I'm the President of Honolulu Hawaii Realty and recently called Hawaiian Properties Management with a few questions. Jarrett, the manager, had his staff member Christian return my call promptly while he was away from his desk. Christian followed up right away and provided clear, helpful answers. He was courteous, professional, and efficient. Hawaiian Properties Management truly respects responsiveness--something that sets them apart from other management companies that can take days to return a call. read more

Seriously does anybody actually work there? I've been trying to get a hold of Brett Loy and he is unresponsive. My dues are paying his salary and he's working for me and my association. Terrible customer support. read more

I have been living in a building for several years that Hawaiian Properties, Ltd. manages. The communal washer and dryers, which the company is responsible for managing, have had issues on and off since we moved in. The main issue is that the machines are just off and unavailable for use at random times. I email and leave messages but no one ever gets back to me or addresses the issue. My property management company for my unit has worked with them as well but the issue never seems to get fully resolved. I would be wary of every dealing with this company. read more

I have been trying to follow-up with Prop Mgr Keith K. for over 2 weeks and just get a voice mail. He has yet to even return any call. Very unprofessional! The receptionist although polite and nice takes many rings before answering (sometimes). When you do get forwarded the line gets cut off. This business is definitely lacking as one of its main objective should be to satisfy their customers. Not timely returning numerous calls is a huge minus as it's so aggravating. Management definitely needs to correct this weakness. Maybe because the private unit owners are at the HOA mercy of its managing company, Hawaiian Properties could care less to concerns of the individual unit owner. Hopefully not all Hawaiian Prop. managers are this irresponsible and inconsiderate. Having just one is a bad reflection on the entire company. read more

Always super responsive, and helpful, whenever i need something --- this is sooooo important and helpful as an owner of one of the properties they manage read more

Merry Okuma responses my request very fast. I am happy with service. As we all know, PM sometimes takes a while to get responses back!

Very fast and interactive. I sometime wait for a day or more for an email response previously. In this case I got response as soon as the business day started and got responses immediately almost real time. I appreciate the service. read more

Non-Responsive Managing Agent, I tried to get a hold of the individual going back to 4 Feb 2026 with no response to email or phone voice mail, it's now 8 April 2026 still with zero communications. When you call the front desk 808-539-9777 they refer you back to your non-responsive Managing Agent. Continuous loop of nothing. I understand why this company has such a low rating Yelp rating. UPDATE I reached out to the Hawaiian Properties President Jarrett Walters for resolution. He responded in under 1 hour that he would look into this right away. He is a great customer focused manager! I raised my review to 3 stars because of his prompt response. Jarrett if you are reading this, thank you sir. read more

Terrible communication. Issues were addressed on the phone and promises were made. However, if you don't keep on them and follow through, there will be no progress. I had to call countless times and spoke to several people. It shouldn't be this hard to hear back from someone and get issues fixed. read more

It's actually NO STARS!!! This company is a joke. They are very unorganized and never in their office. They also have a high turn over rate. read more

AND WE'RE BACK with now not 1 unit with a portable A/C but TWO that we can see and another unit that installed a whole window unit. As I'm sure there is way more units that have them in their units because I've seen multiple portable A/C's by our trash can and even the boxes in the trash can. So there is way more people in the building that has them. Let's also add at the fact that our trash can is supposed to be inside of our pool area because there is always dumpster divers and even people throwing their trash away in our trash. There is a lady that walks from around the block to throw her trash in our bin??? Emailed Charles in February... no response. Emailed again in May actually responded in a day. THEN claims our house rules don't say anything about not having portable A/C when it's clearly NUMBER 23!!! And now not only unit 10 has 2 portable A/C, unit 3 also has a portable A/C. And now unit 6 has a WINDOW A/C INSTALLED!!! Don't ever rent or buy with Hawaiian Properties!!! read more

