Brandon Sakata IS THE BEST!!!!! He is professional, thoughtful, a great listener, and an excellent problem solver. He leverages his extensive relationships throughout the real estate community to set his clients up for success. Brandon recently assisted us with the sale of an investment property during a slow condo market. He helped us navigate potential pitfalls and devise a clear strategy. His research was invaluable, and having him as a resource was truly priceless. Throughout the process, he worked closely with our tenant to ensure they were comfortable. He coordinated with vendors for photography, built a strong social media presence, and gathered the necessary information to host successful open houses. Thanks to his efforts, we received several offers above the asking price within a week. Brandon takes the stress out of managing all the moving parts. He kept us informed every step of the way, building a level of trust that exceeded our expectations. He is now helping us with a new purchase, and we couldn't be happier! I highly recommend having a conversation with him to see what he brings to the table. read more

Brandon is "the Best Ever."

A huge "MAHALO" to him and the Compass Team. read more

Great effort and dedication even if took longer than expected, much appreciated the professionalism and support.

Brandon Sakata is a concierge realtor. I wish that I had a physician like him, one who listens carefully to me, who takes the time to learn who I am and what I want. I had had a bad experience with a realtor group that represents a developer. They had dismissed me as someone who did not have the financial wherewithal to buy a Honolulu condo. They were wrong. But that motivated me to check Yelp for a highly rated realtor, and that is how I found Brandon Sakata. He instantly responded to my call. He spent an hour on the phone listening to me while I explained what I was looking for in a condo. I was moving to Hawaii but I had a lot to learn about Honolulu and the real estate market. Brandon met all my needs for a real estate agent. He was truly "my agent" in all respects. Because he knew me and my preferences, he ran a search that brought up only those properties of potential interest to me. After viewing in person only three properties, I found one in record time, despite being very picky. But he went beyond that, translating the inspection report so that I had a clear idea of the repairs that needed to be made. He gave me the names of plumbing and electrical contractors whom I could trust to get the work done competently. This was especially important to me as someone who was relatively new to Honolulu. He sent me a complete copy of the closing documents along with the condo welcoming package. Brandon Sakata even helped me identify an expert in Medicare so that I could make a smooth healthcare transition. Am I special in the sense that Brandon Sakata would not do the same for another client? The answer is no. He extends himself for every client and that is what makes him a great realtor. He is worth every penny of the service he provides, and he reaffirms the value that we get when we use a realtor of his quality. read more

Definitely recommend Brandon if you're looking for someone who knows their stuff and makes the process feel way less stressful. read more

We recently sold the house my wife grew up in, it was a very emotional time as we had hoped to keep it for future generations. Unfortunately, we decided it was best to let it go and close that chapter of her life. We started looking for realtors and came across Brandon's page. He had so many great reviews so we decided to give him a call. From the very first meeting, Brandon was warm, friendly, and very compassionate to our situational needs. He understood the emotions my wife had about having to sell the house she grew up in and he took great care ensuring that this was not just another sale for his records. He did everything for us every step of the way. Things were going so smoothly that we at times felt something has to go wrong, but it didn't. Words cannot express our sincere gratitude for everything Brandon has done for us. After our home was sold, he gifted us with a beautiful painting of our home. We will cherish it forever. Brandon is a true gentleman that lives life from his heart. Thank you Brandon, you are one of a kind! Stan & Jackie read more

Brandon truly puts the client first as he was just a text away with all our questions and concerns.

He will be our family realtor for years to come. read more

I met Brandon through an affordable home lottery which fell through however, he was so easy to work with that we reached out when we wanted to actively look for our first property purchase. He was very patient and had an initial meeting to go over the process which was very helpful. He helped with suggested places and set up all the viewings for any properties we wanted to look at. He let us look at each property and gave us his professional opinion but never pushed us in any way. He even told us to not rush on choosing a place which didn't seem like what a realtor would say. Once we found a place, he always checked in and let us know the status. We ran into some hiccups but he was always reassuring and honest with us. I recommend Brandon because he's an honest person who won't try to push or sell you on anything. He truly wants you to find the property that you want. read more

I was thinking of selling my apartment and had gone to a friend of a friend initially to get a quote on how much my property was worth. Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed with the outcome of that meeting, so my brother referred me to his realtor, to which he had nothing but great things to say! I emailed Brandon I believe on a Friday night and to my surprise he responded right away. He set up an appointment to discuss everything a few days later and it was NOTHING like the meeting I had with the other realtor. Brandon was prompt, very professional, and organized. Not only did he research how much my property was worth, he made sure to compare the other properties around me to make sure we priced correctly and prepared a spreadsheet for me to breakdown the cost of everything and my estimated profit if we sold at the suggested listing price. As we were going over specifics he mentioned that I wouldn't even need to clean the place once I moved out because he would hire a professional cleaner and pay for it on my behalf. I don't know if this is something he does for every client, but as a single mom that was seriously the most amazing thing ever! There were also a couple of things that needed fixing in the apartment, which he handled for me as well as getting me the best price possible. Brandon has exceeding every single expectation I've had going above and beyond to help me sell my property. I love how quickly he replies to emails or texts and he's very friendly and easy to work with. My experience with Brandon was so much better than when I bought the property to begin with and made me wish I had known him sooner. He is definitely the person I will go to for any future real estate endeavors and I will be recommending him to all of my friends and family! read more

I can't recommend Brandon enough! He was with us from day one of our home buying journey, and let me tell you, it was a long one. Brandon always took in to consideration our preferences and never wasted our time showing us places he didn't think we would be interested in. He even put up with all of our constant texting and questions, even on his days off from work. We could really tell it wasn't just about making a sale, he really wanted to establish a friendship with us and for us to love the home we were buying.

We met Brandon through one of our friends, and didn't realize he would become a friend of ours as well.

Soon after the sell we were able to begin the exciting part of home hunting. We had specific wants for our potential forever home, but wanted to stay within our budget.

We are first time home buyers, so you can imagine how scary it is to even think about purchasing. Brandon Sakata made it seem so easy and got us through everything smoothly.  We didn't even know Brandon at the time and he agreed to help us. He made sure that we stayed on track. He kept us updated by sending us different home options and checked up on us each time.  Once we selected some options, he set up some showings and we chose one on that first day. He then even assisted us with a loan officer, who also kept us on track.  Even after we finalized everything, Brandon checks up on us from time to time. He also gave us a beautiful house warming gift to get us started on our journey. We will most likely ask Brandon for help in the future when purchasing a house. We will also be sure to offer Brandon's service to others who are looking into purchasing a home. read more
