Akino had been recommended to us and exceeded by far our expectations as the Realtor to purchase our home on Oahu. Her knowledge of the Oahu real estate market and her communication skills are stellar. When we were living on the mainland she guided us through the remote purchase using video calls, emails and phone calls with ease. The home inspection was done with a video call as though we were there with Akino and the home inspector. Her negotiation skills, her attention to details and her work ethic of getting things done was outstanding. We are very happy with our purchase and are grateful to have worked with Akino to make our Hawaii dream home a reality. We highly recommend Akino as the Realtor of choice on the island of Oahu!

I appreciated Akino’s straightforward approach, consistent follow up, and sound unbiased advice during the house hunting and negotiation process. She was thoroughly levelheaded, supportive, and honest when providing feedback about any property I was possibly interested in making an offer. She was patient and accommodating with my busy work schedule and ensured that she was available to assist. I trusted her wholeheartedly as she did not overly try to sell me on any specific property and always asked me to self reflect and see if I loved it and if so, at what price.

I respected her professionalism and respectful nature with every person we met through the process and I felt that she advocated for my best interest at all times. She asked questions to the seller’s agent on information I would have never asked for on my own and did her due diligence to determine if the property was sound, safe, and at the right price. She was candid and expressed her opinion if she felt a listing price was too aggressive, or it was a right deal to consider. I felt she truly considered my preferences and prioritized my goals as though they were hers.

She has also helped me in connecting with another great realtor on another island and we also purchased a property there. I will work with Akino in future purchases/sales and wish her the most success.

Compass’s Alesia Barnes is by far the top agent on Oahu and I can’t say enough good things about her. Years ago I called various agents on Oahu to show me various properties they were listing only to go to voice mail and never a return call or returning the call days later. Alesia returned my call IMMEDIATELY, set up viewing appointments, and promptly picked me up at my hotel or airport to view several properties around the island. She provided me with extensive property analysis as well as the history regarding each property, market trends, information about each neighborhood I was interested in, the weather patterns for the area, and a list of fun activities and events around the island.

Any questions I had about a particular property she immediately set out to find the answers for me by calling the listing agent as well as County Planning if there were building, improvement, or zoning questions.

Alesia Barnes went over and above helping me not only with the purchase of the property but also helping me to move in making sure the property was spotless for my move in, literally helping me unload my household shipments, find buyers for any furniture we were not interested in keeping after the sale, but also keeping me updated on Oahu property values and potential other properties available for purchase even before they came on the market.

I had a property I had been trying to sell for over five years with no offers and very few showings. Through a friend, I was introduced to Alesia Barnes and after hearing so many positive comments about her and her team, I immediately hired her to sell my home. She went to work the same day setting up contractors to make the necessary improvements to show my property. She personally worked dawn to dusk and brought over truckloads of staging furniture and decorations turning my house into an incredible home! Alesia Barnes immediately matched clients to my new beautiful home and we were in escrow within 30 days! I cannot say enough positive things about her. I have never run into a real estate agent doing all that Alesa has done for me and her clients.

Her attributes include her incredible communication skills, pleasing personality, knowledge about properties searched, and willingness to go above and beyond in helping her clients.

I cannot say enough about Alesia Barnes - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Sincerely,

Robert Reish

I loved working with Alesia! She is a top notch professional so patient and knowledgeable. She made the process seamless and knew all the details and ins and outs of all the properties we viewed. Her team was always available and helpful throughout the entire process. Alesia definitely goes the extra mile and with the Aloha spirit. You will be in great hands with Alesia Barnes. Highly recommend to anyone buying or selling. Notch above the rest for sure!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alina Spatariu while looking for a home. From the beginning, she promptly responded and provided excellent suggestions for homes based on my preference, making this experience so much more enjoyable. Her attention to detail and her perfectionism is what makes her stand out from other realtors. Throughout the negotiations and closing, Alina was quick to handle any issues that arose. Mrs. Spatariu is a true professional and a genuine great person. I never expected that in my search for a forever home in Paradise, I would also find a wonderful friendship. Thank you, Alina Spatariu, for your hard work, attention to detail and dedication.

I highly recommend Alina for your realtor. She listened and is attentive to your needs!!!! She helped me find my condo many years ago and I would hire her again in an instant. She was patient and helped me find the perfect home and I stayed within my budget. She has a positive attitude and is a joy to work with her.

Audrey is exceptional! Being a first time home buyer with lots of questions and skepticism, she had ample patience with us. She took her time helping with every step along the way. She made the home buying process much more bearable. We would recommend Audrey 12 out of 10 times.

A+ Audrey is a first class agent in every way. I have been purchasing properties for decades and have never experienced the level of service that she provides. From start to finish, accepted offer to keys she was always there to offer assistance and keep the process flowing.. She even went above and beyond the call of duty as I was an out of state buyer. She used video to show details of the property to the point that there were no surprises when I showed up for the walk thru and inspection period. IF you are looking for a trusted partner, trust me and look no further than working with Audrey Alessi. You will be happy you did as she is simply da kine.

