About Our Group
Wendy Hulkowich, REALTOR, CDPE, ABR, SRES, Group Lead Agent: Wendy is originally from
Maryland. Raised in the DC area, the daughter of an independent insurance and real estate broker, Wendy graduated early from high school and began her business career in the insurance industry as an administrative manager. She also worked in the medical field managing physicians’ offices, doing physical therapy, and performing as a urologist’s office assistant. Wendy’s entrepreneurial spirit surfaced early in her life with the start of her own company managing the electronic filing of insurance claims for physicians. During these positions Wendy found time to raise 2 children, coach AYSO soccer, and contribute back to her community.
Wendy’s experience with real estate began in being exposed to her father’s real estate brokerage business in
Florida. Then, through a series of corporate moves, Wendy learned firsthand the buying and selling of homes under corporate relocation benefits plans, having moved 3 times using these programs. Her real estate career began in
Dallas in 2002 with Ebby Halliday, Realtors®, and in her first year of real estate sales and consulting, she closed 51 transactions for a total volume of $10 million. Her business has grown an average of 40% per year between 2003 - 2006, and she is now a top producer heading a Group with RE/MAX® DFW Associates, scoring consistently in the top groups of the company.
She is professionally coached by the largest real estate and lending coaching company in the
