Designations
REALTORS attaining the President Sales Club award are among an elite group within the Ohio real estate profession. Realtors awarded are among the top 10% of Ohio's real estate professionals.
A Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is a REALTOR® who has completed advanced professional training and demonstrated outstanding professional achievement in residential real estate. CRS agents are among the top 3 percent of all real estate agents in the U.S. They have more experience, education and training than the average REALTOR® and are members of a community of agents dedicated to improving the real estate industry for homebuyers and sellers everywhere.
To become a CRS, REALTORS® must meet a number of stringent requirements that combine advanced hours of education and training, experience and demonstrated success in the marketplace. A CRS REALTOR® can make the difference between a positive, successful home buying or selling experience and one that is fraught with problems.
Certified Residential Specialists:
- have proven experience through logged transactions
- advanced training above and beyond what is required of typical agents
- continuously improve their skills and stay ahead of market conditions, trends and new regulatory developments
- have focused expertise on home buying and selling
- offer a national network of support
- adhere to an ethics code required by the National Association of REALTORS®
- are leaders in their communities
Buying a home is no small matter. Besides being the largest financial transaction you may ever undertake, it’s probably also the most complex. There are many good reasons to work with a qualified real estate professional—especially a trained professional who has earned the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation, representing best-in-class buyer services.
When you look for an ABR® before you look for a home, you’ll be served, not sold. Your interests become their interests. And you’ll be working with someone who has gone the extra mile by completing specialized training in delivering the best in buyer-representation services. Plus, a REALTOR® who has an ABR® designation also has an established track record, with proven experience in representing the concerns of homebuyers.
The ABR® designation is awarded through the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council, or REBAC, which was founded in 1988 to promote superior buyer-representation skills and services. REBAC is an affiliate of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).

We have worked with several agents over the years, and it's no exaggeration to say that Wendy is the best in the business here in Northeast Ohio.
And that level of excellence goes beyond Wendy herself, her entire team is top notch, and provided us excellent service and support throughout the process. They were at the top of their game, in the midst of a very challenging real estate market.
I would highly recommend Wendy Kunash & Associates to friends, family, and anyone who needs a real estate team who can really hit it out of the park. Thank you Wendy!

2nd house we have bought using Wendy as our realtor.....both experiences have been outstanding. Takes a personal interest in her clients and provides any and all assistance as needed. Answers questions in a timely manner. Very personable! Highly recommend using her services. Just sold our previous house using Wendy's services. A tough sale as it involved a complicated septic issue. Wendy navigated the many challenges involved, negotiated acceptable resolutions. Great job from her and her assistant, Tara, who filled in the blanks.

Wendy and her assistant Tara are the most amazing team to help you in your buying and/or selling journey. We worked with them to sell two homes and purchase our new home. We could not have been more pleased with every aspect of our experience. Professional, thoughtful and extremely kind, Wendy makes the journey positive for all involved. Her patience and willingness to help her clients understand each home in review, the process in the transactions and her strategic approach to achieving desired outcomes for her clients is a true asset. Thanks to Wendy and Tara, we have found our forever home! We hope to work with her to find our future vacation property some day. We cannot speak more highly of the amazing Wendy Kunash!!

Wendy Kunash is a seasoned professional who demonstrates true customer care and compassion that other agents should want to emulate. The situation could not have been any more undesirable. We were selling the house because we were separating during the covid 19 pandemic. Wendy and Tara were very helpful in the effort to guide us through this difficult time.

Wendy started out by giving us strong suggestions on how to prepare our home for sale. When we where ready to move forward, Wendy had several agents in the loop and we showed our house seven or eight times in 48 hours. Five offers where made and we choose the best out of them. We where a little unprepared for all the hopes you need to jump through after accepting an offer. Wendy came and sat with us during our sewer and dye test. Wendy sells a lot of houses for a reason. Her and Tara are very good at what they do!

She is the best agent I've ever known and had the pleasure to work with!!!

