Mike and Hayden Wald were absolutely wonderful to work with. They are both extremely knowledgeable about the Over The Mountain market, which made our Vestavia purchase and Hoover sale feel seamless and easy. They were quick to respond to any of our questions, and it was clear they genuinely care about prioritizing their clients even over their own interests. It is almost daily that we see a sign with Mike or Haydens name on it, which gave us even more confidence that they were best suited to help us in this area. Buying and selling a house seems to be a stressful process for many, but with Mike and Hayden we never felt uncertain or overwhelmed. Their deep understanding of the many complexities of buying and selling a home made us feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. Our confidence is rooted in their results. With the help of Mike and Hayden, our home received 10 offers in 3 days, with a selling price of nearly $100k over the asking price. This would not have been possible without the expertise and guidance of Mike and Hayden. There is no doubt we will again choose the Walds when we decide to buy or sell again in the future.
We knew of Mike and Haydens reputation as top agents in Vestavia. After meeting with them and learning about their track record and marketing strategies, we decided not to interview any other agents. Were thankful we made that decision, as their results exceeded our highest expectations. Plus, theyre easy to work with. With decades of experience, they patiently guided us through each phase of the selling process. Well happily recommend them to friends and family!
Working with The Wald Group was an amazing experience. Hayden did an outstanding job explaining the process and definitely over delivered when selling our home. He is a great communicator and his knowledge of the market was spot on. We moved out of the state but I still call him for advice. The Wald Group gets our highest recommendation!
My wife and I have worked with the Wald Group on every one of our home purchases and sales, and the experience has been great. We wouldnt think about using anyone else when it comes to real estate. These guys are the best in the business!
Initially, we tried to sell our home with a discount company. We were not getting the results we wanted so we contacted Mike and Hayden Wald. Not only did they get quick results, we made more money. Mike and Hayden were wonderful to work with and highly recommend them.
Mike and Hayden Wald were wonderful to work with. They made the selling process very easy. They were available and always responded quickly. They helped us go down the checklist to get our house ready to sell. We were impressed with their level of knowledge and the amount of data that they had about the market. We are so thankful that we worked with them and will definitely reach out to them again for future needs!
Mike goes the extra mile from gathering details, to knowing the pulse of Birminghams market, to matching housing desires with the right opportunities. Decades of experience show up in the process and and an intuitive sense of understanding the families he works with make it an enjoyable process to work with Mike.
Mike Wald and his team are the most exceptional realtors we have ever worked with and we have bought and sold twelve homes. Their marketing plan is phenomenal. They guide sellers to prepare their homes to sell for top dollar with staging tips, professional pictures, and mass marketing before the showings and open house. Our house sold in one day. They used the same process to sell two of our son's houses and one of our daughter's homes, also in one day each. All of these homes sold above asking price over a span of five years. They are also exceptional as buyers agents. Our son and many others have used them in this capacity. Unfortunately, we moved out of state or we would be using them every time! Mike and all of his team are just the nicest people. They are calm, exceptionally responsive, and just go the extra mile to make this experience the most pleasant possible!!!
Mike and Hayden Wald are amazing! We listed our house, and within a short amount of time, they had our home professionally photographed, video taped, and posted on the top real estate sites. Showings started on Friday and we had multiple contracts above our asking price by Monday. The closing was SEAMLESS as RealtySouth has their own in-house people. Mike and Hayden are just lovely and a joy to work with- if I could add 5 more starts to the review I would!
Mike Wald and his team, Hayden Wald and Ashley Bryan, were a pleasure to work with! We had a great experience with them as we went through the process of selling our home. They were all very responsive, honest, and most helpful. We would definitely recommend!
I intially chose Mike and Hayden Wald due to their sterling reputation in the neighborhood and their excellent track record for selling houses. After working with them on my house, I understand why they came so highly recommended. They conduct their business in a very organized, methodical, professional way that was very refreshing. There were no surprises and they were honest and open throughout the entire process. From talking with Mike, he has been in the real estate business a fairly long time, and it shows. Every step of the process was handled perfectly due to his vast experience and knowledge of the business. I would strongly recommend Mike and Hayden.
Mike Wald is an exceptional Realtor and provided me with superb service. He responded to all of my calls and emails very promptly and answered all of my questions. He spent a lot of time taking precise pictures of the exterior and interior of my home, and published a very professional listing that highlighted all of the positive attributes of my home. Mike was an expert negotiator and I was very pleased with the final contract. He was personable, engaging and professional throughout the process, and I would highly recommend him.
Mike wears many hats, and wears all of them well. His prior experience in homebuilding gives him both the expertise and the contacts with tradespeople that enable him to get your home market ready in record time. His people skills guide all participants through what can be a challenging process. He is immediately responsive and follows up on the smallest details. Although he has many years of experience, he keeps at the forefront of technology developments that give him--and you--a competitive advantage. We were selling in an above-average price range but had a contract in less than three weeks and closed on time. Thank you, Mike!
Looking back on my experience of selling my home, I should have gone to Mike first. I had used another agent the first few months and when I made the switch you could instantly tell the difference. What I liked most was the detail he took in taking pictures of my house. This is not some process where someone walks around with a cell phone snapping pictures and loading them onto a website, he was very detailed in this process and I think that makes a huge impact to a buyer. The online first impression is what most buyers see first and he helps that next step to get them in the door. He has been in the industry a long time and I would highly recommend him to others.