It was an excellent decision to use Bailey De Vos for this sale. At our first meeting she came prepared with data from previous sales in the building. After strategically setting the price, Bailey staged the unit impeccably so that prospective buyers could feel like it was a place they could call home! She updated me on activity from Open Houses and private showings. Two solid offers came in and the transaction closed within 40 days at the full asking price. Bailey was present for the inspection and assisted in resolving a correction needed. Her attention to details contributed to a very smooth transaction. Thank you Bailey!

We couldn’t be more happy with Bailey. It was an honor getting to know her and have her as our realtor. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, positivity and energy are unmatched. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of buying or selling to call her first. BAILEY IS AWESOME!!!

Orion is the man! My wife and I were first time home buyers trying to buy during one of the worst times ever (post covid, rising interest rates) in an extremely competitive market with very little inventory. We also had really specific and unique needs in a house. Orion was incredibly kind and worked with us for over a year to find the perfect place. He has a ton of local knowledge on the north shore and helped educate us during the entire process. We wanted to be very involved and call a lot of the shots, even if some of us our wants were unrealistic. Orion was the perfect balance for us, letting us be very aggressive in negotiations but also kept us within reason of getting our offer accepted. In the end, we ended up getting an amazing deal on the perfect house for us. Huge thanks to Orion, and we’ll definitely be using him again in the future!

Orion is an absolute pro and is looking out for his clients best interest. He has the street creds and the reputation to get things done. We had an all star experience with Orion and he successfully helped us find our dream home. He went above and beyond in researching the property, problem solving, and guiding us along the journey. We highly recommend Orion!!!!

I can’t believe it has been a year since Ben helped us find our forever home in paradise. Totally recommend Ben Puccetti to anyone looking for a home on Oahu. I started my house hunt from the mainland and Ben went the extra mile to keep me up to date, communicate with me about prospects and was a valuable resource to learn about Island life. His service didn’t stop at the home closing. Ben reached out to me months after I bought my home in Mililani to remind me of Hawaii resident tax benefits that saved me thousands of dollars off my real property tax bill. I trust and highly recommend Ben and Hawaii Life. Christine Lutz

I have recently become a first time homebuyer and this was all possible with the help of Ben Puccetti. I had the privilege to work with him and am very happy that Ben was THE person to guide me through this.

I dove into this with a lot of questions and uncertainty. Ben has such an amazing welcoming personality. He has the gift of making people feel comfortable and respected. I mean, he was there every step of the way and I trusted immediately in him to tackle whatever obstacles came our way.

If you are looking to sell or buy, you need someone that is pro active. Everything about this business comes with deadlines which requires immediate attention. Ben excels in this department.

I just bought a place, and I know that in the future, if I was to ever think about selling my home, I am contacting him for sure. You will not regret that Ben be the person to represent you. What a fantastic job he’s done.

ALOHA BEN, you are the reason I own a piece of Hawaii paradise!!!!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Bridget Townsend during the purchase of my first home. Being a first-time homebuyer, I had many questions. Bridget was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and responsive every step of the way. The transaction went smoothly and quickly, all thanks to her expertise and hard work.

Bridget truly understands the Hawaii real estate market and provided valuable insight that made me feel confident throughout the entire process.

It’s been several years when I purchased, and she still checks in on me. Thank you, Bridget, for your unwavering support and guidance.

Bridget helped us find our first home every step of the way. Even now when everything is done and over with and we still have some questions or concerns about anything about the house including paperwork she response is a fast and timely matter. She also does yearly meats with us just ti see how we are doing with our new home and Giving us update about our property. I recommend her 100% to everyone who is looking for realtor!!

Cathy helped us sell our old property and also helped us on our new purchase. She is very professional and easy to work with. She was able to sell our old property well over what I originally thought our property was worth. She was also very patient and helped us through an assumable loan process for our new purchase. Cathy is very knowledgeable on what she does and that gave us huge confidence that she was going to find what was best for our family, which she did. We highly recommend Cathy for anyone who’s looking to buy or sell a property and we are surely looking forward to working with her again in the future. 10 stars as a realtor and a thousand stars as a person. Thanks Cathy!