I only worked with Wendy for a few days, as she found the perfect house for me quickly. I then had the pleasure of working with her assistant Tara Augusta for the remainder of the transaction. Tara handled the rest of the sale of the house efficiently and thoroughly. She kept me in the loop of how things were going or what she needed from me. I would highly recommend Wendy Kunash and her team Thank You, Cynthia Rosa

WOW, there's so much to say about Wendy, I'm not sure where to start! She's grown up in the Lake Co region and has extensive knowledge of the local area as well as the craftsmanship of the homes in different cities, time periods (early 1900's, 1950's, 70's, etc) and what that means to the seller/buyer of a home. She has the knowledge to guide you on the demographics of a development community that suits your lifestyle to the amenities of the overall municipality. Wendy will impress you over any other agent with her true business ethics of real estate and educate her client on a step-by-step basis to ease your fear about one of the most intimate purchases of your life. She will excel above and beyond her call of duty and always respond in a timely manner! Listen to her about recommended price listings and purchase offers, because she is spot - on and you will feel 100% comfort and trust in her. I cannot impress upon you enough, that she is a realist in true form and an incredible agent that all should aspire to be. You'll be in excellent, capable and diligent hands with Wendy. You will not be disappointed!

My family and I were relocating from Virginia Beach, and by a huge stroke of good luck, found Wendy as our agent. As my husband was already in Ohio and I was still at the beach, Wendy had more patience and understanding than any person I know. She was readily available for my husband to look at properties, always gave her honest opinion, and went above and beyond to keep me in the loop in the whole process. Not one time did I call Wendy and she did not have time for me or my million questions. Not only is Wendy a GREAT agent, she is a GREAT person who really cares about her clients. I guarantee that Wendy will make your home buying or selling process a good one, with nothing but honesty and integrity all the way through!

Wendy is a class act. She helped me and my brother through everything with the selling of our parents house. She was always keeping us update to date on the day to day showings. You won't find a better caring and helpful person/realtor. I would recommend Wendy to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. She makes the whole process less stressful.

We met Wendy when we were viewing open houses 3 years ago. When we ran into her a second time at another open house, she immediately remembered us and dubbed us the "open house bandits!" She never pressured us into using her as our buying representative but simply said to give her a call when we were ready. She even sat down with us to answer all the questions a first time home buyer would have. A year later she helped us buy our first home. It was a short-sale, which means it was a lengthy process but Wendy's ability to communicate with the listing agent, to make sure progress was happening, and with us via email and phone calls was excellent! I would highly recommend her to help you find that right home for you!

She is sincere and genuinely cares for my needs and my overall happiness in my decisions. A woman I can trust.

As someone who regularly does consumer lending (I work for the largest bank in Ohio), I work with a lot of realtors and know a thing or two about the industry. You will not find a better realtor than Wendy Kunash. My wife and I purchased in the fall of '16, and we are so thankful that we had Wendy there to help us navigate the process. My wife, who is a very challenging person to work with on things of this scope, was easily handled by Wendy's knowledge and finesse. Wendy was able to walk her through the entire process. Wendy made it easy for her, and was able to earn her trust (which is no easy task). She was willing to travel some distance to show us homes in the area that we were looking in, and she did a ton of research for us to ensure that we hit on all the critical items we were looking for. When our appraisal came in low, she worked to negotiate the deal with the sellers. Even when the deal seemed absolutely dead, she some how managed to resurrect it for us and get it done. We are eternally grateful to Wendy for getting us into our home. You won't find a better realtor out there.

Wendy Kunash is phenomenal! She was always there when I needed her, even for moral support! I have used her in the past and continue to recommend her to everyone! I had no idea what I was doing throughout this process but I always felt confident everything would work out because I had her on my side!

Wendy was a delight. She is down to earth - she kept things real. She was able to sell condo that I never thought would sell!!!! It was a small, inexpensive property, but that didn't matter to her...making sure I was able to get a fair deal was her concern. She's one of those genuinely nice, good people that the world needs more of.
