"I consider this a great opportunity to get to know the community and build a nice business, " commented Wendi Roudybush. Roudybush has recently joined Natalie Roles at Country Home Real Estate in Rye.

But she is no rookie to the real estate business. Roudybush has been licensed since 1990 in Tuscon, Arizona and has worked a number of places in the Arizona and Colorado markets. In addition to Tuscon the Associate Broker has worked in Prescott and Phoenix, Arizona and now in the Colorado City- Rye area.

She has also done a great deal of public speaking and wrote a weekly real estate column for the 'Prescott Daily Courier' for three years.

When she isn't working in real estate she spends time with several passions. She is active in "Guide Dogs for the Blind" both as a raiser and a member of the speaker's bureau; she volunteers for Pueblo Animal Services; and has been a Big Sister and a Board Member in Yavapai County Arizona.

Roudybush and husband Jim, moved to Rye to help her widowed mother, Ramona Kamp, manage her rental property. It was while she was looking at a property that Roles had listed that their was a connection.

"I went home and told my husband," recollected Roles, "that I would like to hire Wendi. He thought it was a good idea and that was that."

Roles, a Employing Broker, needed help at her agency as she and her husband Jim Lepley(?) prepare to open the Rye Cafe, formerly known as the Rye Rendevous. "Wendi and my new assistant, Brianna Thompson, make it possible for me to do everything necessary to get the cafe going."

Roudybush and her husband, have two grown adult children. Mark, age 31, lives in Pueblo and Amy, age 23, is enrolled in nursing school in Prescott. Husband Jim is retired after working for the Orange County (Ca) Sheriff's Department as an air conditioning mechanic. He also owned a group of car washes and rental property.

Roudhbush described how she and her husband of two years met. "I was a mortgage broker and a client called and said they were sending someone named Jim Roudybush to see me. I asked them to spell the name but when I met him he was adorable, single, and had great credit! What more could a mortgage broker want!"

"I love the size of the office and get excited about the fact we are the only real estate agency in Rye! That's cool."

Wendi can be reached at the real estate office at 2113 Main, Rye, or call her at (719)489-2930 or (928)713-3644.
