Recently we bought a house which was a short sale. Everyone told us to get ready for a nightmare, however, these doubters did not know that we had an extraordinary Realtor named Wendy Cutrufelli. Short sales often take five to nine months to complete but Wendy worked on this every day overcoming numerous problems. Wendy’s approach to detail made the deal close in less than two months.
Wendy is detail oriented and will never give up. She tells you like it is…no sugar coating, just the facts and she is very professional. She is there to guide you throughout the process with informed knowledge of the real estate market. She was always responsive to any and all questions we had, never making us feel ignorant. When we had a concern, she was there.
Purchasing this home would not have been possible without Wendy’s help. We are indebted to her for her honest, knowledgeable and compassionate manner by which she handled the entire purchasing process. Thanks to her professionalism, we have the house we were searching for the last two years. [Read our commitment to buyers]

Wendy truly puts the full in full service -
It was my lucky day when Wendy Cutrufelli became my full-service real estate broker because Wendy truly puts the full in full service!
From the beginning, Wendy was respectful of my budget, optimistic in her approach and consistently hard-working in the house hunt. Additionally, I soon discovered that her deep knowledge and previous experience as a loan officer made the complicated financing of a 203k (rehabilitation) loan seem easy and the bureaucratic process of qualifying for an energy rebate became a reality.
Thanks to Wendy Cutrufelli, the construction work to remodel the home went smoothly and resulted in an exciting upgrade that I can afford! Wendy participated and supported me every step of the way – house-hunting, financing and remodeling….what a full service Realtor! [Read our commitment to buyers]

Utmost professionalism and attention to detail -
Your work ethic, professionalism, and TRUE commitment to excellence are remarkable and refreshing. Potential clients should know that you are not only honest and direct, but these qualities are matched with amazing knowledge and skill in real estate transactions. You worked with me for over eight months to help me find and purchase my first home. Your willingness to educate me about real estate transactions, the market, and the laws governing them took a lot of patience and knowledge. In the end I found a great home, you brokered a fantastic deal, and everything went as planned and worked out perfectly because of your commitment to excellence.
I want to thank you in particular for bringing to my attention the energy-efficient financing options. I have since learned that many realtors ignore these options because they are more work. Your efforts (which were extensive) allowed me to upgrade my windows, doors, and insulation as part of my mortgage. Because of your extra efforts, I will be saving money and doing better by the environment for many years to come, thank you.
The purchase of my first home has been a very pleasurable experience, largely due to your efforts, your nature, and your commitment. I am really very happy in my new home, thanks a million. It has been wonderful to work with a professional who does the job right because it is in your nature to do so, anything else is just not considered. I am thankful that you are that kind of person and professional. I slept peacefully throughout this process because you were working on my behalf. I knew beyond any doubt that my dealings were being handled with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. You are definitely a First-Round pick. Thanks Wendy!

A result of your hard work, negotiating skills and marketing materials -
Cricket and I just wanted to thank you for doing such a wonderful job selling our home. We must say it was the most professional job done by a Realtor as we’ve ever seen. We were prepared the entire process and you were able to predict every step of the way.
Wendy, we were pleased that you got top of the market value for our home which was a result of your hard work, network of clients in the Bay area, negotiating skills and marketing materials. You are definitely the cream of the crop and we are thankful we met you. We know that nobody could have done better – especially in a down market (You crushed the comps in our neighborhood).

If potential clients pass on you, we believe it will be one of the biggest mistakes ever when buying or selling a home. We plan on using you for all of our future purchases and sales in the area.

Sold my home above the listed price -
Saying thank you is hardly enough. You not only sold my home above the listed price [Inserted note: list price was 20% higher than the highest priced comparable homes sold within 12 months] but you also referred me to another Realtor who effectively helped me find my new home out of state. I greatly appreciate all of your time in reviewing the tremendous amount of papers in the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home. You have gone above and beyond your call of duty. Anyone who lists with you can be assured they’re in great hands from beginning to end. Thank you so much Wendy for all you have done!

Tireless efforts -
Wendy, you are the greatest. Marcie and I are so thankful for all of your hard work. Your tireless efforts and kind words during a tough time made our lives a lot easier. I would be happy to recommend you to any of my family or friends buying or selling a house. Thank you again for everything.
Dan and Marcie Colbath
Will go above and beyond -
I still cannot believe how fortunate I was to have Wendy represent me in finding my home. On top of Wendy being so incredibly nice and very comfortable to work with, she is extremely knowledgeable, very professional and quite savvy about every aspect of buying a home from beginning to the end of escrow. From the moment we met, I knew Wendy was someone I could wholeheartedly trust which is obviously very important when making such a huge investment. Wendy was very forthcoming by making it clear that if she felt I would be making a big mistake, she was going to do her best to convince me to walk away as she actually cared about my well-being, not just making a sale. It is clear that Wendy truly loves what she is doing and will go above and beyond to find you the perfect home. I highly recommend Wendy to my family and closest friends. She is truly the best.