The bottom line is Cathy is by far the most valuable real estate agent I have ever had or heard of! It would literally take a few pages to list 'all the things' Cathy did on our behalf - well beyond buying our forever home which we couldn’t be happier with. The journey began with a conversation of what we 'thought' we were looking for. Given her knowledge and experience, she opened our mind up to different ideas we had not really considered. We spent 9 hours, starting with her picking us up at our hotel, viewing homes in many areas of the South and East side of the island. Months of Cathy sending us video’s of homes she looked at knowing we would be interested. After my home sold in California, we decided to rent in Kailua, and Cathy walked through the rental we wanted and sent us a video. She spoke to the landlord on our behalf, and in less than 24 hours we had a rental. This during the holidays. Her willingness to go above and beyond with 'all the items' that needed attention concerning the house we wanted to buy was really quite impressive. She never took her foot off the gas pedal, never missed a beat, brought lots of things to our attention - like who to contact to check for our cesspool and the hoops to jump through to put in a pool. I could go on. Beyond her hard-working and dedicated spirit, she is one of those beautiful, real, gracious, and generous human beings. She is a gift - no question!

Cathy did an absolutely phenomenal job helping me sell my home. I was in the process of transitioning out of the military and needed to sell quickly, which was a stressful situation. From the moment we started working together, she took the time to understand my needs and circumstances. She made the entire process seamless, guiding me every step of the way and helped me sell my home, FAST. I’m beyond grateful for her hard work and support during such a big life change.

Cathy is the best real estate agent in Oahu, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home on Oahu! We went through a few agents and were getting frustrated before we found Cathy Possedi, and we are so glad we did. Cathy was just amazing as we worked from the mainland to find our dream home moving to Hawaii.

With COVID, we had to tour homes and close on our dream home 100% virtually, and Cathy made it so simple and, more importantly, my wife and I comfortable taking such a big step from afar. The process took over a year and Cathy never gave up helping us find the perfect home on Oahu. She went above and beyond just FaceTime, getting to know our needs, what was important to us, patiently checking every little detail for us since we couldn’t.

Yet it didn’t stop there, she was with us throughout the entire buying process, supportive and connecting us with resources to inspect the home and make us feel comfortable about the purchase. She even knew we were coming in late and wouldn’t have anything in the house when we arrived. When we walked in the door, we had food in the fridge, dishes, pots, and so many of the basics that she went and purchased for us… WOW!

If that doesn’t tell you how amazing Cathy is, after buying the home, a few things came up after the sale with the house, and she helped us to get them resolved, worked with the seller to address and even stopped in to see how things were going, all this a month after the closing. I don’t think you can say many agents care about their clients the way Cathy does, including after closing.

Cathy is like family now, and we were blessed to have her as our real estate agent to help us find our house and support our move to Hawaii.

Christina helped us purchase our new home and most recently, sell our previous home. She was delightful to work with and very professional, pointing out many things to consider as we sold our home, and maintaining an open line of communication during the process. We had complete confidence in her advice.

We would highly recommend Christina to anyone in the home buying/selling market.

Christina was so helpful and knowledgeable she packed enough into a 3-day excursion to find the perfect place. She listened, advised, helped and was there at every turn. She is the person you need and want to find the place that is right for you.

D’Arcy Kerrigan is is very knowledgeable and professional Realtor. I have worked with D’Arcy on many real estate transactions, and she has consistently demonstrated a true commitment to effectively representing her real estate clients very well, and in an honest an ethical manner that put the interests of her clients above her own interests.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with D’Arcy Kerrigan while planning a move from Florida to O’ahu. She was recommended by a mutual friend and what a recommendation it was. First she set about familiarizing us with the real estate market in Hawaii. She sent us numerous listings online after she had arduously screened them to be sure they fit our specifications. We eventually found our "dream house". I flew out to Hawai’i to see it in person. Everything was moving much faster than expected but D’Arcy managed to keep me up to speed. Once we personally saw the house, D’Arcy showed us additional 20-25 houses. She was determined that we were assured that we had seen what was available and had made a choice that we were comfortable. She walked us through a long-distance closing without missing a beat. D’Arcy never stopped even after the house had closed. We did not move to our new home for 3 months. She arranged for many services to maintain the property in our absence. She had an extensive list of references not one of which has been less than stellar. She had stayed in touch to make sure that the people she recommends are living up to her promise. It was clear from the beginning that D’Arcy is someone who is committed to her profession and loves what she does. She went above and beyond what anyone could possibly expect a real estate agent to do. Her dedication begins with the initial phone call and continues long after the property closes, I would not hesitate in recommending D’Arcy Kerrigan to anyone who is looking for a top notch Realtor on O’ahu."

David has been our Realtor for the purchase and sale of our first home, as well as for the purchase of our second home. He and his family have also become our personal friends over the years. David did an amazing job for us- we purchased our first home in 2009; David led us through the process and made sure that all of our concerns were explained clearly as first time homebuyers. He then sold that house in 13 days eight years later. David was simultaneously representing us for the purchase of our current home- helping us to close on both properties on the same day, seamlessly. When the time comes, we will absolutely ask David to represent us again. I can say with confidence that David will always lead his clients through the home buying and selling process with genuine care and knowledge.

We had the pleasure of working with David Buck when purchasing and selling our condo in Ala Moana. As a military member on orders, we had little time to search and close, but David was invaluable in getting the right place for the right price. Same exceptional service from David when we had to transfer out. Cant recommend anyone better to find the perfect home.

