Hi! I’m Wendy Russell

I’m an independent property buyer’s agent, and expert investor who is almost three decades into a thriving career in property. I built a multimillion dollar property portfolio from scratch and I’m passionate about teaching others how they can make smarter decisions when it comes to property. Outside of buying real estate, I love to write — and one of my favourite places is to be here, sharing everything I know about property with you. I’m glad you stopped by!

Read up on my story.