Exceptional in how you approach the selling responsibility -
“It is rare to receive a letter from a client praising an agent to the extent as your client, Dottie McElhiney did. Many sellers who receive exceptional service just accept it as part of what they pay for. Obviously you are exceptional in how you approach the selling responsibility. We are so proud of your being on our team at Alain Pinel Realtors. Thank you for your professionalism, outstanding example to others in our company and your continual high level of services performed for your clients.”

I’m still in awe that this could happen…
[Exerpt from a four page Testimonial. Full Testimonial available]
Wendy Cutrufelli is within the circle of Realtors whose knowledge and professionalism follow the highest standards. We began working together to sell our house in February. It was like a ray of sunshine when Wendy met with us at our home, introducing us to your forward looking approach at Alain Pinel to represent us in screening potential buyers to find our best choice and putting together the right sales contract.
I was upset that when I first put the house up for sale with another Realtor, it received such a low sales offer and appraisal. Our first Realtor advised us that we’d never get a higher offer. Despite this, we asked almost as much the second time we listed the home for sale and got our price. [read our strategy to consistently get the highest possible price for our sellers....] Wendy has learned so many of the financial realities of loan structure, ever changing realty markets and strategies of finding buyers. As we sat around the table together, she began teaching us, taking the time to let us absorb this complex material, presenting it in clear and concise language. As a true teacher, she was attentive to answering specific questions as they arose.
I admire her vision and her methods of reaching beyond Realtors in our local market area. When a substantial offer came in, Wendy did so well to maintain the necessary balance and setting boundaries with both the buyer and their Realtor. We were consistent in meeting deadlines and continuing to maintain the boundaries set earlier to protect us from unfair demands that might put us on rocky reefs.
Wendy prepared a written set of documents supporting our high sales price and appraisal request. The appraiser appraised the house at the amount we were asking in the sale. I am still in awe that this could happen after the initial low appraisal. The timing of our sale’s closing date, within the groove of two overlapping tax credits, positioned us very well. Such great timing must be rare and I give full credit to Wendy’s stick-with-it attitude.

Knowledge she backs up with energy, enthusiasm and hard work…..
“What changed everything for me and my wife was a call with Wendy Cutrufelli. Never in my 12 years in finance have I worked with a Realtor so knowledgeable about her business…a knowledge she backs up with energy, enthusiasm and hard work. Wendy’s hard work gave us the opportunity for a fresh start and we are forever grateful. My wife and I recommend Wendy Cutrufelli whole heartedly to anyone who wants to sell their home.”
Luke and Beverly Currier
Thank you is hardly enough -
“Where do I begin??? Thank you is hardly enough. You have looked out for me every step of the way. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty. You were able to effectively find the target price that brought in not one offer but two. How I wish I had not wasted valuable time listing my house initially with someone else. I will forever regret that, it cost me significant time and money.” [read our strategy to consistently get the highest possible price for our sellers....]

Has her clients best interests at heart -
“Wendy is an amazing Realtor who truly has her clients best interests at heart. Very strong negotiator, completely organized and detail-oriented. She strives to exceed expectations and she does! I would refer anyone to her without hesitation. The icing on the cake is she’s fun to work with too!”
Sue Smart
We could not have done it without her -
“We hired Wendy to help us buy our first home. Wendy was a pleasure to work with. She was knowledgeable about the local market, always provided sage advice (without ever being pushy), and she was always prepared and on time. She was patient and willing to spend time with us to teach us about the market and battle through multiple offers (a surprise in the 2010 real estate market).
Having a mortgage finance background, she was very good at making sure the financing was done right and was ready on time to close the deal. After 8 months of looking and 4 multiple offer situations, we found our dream home. I can honestly say we could not have done it without her and her tireless work.”
Martin and Jenelyn Wyspianski
Never pressured us -
“Wendy was referred to us by a mutual friend. We needed data in order to make a decision about our home. We knew going in that more than likely this would not result in an immediate listing. Wendy came through with information and never pressured us. She has a dynamic personality that would be an asset to any client that works with her.”
Iris Alfonso-Giebus
You feel a little smile inside when you’re around her -
“I admire Wendy’s boundless energy, positive attitude and keen creativity. She works tirelessly on her clients’ behalf and when met with obstacles, she sees the positive path over, under or around the obstacle. She sees solutions that never dawn on others. Wendy has an undying commitment to doing what is best for her clients first, foremost and always. And aside from her exceptional professional attributes, Wendy is such and enjoyable person to be around. She exudes such a positive energy that you can’t help but feel a little smile inside when you’re around her. In my opinion, there is nothing better than someone who is absolutely the best at what they do and enjoys what they do with every fiber of their being.”
