Allan and his team were absolutely amazing helping us with the recent purchase of our new home and sale of our previous home. He was so patient with all of our questions as first time home sellers, and really helped guide us throughout the process. With his great eye for marketing and negotiations, we had such a smooth sale process. He also helped us find such a gem for our new house, we couldn't be happier. I'd absolutely recommend Allan to anyone looking for a great agent in Northeast LA! read more

I've been working with Allan from Avida Real Estate for a few years now. Most recently he helped me find a tenant for my rental property and before that he helped my husband and I secure our dream home. Allan is hardworking, thorough, trustworthy. He was always one step ahead of us, had a great knowledge around the renters and buyers market, and all around super pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Avida Real Estate for anyone looking to buy, sell, or lease their homes! read more

As an Escrow officer I'm working with many professional Real Estate agents that i can say Allan Vides and his amazing team are one of them. It makes the whole escrow process so smooth when you deal with knowledgeable agents. Looking forward to work with Avida Real Estate in the near future. read more

Allan was an absolute dream to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable in the area we wanted to buy our new home in and was also always available to address all the concerns and questions we may have had. To our surprise he was able to negotiate a price under the seller's asking price which we were super happy about. We were so impressed with Allan during the home buying process that also hired him to sell our old house. As expected he was also wonderful during that process that he sold our old home for over the asking price. Can't thank Allan enough! read more

Allan was super helpful, flexible and made our transition into our new home really easy. Thank you!

Allan at Avida & Associates is absolutely the best; not metaphorically, LITERALLY. My experience with him in purchasing land in Lincoln Heights for my future home was an absolute dream. I'm fully confident that he is the only one capable of accomplishing what we did together. He went above and beyond at every step, assisting me with tax strategy, financing, communicating with the city to make CERTAIN every question was answered, even connecting me with a wonderful architect to advise on future plans. We stayed in contact for years leading up to my purchase, sifting through various options & strategies until the right thing came along for my unique situation, and the friendship we've developed through this process ensures that we'll be in contact for years to come. For real estate of all shapes, sizes and budgets in the East LA area there is no one better... NO ONE!!! read more

Allan is a great help. He was always available and addressed my concerns. He wasn't forward and made sure me and my family were getting exactly what we wanted. read more

I have worked with Allan for over 7 years and he has been amazing at every turn. He helped me find and purchase my first home, sell that home, and purchase our second home as well. He is currently on the hunt for an investment property for me. Allan has the genuine qualities in a business owner that are difficult to find at times. Allan genuinely cares about his clients, and cares that they are getting the right property for their needs and their desires. Allan takes the time to find properties, he follows up with other agents constantly and consistently, and he really puts forth an effort to work diligently to make sure his clients get what they want. Allan also has an amazing eye for what improvements are likely necessary, and he also works with an amazing network of people to help with listing your home or even making improvements to the home that you are purchasing. He is truly a "one-stop shop". I have no desire to speak with any other real estate brokers because Allan has never steered me wrong. He is the best! read more

Wow I usually only leave good food reviews here on Yelp but dealing with Victor and Avida & Associates when purchasing my multi unit homes here in Highland Park I was confident in my decision! Make sure to reach out to them ASAP if your looking to purchase your next home! read more

Allan is great! Super helpful and attentive. Helped me secure a solid tenant. He goes out of his way to do a great job.

Allan of Avida & Associates is the broker/realtor you need and want! He's incredibly wise about all things real estate and finances, and especially knowledgable about the Northeast LA area. As a first time homebuyer, I was very daunted by the entire idea of actually learning what it took to get into a home....and then actually working to make it happen. Allan and his team offer the perfect accompaniment through this process. They are always down to listen and respond to my questions and fears with kindness, strategy and deep regard. Thanks to the team at Avida & Associates, I have now lived in and owned a duplex in El Sereno for several years. I continue to rely on them through the years as project managers for various renovation projects. I'm very grateful for the depth of knowledge and kindness Avida & Associates offer, and highly recommend them! read more

Allan Vides & the whole AVIDA & Associates Team were an absolute pleasure to work with on the purchase of our home. As first time home buyers, my wife and I had plenty of questions & concerns. Allan and his Team were always there to explain and at time educate us on the process. I appreciate his transparent approach to business, knowledge of the market and at times cold hard truths of the matter. The transaction moved along quickly, all the deadlines he set were met. In the end my wife and I really felt as if a trusted relative was representing us. A wonderful experience & a true Pro! We will be working again with Allan and his Team for future investments. read more