Diane Ito was incredible. The buyers threw a wrench into the arrangements by asking to change plans and close early. It seemed impossible to me, but Diane assured me that she and her crew would help with every step. She did exactly that! She helped find a mover, helped with the actual move out, helped to find a place to store a car, even returned my cable boxes for me!

In this review about Coldwell Banker Agent, Diane Ito, I want to say that she gained my trust almost immediately. She was attentive to my questions. She is very knowledgeable and put me at ease as we worked to sell my Aunt’s house. I had never done this before and she kept me informed all along the long process. I would recommend her to friends and family. She is seasoned and knows her stuff. I’m glad we got to work together and I consider her a friend.

Dylan was fabulous! He is energetic, knowledgeable and dedicated. I felt like I was his only client. He communicated exceptionally well with all parties involved in the sale of my property. He went out of his way, taking on tasks that I might have been responsible for, if I had chosen another realtor. I would highly recommend him!

Dylan was an amazing person to do business with. He is actually willing to go for you above and beyond. There are not as many people like him around these days. He is always fair and straight forward. He is willing to help and understands people and what they really want. I know dylan for many years now. He is a great friend and also great business person. Very patient and knowledgeable. I would recommend him anytime for any matter. He will help you find what you looking for guarantee. Also he never leave you after the deal is closed he keeps making sure you happy and following up. Dylan is definitely helpful and nice person who is willing to help others and make things happen for you.

My husband and I cannot thank enough Jason for helping us with the sell of our Kailua home. He is not just an exceptional professional who knows all that there is to know about buying and selling real estate in Hawaii, but he went beyond anything we expected: helped us while we remodel the house, he was always available to check on the house, to recommend people to help us with the remodel, he was patient and always there for us. The deal ended up being somewhat complicated and he was able to navigate the situation, stay on our side and protect our interest. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for a very experienced and kind real estate agent in Hawaii.

Jason and his Compass Team did a fantastic job helping us find our perfect dream home in Kailua. Jason was thorough with all the details, readily available whenever we needed him, and patient to a fault. No item was too big or small to be dealt with. We felt very well taken care of at all times.

Can’t recommend Jason and Compass Kailua enough…​

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jaymes to sell my condo, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience! From start to finish, he demonstrated outstanding professionalism, market expertise, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.

Jaymes made the entire process seamless, handling every detail with precision and care. He provided expert guidance on pricing, staging, and marketing strategies that attracted the right buyers quickly.

Beyond his real estate expertise, what truly sets Jaymes apart is his dedication to client satisfaction. He was always available to answer my questions, provided timely updates, and went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transaction. I never once felt like just another client—he made me feel valued and well taken care of.

If you’re looking for a top-notch realtor in Honolulu who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly invested in your success, look no further than Jaymes.

When you work with Jaymes, you get a calm guide with a sharp eye for opportunities to lead you through a challenging landscape. In addition, Jaymes brings a team of hard chargers who get things done.

When we were trying to sell our condo, we were at the beginning of a dark period in the market - the end-of-year holiday period - combined with shrinking demand due to banks requiring entire building insurance before approving loans.

Jaymes presented us with data about the market’s conditions and different options, such as renting it out, waiting it out, or forging ahead. He shared his experience with some of those options and what we could expect, including the impact on our taxes.

After we decided to sell, he and his team worked diligently from staging to marketing, both online and in open houses. Jaymes tapped his expansive network of realtors to bring in potential buyers.

Jaymes and his team communicated regularly so we were never in the dark, and we knew what Team Song was doing behind the scenes as they planned next moves.

Jaymes also provided a network of professional contractors to make fast repairs/improvements and provide competing quotes. And he supplied friendly document handlers to handle escrow and title.

A critical thing Jaymes did was take the time to spot opportunities for deals. When we sold, it was because Jaymes circled back to the realtor of a potential buyer to ask why the buyer was passing on our property to choose another property. He found out the buyer was willing to negotiate and make a favorable offer. The result was a sale on a shorter-than-anticipated timeline, despite the poor condo market. Thank you Team Song!

I cannot say enough great things about Joanna! From start to finish, she made the entire real estate process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. Her professionalism, knowledge of the market, and attention to detail were outstanding. She was always available to answer my questions, kept me informed every step of the way, and truly had my best interests at heart. Joanna’s dedication, work ethic, and positive attitude set her apart. I felt confident and supported throughout the entire transaction. I would highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a top-notch, trustworthy realtor!

Joanna was so helpful throughout the entire process and was amazing to work with! We appreciated all the time and effort she provided to help us find and buy our home. She was very detail oriented and kept us organized and track through closing. We highly recommend Joanna!

