More about Alex Waidley

Alex has an affection for the Eastside of Los Angeles and a passion for people experiencing the sanctuary of home. She grew up in Glendale and now resides in South Pasadena and knows North East Los Angeles like the back of her hand (which has exactly 1 freckle.) She began her career in real estate in San Francisco at the peak of its sellers market. During her time up north she learned how to get offers accepted in a competitive environment and how to get top dollar for her seller clients by making small improvements to the property before listing it. By utilizing her natural and trained eye for design and her real estate prowess she is able to increase her sellers’ return on their refresh investment 5-10 fold. She also knows that behind the finance and competition involved in the process there are people; people with stories, aspirations, worries and plans. Her relationship with ...

    • Buying a house is stressful, but layer in being 6 months pregnant during a pandemic and you can imagine my nerves, but working with Alex literally gave me such a feeling of comfort that it made the whole process not only painless but very enjoyable! She's incredibly responsive, listens to everything you need/ want, and is proactive in the ENTIRE process. She's incredibly knowledgable about real estate, the Los Angeles neighborhoods, and ways to make your offer stand out in a VERY competitive market. I wouldn't be sitting in my dream home (that we got WAY under asking) if it wasn't for her. She's the absolute best, and I couldn't recommend her enough.

    • I just closed escrow on a beautiful home that I would never have gotten if I didn't have Alex as my agent. I found Alex on yelp and was impressed the first time she spoke to me. Alex knew all the details and ins and outs of the home buying process. I was trying to buy a home while juggling work and I found Alex was always a step ahead with everything. She was punctual at every meeting and at every home was saw. I could tell she wasn't just in a rush to close a home, but really wanted me to find the right home. Alex advocates very strongly for me when communicating with the seller's agent and even my own lender!! There was serious time pressure and Alex put a fire under my lever to get the bank to process my loan within the time frame three seller required. I was more than impressed. I bought a home at the most competitive time when the inventory was really low so I had a lot of competition to deal with when I made an offer. Alex helped me through the entire process and she was was available by phone, text and email seven days a week! I never had an agent as hard working and diligent as Alex. Even after I just closed, Alex was still emailing me info to help me settle in my new home. I can't recommend Alex enough. I would give her ten stars if I could!!

    • Alex is the BEST! So invested, thorough, and intelligent. She eased so many anxieties along the way through our first LA home purchase experience. We had a learning curve for the CA real estate process and Alex was able to take care of all of our needs/ answered questions constantly throughout the process. Thank you Alex for being so patient and understanding! We hit the lotto with Alex and I recommend to look no further.

    • Alex came highly recommended to us from a friend and we couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent. We gave her a list of things we needed and a list of things that were on our wish list. She was able to find us an amazing home with everything we needed and most of things on our wish list too! Alex was so friendly and professional, always there for us through every step of the process and ready to answer all of the many questions we had, from helping us understand all the complicated documents we reviewed to giving us her honest opinion about each home we toured. With her help we were able to close on our dream home in 21 days! We are extremely grateful for everything Alex did to help us buy our first home and can't recommend her enough!

    • Alex is the best real estate agent. She knows the east LA market like the back of her hand, her communication is prompt and thorough, and you'll always be at ease with her guiding you through the process of buying or selling a home. I'd give her six stars if Yelp let me.

    • Alex is so wonderful to work with! As a native Angelino she knows all the nuances of each neighborhood and perfectly matched us with what was best for our family. She is such an expert at all stages of the process, placing us at ease instead of being stressed, allowing us to be excited about this next adventure. She is professional, yet genuine and fun. I highly recommend choosing her for your next move :)

    • As a first time home buyer, I had my many reservations and fears about the whole process - it all seemed extremely overwhelming! Alex immediately erased all of that. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and punctual with her information, she was also extremely gracious with her time and always willing to explain things a second or third time. It definitely felt as though she was journeying with me during the house buying process and I felt completely at ease throughout it all thanks to her. Plus, her keen sense of the market and the multiple offers coming in was key in securing the perfect home!

    • We had an amazing experience working with Alex and would highly recommend her! It's extremely challenging buying a house right now, so it's essential for buyers to secure any kind of possible advantage. With Alex we were able to achieve an accepted offer...perhaps the biggest and most important challenge in the whole process! Alex was key in making that happen. She moved quickly when presenting offers and provided excellent representation, advice on pricing, and negotiation with the seller. She built a great rapport with the listing agent which was very helpful. Another big plus is that Alex took care of all the very important (yet easy-to-overlook) details such as securing the right coverage for the home warranty. Alex is also very responsive at all hours of the day. In summary we'd highly recommend working with Alex when buying in LA...the key is to find a Realtor who will achieve success in this highly-competitive marketplace and Alex has the necessary experience and excellent judgment to deliver great results.

    • As a first time home buyer, we were very nervous about the home buying process, especially in Los Angeles where it's very competitive. Alex couldn't have been a better choice to represent us! Alex is very experienced, incredibly knowledgeable about the LA market, and easy to work with. I feel like we always had dozens of questions along the way and she was always very patient and explained each step, from prequalifying, to showings, to making an offer, to negotiating price and repairs. She also has a killer eye for design and was able to help us picture how different houses could work for our family and our needs. We ended up going against multiple offers and she helped us seal the deal! She also recommended fantastic vendors for inspections and repairs so we feel very confident about our purchase. If we ever decide to sell our house, there's no doubt Alex will represent us again! We couldn't recommend her more highly!

    • Alex truly went above and beyond. Thanks to her I am now typing this from our new home! My family was assigned to both Alex and another agent on Zillow for different zip codes when we initially wanted to check out some open houses and didn't know what we were doing. We met with both, but chose Alex. It was an easy choice because she was courteous and sent us some personalized options right off the bat. Her attention to detail and rapid-fire communication made her stand out compared to the other agent.We toured a dozen homes with Alex and it quickly felt like we were family. She handled the covid masks, tricky scheduling, and covid waivers well. The process was smooth and didn't feel like a hassle, which felt like a feat during these times. Once we got to know each other there was a mutual understanding that Alex would be able to be honest with us and let us know if something was too far out of our price range or not really a good fit for our desired goals.Alex is a good human and also brings her interior design background to the table. It came in handy when we wanted to brainstorm possible decorating options (plunge pool). We are grateful for her reminders to look at the layout and the bones of the place instead of just the seller's current paint choices and curtains. We also decided to hire multiple specialists to come to the house and Alex handled all the logistics and communication with the seller in a way that put us at ease. We are so happy in our new home!!

    • The headlines: Viewed dozens of homes and only found one place we loved. Made a single offer - well under asking - offer accepted. Within four weeks, moved in and still in awe.The story: During the process we were so well-cared for. Alex answered our call, tailored her service and search to meet our exact needs. She kept us so well informed along the way - giving us the information we needed to act quickly - and she navigated the entire process with grace. Small things that would have otherwise impacted the timeline, Alex proactively got ahead of all of it for us.The takeaway: If you are given the opportunity to work with Alex Waidley on finding (or selling) your next home, you're foolish to pass it up. Alex's professionalism speaks in volumes - but her authentic approach and passion for getting you to where you want to go is rare and beautiful.
