Abby was an excellent real estate agent. She took the time to totally understand what we were looking for, and found it for us. Buying our house could not have been any smoother.

Abby worked harder than any agent with whom we've worked. She diligently previewed many properties to ensure that we would only see homes which she felt were right for us and in which she knew we would be interested. She was also very knowledgeable about each property shown to us, including details about the areas (i.e., school districts; retail; re-sale possibility). As a result, we seriously considered bidding on each house she showed us.

Abby did a tremendous job in selling our parents' house. They are elderly and were scheduled to move into assisted living in three weeks. We could not afford both places at the same time and did not have time to "fix" the old place up. Abby contacted some real estate investors and within a week the house was sold. What a blessing it was for my brothers and myself to get my parents the help they needed and sell their house so quickly. Abby stayed in contact with me every step of the way and was a great pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Mike Harmon, Torrance

I am writing this letter to recommend, in the highest manner possible, Abby Waddell as an agent. Abby represented us both in the sale of our then home and the purchase of our new home. Abby is second to none. Our relationship with Abby began in 2007 while I was pregnant with my second son. Abby managed to find us homes to look at and balanced all my anxieties about the possibilities of moving while pregnant or with a new baby. We were extremely picky and it never phased Abby. There was never any pressure from Abby. She is solely concerned with putting her clients into the space that they will call ‘home’. For Abby, the client truly always comes first. We also needed a lot of cosmetic work done on our house to sell it and, because I was pregnant, Abby coordinated it all. I am not exaggerating when I say that none of the work would have happened without her unwavering support and meticulous organization. In addition, every vendor Abby recommended (painter, handyman, etc.) was qualified and exceeded my expectations. Not only does Abby demand great service from herself, she only associates herself with reliable, competent and honest people. Who Abby is becomes more and more clear as you know whom she trusts. Abby is integrity epitomized. In 2009, Abby found us our home. She knew we’d love it when she saw it. She was right. Her instinct on what is ‘right’ for her clients is 100% dead on. Abby then guided us through the purchase process. We had a complicated escrow and challenging parties on the other end of the deal and, through it all, Abby was on top of everything. In fact, we learned how deficient our prior realtor had been because of her thorough approach to absolutely everything. Abby is not afraid to get her hands dirty. She gets involved in anything that it takes to help her clients through the process of selling, buying and moving. When you are Abby’s client, you truly feel like you must be her only client because it is unimaginable that she would have time to attend to anyone else given how closely she monitors everything for you! We could not be happier with Abby’s work. She is a decent, hard-working and honest person. I trust her wholeheartedly. She went above and beyond the call of duty so many times, I cannot list them all. Suffice it to say that if it needed to be done, Abby did it. No hesitation. No questions asked. I would be pleased to speak with anyone who wants more specific references for Abby. Beyond that, I shall end my letter with this: Although I have sworn that I’ll never move again, the only way I would ever even consider doing it is if I knew Abby would be by my side. She was, in the end, a true gift and has become a wonderful member of our family.

We were thrilled when Abby sold our Manhattan Beach home in less than 14 weeks for more than we expected. Her dedication and professionalism are obvious to all that meet her. Abby constantly went over and beyond our expectations as an agent. There are many agents in the South Bay but Abby is the only one for us!
