Royal Realty's Michelle Lum changed my bad luck with property management and showed me that…read moreexperienced and professionalism still exists in this industry. She genuinely cares about her work and makes her clients a priority. After 3 months of vacancy, I switched PM's and hired Michelle to upgrade my kitchen and find tenants for my house. She understood the sense of urgency and with every conversation, she gained my trust and respect very quickly. With her extensive experience, she offered valuable insight, fiscal resolutions, preventative maintenance strategies, and went above and beyond my expectations, which is hard to accomplish, considering I am a PM and Realtor myself. She is intelligent, efficient, compassionate, and detail oriented. I am truly blessed to work with her and grateful for everything she has done for me.

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. There is no balcony, so the unit felt very confining. Please do a better job at the description of this unit as we felt deceived. I won't stay here again. I give this two stars just for the location. 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.

My Ala Moana unit had been thoroughly cleaned and in excellent condition before it was rented out…read more last September, I hired SC Realty Hedi Barrett as my property manager. At the beginning, her service was satisfactory, which led me to place a great deal of trust in her. However, when the condo was returned to me, it appeared clean only at a glance. Upon closer inspection of the stove, washer, dryer, shower walls, and toilet, I found that the unit did not meet the level of cleanliness expected from a professional service or what would be appropriate for a new tenant. On April 17, 2026, I and Hedi met at the unit. She had already entered before I arrived. After a brief walkthrough, we spent most time to discussed the April rent payment, which I had still not received from her company at that time. Although she spent considerable time explaining the delay, the overall experience with her service has been disappointing. As a result, I had to spend the entire weekend cleaning the unit myself. I documented some of the issues with photos and videos, including the dirty stove and sand and dust under the couch. Unfortunately, some images of other areas (such as the shower walls, washing machine, dryer, and toilet) were not saved. I will be contacting her company's broker to seek resolution. If the matter is not addressed appropriately, I will consider filing a complaint with the relevant licensing authority. I regret that this situation has caused significant frustration.

I had to call the tenant assistance hotline: they called back the next day!

Had a great upfront experience and conversation with Gill Mara about a few of the rental property…read morelistings posted by RedFin. Overall he was courteous and incredibly responsive via email and online inquiry. A few of the rental properties weren't available for immediate showing, which I understand, but Gill did a great job at scheduling me for the earliest dates and times. Unfortunately, things quickly turned when Gill began asking for a (maybe refundable) deposit prior to the official showing date. A rather large deposit amount may I add. I just didn't like feeling pressured into putting money into a rental property that I hadn't seen or experienced yet. Ended up withdrawing my interest due to the pressure.

Time and time again, Associa Hawaii never disappoints in being a mismanaged company. I agree with…read morethe Yelp reviews. Since we moved to Honolulu, when I call about issues, I rarely get a call back. I have to keep on calling until I get an answer. When I do get someone, that person sounds lost. Getting customer service is like pulling teeth. Why hire someone for "Customer Service Supervisor" when that person does not know how to handle customer service at all? When I contact the office, I usually get an attitude (it sounds more like a reprimand) about getting the annual coupons. The positive point lies in their responding to emails. Albeit the staff responds slowly. However, within the past year, Associa started to hire some people who did care enough to respond quicker. I give that person a star. But other than that...

II have never experienced such rude and unprofessional service from a company. When I called the…read morefront desk to ask where I could submit a formal complaint, the receptionist told me she needed the property address and the name of the person the complaint was regarding. I provided the information, and she gave me the name of someone who had already been copied on previous emails but had never responded. I then asked who I could contact above that person. The receptionist told me there was no one above her. I replied that this could not be the case, as she is clearly not the president of the company and must report to someone. At that point, the receptionist told me, "I am not here to listen to your grievances." When I attempted to clarify that I simply needed the name of the appropriate person to contact, she interrupted me, said she had another call to answer, and placed me on hold. I told her that I was not trying to share my grievance with her--I only needed the correct name. She then hung up on me. When I called back and waited on hold again, she answered. I asked for her name, and she responded only with, "How may I direct your call?" When I repeated my request for her name, she hung up on me a second time. I find it unbelievable that a company of this size provides such poor customer service and continues to operate this way. Homeowners pay substantial management fees and should not be treated with this level of disrespect.

The guest parking is small but the resident parking is ample, although some are tandem stalls. Side note: They post a sign during the Punahou Carnival weekend that you cannot park in the guest parking to attend the carnival!
