Agent Details

Meet Wende

Broker Associate, Luxury League

As a Broker Associate and top producer with over 20 years of experience in Austin residential real estate, Wende Parks is supremely qualified to guide homeowners in successful transactions – but what clients appreciate most is her hustle, honesty and professionalism. Approaching each project as if it were her own, Wende is tenacious in exploring possibilities and optimizing outcomes; she takes the time to understand her clients’ objectives so she can find the perfect solution. A trusted advisor for both buyers and sellers, she has built her business exclusively on referrals from satisfied clients and repeat customers and can tap a vast network, uncovering under-the-radar opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

WORLD TRAVELS LED BACK TO AUSTIN

A fifth-generation Texan, Wende graduated from the University of Texas in Austin but spent college summers based in Germany and working abroad. Her first career was as an international model featured in German Marie Claire and Vogue among other publications, allowing her to travel and explore new cultures for over 20 years. These experiences gave her a worldly perspective, but also a deep appreciation for the friendliness and creativity of her college town and the Lonestar State. Drawn back to build a life here in Austin, Wende decided to pursue a career in real estate to help others create roots in this city she loves.

ADVANCED EXPERTISE WITH RESPECTED BACKING

She quickly became a trusted partner to her clients and continued to pursue her education, advancing from real estate Agent to Broker Associate to expand the knowledge and expertise she brings to each opportunity. Joining Moreland Properties in 2008, she enjoys the backing of one of the most well-respected firms in Austin as well as the global reach of Forbes International Real Estate membership. A Bouldin Creek resident since 2003, Wende is a Central Austin expert including the famous Keep Austin Weird zip code of 78704, plus Downtown, Clarksville, Pemberton, Tarrytown and Westlake. Her extensive network also allows her to serve her clients anywhere in the Austin Metro area, from the Highland Lakes to Hill Country ranches. In fact, she has the honor of making the highest-dollar public sale on Lake Travis in 2023. And in addition to expertise in single-family transactions, Wende has also guided several condo projects from conception to closing.

GIVING IT HER ALL

When not giving it her all for her clients you can find Wende giving it her all in any outdoors activity. After running the Boston and New York marathons she soon escalated to a full Ironman and is currently tackling ultramarathons and other high endurance adventure sports, recently conquering the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim, a 100-mile run across the Philippines and a 50-miler through the mountains in Patagonia (twice!). She also spends her time playing with her rescue dog Lalo on the Hike and Bike Trail, trying out new restaurants around town and planning her next far-flung expedition with her significant other, a military veteran. Wende embodies Austin; savvy, adventurous and spirited mixed with the down-to-earth charm that reflects the city we love.

We opted to use Wende Parks to sell our home because of her charm, personality and enthusiasm. She knows the Austin market and encouraged us to list the home for a bit more than we expected. The home sold in less than a week and could not have been a smoother process. The buyers loved her as well. Representing us as buyers, it was no time at all before Wende knew our taste and interests. It seemed like every home she found for us was dead on target for our style. If you’re looking for an agent to find you a home, Wende won’t waste your time trying to sell you anything and everything. I love that about her. Her organization and attention to detail could not be better. She’s our Austin agent from here forward.

I can’t begin to express how grateful I am and I’m sure I speak for Camela as well, for having met you! I can’t imagine a better ambassador to this wonderful city and people, than you have been for me. Your professionalism has been awesome, but your personal attention to detail has been over the top. You have made the difficult job of finding a new home a blast! Thanks for being patient with us, and for taking your time in selecting and viewing houses. I think our new house is awesome.

I have had the privilege of having two real estate transactions with Wende Parks and I have to say that I could not have asked for a more professional experience. No matter if you are single or have a family, her knowledge of the Central Austin area is as if she has lived here her whole life. Being in the real estate business myself I knew exactly what I was looking for and after just one visit we were both on the same page. Her ability to foresee up and coming neighborhoods and hidden potential is something that not everyone possesses. Whether it is her information she provides electronically or her knowledge of all the unique and established areas of Austin, you will not be disappointed.

We were so lucky to have found Wende as we prepared for a cross-country move. Her knowledge and expertise were invaluable as we learned about the Austin area. Wende was focused on making sure the house we chose worked for every member of our family and helped eliminate houses along the way that weren't a good fit. Most importantly, Wende was a master negotiator and drove the process from offer to inspection to closing with ease. She expertly managed all parties involved and kept our best interests at heart. In addition, she has created a vendor network of high quality, fairly priced service providers that has helped expedite getting our house move in ready. Wende is truly the best in Austin.

Wende was an absolutely superb trusted advisor through every step of the process. Recommended timing of listing, price of listing, staging of property, etc. were on the mark with corresponding results. While we were expecting to wait several months before a sale given what was assessed as a relatively slow one-bedroom condo market downtown - specifically in our condo building, we had inquiries and several showings within a few days and a competitive offer within a week! Wende is incredibly patient, exudes positivity and a warm sense of humor, and was always available - even during the hectic holidays - to handle issues or questions which alleviated stress and facilitated planning and decision making throughout the entire process. We are so very grateful to both Wende and Moreland Properties for making what could have been a long, drawn out frustrating process a pleasurable one.

Wende was great. She always found the time to work around our crazy schedules to show us the properties we wanted to see ASAP. Her years of experience were extremely valuable as she was always willing to give honest immediate feedback about her concerns for a property OR areas where she saw opportunity for improvements. Wende was also amazing when it came to guiding us through the entire process from start to finish. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and uncertainty about the process. Wende alleviated all of our concerns and held our hands through all of it. I would highly recommend Wende Parks to anyone in the Austin area market. We couldn't be happier.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Wende. We clicked from our initial conversation, and while I still felt I should, and did, interview several agents, I knew she was who I wanted to work with. She listened to my preferences, guided me on the process, and never ceased to amaze me with her hustle. The first time I thought a home was cute, she was over there in a flash taking me through it on FaceTime. Her knowledge and generosity with it doesn’t end at the property. She shared with me her contacts for my every need. I can’t wait until someone I know is looking for a home so that I can recommend them to her.

Wende is absolutely amazing. We tried a few agents prior to her, and she was by far the best. It wasn't even close. She's exceptionally kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and experienced. She always had our best interests in mind, and we couldn't be happier with the home that she helped us purchase. She knew so much more than the other side of our deal - it made us feel very comfortable and confident about the entire situation. She made a potentially overwhelming situation feel like well, home. Thanks so much for everything!

Wende was exceptional throughout the entire home buying process. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market, thorough, responsive, diligent, and personable. The one time she was unavailable she connected me with another high-quality Moreland team member who graciously agreed to show me additional properties. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Wende and the entire Moreland team.

Wende did a very excellent and professional job in preparing the house, marketing material, visual walk-thru and presentation. She was diligent in follow up with potential buyers but not overly aggressive given potential buyers space for decision making. Thank you for a wonderful job!

Wende is not only one of the most knowledgeable real estate professionals i've ever met, she's one of the most effective professionals i've ever met in any field. Her knowledge, hustle, and grit mean i know that i am represented as well as i possibly could be in any transaction. One of the things i love about working with Wende is that she takes something that can be very intimidating and stressful and makes it plain, straightforward, and fun. She sweats all of the details so that you don't need to, and with the team at Moreland behind her, she's always got a solution to whatever issues pop up in your real estate transaction. Another one of her strengths is that she is a great listener. She wants to know what your priorities are so that she can tailor solutions specifically for you. The peace of mind having Wende on the job buys me is priceless. I can't imagine buying or selling a house without her.