I’ve had a fantastic experience as a tenant thanks to Kimo Smigielski. From day one, Kimo has been incredibly responsive, kind, and professional. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the people he works with. I truly appreciate his professionalism and support. Every concern or question I’ve had has been taken seriously, and addressed quickly. His attention to detail and dedication to creating a positive living experience have truly made all the difference. Living in the unit has been great, and that’s largely because of Kimo’s consistent support and care.

Kimo is my go-to real estate broker on Oʻahu! I recommend him to all my friends and family because of his decades of experience, deep market knowledge, and unwavering professionalism.

What I appreciate most about Kimo is that he’s a straight shooter—he’ll tell you honestly which properties are the best long-term investments based on your unique financial goals.

I’ve referred several friends to Kimo, and every one of them has been thrilled with their purchase. It feels amazing to know my recommendation led them to a place they love and an investment they’re proud of.

Kimo is incredibly savvy when it comes to real estate, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with such an important decision.

Team K2 is the best. Kina, Josh and Jojo, are wonderful people and always ready to help anyone with all their needs. Unique team whom I would recommend without hesitation. Our best friends for life. We wish all the best for Kina

Working with Kina has been an outstanding experience! As a first-time homebuyer, I had several questions about the process. Kina went above and beyond to educate me on every aspect of the real estate market, from understanding property values to navigating the complexities of the buying process. She patiently answered all my questions and provided invaluable insights that made me feel confident and well-informed. Kina’s expertise, dedication, and willingness to share knowledge truly set her apart. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide through this journey from a top agent. Highly recommended!!

After our first meeting with Laurie, we were all in agreement to enter into a contract with her to sell our parents’ home. Laurie was very empathetic knowing that selling our family home was difficult while still mourning the loss of our parents. She took her time and patiently explained the details of the process; extremely patient for we had many questions. For decisions we needed to make, she gave professional suggestions pointing out market trends and comparisons, which helped tremendously. She made herself available, not only in person, for open houses, but also for many conference calls. We quickly received feedback after every open house and potential buyer inquiries. In fact, the final buyer was from out of town and Laurie coordinated virtual tours for the family. Laurie also was very helpful guiding us through escrow, including many conference calls with us to go over the documents and helping to coordinate a mobile notary.

She also was extremely helpful in assisting us by researching and suggesting businesses for us to contact to sell furniture.

We highly recommend Laurie to sell your home or help you buy one. Laurie is kind and has a gentle spirit, very knowledgeable and professional. – Sandy, Cheryl, Laurie, and the Mascoto Ohana

Laurie Chang Murphy is an exceptional realtor. From start to finish she helped make my real estate transaction smooth and stress-free. From booking appointments to fit our busy schedules, setting up inspections, negotiating credits, and overseeing a 1031 exchange, everything was taken care of for me. She has remarkable market knowledge and is very organized. Most importantly she is easy to work with and nice! I thank God for Laurie.🙏🏻

Will’s performance during our Keauhou Condo sale was exemplary, exceeding expectations as our mentor, advisor, and representative. He changed my view of realtors from profit-driven to essential partners in real estate.

Will embodies integrity, professionalism, and genuine care. From our first conversation, he earned our trust through clear communication and transparency. His dedication prioritized our needs, fostering respect and value.

Will’s comprehensive knowledge of the Oahu market, pricing, and negotiation was invaluable. His up-to-date understanding of market trends and local regulations maximized our property’s appeal and sale price.

Will was proactive, communicative, and solution-focused. He led the process with precision, ensuring timely and correct task execution. His negotiation skills secured a successful sale at asking price.

Will’s excellence, deep knowledge, and commitment were crucial to our success. We look forward to working with him again.

Leonie Lam is personable, accommodating, and pays attention to details. She is tenacious in her quest to create a happy and satisfying experience in the journey to finding the perfect fit for each client.

Working with Mike was awesome! I’ve know him for years, and working with him was such a great experience. He was extremely professional from start to finish. Buying a home can be a big, scary, overwhelming experience but it wasn’t working with Mike. He has a spreadsheet that lists out each escrow process step by step with due dates. His response time was almost immediate, and his follow up is impeccable. He genuinely cares for his clients; when the time comes to purchase our next home we will definitely be calling Mike!

We met Mike by chance, when we were driving around searching for open houses one weekend. We were clueless on how to even start looking for a home. He was really helpful and relaxed – not like some other pushy realtors we had met. We had decided to ask him to be our realtor before we even left that property, and we are so thankful for meeting him that day! After reviewing our “wants” and “deal-breakers” he created a personalized listing search to weed out all the properties that didn’t meet our needs. This portal was really helpful in previewing properties to decide which ones we wanted to see in person. We were most impressed with how organized and responsive Mike is. He always responds quickly through phone, text, or email. Mike was very quick to set up showings for properties we were interested in, and very flexible with our schedule. Then after finding the house that we thought was “the one,” he was quick to draft up and submit our offer letter. We are happy to say that our offer was accepted and we now live in our dream home! We couldn’t have done it without Mike - throughout the entire process, he was a source for information and guidance, and made sure we covered all the bases and met all the deadlines. We are proud to call Mike our realtor and also our friend!

