When it comes to buying or selling a home, standing out is the key to success. Finding a professional who can think outside the box while remaining dedicated to your best interests is important during this life-changing process. That’s where I am honored to be able to help!

My name is Wendy Anderson, Realtor and Broker/Owner of NextHome Next Stepp. Throughout my life, I have made it my mission to serve my community. From volunteering at school events and PTO for 15 years to volunteering with No Pawz Left Behind for nearly a decade, I have a sincere passion to give back. Now, I am thrilled to be able to do that for my valued clients.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, an investor looking for the perfect project, want to relocate in the area, or hope to sell for top dollar, I am here to help. While others are following old trends, I am consistently pushing the envelope to get results. Inventive marketing techniques and stand-out negotiation skills are just a few of the benefits I have to offer.

When I’m not busy showing homes or guiding clients, I love spending time with my family. You can also find me unwinding with some HGTV or YouTube videos while enjoying any flavor of lemonade or milk chocolate (preferable with peanut butter in it). If you’re a fan of Disney, we will have plenty to talk about!

Real estate is more than just a job for me. It allows me to help others reach their dreams with confidence and ease, and there is nothing more rewarding than that feeling. When you’re ready to get started buying or selling your home with a professional who cares, feel free to reach out so that we can get started!

Karen Langford recommends Wendy Anderson

I don’t even know where to begin singing Wendy’s praises. When looking for a realtor, her name sort of fell into our lap. Since we live in another state, we had to trust that she would do us right. And right she did! She did a phenomenal job from beginning to end. Because of a family tragedy, we were put in a very difficult position, but Wendy was there to help us through it all.

I’d never sold a house before, so I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. Wendy was very patient guiding me through every detail and answered all my questions, especially with signing all the forms. I was on a huge learning curve figuring all this out and she was a great help. She even listened as I spoke through my tears on the occasions I couldn’t hold them back. Her compassion and understanding made a world of difference.

The house sold very quickly and she handled all the details since we do live in another state, but she kept us updated every step of the way.

I would highly recommend Wendy as a realtor. She won’t let you down, and I know she will work as hard for you as she did for us. Thank you, Wendy! I don’t know what we would have done without you!

Wendy is truly one of the most amazing people I’ve had the pleasure to work with, both as a former colleague and now a repeat client. She always puts the needs of her clients first, bringing life to the phrase “humans over houses.” There is no one I trust more in this industry when either buying or selling a house, which I have done a lot of over the years! I would highly recommend Wendy or any of the NextHome Next Stepp staff to anyone in the market to buy or sell a house.

Roger Edward Kondrup recommends Wendy Anderson

Due to some medical issues, Wendy has patiently served us for a year and a half. She has always been courteous and patient, and finally found the home that we needed at a price we could afford. Over this time, we have come to think of her more as a friend than an agent.

Eric Krantz recommends Wendy Anderson

Two words. Responsive and diligent. I live and work outside of Ohio and rely on referrals exclusively. Wendy was referred to me by a 40 year veteran of Ashland and Richland county real estate. Wendy’s high level communications skills and responsiveness to prospective clients captured all the details my team required and she further painted a clear picture of each transaction so we had zero questions and zero issues - all handled or addressed in advance. Call her today.

Daniel Williams recommends Wendy Anderson

Wendy is an exceptionally helpful realtor who goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that her clients are able to find the house that they're looking for.

When my wife and I were preparing for a move from out of state and were looking for a house in Ashland, Wendy not only connected us with the right house for our family but also gave us names of local contractors, checked on the work that service technicians were performing on the house in our absence, and continued to provide us updates through every step of the process. She was a strong advocate for our needs and demonstrated a very detailed knowledge of houses and the local housing market. She answers texts, emails, and voicemail messages within minutes. We found her to be extraordinarily helpful.

I would strongly recommend Wendy as a realtor. She greatly exceeded our expectations, and I'm very glad that we selected her as our real estate agent.

Judith Ingraham recommends Wendy Anderson

It is my great good fortune to have sold my home through Wendy. She is a master realtor. Every detail, every step of the way, was handled with skill and knowledge. She gave me wonderful support and marketed my house so skillfully that it sold significantly over asking. The entire experience was so amazing. I can't say enough!

Laura Kime recommends Wendy Anderson

Our family worked with Wendy on the sale of our in-law's home. She was forthright and honest through the entire process, helping us know what changes would be advantageous for the quick sale, as well as highest selling price, of the home. Recommendations also came with a list of contacts to complete the work. Her knowledge and expertise in the field of real estate was evident and her ability to work with the family on a personal level did not go unnoticed. I would highly recommend Wendy. She was aware of and on top of each step of the process, including following up with the buyer's agent to be sure we met our timeline goals of closing at the end of June. Wendy was a real blessing to our family in a difficult time. And for that, we thank her and are pleased to encourage others to use her services.

Wendy was very helpful in helping us find the house that fit our budget and needs. It only took a couple of weeks to find our house and as soon we made an offer she kept us updated all of the time. Wendy kept the buying process moving along and as stress free on us as possible.

