Abby was our realtor when we sold our mothers house after she passed away. She was very helpful in helping us distribute her furniture and belongings. She also set up repairs and met the repairmen at the house. It was very helpful since no one was living there at that time. Abby helped us with useful information and steered us through the process with professionalism and knowledge. She was also very responsive anytime I asked her a question. I would recommend her to anyone wishing to buy or sell real estate.
Our home was listed because of a divorce, and I cant imagine a better realtor to help navigate us through that. Abby was kind, patient, discreet, non-judgmental - not to mention all the other things you need from a realtor to get your home sold quickly at the best price possible. She truly earned her commission. Selling your home is highly personal, and many real estate transactions can and do have unique problems. Abby has been doing this long enough that she could navigate through everything that came up (and a lot came up). I cant recommend her strongly enough! Shes a true professional.
Like most people, I have several friends and acquaintances with a real estate license, so I thought long and hard about who to choose when I decided to sell the house I?d lived in for the last 15 years. I?m very thankful I chose Abby. I was coordinating a buy and a sell, and neither transaction was simple. Abby had the expertise, market awareness, dedication and calm temperament I needed to get through it. I never felt like I was on my own. Abby was there for me at all times, and trust me, I needed it! She is incredibly smart and has the contacts to get what you need done ? plumbers, electricians, handymen, painters, decorators, etc. I cannot recommend her highly enough, nor thank her enough for all of her help with my real estate needs.
Abby is very adept at the process. There was a level of professionalism and ease in working with her. The most important aspect in selling a long standing family asset is the communication throughout the process. Abby was precise and on point every step of the way, making certain to deliver all news and to ensure ample opportunity to discuss and analyze all options presented.
Abby provided a level of service that we did not find in any other realtor. We worked with another realtor for a year before Abby, but did not find exactly what we wanted. When we switched to Abby, she listened closely to our needs and wants and worked tirelessly to find our perfect home. She also provided us with advice and guidance throughout the process. We also found out she is highly respected in the industry and that made the difference when making the offer on our home. We recommend that anyone looking for the highest level of service from a realtor use Abby Waddell as their realtor.
Abby help me find the exact type of home I was looking for by always asking questions after going to see a property to refine what I wanted. She was always available to show me place that where in the area & specific type I wanted. In the end I have purchased the exact property I wanted. Abby gleaned from what I told her I wanted & found the right property for me. I highly recommend Abby for your next purchase.
Where do I start? Well Ill start by saying I rarely - scratch that - never take the time to write reviews. That being said, Abby was so unbelievably awesome that I felt compelled to express my opinion and gratitude. My husband and I just purchased a new construction single family home and we used Abby as our agent. Things didnt go smoothly from day one. Between the inspectors 16 item fix-list, to finding out there was water under the house, we felt like giving up multiple times. Without Abbys diligent hard work at rectifying problems, getting answers, going to the city to pull permits, negotiating with the seller, etc we absolutely would have walked. Well, most likely any other agent would have told us to walk - that would have been the easy way out. But Abby knew how much we wanted this house and she moved mountains to make it happen. She is honest, hardworking, knowledgeable, helpful and loyal; I cant imagine anyone finding a better agent! Weve been here a month now and are SO happy and grateful to Abby. We are not moving anytime soon but if and when we decide to sell we will be giving her a call...
Abby helped us in the purchase of our home. This was a process that took almost a year due to market conditions and inventory. Her knowledge and help during the search and escrow process made everything a stress free experience. I would highly recommend her for a seller/buyer.
Abby helped me purchase a place which was a short sale. She knew the South Bay very well and was helpful and honest in her review of places she showed us in the area. Abby went above and beyond with all regards. She negotiated not just a lower price but also appliances and extras, pushed it through a very short/rushed escrow, and helped me (a first time home buyer) easily understand the mountains of paperwork. She was very responsive and kind. Could not recommend her enough.
Abby was so helpful to my brother, sister and I when we had to sell our moms house. Abby was so helpful and kept us on track and listened when we had questions, which we had lots. Abby new the area well and the real estate market specifically. She held our hands through negotiations that were fraught with frustrations and changes giving us options and opinions when necessary. Abby had connections for services from escrow to moving and storage and everyone she recommended was terrific.
