    Janis is AMAZING! I've never done a yelp review before but after buying my house I felt I needed to. We were interested in buying a house 2 years ago and Janis contacted me when I was requesting information on some properties. But the timing wasn't right for us. We stayed in touch and when we decided we were ready, we contacted Janis. I thought the house buying process was going to be stressful and overwhelming but she made it sooo easy. She explained everything to us and was always very responsive to my many texts of questions. Thank you so much Janis. I will definitely recommend you if I know anyone who is buying. And we will for sure be using you again, should we ever decide to sell or buy again in the future!

    I want to thank Janis for all the wonderful and hard work that she has done to get us into our first home. She reassured us throughout the whole process. We faced many ups and downs, lost bids, but it was well worth it because we are finally in a place that we can call our home. Even after the closing of our house, she has made it known that she is still available for us when we have questions. She will treat you like her own family and make sure that everything is perfect during your home tours and before you get your keys. If you are in the market to buy or sell, Janis is the one for you. We will definitely be referring her to all our friends and family and utilize her again in the future.

    Truly the best of the best! I have sold and purchased a home several years ago with another realtor and it has never gone as smoothly as the purchase with Janis. Let me count the ways... 1. So so responsive! Responds to emails, texts, or phone calls so quickly! She's never kept me waiting. 2. Very Punctual. Never late. I was the late one . She was always there well before me with all the windows and doors opened and ready to view. 3. Super organized and transparent! She developed an Escrow Transaction Timeline and updates/resends accordingly. Also, educated me on each milestone and was able to answer all my questions! 4. Encourages collaboration and communication. I had a lender that I wanted to use and she was able to develop a smooth working relationship, which I believe helped strategize and strengthen my offer. 5. Does her research! She helped me obtain historical data on the rentals and sales of the home I was interested in. As well as any other info I needed, she was able to get the answer... and she got it quick! 6. On top of it! She always checks in with me and sends reminders of upcoming dates and what to prepare for. 7. So patient! I have been on the fence on whether or not I was to buy a second property to live in or rent out. It took me a year to finally make the decision. During that year she has been so kind, patient, and respectful in waiting, yet keeping in touch and sending me listings. 8. Loved the wonderful pamphlet of information on what to do next after I received the key to my home. It was tailored specifically for my purchase... had my name and the property address. What a nice touch! 9. So thoughtful! Something I thought was real sweet was that she parks at a further distance from the home you want to view...she arrives at the property earlier than you, so that she can scope and advise you where to park. 10. Basket of goodies was a bonus! My kids ate that up super quick! I'm sure there are many other things that I may have missed. But these are the 10 things that stood out to me the most. Janis~ I really appreciate everything you have done to help this process go smoothly as possible. You are truly the BEST of the BEST! We are so blessed to have found a realtor that we can confidently work with and share with our friends and families. Thank you Janis! We appreciate you so much! We will definitely stay in touch for any future purchases or sales! Mahalo!

    Shout out to Janis! We can't thank her enough for all the things she did for us. She literally made everything smooth and efficient. Especially as a first time home buyer. It felt daunting at the beginning but she was able to encourage us and made it happen. Janis, we appreciate the time you spent helping us navigate the process! #alwayscominginclutch Sandra&Mark

    I can't thank Janis enough for her patience, support, & belief in us getting our first home! We started with knowing absolutely nothing in how to get our first home but she guided us the whole way from what we should do to get where we wanted. Not 1 second did she doubt our ability to purchase nor judged us for not knowing where to begin. If you are a first time home buyer with no guidance I HIGHLY suggest going to Janis! She was very encouraging especially with all the bumps in the road we faced. It is definitely a stressful & unknown road when buying a home but Janis will be there with you every step of the way. Also her communication was very effective. Not one moment did we feel rushed and she went with our timeline and readiness to buy. Thank you again Janis for all the hard work you put into getting us our home! & for helping us find a place just right for my family

