Review for Member: Al Waddell
ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I got to know Al through a number of open houses that he held throughout the Olde Towne East and Franklin Park neighborhoods. When we decided to list our home, we didnt even bother to call another agent. Als expertise in this area is second to none. Many real estate agents claim that they will go above and beyond to market and ultimately sell a home. Unfortunately, many simply just slap a sign in the yard, hire a decent photographer, and put the listing online. Al truly went above and beyond. He hired an excellent photographer and aggressively marketed the property and the open house on a number of different sites (Facebook, Zillow, Realtor, Columbus Dispatch, etc). We had over 60 people through our open house. Al also had some beautiful printed materials of our property for the open house and for showings. Keep in mind, these extra costs are on the real estate agents dime. Al successfully closed our real estate transaction in about 2 months. If you are buying or selling a home in Olde Towne East or Franklin Park, you would be a fool not to talk to Al first.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy fiance and I really lucked out in finding Al. We were first-time buyers and he took as much time as needed to help us along and teach us everything we needed to know. Ended up with a great place. He is very professional, helpful, and very good at what he does. Would use him again if we ever bought or sold in future.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have known Al for just a short time meeting him in the neighborhood. I found the sale of homes in the area at their peak and I immediately looked to Al to help. He was frank and honest assisting me with staging, pricing, and expectations. He was patient with me despite my many questions and fears. He was fantastic and I would recommend him without question to anyone. Thanks Al!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a firs time homebuyer, I had no clue how to select a realtor. Luckily Al was my first choice! Al was very helpful throughout the entire process and always available to answer any questions I had throughout our journey. He is extremely honest, and always gave me enough information to give me insight on things that i werent so clear on. Overall Al is a professional and genuine guy! I highly recommend Mr. Waddell!!

ZillowVERIFIEDI was living in Florida and still owned a home in Columbus that I was currently renting. I met Al through my renters. He helped me sell my house and he helped the renters find a new home. He helped me through the whole process. It went smoothly. It could have been a night mare. Thanks Al

ZillowVERIFIEDAl was great to work with. I have known Al for a few years while living in the near downtown historical area. I have always respected him for his knowledge and dedication to the districts and their revitalization. I considered no one else in the sale of my home. He is very professional, honest, and respectful with everyone. The sale went quickly and the follow through was flawless. I trusted him with my home entirely. I highly recommend Al to anyone considering buying or selling a home, especially in the historical districts. Great job Al, we cannot thank you enough for your help!

ZillowVERIFIEDAl did a tremendous job selling my home. He was extremely knowledgeable about the process and helped me through each step of the way. His two key strengths are his marketing of homes, (photography video and pamphlets) is heads and shoulders above the others I saw and he truley understands todays market. Additionally Al is willing to provide assitantance where ever and when ever he can. If you ask a question he either had a recommendation or tracked down the answer. I would highly recommend Al and am greatful I had his support in selling my home.

ZillowVERIFIEDAl has excellent knowledge of the neighborhood and clearly knew how to help us prepare to sell our home. He was with us every step of the way from preparing the house for sale to closing. He has excellent materials for the home and the buyer packet he prepares is perfect for a new prospective buyer. Al goes the extra mile to make sure your home is in the buyers eye. I could not have had a better experience

ZillowVERIFIEDAl has the kind of appreciation for older homes in promising, but slightly undervalued areas of the city that it needs to get a home sold. He is well connected and manages to get your home exposure that money cant buy. Unlike other agents, Al takes an interest in the properties he represents and can actually answer the buyers questions. We felt in the best hands with him.

Review for Member: Al Waddell
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I absolutely loved working with Al. Over the course of a year, we looked at several historic homes and even went into contract on a few before we finally landed a home that was perfect for us. Al was extremely patient with us during this process and was readily available to look at any house which caught our eye. He clearly shared our passion for older homes and brought a wealth of knowledge on the subject, which made our house hunting both educational and a lot of fun. During every step of the buying process, Al was forthright, exceedingly helpful, informative, and quick to respond, often returning emails at hours I would not expect of anyone. We feel that Al has truly gone above and beyond for us. He helped us find an amazing home, and most telling of all, we sincerely miss going house hunting with him!

ZillowVERIFIEDAl is a true professional. When it came to helping sell our home, he knew the area extremely well, developed a professional marketing program, executed it the marketing without any problem, and found the buyers. In the end, Al helped us get a higher price than we believed possible, and made the entire selling process enjoyable.

ZillowVERIFIEDAl was an absolute delight to work with (and I am not easily pleased)! His follow-up was impeccable, is ability to talk me off of the ledge when I needed it and his attention to detail were all spot on. I could not have asked for a more personable, polite and professional expert to go through this process with. Thanks Al!

Review for Member: Al Waddell
ZillowVERIFIEDAl did an excellent job for my wife and I. He helped us sell a historic home that my wife and I spent ten years remodeling. The house was really our first baby. We had an emotional connection to the house and we were try to sell it at a time when it was a buyer's market. Al was patient, informative and smart and always seemed to be looking out for our best interest. If you have a historic home in Columbus, particularly in the Franklin Park and Olde Towne East area, I strongly recommend you use Al Waddell as your agent.

Review for Member: Al Waddell
ZillowVERIFIEDIf you are buying or selling a unique or historical home in Columbus, Al Waddell should be your agent. With his knowledge of the historical neighboorhoods of Columbus, he is able to point out and bring out the character in an older home that may have other wise been overlooked. His attention to detail creates remarkable and even keepsake worthy marketing material. Al listed my 96 year old home at a price point well over $100k higher than other agents recommended. Not only was he able to sell the house, but he had it in contract within 2 weeks, worked thru some very unfortunate circumstances to keep the sale on track, and closed the deal within 60 days.If I ever move back to Columbus, Al Waddell will be at the top of my list of people to notify.

ZillowVERIFIEDI was fortunate enough to have Al as the selling agent on a property I was buying. He was the person I went to, even over my own agent. I really hope Al is still in the profession when I am ready to sell my house, because he will be the first person I contact.There really could be no other option for me.

ZillowVERIFIEDAl went out of his way to help us in looking for a home in Columbus. He is professional and is very knowledgeable of the area and was able to explain all the details of purchasing a home. Al went, I believe, above and beyond the norm, he made us feel comfortable in the process and was always willing to take the time to explain any of the contracts. Al would also make himself available to answer all the questions that we had.If you are a first time buyer you will be impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. I could not recommend him highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIEDAl Waddell is the most professional, intelligent, kind, and over-all most useful realtor in Columbus, and maybe in the entire state of Ohio. I highly suggest giving him an email or a call if you are looking to buy a house. He is so informative and friendly. I really can't describe how great of a realtor he is; just an absolute joy to have around during the process of home buying.
