Alida Joy-Way

My path to the Fresh Air Team at Compass has been shaped by building, owning, and investing in property myself. As the founder of Wanderlust NY, I developed a property and estate management business serving high-end homes across Brooklyn and the Catskills, and over time became an active investor and owner in those same markets. That experience gave me a clear point of view: the best outcomes come from understanding a home not just as a transaction, but as a long-term asset that evolves over its entire lifecycle.

Real estate sales became a natural extension of that work - an essential part of a 360-degree approach that allows me to support clients from acquisition through ownership and, when the time is right, sale. In a previous life, I worked in strategy and planning with New York University in New York and Abu Dhabi, an experience that sharpened my ability to think holistically and execute with discipline. Today, as a licensed real estate salesperson, I work with clients as a dedicated partner - bringing an owner’s perspective, an investor’s discipline, and a high-touch, high-service approach to every relationship.