See all

The 1111 Wilder access keys were changed and they never gave utilities company the right keys in the lock box. The building managers does not respond to messages or take orders from owners or the board. It takes days to get them to respond. Someone need to fix the telephone and call box because it's been broken for three weeks and people are missing mail & food deliveries. Please fire our building manager. read more

Um the worse customer service here. Called multiple times prob about 20 times Friday and Monday. No one picks up. Even the operator has an answering machine. The 1 time the operator picked up it sounded like I woke her up from a nap! Is this a legitimate business cause it's almost as if no one is working there. read more

No can Hawaiian Properties. It's a brand new building and it's seems your staff were not prepared for the task. I may be wrong because decent help is hard to find but if the situation is overwhelming then maybe the company should take on work that they can handle. read more

Merry Okuma was very prompt, efficient and helpful in her response. We sent several emails back and forth because I needed clarification. I appreciate her kindness in replying right away during her busy work day. read more

I would just like to start off with that Faith and Leilani are both extremely helpful! They are fast in assisting right away, just downright super friendly! Anyway, my billing issues have never been resolved this quickly and it's thank to them. read more

I changed banks and spoke to a very nice young lady about switching my automatic HOA payments to my new account and, because there was plenty of time for the switch, was assured that the next month's payment would be taken from my new bank. That didn't happen, and it has caused me a lot of problems. I have been calling and leaving messages for SOMEONE to get back to me to no avail, although someone did call me from a phone marked "Private" which my phone automatically rejects. Why do I, a customer, have to chase to get a call back? Think I'll tell both banks to not pay...bet I get a call back pronto in that case! I rate them -10! read more

Does anyone even work here?!!? Ive been calling and writing emails for the past 3 weeks with NO RESPONSE!! Ill get a generic email response of "someone will be in touch with you shortly" but NO ONE EVER DOES!! I got lucky ONE TIME when calling and I get an "agent" on the phone - when I try to call back because the information he gave me was WRONG - guess what - OF COURSE he will not pick up again!! Geeeez - no surprise there!! This company is a JOKE!! read more

Terrible property at 1555 Wilder Ave. Don't live on the first floor if you don't want to hear every dropped item, cough and step of the tenants in the top floor. Aside from the building they manage and the lack of disclosure prior to move in, they allow additional tenants, smoking and disturbances during quiet hours, etc. I felt very trapped living there and when they listed my unit vacant even though I was still paying rent and hadn't moved out yet, they put a target on my back. There was at least two attempted break ins. They offered no help and refused to remove the listing until I left. Police report filed. Thanks a lot! read more

I've lived in Punahou Circle for 10 years now and have there have been 2-3 different companies managing the building over the years. Jason Marbeiter from Hawaiian Properties has by far been the best property manager we've had. Both he and the resident manager "E" have made sure that any issues that come up are handled quickly and professionally. read more

No one answers their phone and emails are not replied to in a timely manner. Seems like their turnover is high, always dealing with a different employee. read more

I've left a message, sent an email 8 days ago & no one even gets back to you! Very, very bad service! They shouldn't be in the business they are in if they can't return messages! They don't even deserve 1 star! read more

They NEVER pick up their phone, so you always get transfered to an answering machine. If you are lucky, they might return your call in a few days. But with limited options, what choice do we have? read more

I am having the same problems as Becky R. I recently bought a condo that Hawaiian Properties manages. I have reached out to them on three separate occasions with questions, and have not received one phone call back. read more

This propert should not be in the business, specially the property manager from 1919 citron street. They posted a unit, which we are interested as some of our family lives nearby. So I tried on their given number and every time they let me know its still available, they transfer the call to the property manager. But she never receive the call or never return any of the call request. So much unprofessional behaviour from this person. Somehow my husband able to finally contact with her, We applied and then again called her that we applied. No hearing after that! My husbad is really a patient person, so agin he tried repeatedly and then the manager informed that they have someone in their mind. What's the point of posting some rental property then never receive call. And took the application fee unnecessarily of you already have some approved application. Funny thing they still have that listing on their website. This company will not lose any chance to get application fee from the people! A very cheap, thrid class rental company who does not have any courtesy of returning call, or treating applicats respectfully! I will suggest them to go back to basic manner course! Learning manner will not cost much! read more

