Meet Wilmington NC REALTOR®

Wendy Ross

I’m proud to have more than 30 years of experience guiding clients to make confident real estate decisions. Over the years, I’ve worked with both residential and commercial buyers and sellers, and spent much of my career in the public sector supporting community and economic development projects. My Master’s Degree in Public Administration prepared me to be a strategic negotiator and community advocate.

After many years of visiting and spending time in Wilmington, I knew that I wanted to make it my forever home.

Since moving here, I’ve appreciated getting involved with the community and helping clients find their ideal property—from historic downtown districts to tranquil coastal neighborhoods. Over the years I have enjoyed the privilege of assisting seniors and their families through important life transitions. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist, I understand the emotional and logistical challenges of downsizing, relocating, or moving into assisted living. Having personally cared for my own parents, I bring empathy, patience, and professionalism to each step of the process.

When I’m not selling real estate, I am paddleboarding around the area or hiking and exploring up in the mountains with my dog, Mica. I’m a proud mom to two daughters—my oldest is completing her Studio Arts degree at UNCW and my youngest is pursuing a business degree in college with plans to work in the travel industry.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a longtime residence, or investing in a new opportunity, I’m here to guide you through the process with clarity, care, and experience you can trust.

Wendy keeps us updated during our close process and is always on top of it to ensure deadlines are met. Even after closing on our home she continues to respond to us timely with any additional questions or concerns that come up."

Nancy & Peter Her

"Wendy was very hands on when I needed help with the overall details of selling my home. She never failed to be there for me with any questions that I had. Her knowledge of the present real estate market was certainly the key to the sale. The house actually sold the first day on the market. Then she patiently guided me through the paperwork involved. Wendy is a star. She is everything anyone would want as an agent."

Jenn Karrick

"Wendy Ross is very personable, friendly, kind, experienced, knowledgeable, hands on agent. She has integrity, is upfront and provides guidance and support throughout the selling process. She's quick to respond to my text/emails and was literally with me every step of the way. The first day we met, I was packing, she rolled up her sleeves and said "ok, what can I help you with." Wendy helped me pack up boxes, load items and so much more. Wendy facilitated the house cleaners, photographer and a nice web page! She even secured a sale 2 days before the first open house! I appreciate the honest and generous person she is and that is part of what makes her a great agent. So grateful to have found her, I'm certain you will be too!"

Ruby Tanti

"Wendy Ross is an extremely knowledgeable, hard-working realtor that consistently puts her clients first. She has amazing insight and knowledge and her work product attests to that."