Kim Swanstrom recommends Wendy Anderson

I’ve bought and sold many houses and certainly have high expectations in hiring an agent. Wendy not only met, but exceeded those expectations in every way. Her communication sets the bar for what every realtor should strive for. She was punctual, responsive, and it was apparent that “quality over quantity” is what she strives for. Our house was in contract in less than a week with 3 offers over asking price, eventually closing at $13,000 over asking price. I was also given access to a box truck for my move for free! As an overall company, I truly feel like NextHome is setting the bar in customer service, marketing, and technology. The quality of the photos was unlike anything I’ve seen on the market. Everything about their marketing was high quality, cutting edge, and utilizing multimedia outlets. I would HIGHLY recommend Wendy Anderson to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Simply the best… we had a pretty unique situation and Wendy not only found us our dream home on her first recommendation but also got us closed no matter what tried to get in her way!

Sue Claypool recommends Wendy Anderson

Wendy did an amazing job of marketing and selling my condo for me. I believe that her outstanding photography in preparing my on line video home tours was a major factor in the successful sale of my home in 3 days. Wendy's professionalism and marketing skills are exceptional. The entire staff was friendly and helpful during my selling process.

I am buying a home for the first time in 27 years. Pretty much a rookie. Clueless. Wendy was AMAZING. Calm to my crazy. She had an answer for all of my questions.

A friend introduced us to Wendy to list our house and right away you could tell that she was very personable and organized. Within days of listing our house , we accepted an offer and Wendy was on top of everything even when she was out of town. She was always quick to respond back to our calls and texts and kept us informed on what was happening the whole time till it was sold. If you want someone who is passionate about what they do and is thorough, then you want Wendy!!

We never thought we would be able to purchase a home in this tight market but
Wendy made it happen. She listened to our concerns and worked hard to find us
homes with the amenities that were important to us while at the same time opening our minds to possibilities we wouldn't have otherwise considered. Her meticulous attention to detail is highly impressive, as are her sharp negotiation skills. I cannot recommend Wendy enough for any of your real estate needs.

Wendy Anderson is a superior real estate agent. She came so highly recommended to me and it took me all of 3 seconds to figure out why. Professional, driven, completely motivated, and genuinely cares about her clients. She is absolutely phenomenal. I was a first time home buyer and needed so much extra help - Wendy was there 24/7 (no joke) to help me through the entire process. She made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. Wendy, from my family to yours… we thank you sincerely for your time and extreme effort. Thanks to you….We have the home of our dreams! I would give her 30 stars if I could. She earned every single one.

Gary & Cheryl Hildebrand recommends Wendy Anderson

Wendy Anderson is a dedicated realtor with a great combination of personal traits and skills. From Day 1, she not only gave us encouragement and very helpful advice but also immediately began gathering information and strategies to expedite the sale of our property. Throughout the 49 days from our first phone call through the closing, she was on top of things and usually several steps ahead for what we’d need next. We definitely recommend working with Wendy - she gets two “5’s” from us!

David W Fox recommends Wendy Anderson

Wendy gave us great advice on the preparation of our property for sale. She is very knowledgeable, reliable, and professional. She estimated that our house would be in contract in one week and we had three offers 7 days later. She was very responsive and kept us informed as to showings daily. I would highly recommend Wendy.

Jerry W Howe & Weili Chen recommends Wendy Anderson

Wendy did an awesome job helping my wife and I purchase property in Ashland. She painstakingly explained the whole buying process to me and was patient while I translated what she was saying to my wife. If you don't have a good agent like Wendy, the buying process is very scary. Wendy made the whole process easy to understand. If you are looking for an awesome agent who follows up on returning phone calls or emails, Wendy is the agent for you. Top notch seller and a credit to her profession.

Wendy is a great realtor to work with. Very responsive and very good about keeping everything on track to meet our closing deadline.

Wendy is dedicated, kind, and understanding all while having a no nonsense personality. She found us the perfect house for us in the middle of one of the worst housing markets that we have had in awhile. She went to bat for us when we didn't for ourselves and answered every single question I had almost immediately. She's definitely our realtor for life.

Dylan Counts recommends Wendy Anderson

I’m 19 and I thought I would take on the task of buying my first house. Before she even showed me the first house, Wendy took the time to get to know me, what I was looking for, and what the non-negotiable features in a house for me. A home theater was a MUST! Anytime something that she thought I would be interested in came on the market she would send me a text, and sometimes we would look at a house within a few hours of it even hitting the market. She walked me through the steps and made what could’ve been a nightmare-ish process - fun! I always looked forward to talking to Wendy about the process and learning what the next steps were. I never felt like I was in the dark, I always knew what was going on and what was next. I truly didn’t think I’d be able to find what I wanted in my price range. Wendy helped me find my dream home and more. I would recommend Wendy to anyone looking to buy a home, she makes the process fun, easy, and enjoyable. (or at least as enjoyable and easy as buying a house can be!)
