I was introduced to Hatteras Island at a young age, spending a lot of time here with family during different seasons over the years. It was always our dream to call this beautiful place home, and in 1999, we made it a reality - leaving Northern Virginia behind for good.

After graduating from Cape Hatteras Secondary School and earning my Associate in Arts degree from the College of the Albemarle, I spent several years traveling in pursuit of my passions: surfing, kiteboarding, and yoga. Those experiences were unforgettable, but nothing ever quite compared to the sense of belonging I feel here on Hatteras Island. 

Today, my husband and I are raising our two daughters in the heart of Buxton. I'm a proud member of the Buxton Civic Association, serve on the Fessenden Center Advisory Board, and am a board member of the Hatteras Island Cancer Foundation. I'm deeply community-minded and love giving back to the island that shaped who I am. 

I thrive in a fast-paced environment and love the energy and variety real estate brings - but I also know how to slow down and savor the simple things, like a quiet beach day with my family or catching waves at sunrise. Whether you're dreaming of calling Hatteras Island home, creating a getaway, or exploring investment opportunities, I look forward to helping you every step of the way.

Client Testimonial

"10 out of 10 service, I can't even describe how pleased I am with all the amazing work Wendi did. As a first-time buyer, things can seem a little overwhelming sometimes, but Mrs. Wendi made sure to explain everything to me, taking the time to make sure I understand each process which made the whole process go a lot smoother than I thought it was going to be. Mrs. Wendi is a great agent. I highly recommend her."  -Steffany Reyes, Buyer

"From jump - Wendi was responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed touring properties with Wendi and benefited from her experience being a long-term resident of Hatteras Island. As we purchased land and are only at the beginning of our OBX journey, she continues to be an advisor, advocate and friend."- Glen and Cindy Zeigler, Buyer

"Wendi was outstanding in helping us purchase a second home in Avon, NC. She was highly attentive from the time we first met her at the initial showing until closing and afterwards. Wendi's in-depth knowledge of the local area, the real estate business, and her vast contacts helped make out purchase a pleasant and easy experience. Highly recommend." -Andrew Tessman & Martie Attwood

"As life happens and sometimes future plans fall through, you have to make decisions. I found myself in this situation, needing to sell property. There is no other company I trust other than NC 12...Wendi was quick to find us a buyer and even quicker to find a new on when the first fell through...within days! I can't thank them enough, constant contact and follow through!" - Jessica Kelmer, Lighthouse Service Center