1 star as they don't go below in to the negative where this so called company belongs. If you call them you are forwarded and forced to leave a voicemail message. They never respond back. If you email their customer service you wait for days or never receive a response. Then they make promises to handle the situation and nothing happens. I am trying to get a simple Surepay application processed which I submitted 6 weeks in advance thinking this should be no problem but after numerous attempts with phone calls and finally with their email customer care I received a response that my application was received and still in review! I would probably think I should just forget it and send a personal check but then you risk them losing that or not posting to my account. This is the WORST company I have ever dealt with and warn anyone thinking of buying a condo here in a building they manage to be prepared for much stress and frustration. read more

Hawaiian Properties handles our HOA and distributes checks etc. of the HPA's behalf.  I have called Hawaiian Properties in an effort to correct an error in the checks they are distributing four times and left four messages but they have not responded once.  I sent an email to them regarding the problem and they did not respond.  I sent a letter with tracking to them which shows they received it, but they have not responded.  This has been going on for over there months.  This is a shoddy, poorly managed business and if I could give them less than one star, I would. read more

This company has minimal stars for a reason. They don't answer calls. Their responses in emails do not come across kind or friendly. Half the time the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Not sure what we are really paying them for.... There are better companies out there, for sure! read more

Beware. This is a poorly run Property Management Company. They managed my 6-unit apartment complex in Kailua Kona. For about a year we endured their chaos. We made so many complaints they finally quit. Thank goodness for that! During this time, we faced a complaint from Hawaii Fair Housing as the manager had allowed bogus tenants to move-in. This was an expensive matter to settle as we needed an attorney to handle. The lease forms they used were obsolete and had little protection for the property owner. All leases needed to be rewritten to cover these loopholes. Hawaiian Properties had managed for the previous owners. During this time they failed to oversee the operation of the solar electric system. After about a year we managed to get the solar electric systems functioning properly. The rents were not collected properly. The manager allowed tenants to pay rents late without any penalty. In conclusion, do yourselves a favor and skip this management company. Otherwise, you can look forward to plenty of trouble and expense. read more

Unbelievably poor and unprofessional service and rude and lazy employees. The city should shut them down.

Poor customer engagement. They act like they are property overlords when in fact they should be customer oriented. I pay their salary when I pay my HOA fees. When you bring an issue to their attention they sweep it under a rug and blame you. No customer service and no responsibility for the poor performance of their employees. read more

Trying to call them no one answers the phone also emailed them no answer! Charging me late fees when I always pre pay my maintenance fee!! Also the date that they claimed O didn't pay bank had already cashed my check per my statement, so I did I get charged with a late fee is beyond me!!! Plus I have been there over 10 years!!! read more

They must be busy as heck because they don't answer phone calls nor do they return calls but when they take action, they come through with flying colors. I tried calling all day and only got their voice mail. Then, I went online to ask for help and was told that my problem could be solved by just contacting them. I said really, that's fine but I can't get anyone to pick up the phone. I said I have been trying all day! Well, by the end of the day, all my problems were resolved, nice!!! read more

RUUUNNNNN!!!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! I completely agree with every single 1* review and I too would give this company 0*,S if that were an option. THIS IS THEE WORSE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY WE HAVE EVER DEALT WITH! I am really disappointed that THIS is the "property management" company that our association has chosen to use. What a HUGE waste of our money!!! Do not expect them to answer their phones or emails unless it's the 10th one you've sent. If there is an issue, they don't want to take care of it but when they decided to respond, they make it "your" problem in the process of rectifying the situation. read more

