My good friend referred me to Sissy . Some day she will be moving back here to Hawaii. 2023 is the time to buy real-estate. Because of the interest rate is higher, people cannot afford the mortgage. In 2021 & 2022 there were a bidding war on any property you were interested to buy. Not anymore for 2023. Found a nice Condo, got $50,000 off asking price. Closed in 2-months. Since my sister lives in Las Vegas, I did all the negotiations, her job was to wire the money and sign documents on her phone, apparently because she not a Tec person she doesn't know how to sign the legal paperwork and send it back to Hawaii.

Tim Tengan stuck by us through thick and thin as we searched for our home. Through pregnancy, job…read moreloss and indecisiveness Tim was patient, understanding and always willing to change strategies. My husband and I jumped into buying a home. We decided to show up at random open houses hoping that we would recognize our perfect home when we walked through the door. No such thing happened. We went to an open house on a Sunday in Pearl City and met Tim as he readied the house for showing. We were the typical first time wannabe home buyers, critiquing the paint, the flooring, the sizes of the room and the state of the appliances and bathroom. Tim talked to us and immediately zeroed in on the important stuff: what were we looking for? What is important to us, location or size of the home? Were we looking to remodel or were we looking for a place that was move-in ready? Tim's personality gelled with ours immediately. He is genuine, trustworthy and has a more "local" personality for our taste. He wasn't pushy at all and after speaking to us asked if we were working with a particular realtor. We asked if he was available. He did warn us that in the real estate market, houses move fast. He does his due diligence in getting the latest homes on the market and letting his clients know immediately when they're available. He has even driven clients on their lunch break to see a home! When we started working with Tim we were newlyweds. As we continued our search we found out we were pregnant. Tim continued to scour the housing market for homes that fit in our budget (a never ending fluctuation as we considered our finances) and was not disheartened at all when we told him that we wanted to see something in the 250K and below range. When baby came we took a hiatus from our search and Tim would still contact us periodically to see how we were doing and if we were ready to roll. Through the arduous process of home ownership Tim has seen us through even the roughest times (2 weeks from getting our keys and my husband lost his job). If you are looking for a realtor who will work with your best interests in mind, I highly recommend Tim Tengan.

She patiently answered my questions, walked me through the entire process, listened carefully and helped ease my worries every step of the way. She connected me with my loan officer and always knew who to pair me up with to make the process seamless. Pam consistently showed up and checked in on me, making sure I never felt alone or overwhelmed. She was there for my walk-through and on key-receiving day, which meant so much to me. Her insight and expertise on walk-through day helped me look for things that I would never have thought of or considered, which is helpful when purchasing a new home.

Her guidance, reassurance and steady presence made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and even exciting. She was patient with me and never made me feel as though any question or concern or even emotion was silly. Pam is knowledgeable, responsive and genuinely cares about her clients. She doesn't just do her job, she supports you, advocates for you and sees the process through from start to finish.

Kyle is an amazing real estate agent, property manager, and all-around great guy. When we…read moreunexpectedly found ourselves moving to Hawaii, we realized our best option was to buy. Within a short time frame, Kyle was able to show us several incredible properties in our price range--and he got both of our offers accepted in the highly competitive market of 2018. After enjoying some wonderful years in our condo, it came time to move. We initially worked with a different property manager, but later switched to Kyle--and we are so grateful we did. The level of care and professionalism he brought to managing our property was outstanding. As owners, we always felt he had our best interests at heart, and we trusted his advice completely. His extensive network of contractors made repairs and remodeling work simple and stress-free. Most recently, when our situation changed, we turned to Kyle again to help us sell. Even in a very slow 2025 market, he secured us an excellent offer--well above our expectations--closed the sale in half the average market time, and ensured a smooth process from start to finish. We are extremely grateful to have met and worked with Kyle, and we recommend him without hesitation--100/10!
