The Full Story
About Us
My name is Awilda Lalande, and I’m the proud founder of Awilda Ascends Properties—a real estate investment company born from purpose, compassion, and a deep desire to create meaningful change.
After over two decades in healthcare operations, supporting patients and communities through some of life’s most difficult moments, I felt called to expand my impact beyond the clinic walls. In early 2025, during a personal season of transition, I reflected on the struggles I had witnessed in my community—families burdened by foreclosure, overwhelmed by inherited properties, or simply needing a fresh start with dignity.
That reflection became fuel and founded Awilda Ascends Properties. Rooted in compassion and led by experience, our mission is to help homeowners facing difficult situations find solutions that restore hope—one property at a time.
We are not just investors; we are problem solvers, listeners, and partners. We approach every situation with care, making sure no homeowner feels pressured or alone. Whether you’re navigating foreclosure, managing a property from out of state, or simply ready to let go of a home that no longer serves you—we’re here to help.
Awilda Ascends is more than a business; it’s a movement of healing, rebuilding, and rising above. We proudly serve communities across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, offering free consultations and ensuring no out-of-pocket costs for the homeowners we support.
To restore hope, one property at a time, by offering compassionate solutions to homeowners in distress and transforming properties into opportunities for renewal and community growth.