They manage the HOA association of my building. It is so full of incompetence it is not even funny. How are they even allowed to be in business working the way they do? Their management is so incompetent it is glaring for all to see. Promoting & making HOA expences like there's no tomorrow knowing how expensive life is already for us living here in Hawaii. In just 12 months, our HOA fees increased 2 times. It went from the $700s to $800s then to $1000s. They are hiding behind the so called Maui insurance nonsense to get away from stealing from homeowners. While families are struggling to feed their loved ones and keep a roof over their heads, they are consciously and deliberatly choosing to spend funds on unnecessary projects, like beautifying paint jobs ir other works that are non emergent and could be delayed to give homeowners a break. They offer no plans of helping homeowners safe money during these difficult times. An example could be making it an option for members to either choose to physically participate in community space cleaning/upkeep or pay for it to be done with increase in their fees. This way, families who can, will have the option of volunteering their time and saving on finances which can reduce keep their monthly HOA fees somewhat affordable. Instead, they advocate for random increases inconsiderate of people's living conditions which are driving families to the brink of poverty. Such practices are contributing to pricing homeowners out of their own properties for the rich Americans who don't have to struggle as much to make ends meet. It is time that someone looks into this one sided lavish power control that HOA organizations continue to benefit from. read more

This company manages our commercial building property with 14-units and let me just say... they are horrible to work with! In the past they overcharged us for water usage (by thousands!), the property looks like shit, someone damaged and broke into the mailboxes and stole mail, and the exterior fence, building and the roadway is unkept.... I could go on to list more but.....seems useless since it will not fix any issues! They recently sent us a 'statement' showing past due since 2023, the new statement shows a different amount... I tried to clarify what all the charges were for but no one returned calls or responded to emails. It's like a NON-EXISTENT PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY ... sad! If you're looking for a property management company, don't go here. I personally don't think they care too much about the businesses and people they 'manage' read more

I almost took a shower this morning. Then I remembered who I'm dealing with. Once again, just coming by the office of Hawaiian Properties to drop off a rent check. They view their tenants as lowlife scum and don't let us in the office. They also don't answer the phone. So, like I have nothing better to do on my day off than hang out in their **** hole garage and get treated like it's 1930 and I'm a black guy in Mississippi, I'm tweedling my thumbs next to their garbage dumpster. If they actually have a rat's *** about the people who pay their salaries, they could at least invest in a drop box! read more

As a vendor/ service provider it has been a horrible experience working with this firm. I completed work for them over three months ago and cannot get them to return my emails or phone calls and have yet to be paid. read more

I don't know whether the woman at this company, Teri Richards, is a blur due to her age or is purposely not answering our questions, but she has not returned my security deposit after two months, even though I have contacted her about 20 times demanding that it be returned promptly.Isn't it time to retire? They falsified the checklist when I moved into the apartment and are charging me for repairs to equipment that was originally broken. Even though, on the contrary, we didn't even clean the apartment when we moved in. This company is really terrible. I will never forgive this person and company until I get my security deposit back. I hope the upper management of the company sees this assessment and takes it seriously. read more

Please DO NOT rent from them or use them as your property manager. They do not answer emails, calls, nor offer any services that are deemed "professional". Their communication is subpar to say the least, it is very frustrating! This new kid, probably a transplant from California, Brent Hasvord, sounds all cheery and attempts to "help" you. However, when you tell him your problems at your property, he says he has a "meeting" and will get back to you. He also gives you his manager's (Michael Vosh or something) contact information, an email, that goes unanswered. After attempting to contact him for DAYS, IF NOT WEEKS, the trail turns cold. Sheeeeeeesh! My 3 year old cousin could do better at answering phones. I see all the poor 1 star reviews and you do too! You should avoid them while you can. Also, their public relations on Yelp seem to be pretty good? They answer more frequently than their phone/email lines. Their "business customer service" representative answering these Yelp reviews will probably respond to this with an unoriginal message but HEAR ME BEFORE YOU READ THEIR "RESPONSES"! Avoid Hawaiian Properties LTD like the plague, avoid like them like the coronavirus cuz ain't nobody got time for that in December 2021 going into 2022. Pau alreadyyyyyy go back to California! read more