Allan Vides is the only realtor I will buy a house in LA with! While you are distracted by a shiny backsplash, Allan is checking walls and baseboards, noticing the tilt of a house, chatting with kids in the neighborhood, calling local schools to verify zoning, and giving you the real on the selling agent and the likelihood the deal will go through. Then, once you buy the house, he helps you take care of EVERYTHING, from construction to ripping out carpets to picking out paint colors to a new mailbox. We still text him whenever we have questions about home ownership, and he got us this house for an extremely reasonable price so the commission couldn't have been worth 6 years of friendship and help. Thank you, Allan, and sorry you're stuck with us for life! read more

Where to begin? Working with Allan is a dream. My wife and I bought our house originally with him in 2017 and wouldn't imagine working with anyone else when we sold it in 2021. We've appreciated Allan's patience and how he lets his clients come to their own conclusions (while quietly and astutely guiding them along the way). He's a total pro when it comes to the LA market and has an elevated aesthetic, which is invaluable when it comes to getting a property "market ready." Thank you, Allan, for making the experience of selling our home so smooth and easy. read more

I bit off more than I could chew and was feeling extremely overwhelmed while my husband and I were attempting to create a real estate sales contract to purchase our first home, which had belonged to my late grandfather, from my mother. After several attempts, I decided to throw in the towel and contact a professional to guide my family and I through the process. We reached out to Allan who came highly recommended to us by our best friends who had also previously worked with him on the purchase of their home. We are so glad we did. Allan is exceptional and really goes above and beyond. He understood the details of what my family and I were trying to do and quickly drew up the sales contract for us, as we were under a bit of a time crunch. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, detailed, helpful, and communicative and clear at every step of the way. He answered all of our questions and we can't express how much we appreciate the patience he exhibited in doing so. While he generally works in Southern California, the homes that my husband and I, as well as our best friends had purchased, were in the Bay Area, yet Allan still knew the local ins and outs of things to advise us. My family and I are so grateful to Allan for helping to make things work for everyone involved so that we could not only purchase our first home, but also keep my grandpa's home within our family. read more

Allan was an absolute dream to work with. We were first time home buyers and relied heavily on Allan's experience and expertise to guide us on what to do. He was kind, patient, responsive, and walked us through every step to make sure we knew exactly what was going on. It helped to reduce the overwhelm when it comes to the home buying process. We told him what we were ideally looking for, in the general areas we were interested in, and he absolutely hussled to get us to see as many houses as possible in a short period of time. We always felt like he had our interests in mind and that he wasn't working only for a commission. He wanted us to find the right and best home for us, in the budget that we could afford, and to make sure that we would be happy. We never felt like he was trying to get us to purchase a house above our means. He was always 100% honest with us about the houses we were looking at and whether they would be worthwhile investments for us. We are so grateful to work with Allan, even with the Los Angeles market, we were able to purchase a house in a neighborhood we love, in a price we could afford, only on our second offer which was unheardof for us. We highly recommend Allan to all of our friends and would recommend him to anyone. read more

Words cannot capture how much Allan has helped me during an exciting but nerve-wrecking time. Buying a home can be quite daunting and full of questions. Allan was there to ensure that all my questions were answered, all options were explored and that I was comfortable throughout the entire process. He is very knowledgeable, skilled and professional in his field. His talent and creativity speaks for itself. read more

Allan Vides has to be the best Broker in California. He helped me get quotes on paint, staging and landscape. Advise me on areas to focus on and areas that don't. Communication was easy. When I didn't agree with something, his experiences helped explain why and the reason we should stick to our specific plan. I need to find someone like him at the new state I'm relocating to. I sent his info to a few friends that could use his service. Thanks Allan! Mahalo! read more

