What People Are Saying

  • Anna of Littleton, CO

    ​“We’ve enjoyed working with Wendy for years, for both real estate and design services. She’s now helping us with our second home, guiding us through the renovation, design and styling from start to finish, after transforming and ultimately selling our first home off-market. Wendy has an incredible gift for seeing the end result long before we can, and we trust her instincts implicitly. We love working with Wendy and count on her to make our house a home.”

  • AL of DENVER

    “As a General Contractor, I have had the pleasure of working with Wendy, and I can confidently say that her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail make her an excellent designer to work with. From a contractor's perspective, a good designer is not only someone who creates a beautiful design but also someone who understands the construction process, communicates effectively, and works collaboratively with the entire project team. Wendy brings all of these qualities to the table. Her ability to understand the client's vision while also considering the practical aspects of construction helps create a smoother and more successful project. She is professional, responsive, organized, and dedicated to delivering a high-quality result. I would highly recommend Wendy to any client looking for a talented and professional designer. I look forward to continuing to work with her on future projects.”

  • Susan of Centennial, CO

    “Working with Wendy was an incredible experience that far exceeded my expectations. She helped me define my vision and pushed me creatively to make my home truly unique. Even during the early build phase, she was already masterfully planning the final furnished look. Her dual expertise in design and construction made communicating with my contractors seamless. Wendy was my calm during the chaotic remodeling process—my house wouldn’t be what it is today without her. I can't wait to work with her again!”

  • KAREN of GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO

    “If you could find a highly skilled interior designer/stylist and an excellent record-setting hard-working realtor and combine them into one person, you’d have Wendy Crist. Choosing Wendy to represent us in the sale of our home was hands down the best decision we could have made.”

  • KIM & STEVE of PARKER, CO

    “Calm demeanor, big visions and professionalism made the process an actual delight!”

  • SUMMER of CENTENNIAL, CO
