“We closed yesterday on my investment property at 844 Partridge, Menlo Park. From the point that I contacted Wendi, even before we met, she immediately presented me with a proposal including a marketing program, schedule and budget to sell my property. It was that response that most impressed me. I interviewed five agents, two from Coldwell Banker Realty and three from other brokerages. No one came across quite like Wendi. Being involved in several major real estate transactions over my career, and most recently six personal residential transactions over the last 27 months, I found Wendi and Cesar to be at the top of my list professionally. From the very beginning they hit the ground running with market analysis, staging the property, producing the collateral, placing ads and showing the property. Never in my experience have I had such a continued effort in getting the job done right up to the all-cash, no-contingency, twoweek close offer and conclusion. As in every transaction, there were challenges and in this case we had a last-minute funding shortage from the foreign buyer not providing his closing expenses, which could have delayed recording. Wendi handled this situation with the buyer’s agent and didn’t miss a beat nor delay the closing by having the agent and his brokerage cover the shortage so we could close on time before the weekend as planned. The Menlo Park market is certainly changing, challenging and competitive. I can honestly say there is no other agent I would want on my side other than Wendi for lot reasons too extensive to list. From six transactions I had with personal residential properties in different markets, Coldwell Banker Realty handled three of them. Coldwell Banker Realty far out-performed others managing transactions bringing valuable conclusion – Wendi had a very big part.”

“We recently bought a home in Redwood City and had the wonderful pleasure of working with a consultant from your office, Wendi Selig Aimonetti. She was an absolute joy to work with in obtaining our new home. We talked with different agents who covered Northern California, and Wendi was the only person who took the time to understand not only our current needs in a home, but what our future requirements might be as well. Loan pre-approval status or the amount we were looking to spend were not the first things she discussed with us as other agents had attempted to do. She built a level of trust and confidence, which allowed us to consult with her before we made any decision within our home-buying process. Wendi displayed tremendous patience and sensitivity with us as buyers when we appeared to dislike every home we viewed for weeks at a time. She always made us feel as though we were a priority client to her, no matter what day of the week or what time of day we spoke to her. As thorough as we believed we were in the process, Wendi was always able to provide us with additional information, which could have been overlooked. Wendi possesses a key attribute that is the root of every successful transaction – she does what she says she is going to do when she says she’s going to do it. In a market that is slanted toward the home seller, it was refreshing to work with a true real estate consultant who was focused on our needs as the buyer. If we are ever in the home-buying market again or if we meet anyone who is, Wendi Selig Aimonetti will be our only recommendation.”

“We can’t thank you enough for your incredible work. We cannot imagine making this transition without you. How thankful we are to have you as a friend, member of our church family and by our side as the incredible, professional that you are – totally invaluable. Your commitment to excellence and professionalism is impeccable, but most valued is your integrity, kindness and commitment through the whole process of updating, staging and managing the piles of paperwork and necessary steps to sell our home and make this transition possible for our family. You have blessed us. Our thanks to you and your team. Stay true to who you are. You shine and truly make a difference, Wendi.”

“Wendi earned my confidence, respect and loyalty long before she became my actual listing agent. 13 years ago, I lived in Seattle. A local real estate agent said Wendi was the #1 real estate agent in South Palo Alto. It didn’t take long for me to discover why. After my parents moved into a nearby retirement community in 2011, I reached out to Wendi to discuss selling my parents’ long-time Eichler in Walnut Grove. Well, until my dad decided he didn’t want to sell or even rent it. Walking from the retirement community and caring for the empty house and yard daily gave him a sense of purpose for three years. Throughout, Wendi kept in touch, never pushing to sell, ever empathetic. After my parents’ dementia required that they move to an assisted living community, Dad forgot about the house. Rather than sell, I decided to rent first. Wendi introduced me to a reputable property manager and worked with her – as I was still living in Seattle – to solicit bids and have new carpeting installed, the interior and exterior walls freshly painted and the driveway sealed. After renting the house for nearly eight years, I – now living in Washington, DC – finally decided to sell and once again reached out to Wendi. By now, the house had serious issues. We discussed what changes we would need to make before listing it. Wendi promptly recruited one of her ace general contractors. I appreciated how she not only supported me but seemed to adopt my values and aesthetic, which honored my father’s allegiance to the architectural integrity of the house and my mother’s Japandi aesthetic. I said I would come camp out in the house to answer any aesthetic questions until everyone was on the same page. The morning after I flew into San Jose, Wendi picked me up. We made the rounds, searching for the right wide-plank flooring, carpeting, tile, faucets, showers, bathroom vanity, paint colors, kitchen appliances, etc. Wendi was open to me being involved in even the smallest decisions but would have been just as confident making those decisions herself. She also gave me the breathing room to go down rabbit holes, e.g., should we try to preserve Eichler’s original cork tile flooring. Even when it turned out to be a dead end, it was important to me to honor a decision that my parents would have agonized over – and it felt like it was important to Wendi too. I was grateful that Wendi (like her mother before her) has earned a glowing reputation in a highly competitive industry, which increases the visibility and credibility of her listings. And she’s cost-conscious and resourceful while committed to quality and deadlines. And she was ever responsive, ensuring that my vision was understood by everyone on the team and ultimately realized. And she seems to genuinely love what she does, which made the entire process even more enjoyable for me. Wendi is a gem.”
