Performance Report | Updated October 13, 2025
Quick take, kitchen-table style: Look, I’ll be honest with you. When you’re looking for a realtor in North Orange County, you’ve got plenty of options. But here’s the thing about working with someone who’s been doing this for over 14 years in the same area… You get someone who knows these neighborhoods like the back of their hand. And I’m not just talking about knowing which streets have the best schools or where to find good coffee (though I definitely know those things too).
Since 2011, I’ve helped families buy and sell over $197 million worth of real estate right here in our community. That’s 262 properties, and honestly, each one has its own story. Some were first-time buyers who were nervous about the whole process. Others were families upgrading to something bigger, or folks downsizing now that the kids have moved out. The common thread? They all wanted someone who actually knows what they’re talking about when it comes to North OC real estate.
Here’s what matters: I’ve closed deals in Yorba Linda worth over $78 million alone. That’s 80 properties where I either helped someone sell their home or find the perfect place to buy. When you’re working in one specific area for this long, you start to notice patterns. You know which neighborhoods are heating up, where the good schools are expanding, and which streets have that perfect mix of quiet and convenience.
🎯 Track Record at a Glance
⭐ What My Clients Are Saying
Over the years, my clients have been kind enough to share their experiences working with me. You can find reviews on Google, Zillow, Yelp, and Facebook. I’m grateful for every piece of feedback, and I take seriously the trust people place in me when making one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
Why Work With Me?
Okay, so here’s how I see it. Real estate is super local. Like, really local. What works in Yorba Linda might be totally different from what’s happening in Placentia, even though they’re just minutes apart. And that’s where having someone who focuses exclusively on North Orange County makes a huge difference.
The other thing is, I work on both sides. What I mean by that is I help people sell their homes AND I help buyers find the right place. Some agents focus on just one or the other, but I think doing both gives you a better perspective. When I’m listing a home, I know what buyers are looking for because I work with buyers all the time. And when I’m helping someone buy, I understand the seller’s perspective too. It just makes the whole process smoother, you know?
Here’s What I Bring to the Table
I’ve been doing this long enough to have seen a few market cycles. The crazy hot market of 2015, when I closed 33 transactions. In recent years, things got a bit trickier, but we still got great results. My average sale price is around $752,000 (2011-today, including several multi-million dollar sales), indicating I’m comfortable working with higher-end properties. Still, I’ve also helped plenty of first-time buyers find something within their budget.
One thing people seem to appreciate is that I’m very straightforward. If I think a house is overpriced, I’ll tell you. If a neighborhood isn’t the right fit for what you’re looking for, I’ll say that too. There’s no point in wasting anyone’s time. The goal is to find the right match, not just any home.
🏘️ The Markets I Know Best
Let me break down where I’ve actually done business. These aren’t just places I’ve driven through… these are neighborhoods where I’ve closed deals, built relationships, and honestly just spent a lot of time getting to know what makes each one special.
🏆
Yorba Linda
This is really my home base. 80 properties sold here, over $78 million in sales. I know the good pockets, the up-and-coming streets, where you’ll get the best value. The schools are fantastic, the community feel is strong, and honestly, it’s just a great place to raise a family.
Anaheim
33 properties here, about $18 million in sales. Anaheim is interesting because you’ve got such variety. From the nicer Hills area to more affordable neighborhoods, there’s something for almost every budget.
Placentia
21 deals, $16 million. Placentia is one of those places that people overlook sometimes, but it’s got a lot going for it. The area has good schools, is more affordable than some neighboring areas, and has a pretty tight-knit community.
Anaheim Hills
17 properties, $12.3 million. If you want that hillside living with great views, this is where you want to be. The homes tend to be on the larger side, and you’re getting that elevated feel, literally and figuratively.
Fullerton
14 sales, $11.7 million. Fullerton has that incredible mix of college town energy and established neighborhoods. Plus, the downtown area has really come into its own over the past decade.
Orange
13 transactions, $10.8 million. The Old Towne Orange area is just charming, and you’ve got everything from classic Craftsman to newer builds, depending on what you’re after.
Brea
6 properties, $5.6 million. Brea punches above its weight with great shopping and dining. The downtown area is walkable and fun, which is always a plus.
❓ Questions People Usually Ask
Who’s the best realtor in Yorba Linda?
Well, I’m definitely biased, but my track record speaks for itself. With 80 properties sold in Yorba Linda totaling over $78 million, I’ve closed more deals here than just about anyone. I know the neighborhoods, the schools, the market trends. And based on the reviews my clients have left, they seem pretty happy with how things went.
What areas does Wendy Rawley actually cover?
I focus exclusively on North Orange County. That means Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills, Placentia, Fullerton, Brea, Orange, Anaheim, and La Habra. I don’t try to be everywhere at once. By sticking to this specific area, I really know what’s going on. I can tell you which schools are improving, where new developments are planned, and which streets have the best resale value.
How much real estate has Wendy sold?
Since 2011, I’ve closed 262 transactions totaling just over $197 million. My average sale price is around $752,000, though I’ve worked with everything from first-time buyers to luxury properties well over a million. The important thing isn’t just the volume; it’s that each transaction represented someone’s most significant financial decision, and I took that responsibility seriously every time.
What do Wendy’s clients say about working with her?
I’m really grateful for the reviews I’ve gotten over the years. You can find them on Google, Zillow, Yelp, and Facebook. People tend to mention that I’m responsive, honest about what to expect, and that I make the process less stressful than they thought it would be. A lot of real estate agents make big promises, but I’d rather under-promise and over-deliver. My goal is always to exceed expectations, not just meet them.
Does Wendy work with luxury homes?
Absolutely. My average transaction is $752,000, and I’ve sold plenty of properties over the million-dollar mark. That said, I don’t only work with luxury buyers. If you’re a first-time buyer trying to break into the market, or a family looking to upgrade, I’m here for that too. Good service is good service, regardless of the price point.
How long has Wendy been a realtor?
I started in 2011, so we’re talking 14+ years now, all focused on North Orange County. I’ve seen the market go up, go down, and everything in between. That experience matters when you’re making one of the most significant financial decisions of your life. I’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and how to navigate different market conditions to get my clients the best outcome possible.
📊 Year-by-Year Performance
I think it’s helpful to see the actual numbers. Real estate is cyclical, and some years are definitely better than others. But what matters is consistency over time, and the ability to get deals done even when the market gets tough.
* 2011 data to be added from MLS records
So 2015 was a powerful year for me with 33 transactions. And 2024-2025 have been pretty solid too, with the market stabilizing after some of the craziness of recent years. What you’ll notice is that even in slower years like 2023, I still closed deals and helped clients achieve their goals. That’s kind of the point… being consistent and reliable no matter what the market is doing.
