Wendy is a true professional. She immediately made me feel comfortable which is unusual when you're looking to buy a home. I felt very confident working with Wendy. She understood exactly what I wanted in a home and the things that were important to me. Sometimes real estate agents show what they want you to see but not what suits you. Working with Wendy, that was never the case. We are thinking about selling our place now, and if we choose to do so, we will use Wendy as our agent.

“Worked with Wendy 4 times in 6 years.”

I have worked with Wendy Sarasohn numerous times and my experience with her has been consistently excellent. As the senior partner of a law firm with a very active real estate practice, I have worked with many brokers in New York City. Wendy has a unique ability to present a property aggressively but honestly, highlighting its best features. She has an uncanny ability to match the right buyers to the available properties and spends the necessary time with prospective purchasers to help them identify their ideal location and the characteristics of their “perfect” home. She is extremely hands-on and she has a highly trained and very capable staff supporting her. I have so much respect for her work that I have personally used her services four times in the past six years. I don’t believe that there is an agent in Manhattan who has a better grasp of the market than Wendy. I should also mention that clients of my firm who have engaged Wendy as their broker often mention to me that they have been thrilled with her attention to their specific requirements and her unfailing commitment to find them the right deal. If someone asks me for a recommendation I can confidently recommend Wendy.

“Uncanny ability to understand your needs.”

Barton H.

Wendy has the uncanny ability to understand people and apply that understanding to real estate. Many agents can show you apartments, but Wendy will find you your home. That's a really important distinction. Other agents with whom I worked paid lip service to what I was looking for, but they never made the effort to truly understand my needs. On the other hand, Wendy listens extremely well. She asked me personal, but appropriate, questions such as "why have you decided that the Upper East Side is where you want to live?" and "what do you think the Upper East Side is?" which not only helped her understand exactly what I was looking for, but also helped me to focus my needs. I saw three apartments with Wendy and purchased the third. In my experience, that is unheard of. That's Wendy Sarasohn. She asked, listened, analyzed and narrowed my search and, ultimately, found me my home. Wendy is also an amazing resource: both my real estate attorney and mortgage broker came to me through Wendy. I absolutely and unabashedly would recommend Wendy. Wendy was not the only agent I started the buying process with. She was, however, the agent whom I ended with. That really tells the story.

“Joy to work with. Truly fabulous agent.”

Wendy is a joy to be with. We had so much fun with her throughout the entire process. My husband and I had worked with several other real estate agents and looked to buy an apartment for four years. Wendy found our new home in only a few months because, unlike the others agents, she was able to sift through apartments she knew would not suit us. Wendy understood exactly what we were looking for and amazed us with an “old gem” on Fifth Avenue – something we had never considered! I'm a pretty tough judge of character and critic, but I have nothing negative to say about Wendy: she is truly fabulous. We were thrilled to work with her.

“Honest agent. Encourages you to evaluate your options.”

John S.

Posted March 30, 2009. Verified March 30, 2009.

I find Wendy to be very honest and straight-forward. Never in the process of buying our home did we feel that Wendy was pushing, or rushing us to make a deal. Instead, she had great perspective on the situation. She wanted us to evaluate all of our options and carefully think through our decision. If someone was considering using Wendy as their agent, I would tell them that Wendy is someone who brings a great degree of balance, humor and perspective to a situation. She is also extremely collaborative. I have already referred three friends to Wendy, two of whom closed transactions.

“Professional, responsive and knowledgeable.”

I found Wendy to be professional, responsive and knowledgeable of the New York marketplace. Wendy is very loyal and dedicated to getting the job done. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in buying or selling in Manhattan.
