Michelle assisted me with choosing the right list of properties to look at before even arriving to Oahu. In about a week of intense searching, we were able to find my ideal home. Michelle was very patient with me trying to make a perfect choice between 3 ideal ones ( after looking at about a dozen properties ). We made sure I found the best lender for my home, just in time for me to move in before my temporary lease ended. Throughout the process, Michelle and her team were in touch with me on almost a daily basis; I was surprised that she was able to address some of my concerns before I even voiced them.

The Airbnb property on the North shore was not properly shown in its pictures. The stairs are…read moredangerous and the bathroom is on the first floor. The only way to access the bathroom is by the stairs and those are a bit scary at night. The AC was off and the unit was hot. It took a while for it to cool down.

We ended up leaving mid stay on day 2 to a better place that was clean and well managed. We lost $1500 from this stay and we won't be reimbursed for any of this. This is how they hook you into the so-called contract.
