We had a fantastic experience working with Shari in both buying our first home in Hawaii and selling our previous one. Her attention to detail was exceptional, coordinating everything from remodeling to landscaping to ensure our home was ready for sale. She skillfully navigated the process, making sure we stayed on track and minimizing stress during a busy time. Thanks to her efforts, we were able to sell our home within the tight timeline we needed. We really enjoyed working with her, and getting to know her. After this whole experience, our families have become life long friends. And thats how Shari is, she cares about you and the well being of your family first and foremost. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled real estate agent!

Shari has been my realtor in the purchase and sale of my home in Hawaii. She maintained contact with me over 5 years between the 2, always willing to weigh in on the impact of an alteration to the house. She is the literal gold standard when it comes to being a realtor and earning every dollar she made with us. If you're looking to have a partner who will calmly navigate every rough scenario, from unexpected maintenance to recovering sales that almost fell through, Shari is your realtor!

Shari did an outstanding job managing the sale of our home. Her expertise in the local market and expansive network of contractors enabled us to prepare our home for sale in order to attract the highest bidder. Her professional demeanor and expertise was vital while combing through multiple offers during our first and only Open House. I have never witnessed a house sell so quickly and over asking price. Shari was always available to provide updates and status checks throughout the process even with an eleven hour time difference due to my overseas move. I highly recommend Shari Hooks for any future real estate transaction as either a buyer or seller.

BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT ON OAHU!!! BUYER OR SELLER!!! ""Going the extra mile" is almost a cliche today, overused, and doing little to convey the real extraordinary effort by those professionals like Shari that truly deserve the mantle. From the moment we contacted Shari about the sale of our property, she was incredible, communicating, coordinating, and ultimately, completing the sale with better care than most people would give their ohana! Being in the military, my wife and I were stationed out of state. When we decided to sell our condo we reached out to Shari immediately, since she helped us purchase eight years ago. She immediately began coordination with the property manager, community manager, and tenant - all while keeping us continuously informed despite the six hour time difference. She worked with the existing tenant to expedite repairs and prepare the home for listing. Some of the repairs even required coordination with an adjacent neighbor, whom Shari personally contacted and worked to get us reimbursed. When our property management company was holding up parts of the process, Shari was our "man on the ground" that worked with them directly to keep things moving. When the property was listed, Shari kept us apprised of the interest and participation at the open houses. When the sale wasn't immediate and my wife and I started debating whether to lower the price, Shari recommended that we stay the course for a little longer, and sure enough, the next day we received a full price offer! During the contract process, Shari continued to keep us informed and guide us through the many steps and organizations involved. As a side note, the contracting process is almost as daunting as the sale itself. As a seller, especially a first time seller, you worry about what will come up in the inspection, if you missed anything in the forms, try to figure out which organization does what, and what is really important. Having a knowledgeable, accessible, and preemptive guide is incredibly helpful for easing the process and reducing the stress. Shari was that person for us every step of the way. The best way I can think to summarize what Shari meant to us as our real estate agent is that she is the highest standard of the profession. Her initiative, verve, communication, knowledge, and guidance are what every buyer or seller looks and hopes for in their agent. We were lucky enough to have her represent us twice! If you're looking for the best agent on Oahu, Shari Hooks is that person!