Michelle is a fantastic real estate agent and a pleasure to work with. My mother and I hired Michelle to help us buy her dream home and I am so glad that we did. She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and works very hard. We bought our house during a volatile real estate market and Michelle’s expertise and advice was invaluable as she definitely saved us from pitfalls and rejected offers. She represented us very well and helped us buy our home for the best price possible. She is excellent at communicating and always follows through. She also has an outstanding support team-especially her assistant Debbie Tamura, and utilizes them well. But my favorite thing about working with Michelle is that she is a genuinely good person and extremely trustworthy. We knew she wanted the best outcome for our family and it showed in how she executed her plan to buy our house. We highly recommend Michelle Wood.

Michelle Wood is elite in her craft. Her communication, experience, and work ethic are impressive. She will make sure as a seller your interests and concerns are heard and followed up on. I highly recommend hiring her if you are looking for an agent and she is available. You want her!! On your team.

I needed to sell a luxury Condo in Waikiki in the million dollar range and had to do so from the mainland. This was a complicated process as my mother had vacated the property suddenly.

Michelle was the equivalent of “Better call Saul” she orchestrated every moving part necessary to prep the home and sell it in 30 days. (Painting, cleaning, minor home fixes /plumber/ electrician) + Marketing. This also included non traditional tasks such as moving furniture to McClains Auctions house. She meticulously went through all paperwork with me and made sure as her client I could be confident that this large transaction would be smooth.

The home start to finish (enormous amount work) was sold in 30 days.. Full asking price all cash.

Thank you Michelle!!!

Condo shopping with Misti was wonderful & fun. She worked hard 3-4 weeks before we traveled to narrow down our search. Once on island, she showed us the properties we had chosen. Along our search we found one which had gone off the market we were very keen on. She inquired, pursued & we are now the proud owner of our family condo.

We could not be more grateful for having the best Real Estate Agent on our side! We were so impressed with Misti and her team. She took charge and walked us through every step and took the time to care and ALWAYS kept communication open which was imperative for us. She knows the island, the people, and is a wealth of information and resources. Whenever we needed help, she had the connections that helped us through. Misti’s calm and service oriented nature took away the pressure and stress one could expect. We sincerely felt she was there for us and that we had an Agent who was looking out for our best interest…​ and she did. We HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing an Agent for Real Estate PROFESSIONAL Services with no hesitation! Thank you Misti for making this process a smooth and successful one.

Myron and his team were amazing to work with. I live out of state and was helping my mom with the sale. Even with the time difference the communication was awesome. They went over all of our options in a way that was easy to understand and explain to my 85yr old mom. They have an extensive list of vendors that they work with and was able to give us options if we wanted to repair anything before selling. They were never pushy and always made us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend giving Myron and his team a call. You won’t be disappointed! 🤙🏽

I have had fourteen real estate transactions over the years, all using realtors. Team Kiriu/Sasaki are simply the best real estate professionals I’ve ever encountered, and I am certainly glad I found them. From the purchase of my new home and through the sale of my prior home, everything was handled professionally resulting in smooth, drama free transactions. They take phone calls, answer questions, and explain every step of the process. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!

I cannot say enough about Dr. Nancy Chen at Kapolei Eye Center. The difference between my first and second eye surgeries was truly night and day—and it all comes down to the care I received from Dr. Chen and her team.

Dr. Chen is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and make sure you’re fully informed and at ease. But what truly sets her apart—and I do not say this lightly—was the care and attention given before the surgery even happened.

This wasn’t just a one-time consultation. It was months of thoughtful, thorough pre-op care. Every question was answered, every concern addressed. My treatment plan was tailored to my needs, and I never felt rushed or dismissed. That level of preparation made all the difference.

Because of that pre-op care, my second surgery and recovery were smooth and virtually painless—a complete turnaround from my first experience elsewhere, which was very painful during surgery and continued for months afterwards.

If you’re looking for a doctor who goes above and beyond and truly cares about your outcome from start to finish, Dr. Chen is the one. I’m beyond grateful.

If you are looking for a thorough and professional ophthalmologist then Dr. Chen should be your choice. I have never had a more thorough exam for my eyes. During which I was advised that she discovered that I have glaucoma and cataracts, both of which I was never told about but has been present. She also performed eye surgeries for both of my eyes removing two different pterygiums that others did not want to handle, which resulted in the correction of Astigmatism in one eye, and improved vision in both. I am currently being treated for my glaucoma and I am glad she is the Ophthalmologist treating me.