I can honestly say that if it wasnt for Abby, my Moms house would never have gotten sold. We had every impediment under the sun: dry rot, old carpeting, peeling paint and family dynamic issues. My work takes me out of state and out of the country often. We needed to sell my Moms house quickly so we could afford an assisted living community for her. Abby managed the whole process beautifully. She was extremely attentive to the two seniors involved with the sale. She managed the workers, got the property sold for the price we requested and handled all the closing paperwork with professional efficiency. Even though my Mom did not want to sell, she loved and trusted Abby to take care of her and get her the most money possible. I will use Abby for all of my real estate deals moving forward. I cannot say enough great things about her. She has the knowledge, integrity, compassion and work ethic that can accomplish any reasonable goal. Anyone would be lucky to have Abby as their Realtor.
Abby helped us buy our new home in a different city than where we sold our old home. She did a lot of research of the areas, showed us probably 100 homes in 3 cities, spent weekends, evenings driving us to see places. She was always positive, had amazing ideas of how a home could be changed to fit our needs, lots of ideas on how to fix/remodel inexpensively to make an older home look new and fresh. We had a lot of anxiety and made offers that were not accepted, causing panic and fear and disappointment, and Abby never let us be negative, she would find the positive in the situation and in the end, we got the most fantastic, newly totally remodeled home with everything we wanted for an awesome price. Abbys dedication and understanding of your needs is beyond understanding and comparison. No one should buy a home without her!!!!
I just sold my town home in Manhattan Beach and bought a brand new home in Hermosa Beach. Abby handled both transactions. I can honestly say that I have never used -- or observed -- a broker who is more thorough, diligent, creative, and calm. Abby handled everything -- all the glitches, the problems, the details, the paperwork, and the repairs -- as a consummate professional. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her enthusiastically.
I have dealt with other agents in the past with selling and buying my past homes, and I would say Abby was auperior to anyone I have worked with. I felt she did her due diligence in every aspect of the deal to make sure there were no stones unturned. She also went above and beyond by meeting with various vendors such as the painter, gutter guy, contractor, landscaper, getting estimates on work to be completed when I moved in. I have never seen this before. Also, her list of referrals is endless, making it easy for me to know exactly who to call if I need an electrician, plumber, etc. I would highly recommend Abby to anyone and have told my friends and family how pleased I was with my experiience. I love my new home!
I would hire Abby again as our realtor. She helped my 77 year old Mom put her house on the market and sold it quickly in a not so great market. Selling my Moms house was a challenge since she had lived there for 43 years. All of us kids lived at least 500 miles away and could do little to help the process. Abby was great getting a stager, helping my Mom clean out the house, hire movers, and maneuver through all the inspections and closing. Abby was great!
Abby is an utmost professional; she is an ethical and thorough real estate agent. At a time when we were facing multiple bids on the properties that we were interested in, she actually closed the deal on 2 places for us simultaneously. We spent 3 months fixing them both up. This is something we?ve never done before. If it wasn?t for her list of handymen and tried and true contractors, we?d never been able to renovate our new places and get them rented for top dollar in just a few months. Even long after the sales, she has been helpful to us. Her attention to detail has been phenomenal. We continue to use her expertise and have referred her to family and friends.
Abby went way beyond what is expected from a real estate agent when she sold our house, which was accomplished in 3 days on the market. She is very knowledgable about the area, and used that knowledge to price our house very fairly. She was there for us every step of the way during escrow, and even helped us get out and back in again when we had to get the house tented. I think, though, that Abbys most important qualities are her very high integrity and willingness to do what it takes to satisfy her clients. Bottom line, I would definitely have her as my agent again.
She is very familiar with the area. Very courteous and professional. Price conscious and works diligently with the client. I highly recommend working with her during a real estate transaction.
Ive known Abby for years and have worked with her on multiple transactions. Her work-ethic, knowledge and integrity are beyond compare. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of these qualities in their real estate professional.
Abby was instrumental in selling our Carnegie Lane home and in purchasing our new home off of Amy Lane, all of them in Redondo Beach back in 2007. She truly made the whole process easier and smooth for us. She coordinated to stage our house and partnered us up with appropriate people to get everything done on time. She truly took in consideration of what we were looking for and did her homework. The Carnegie home sold in the first week of its open house !! And she found us a home before hand to move into. She was very methodical and strategic in the way she handled everything with her real estate knowledge of South Bay area. She took charge of selling and buying process and we didnt have to worry about all of the tiny details. If anyone is looking for a home and you want to find an agent who is trustworthy and will get the job done, I would recommend Abby with two thumbs up. If anyone needs any direct feedback, feel free to contact me.
