Prior to joining Red Door Properties, Wendy worked as a Real Estate Development Manager for the Trammell Crow Company in Denver where her primary responsibility was the financing, design, tenant coordination and construction management of the Denver Health Pavilion M facility on the Denver Health campus. In addition, Wendy leveraged her LEED Accredited Professional status to manage the build-out of the LEED Gold 1900 Sixteenth Street commercial office tower near Union Station.
Between college and business school, Wendy spent six years working at priceline.com. As Director of Operations, she learned an appreciation for customer service and was responsible for the training, performance and morale of the customer service team as well as the overall service level and contact quality of all issues coming into the priceline.com customer service department. Wendy believes in the quote, “If we don’t take care of our customers, someone else will” and works each day with that lesson in mind.
When Wendy’s not working in the Red Door office, Wendy enjoys mountain-biking, skiing (as long as it’s not too cold) and golf. She also enjoys watching the Denver Broncos even when they disappoint!

Twitter "Leigh Wilbanks and Wendy Hession are the smartest, most professional, most service-oriented real estate brokers I have ever come across. Their work is superior in every way. From the MBA-style pricing analysis, to home staging, contract management, and exquisite client service; Leigh and Wendy are the best in the business."
"I tend to research everything. When I decided to sell my home, I turned to the
Internet to find a good real estate agent. Not wanting to get lost in a bureaucracy, I was
looking for a small company that gave personal care. Red Door Properties stood out as a
winner. Leigh and Wendy sold my house and also held my hand through the process of
building a new home. I cannot say enough good things about this duo. They are both not
only very smart, but meticulously conscientious and very gracious individuals. They
ALWAYS did exactly what they promised and did it well. When I decided to sell my
house and buy a new one, I already had in place a very busy travel schedule. Wendy and
Leigh worked around that, still managing to get my house on the market very quickly.
When an appropriate offer did come through, I was in Europe. We were able to handle
everything via email, Skype, and digital signatures. Red Door Properties has very good
resources. They arranged for the preparation of my house for sale, including painting,
repairing, inspecting, and staging. They also had an excellent photographer and
incorporated great marketing skills. All these resources made the process of selling as
painless as possible. Wendy and Leigh far exceeded my expectations in the purchase of
my new home. I had never before had a house built, so had little confidence. I didn’t
even know what questions to ask. Red Door negotiated some upfront financial
arrangements that were very helpful. Either Wendy or Leigh also attended all meetings
with me, including signing of documents and choosing options. (There were over 500
options with the home I chose, so it was overwhelming.) I was purchasing this house by
myself, so I really appreciated another eye. Leigh and Wendy also negotiated with my
builder to move up the closing date of my new home to coordinate with the closing of
the house I was selling. By doing so, I was able to avoid the expense of moving my
belongings in and out of a storage facility. Early in the process of selling and buying, I
realized I could completely trust the judgment of Leigh and Wendy in all respects.
Feeling such confidence in them was like having a huge weight lifted from my shoulders.
Looking back over the entire process, I have no regrets about giving them that trust.
They were super in every respect. I would readily recommend Red Door Properties to
anyone who is buying or selling a house. These two ladies are not only great
businesswomen, but also very good people."
"We were referred to Red Door through a friend that had recently
worked with Leigh and Wendy. Our experience with them was exceptional. They are
incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate in Denver. They thoroughly answered all
of our questions and LISTENED to our thoughts, feedback, and priorities throughout the
process. They were not only responsive to us but also proactive as we searched for
homes. Leigh and Wendy were able to make house hunting fun despite the really
difficult market in Denver. Just a few days before we left for a trip to Vietnam, our offer
was accepted on our dream home. Leigh and Wendy were able to help us get our
inspections scheduled on extremely short notice before we left town. They were with us
for the entire inspection and helped us understand the ins and outs of every step of this
process as well. Once we arrived to Vietnam, Leigh and Wendy continued to help us
navigate the negotiations process. They were available to us despite the 14 hour time
difference. When the furnace went out at the home, they spoke to the owner’s realtor
and had it fixed before we even knew about it. While this part of the process was
stressful, especially being across the world, we could not have been in better hands. We
trusted Leigh and Wendy 100% and they were phenomenal. We ended up getting the
home and have LOVED it. We have and will continue to recommend Red Door to
everyone we know."