Nathalie was amazing to work with! As many of us do, I was selling my home in the midst of some stressful work, personal, and location changes. I couldn’t have asked for anyone more supportive and understanding. Not to mention that she had a great sales strategy and we sold for a great price.

ighest praise and much gratitude for Nathalie! We called her into this last minute whim to purchase a condo, and she jumped in without hesitation. Natalie was our advocate throughout the purchase, dealing with the sellers, sellers' agent, escrow company, home inspectors, and financial institutions. She kept everyone on track to smoothly complete our new home purchase.

Natalie was so easy to work with! She and her team kept everyone well informed, explaining complicated processes so that they were easily understood. At times we were in different time zones, but her amazing communications skills made it all work! She was quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns.

Nathalie is professional, reliable, and a great resource in all things real estate - and Hawaii! If you’re thinking about buying, do not hesitate to call her.

We found Pam through Zillow, and are so fortunate to have the right agent when buying our home in Hawaii. She was so knowledgeable and experienced, and helped us find the perfect home in an extremely competitive market last year. She helped us through every step of the 1031 process - introducing us to a real estate attorney, connecting us with a mainland real estate agent to sell our exchange home, and linking us with loan and title companies as we purchased our Hawaii home. Pam’s dedication and professionalism made our experience an enjoyable one. Highly recommend her to be your next agent!

Getting to work with Pam as our realtor has been such a blessing. We met her as a realtor- now she is our friend. She helped us get our Oahu dream house (which was an ordeal in itself!) but the house needed major repair, and the seller did not want to fix it. So while we were across the ocean, she 100%, by herself, coordinated the repairs to the house, going there every day for months to check on progress. Something she had no obligation to do - but she did this because she is an amazing, kind, and caring person. I would recommend her over any realtor on the planet. Thank you Pam!!

Absolutely the best realtor in Hawaii. Very informative, patient and knows the island like no other. We love our home and it’s all because of Patrick.

Patrick Chandler did an excellent job of helping me sell my Hawaii condo. He coordinated with the property manager, the condo association, and the current tenant. I was 6-hours away and Patrick contacted me when it was convenient for me. When I was out of the country, he contacted me on my time zone and by the means that were most convenient and cost-effective for me. He was ALWAYS available to call and answer my questions and he provided pertinent information as soon as he received it. He guided me to make the best decisions with professional advice, while never coming off as pushy. He marketed my condo very successfully and had constant showings. He took care of details and made calls on my behalf, when the property management company was dragging their feet. His social demeanor with the tenant ensured they were more than willing to let him show the property anytime and that they made the property presentable for showings. Also, Patrick was able to juggle multiple offers, sort through the credible ones, and get me a sales price that was ABOVE the asking price!!!

I would work with Patrick again and I highly recommend him to sell your property. He is professional, prompt, organized, friendly, and extremely experienced.

Paul is a great realtor with excellent knowledge and personal skills that made buying real estate in Hawaii easy and reliable process! Highly recommended!!

My experience with Paul was great, he drove me around and found the right place for me, enjoying island life today!

Scott Larimer was amazing throughout the process of buying our new home in Honolulu. He was very patient with showing us properties during several different trips to the island, always available and responsive. He is very knowledgeable about the market and was an amazing advocate for us during the period of negotiation and "due diligence" on the property. I could not recommend him more highly!!

Scott Larimer is an agent extraordinaire! The sale of my property was fraught with complex and complicated issues. Scott was patient and transparent with all communication and successfully brought us through an extended escrow process. I would enthusiastically recommend Scott Larimer for any real estate transactions.

Sean Sonoda was such a pleasure to work with and he made our process of selling and purchasing our property so stress-free. His professionalism and warm demeanor made us feel so comfortable during this challenging time in our life. I would totally recommend Sean to anyone who is interested in purchasing or selling a property. He was very thorough with his explanation about all of the forms that needed to be signed and he made it easy to understand each step of our process. Sean was very quick in responding to us about any questions we had. He really took good care of us and really demonstrated care and patience when resolving any issues that we encountered. Awesome Job again Sean Sonoda!!

Warm Blessings, Shane and Keri Goo

Sean helped us find our home while we were still in Florida and made the move process easy. He then helped us sell our home when the time came. We recommend him to anyone that needs someone dedicated to them and looking out for their interests. Sean has gone above and beyond to help us in our real estate transactions

The staff at Sue Ann’s State Farm agency are not only professional but also extremely knowledgeable about insurance. They take the time to understand what their clients needs are rather than selling or pushing services. They care about their clients well-being and have a passion to ensure that their clients have the best insurance.

What truly sets this agency apart is their commitment to customer service. My friend and their team are always ready to assist, whether it’s answering questions, processing claims, or providing advice on how to protect my assets. They make the often complex world of insurance easy to understand and navigate.

If you’re in need of insurance , I highly recommend reaching out to my friend’s State Farm agency. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to customer satisfaction are second to none, and I know you’ll be in good hands.

We worked with Jo, In this office. Fast, friendly, and professional. Would definitely recommend this State Farm office.

