Like someone…read moreelse wrote in their review: "Their professionalism is unmatched, especially their care for details." I couldn't agree more. I worked with another real estate agent before Joe and the difference was night and day. Not only did I need to sell my Hawaii property long distance, the market at the time was challenging and the apartment building was scheduled for repiping. But Joe and his team came through every step of the way. From the beginning, they provided a clear break down of costs vs. expected actual net profit and offered various options for marketing packages. Finally, when my unit sold, they provided weekly updates of the current timeline till closing. If you're still reading this, just take one meeting with Joe and you'll know.

From the very beginning, Patrick's professionalism and personalized approach set him apart. His wealth of knowledge about the local market is unparalleled, and it was clear he was in tune with the latest trends and listings.

He was quick to respond to my questions and concerns, which made me feel like a top priority. His dedication to personalized service is evident, as he has helped more than 250 families find homes on Oahu, and you feel that experience firsthand. He is also a master negotiator. I never had to worry about a thing because Patrick handled all negotiations with the seller on my behalf, securing an excellent deal for me. I wholeheartedly recommend Patrick to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He truly has your back.

We rarely write many reviews, but Celester Thomas (Principle Real Estate Broker) and Erika Richards…read more(listing agent) earns it. We received a VALPAC Ad for SOLDIER-TO-SOLDIER HAWAII REALITY, LLC and contacted Celester, who was kind enough to review our rental home although the renters had several months left on the lease. Once the renters moved out, we had the property thoroughly cleaned, with necessary repairs completed. Celester had the property professionally photographed and listed literally within a few days after notification in early March 2024 of our intention to sell. It closed at the end of May 2024. Most of our communication was with Erika. She always kept us informed of everything - all the showings, inspections, parties of interest communications, escrow info, etc. We had many many questions which she answered or found the answer timely. Memorable events: The SOLDIER TO SOLDIER HAWAII REALITY, LLC is a solid company. We needed to find someone to professionally line the kitchen cabinets & drawers. Laurie, the photographer, helped us tremendously get that done. About one week prior to closing, the buyer (who was a realtor) sent the Home Inspection Report. The buyer sent a document to sign stating: "The buyer is willing to approve /release/ satisfy 3-1 for the SELLERS CREDIT OF" $6,500 for the noted finding." Really? The findings were mostly minor things like toilet base loose, bathroom shut off valve leak, need for "missing GFCI or AFCI outlets", etc. Although we were ready to repair, Celester knew the cost was over-inflated. We do not know what he did, but after a few days, the buyer sent a Waiver-of-Inspection Report document via DocuSign. We knew right then and there that Celester and Erika were representing the seller and protecting our finances. The following is not a fault of the Realtors, but our opportunity share a Title company issue. We didn't see the Title Guaranty of Hawaii, LLC Escrow - Estimate Seller's Statement until the afternoon prior to closing! If would have been good to review it to have time to question some of the charges that we thought should be for the buyer. We did call Title Guaranty immediately, but of the items of question were essentially already set for closing. The Sellers Final Packet was sent after closing the next day. The Final Packet line "Balance due TO seller" differed by over $146K TO seller than the Estimate Seller's Statement! We were happy to see that. LESSION: Insist escrow share the Estimate Statement at least a week prior to closing. In summary, Celester and Erika (both prior service Veterans) both exemplified military values of professionalism and pride in their line of work. Especially noted was honesty and prompt attention to our needs. They KNOW and DELIVER exemplary customer service. We saved thousands and thousands by contracting with them, plus they gave to notched service to us. We recommend Celester and Erike and their SOLDIER TO SOLDIER team to anyone! God Bless America!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my realtor, Pam Maeda…read more From the very beginning, Pam truly believed in me and my dream of homeownership. 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. If not for her, I would have overlooked defects or flaws that I didn't know to look for. 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. Thanks to Pam, my dream of homeownership became a reality, and I am forever grateful.

And then retaliate charging for normal wear and tear of a house falling apart. We have pictures too. Shameful No damage was done on the property, as stated on the invoice this is normal wear and tear. Also this is a two unit property shared garage cans. With another tenant who also used the garbage cans, where we even helped our senior lower unit tenant dump her garbage the day we moved out, And when we moved in the cans were full and we had to request it to be removed. We have emails showing the cans were full and removed with rental company. Returning property as it was found, no damage done to the property. Normal wear and tear on the invoice and some are not even real. Duck tape so rodents don't go in the house.. wear and tear! And all health issues gone since moving out Security deposit can not be deducted for no damage and just wear and tear, as seen on invoice to the property. The towel bar was like 40 years old! Sean and Cathy can kick rocks with slippers on. Extremely unprofessional and unethical.

Their team was in contact with me basically everyday from the initial calls to viewing, step by step they explained everything, and anytime I had questions or needed recommendations they were always there to answer. They work with the purpose of supporting you, and communicate so well between each other and the other key people it takes to close on home, that within a month or 2 I was signing and handed my keys!! It's been about a year since then, and I'm so thankful to them for being there and basically holding my hand through the whole process. I'll be sure to contact them again when the time comes! Thank you Sean and Raullen!!
