We TOTALLY lucked out getting to work with Dan Ishikawa and both of us (my husband + I) are convinced we would not have been able to purchase, let alone purchase the perfect house, without Dan. Unbelievably patient with knowledgeable guidance to help us figure out what / where / how much because, and poor Dan, we came to him definitely scattered: I mean I thought I wanted to live in an oceanfront yurt! (that's still kinda my fantasy even though I am filled with hot flashes and demand a/c) Dan worked (literally) 'round the clock with us (us being in the middle of the continental US) via email, text, phone, and video, accommodating our semi-luddite access. He drove up-and-down the coast checking out houses, extensively videoing them, all with a very practiced buyer-centric eye: we felt as if Dan 100% had our backs, pointing out good, bad, fixable, walk-away-from. We've an adult child who will be moving with us who is multiply, Profoundly disabled, and even though that is not Dan's personal lived journey he then viewed every property through our myopic Accessible lens which was, as you can well imagine, a *huge* gift to us. Through Dan's gentle, totally unjudgmental questions were we able to winnow and with that, within an hour of what would ultimately become our house hitting the market Dan reached out to us and my very quiet husband literally yelled "BUY IT!" And with Dan's terrific experience and lots of boots-on-the-ground time we did just that. My husband and another of our children came over for the inspection and Dan really showed them around, pointing out things which would have taken us a long time to learn on our own, if ever. Dan also volunteered to drive w-a-y down the coast to pick up supplies for us so when we arrive (next week!) the house will already have essentials, plus he's shared with us just so many resources, resources we'd've had zero way of independently getting. We have bought + sold many houses throughout our relationship and can genuinely say we have never had such a positive experience as we have working with Dan Ishikawa. High recommend. Highly.

As someone who works in the real estate industry among hundreds of agents, I can say this; Dan Ishikawa is the very best; uniquely a cut above the rest. When making one of the largest purchases of our lives, Dan delivered professionalism, soft-spoken kindness, patience, and a breadth of knowledge during our semi-complicated fixer purchase on The Big Island.A We were out of state, so we depended heavily on Dan for boots on the ground service in our absence. With our trust in his advice and opinions we went into contract sight unseen, via video walk-throughs and daily conversations. By the time we actually met in person before closing, I felt like I knew him for years. I'm thrilled to have found him through a referral, we lucked out big time. And just as a bonus, it turns out he's going to be our neighbor. If I could give 10 stars I would, thank you Dan.

Dan Ishikawa is a gem! If you haven't chosen your agent yet, you have just found him. We have worked with Dan for about three years at a distance through a subdivision process and sale of three lots. Dan worked hard for us. He referred us to the right professionals, guided us through the subdivision permits, water variance, and driveway construction. He was always available for questions. He helped us contact county officials, navigate bumps in the road, and kept things moving forward. His advice, guidance, and negotiations through the three sales were top notch. He was easy to reach, quick to respond, and always upbeat. We have been exceedingly appreciative of his help and grateful that we had the foresight to choose him as our realtor.

Dan was an absolute rock for my wife and I while purchasing our home in Hawaii. He had our backs in every respect, and all advice he gave was always in our best interest. He has integrity of the highest caliber, and was always ready to advocate for us to the seller's team, bank, anyone. Other people we met in the home purchasing process like the seller's agent and the escrow officer all remarked to us, unprompted, how much they enjoyed working with him. He genuinely seems to care about his clients happiness and clearly takes pride in what he does. At times during the stressful process of buying a first house 3000 miles away, he felt like our only lifeline to our future, and he never let us down or left us feeling confused and abandoned. Anyone that works with Dan has our guarantee that you won't regret it, he may just be a man but as a real estate agent he is a hero.