Working with Ted has been fantastic from start to finish. He has gone above and beyond to be there for us in this property-buying process. He was consistently responsive, even when he was in Japan for a short trip, when of course the property we ended up buying came on the market simultaneously. Ted’s wisdom, experience, tact, genuineness, and helpfulness really stood out to my fiancé and I as he helped us buy our first property! We really felt like we were in good hands throughout. What’s more is that Ted was great with personalizing our experience. He helped us get what we wanted and needed in the buying process while checking in and making sure things felt authentic to us. We 100% recommend working with Ted!

Ted explained everything in great detail before we signed the contract and kept us updated every step of the way. He was always available to answer our questions. He went above and beyond making sure our unit was in tiptop shape, making suggestions as what he thought should be changed or repaired. He guided us in pricing fairly and got us top dollar within days of placing it on the market. His staging was minimalist, elegant and effective.

We had the privilege of having Tiare represent us as both a buyer’s and seller’s agent. My husband and I began looking for a house for our family early this year and we needed a realtor we could trust. The first step was to sell our condo first so that we could make an offer on a house, and upon Tiare’s recommendations, we found a rental, moved out and completed renovations for our master bathroom to hopefully secure a better price. She staged and marketed our unit beautifully and we received an offer over asking, a mere two days after the open house! We believe this was because we followed her advice! We couldn’t have been happier with the offer. We also appreciate how quickly she was able to line everything up to put our condo on market, without wasting any time.

Tiare knew what it took to secure the best possible price for our condo: timing, negotiating, staging, etc. She was responsive and a top-notch problem solver. We were impressed with how she was able to foresee and point out different scenarios for us, and navigate us towards the best possible outcome.

We looked at many properties all year long. She researched every house we liked. She answered every question that we had and if there was something she didn’t know, she made sure to find out and got back to us within a day or less. We liked that she wasn’t afraid to share her honest and tactful thoughts on each property. It was clear that she wasn’t just trying to find us a place, secure a deal and move on—she cared about working together with us to make sure we found the right house for our family. It’s an emotional decision to find a house, with lots of disappointments and ups and downs, but she was able to keep us on track.

We soon found a house that we loved. It checked all of our boxes. The timing could not have been better—our offer was accepted the same week that our condo closed. Tiare was with us every step of the way during the escrow process. There were challenges along the way, and many moments where we nearly decided to walk away.Tiare went above and beyond in working with the seller’s agent, even when she was out of the country on a trip. Thanks to her efforts, we were able to get a good price. This is why it is SO important to have a knowledgeable realtor working with you on these transactions.

We are now proud homeowners and we are so excited to move into our new home. Thank you, Tiare, for being the best realtor we could ask for!

It was a pleasure to work with Tiare. She represented the buyers for my Kaneohe listing. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She is very attentive and she goes the extra mile to meet her clients' needs. She is a go-getter and she will make things happen for her clients. I highly recommend Tiare!

We feel very fortunate to be able to work with Tracy to purchase our first home. Tracy is very knowledgeable about the real estate landscape and trends on the island. He listens to our preferences and needs, gives honest insights/advice, and is very thorough. We also appreciate his frequent communication with us throughout the different stages of the process. As first-time homebuyers, we anticipated a huge learning curve, but Tracy made the experience much more manageable for us. We love our new home - a big mahalo to Tracy! We highly recommend Tracy for your buying/selling needs.

We have worked with Tracy on two purchases, and we will surely come back for our next! Tracy is an exceptionally knowledgeable and hard-working real estate agent. He will work for you early in the morning and until late at night to sort out issues and to advance the transaction as quickly and thoroughly as possible. He responds to questions almost instantaneously.

Tracy’s performance builds on 20+ years of experience and a remarkably large professional network. There doesn’t seem to be anyone (of significance) in the Oahu real estate ecosystem who doesn’t know him. We highly recommend Tracy to anyone.

Working with Valentina was truly exceptional. Her deep understanding of Hawaii real estate market and the entire process of buying and selling homes, including securing loans, was evident from the start. Valentina’s ability to listen attentively to my needs and concerns set her apart. She is very responsive, knowledgeable and resourceful. What truly impressed me was Valentina’s unwavering commitment to going the extra mile without expecting anything in return. Her honesty and straightforwardness, even when delivering challenging news, were a testament to her integrity. Collaborating with her transformed a transaction into a delightful experience, solidifying her as both a trusted realtor and a cherished friend. I highly recommend Valentina to anyone seeking insightful and comprehensive real estate guidance. Her expertise, her exceptional listening skills and dedication to her clients, make her an invaluable asset. I will continue to recommend Valentina to friends and family.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Valentina Haberman, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service and expertise she provided throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the closing of the deal, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and dedication that truly sets her apart. She ended up selling our house - and it was the most expensive house in the neighborhood- all because of our amazing realtor!
