We just bought our first new home from Puka. We could not be happier. From start to finish Puka is always available to answer any of your questions. It is so reassuring to work with her. Having grown up on the island, she knows the island like a close friend. She is highly knowledgeable about all the details of different subdivisions in all areas of the island. She is down to earth and truly emanates aloha in all that she does. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. Puka is the one to walk by your side on this very important journey. We had our own challenges with the process and she kept us afloat until we reached our goal. We are so glad Puka was our guide that confidently and unwaveringly helped us arrive at our destination. She is top notch. We are delighted to be moving into our beautiful home. We had a long journey to find the right home at the right price, including all the details. We are over joyed and highly recommend her. Mahalo, Puka. We are so grateful. With aloha, Kristal and James Wisnom

I worked with Trinh to find an investment property on the Big Island. Trinh was immensely patient to work with me to find a property, show the place via a video call and make a video link for us to share with other investors. Trinh gave us the necessary information and honest opinions about the place (whether small or big, good conditions or need an upgrade, ect). Her experience with the local rental market and investment properties helps us understand the questions and concerns. I have met other realtors who I usually faced with unprofessionalism, impatience, and money-driven without your rights as a buyer in mind. Meeting Trinh was like finally being able to find a right person that we can trust. With the rising interest rate, we decided to pause the purchasing process. We definitely work with Trinh again and will recommend her to everyone we know.

My experience working with Tehani was fantastic to say the least. She was very responsive and helpful in the whole process. Being a first time homebuyer I was nervous but Tehani made everything smooth. Tehani crushed it and looking forward to working with her in the future!

Tehani was a delight to work with and she helped us navigate the closing process on the island. We came in for a short vacation, found a home, put in an offer, and successfully closed in just over 30 days. Im beyond grateful for Tehanis help with the entire process. She even recommended contractors and helped us navigate a lease for the garage apartment. I can highly recommend Tehani as an all-inclusive agent!

Puka is without question the best realtor we?ve worked with - and encountered many on Oahu. We were first time homebuyers, and she constantly went above and beyond our expectations - answering every single question about the process, finding or recommending services. She communicated with us regularly, giving us updates about what was going on in the process, and contacted us immediately if action was needed on our part. She was a strong advocate for us during the whole process and beyond. She truly embodies the spirit of aloha, and we absolutely recommend her!

Run dont walk to contract with Kelly Valenzuela for your real estate needs. I was blown away regarding the service and attention she exhibited during the listing and sale of my property in Kona, HI. It was seamless. Kelly did much more than was expected and was hands on throughout the process. I live in Texas so everything was handled long distance without any complications. I highly recommend Kelly. She knows her stuff and was able to negotiate an incredible deal on my behalf. Sincerely, Ann Thacker - Houston, Texas

I was interested in purchasing property in Hawaii and reached out to Lailan for help. She was very responsive, thorough, detail oriented and knows the market and HI real estate law inside and out. As a first time buyer, she also went out of her way to help me understand the process and was there to answer all my questions. She helped me create a competitive offer and submit it quickly for the property I wanted. When there were multiple offers on the table, she negotiated and advocated for me - and my offer was accepted! From offer until escrow, she and her team was professional, helpful, cheerful and very responsive. She reviewed all the documentation alongside me, asked clarifying questions and updated the documentation. She and her team scheduled all the inspections and walk throughs and answered any questions I had on the inspection reports. She helped negotiate fixes and other aspects of the purchasing process. Lailans honesty, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the market, practices, and empathy made this a wonderful experience. I also loved that everyone on her team reflected those qualities. I loved working with Lailan and her team and would absolutely recommend her to and hope to work with her again!

Lailan Bento ?We were so lucky working with you the second time after we bought our primary home. My husband and I want to thank you, Kelly and Puka helping us completed the current transaction. We are so happy for getting this property that has beautiful ocean view and beautiful sand beach. Thanks Lailan for the spent extra time and effort working with 1031 exchange agent until in the end the transaction went successfully. I also special thank Lailan standing up for us when things were getting unpleasant. With her excellent service, Lailan understands Hawaii Law and regulation very well, and she always does a good job above and beyond to insure her client?s happiness and satisfaction. We felt much better being protected and trusted by you and your company. You are the best agent because of your professional services that you provide. We trust Lailan and absolutely would work with her again in the future

Tehani is by far the BEST REALTOR Ive ever worked with. She listens carefully and instantly knew what we were looking for. She patiently took us through many homes on the Big Island and we finally decided to build our own house on BEAUTIFUL oceanfront property. Tehani dealt with a crazy homeowner and a realtor who was downright rude with grace and courtesy. She is truly a beautiful person inside and out. Im lucky to have her as my close hoaloha in our new neighborhood!
