John Wendt III, managing broker at Coldwell Banker Mason Morse Real Estate in Carbondale, was named Colorado Realtor of the Year by the Colorado Association of Realtors at its 100th annual convention in Colorado Springs.
Wendt was president of CAR in 1993. He introduced CAR’s member benefit program, the “Legal Hotline,” which allows members to get legal information to ensure that home buyers and sellers are getting accurate information and fair treatment. Wendt served on Colorado’s Real Estate Commission from 2018-2021 and he also founded the Colorado Real Estate Network, a southwest-region Multiple Listing Service that began in Grand Junction, Delta, Montrose, Pagosa and Durango. He also served on the Glenwood Springs Association of Realtors Board of Directors as chair in 2009 and 2012.
“I’m not aware of a commissioner that has had as extensive real estate experience as John,” said Marcia Water, division director of the Colorado Real Estate Commission, Department of Regulatory Agencies. “Not only is he a wealth of information about the mountain market, but he provided us with valuable insight regarding the affordable housing issues that Colorado is facing across the state.”