Allan is great. He is responsive, timely and a great advisor. I recently purchased my first home with Allan as my realtor. I did a quick search in a week of looking for a home as I was relocating to Los Angeles from the Bay area. We went to lots of houses everyday and when I was stuck between two options he even contacted the realtors of those properties to see if I could come by for a second look. Once in the offer process, he guided me every step of the way and shielded me from stressful communication with the seller. I am thankful that he had discernment and foresight to know when to loop me in and when to handle it. He got me a great house in a beautiful neighborhood with little stress. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Victor and finding my perfect home. I am so happy with the stress free process Victor provided. I was expecting this painful process not only finding my dream home but all the paperwork involved. I can say Victor made this whole process so easy and I'm so happy I trusted him to help me with the purchase of my first home. I LOVE my place!!! If you want the same experience make sure to ask for Victor. I'm sure everyone else is great but I can only speak to my experience with Victor! Thank you soooo much!!!! read more

Bottom line: incompetence fueled by severe inexperience and inflated promises. Allan Vides and his associates worked for my landlord. My landlord is a sleazy person and tried to squeeze me out of my home rental. With Allan's help, they tried sleazy tactics to "motivate" me see their way. I got help from Eviction Defense Network in downtown and shut-down their unethical practices. The amateur hour of Allan Vides and his associates is an experience I never want to go through again. read more

Allan was really attentive and understanding of what I was looking for. As a first time homebuyer, I didn't really know anything about what buying a house entails and Allan explained each step thoroughly and patiently. He takes a lot of pride in his work and makes himself available anytime day and night. Would highly recommend! read more

Allan is the absolute best realtor to work with in Los Angeles. I feel so fortunate that he was there to guide me during the purchase of my first home. He is so insanely patient and knowledgable, on top of every detail and inspection and makes you feel like his number one client. My budget was pretty entry-level for the LA market but he never made me feel that way. He came with me to every viewing, was there for all of the inspections and was in constant contact. This man knows his stuff. He has a thorough knowledge of neighborhoods and areas and what would be a good investment. He would walk through every house and point out where the floor bounced, where some subpar plumbing was done, he would chat with the neighbors, all of the things I would have no idea to look for or ask. He is such a professional and also such a good person. I have reached out to him with questions a year after closing on my house and he always calls or emails me to discuss. I have recommended to him to every single one of my friends because he is the exact realtor you want when navigating any real estate market! read more

Allan was incredible to work with when we bought our home two years ago. He educated us on everything we needed to consider when looking at a property and was always down to go underneath houses and in attics to look at all the hidden details. He is an excellent and reliable communicator and was present during all stages and for every question we had. Allan treated us like we were family, he was genuinely caring and thoughtful during the process of helping us find the perfect home. I would recommend him to any and all close and dear to me. read more

I had a great experience. After another broker would only show me condos within my budget constraints. Avida was able to find me multiple properties within my budget and in prime real estate locations. In the end I was able to get a home under budget in a higher end neighborhood than expected. I would definitely recommend. read more

I have worked with Allan nearly 10 years and he is exceptional in every way. Not only is he exceptionally competent, but he is patient and a creative problem solver. I have referred Allan to a number of family members and friends (many of them first time home buyers) and he always does an amazing job of walking them through the whole process with patience and with an approach of educating them so they are well informed in the process. Allan looks at every new client as a potential lifetime client instead of as a one-time transaction. I would highly recommend Allan to anyone looking for a great agent! read more

Allan understood what we were looking for. We gave him a long list of homes that we wanted to see in 1 day and he and his team made it happen. The funny thing is, we ended up purchasing a home that was not on our original list. He, intuitively, set up a viewing for us, and we were hesitant to go into the home at first, but once we walked in... we were "sold." He respected our budget, stood up for us during negotiations and never made us feel silly for asking what might have been newbie questions, and his inputs on DIY work were very helpful too since he has tons of experience with that as well. We will be working with him again soon as we start our investment property search. read more

Allan was the best realtor I could have asked for. As a young, first time home buyer, he guided me through every step of the process. He was always willing to answer any questions I had, no matter how small or silly. As an LA native, he knows exactly what to look for when searching for a property. He found me my dream home, and helped me secure a *great* deal on it. Would highly recommend Avida & Associates to anyone searching for an experienced, friendly, and communicative realtor! read more

Victor was FANTASTIC! We found a home we loved and Victor was able to lock in the offer within hours of us viewing the property. I would highly recommend using Victor Caro he has a wonderful knowledge of the area and he seems to have a working relationship with other agents in the area and that helped us lock in our offer quickly. read more
