About Wendy Mattox
I am a proud member of the RE/MAX Cobblestone team. Our area leader in listings and sales for the past 12 years.
One thing I learned in my 15 years as a manager at the Disney World Resorts was that it is not about making a sale… It’s about making a CUSTOMER. But making a customer at Disney was all about creating a fantasy. Real Estate on the other hand is all about REALITY! The decisions you make about home ownership can be life altering not only for your financial situation but also for you and your family’s happiness, comfort, and security. Therefore you need to be well informed!
I bought my first home when I was 18 years old and I have been buying and selling homes ever since. Sometimes I won and sometimes I lost but with each transaction I learned some valuable lessons. I can relate to how stressful buying or selling a home can be but hope my experiences can make YOUR process a little easier. The key to a successful outcome is your selection of a real estate professional. When I received my license in real estate I was fortunate and was given the opportunity to work with the best agents in our area.
My degree in Computer Science prepared me to keep up with available resources. I have recently received ePro Certification. This program focused on using the various internet technologies, i.e. Social Media, Mobile Office, and Online Marketing. In a market where 90% of Buyers start their search online, understanding the online world is key to today’s the real estate marketplace.
Although I loved spreading the pixie-dust at Disney, in 2004 I decided ”there’s no place like home”. The central Florida area was simply not the best area to raise my daughter. My roots in the this area are very deep – my family has been here for 5 generations I was raised in the Waycross area and graduated from Ware County High. The return to this area was probably the best decision I ever made. My wonderful husband, Sands Mattox and daughter, Sami have given me support and patience as I traveled the roads in and around Waycross, Blackshear, Alma, and Brantley County in a search to match the right home with right person. Seeing the excitement in a new homeowner as they find the home of their dreams is the real reward in this profession. Now that’s the real pixie-dust!
In my first year in real estate I was one of a select few agents to receive the 2013 Circle of Excellence award for Sales. I closed 31 transactions in 2013. I found that hard work does pay off and have been successful in a hard market. As the market has improved, my 2nd year has been even better than the first closing 50 transactions for 2014. I am not a 9 to 5 Realtor, I work weekends, to accommodate that people need to be able to schedule their home search on a schedule that is convenient to them.