Mike was very knowledgeable and responsive. Before, during, and even after the sale. He followed up to make sure we were settled in and provided some useful references and information about the new neighborhood.
My wife and I found a deal we could not pass up. We knew we would have to sell our house in order to purchase this other property. We called Mike and Hayden and within 10 days of our house being listed we went under contract! Mike was with us every step of the way, from the initial meeting to go over the comps in our area to meeting and going over our contract. It was a easy and enjoyable experience for us. Mike has also sold properties for other family members of mine that have had the same experience. I highly recommend Mike Wald!
Mike and Hayden Wald are the best realtors in the Birmingham area. I would highly recommend you to call them to sell your home. They sold ours and helped us find another one after 4 other realtors failed. It was such a pleasure to work with them.
I have worked with over a dozen real estate agents over my life and none come close to Mike Wald. He is super professional, very knowledgeable and as honest as the day is long. I give him my highest recommendation.Darin W. White, Ph.D.Professor of Marketing
Selling my mother's home was a stressful and heartbreaking experience, but Mike made it so much better by walking me through what needed to be done to the house to bring it up to top selling standard; bringing many interested buyers through; identifying the correct candidate, walking them through selling their home and making me feel comfortable that mother's home would be perfect for this family. I could not have done it without Mike's expertise in contacting the proper contractors to do the work that needed to be done. The timeline for the new family to move in and us to vacate was equally important since their son had to have heart surgery soon after the move. I will never use another realtor as long as Mike is around.
Couldn't have been happier with our experience with Mike. He was always available (even worked with us while he was on vacation!), had great knowledge about the area, and was very thorough. Highly recommended.
Mike and his team are terrific to work with if you are selling OR buying a house. We have used him for both on different occasions. He has years of experience and knows the area well having lived here most of his life. Mike goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are represented well. You cannot go wrong using Mike and his team.
My wife and I hired Mike to sell our home after it had been on the market for some time. Mike came in and assessed the property at the correct value which resulted in a contract within a couple of weeks. We were very happy with the pictures and description of our property on multiple sites. We also used Mike as our agent when we purchased our current home. He and Hayden were always available whenever we wanted to look at a house. He even referred several reputable people/businesses for our remodeling projects.

Mike has a "sixth sense" when it comes to real estate. Mike and his team have a wealth of knowledge and experience, the combination you need when selling or buying a home. Plus, they are delight to work with!
I listed my home with mike and his son Hayden. I had already moved out of town when the house was officially listed on the market They met with painters and other repairmen before the home was listed and had it in great shape before the first showing. I received an offer and was under contract on the first day. They both did an amazing job and answered all my questions along the way. You can tell they take pride in what they do. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area.
Mike Wald helped us with three real estate transactions last year. And another the year previous. He was on top of every detail. He really understands the market and what buyers and sellers are looking for. We were purchasing and selling properties for elderly parents and young adult children. This could've been a minefield of emotional issues wrapped up in the real estate. Mike was able to rise above calmly and professionally to work with family who were stressed. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about real estate he'a a great guy and it was a joy to work with him. We feel like we made a new friend. I don't think there's a better agent in Birmingham.
Mike Wald, Hayden Wald & their entire staff assisted my wife & I with 1) the sale of our residence due to relocation, 2) the sale of my parents residence, & 3) the purchase of a new residence for my parents that better fit their living needs. Mike & his entire team are creative with ideas to help sell a house,resourceful & diligent in research, helpful in finding workers to complete work as needed, precise & timely in providing information & probably to top the list they are fun, kind, & courteous. We strongly recommend Mike & his team for any real estate needs you might have, you can stop looking for a Realtor because Mike can & will help you.
I worked with Mike to sell my condo in the Highland area of Birmingham and to find a new home in Cahaba Heights. Mike's knowledge base of the Vestavia area is second to none. He worked hard to become just as familiar with the Highland area in order to sell my condo. When looking at homes, he would point out concerns that I would have never considered. This was my first time to sell a home. He walked me through every offer and gave me great advice. Mike was prompt and responsive to all of my questions. He took amazing photos and offered very helpful tips to stage my home properly. If it weren't for him, I know my home wouldn't have sold as fast for for as much. I have highly recommended him to anyone looking to buy or sell. I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience!
They don't come any better than Mike Wald. We were picky about what we wanted and he was so VERY patient with us until we found our perfect home. He knows the community like no one else and makes you feel like you are the most important client he has. Once we found our new home he helped us get our former home sold quickly and helped us step by step through the new home purchase. When we had items that needed repair he knew countless contractors that were able to do the job quickly and with great skill, and was always available to answer any questions. We highly recommend Mike and Hayden Wald to anyone who is looking for exceptional agents.
Mike knows the Vestavia/Mt Brook market very well and provides excellent guidance during the search process and great support in the negotiation phase.I strongly recommend Mike to anyone who is interested on buying or selling a house.Gustavo
Mike was a true Life Saver!! He gave us a very clear direction, and his suggestions were practical and cost-efficient. When we needed them, the recommendations he offered for certain companies or workers were extremely helpful. The value we added to our house by doing everything he suggested was well worth it! I highly recommend Mike!