    Janis is the BEST! My boyfriend and I started looking for a place sometime last year, and we were interested in the home lottery. As a first time homebuyer, we didn't know what to expect, but Janis was very informative and guided us in getting qualified. She is fast and would send out any notifications about any lottery releases we may be interested in. She's very responsive and was able to answer all of our questions in a timely manner. She also educated us about the process of purchasing a resale house as another home buying option. We kept on applying for months, and along the way, Janis was so encouraging and positive, which kept our spirits high. And then after receiving the best phone call from her, everything happened to fast, and we ended up with a home we love so much in Ho'opili. We can't thank Janis enough for everything she has done for us. She's very knowledgeable, informative, and made our home buying experience very fun and positive. Thank you so much for your help Janis! Kings and I appreciate you so much!

    Our cute gift from our realtor! So bougie and thoughtful!!!

    Thank you Janis for helping us with our first home purchase! She made the whole process smooth as it can be, especially as first home owners, we didn't know where to start! She answered all our questions and was there for us at every step. We will be forever grateful for her! Definitely recommend. We can't wait to use her again in the future

    Janis gifted us with this beautiful sign and wine. Mahalo Janis!

    Janis helped us through every step when we purchased our new home. She's also very reliable and responds immediately which we loved about working with her. She's awesome!

    Sarah V.

    Janis is truly amazing!! We had no idea what to expect when buying our first home. She walked us through every single step and was by our side every step of the way. After no luck with our many lottery entries, we expressed interest in trying for homes on the market. She took us off running and we didn't waste any time. She broke down what we can expect and gave her expert opinions on everything. She's so pleasant to work with and always on top of things. We are so glad that we trusted Janis to find our perfect first home.

    Brandon C.

    Definitely recommend Janis to be your realtor! She made the whole process stress free and and easy. She is always open to answer all questions you may have even after you have purchased your home! Janis brought her A game and was able to secure us a unit asap. Without her this wouldn't have become a reality for us so soon. We are truly grateful to have had such a great first time home buyer experience because of Janis! We will be recommending her to all our friends and family and will be definitely contacting her for any future real estate purchases!

    Shayna G.

    It doesn't get any better than Janis!! Being first-time home buyers, we were overwhelmed with the process, but she made everything smooth. She is very knowledgeable, approachable, and quick to respond. Thank you for helping us reach a milestone in our lives!!

    Mary Grace E.

    Janis is an awesome realtor and would definitely recommend and use her again. She reached out to me as soon as I made interest in realty. She lead me to the right people to get the house searching process going such as mortgage lenders. She encouraged me to try for a lottery in a new development that I never thought I would be living in but now love and happy to be living with my husband. We can't wait to make so much memories. She made the process of home buying easy. She always checked up on me and always willing to be available for any questions I had. She responded in an appropriate time frame.

    Mary P.

    We met Janis a few months ago when we were first thinking about putting our home on the market. As of today, we are happy to report that we sold our condo after receiving multiple offers and a quick closing. Janis is friendly, patient, and always just a phone call away to answer any questions and ease your worries about the whole process. Buying/Selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions someone can make so it's important to make sure you have someone you can trust by your side.. We definitely recommend Janis as your Realtor!

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. That where Sissy Sosner came in, she actually called another realtor to help my sister, The other realtor drove to my sister house to help her, Now that what I call customer service. She did pretty much everything to make the transaction very easy. I highly recommend her if you need a realtor. Aloha, Derek

    Renter Beware: Avoid This Property Management Company…read more I rented through this agency for over 4 years, always paid on time, and left the apartment in better condition than when I moved in. Despite this, they withheld most my security deposit and tried to charge me for furniture that was never even provided in the unit. This wasn't an isolated incident of poor service -- I had requested replacement curtains after mine fell apart, and it took the agency over a year to follow through. Communication was consistently unresponsive and unprofessional throughout my tenancy. What makes this worse is that I now own a rental property myself. Having seen how this company treats tenants, I would never use them -- not as a renter, and not as an owner looking for a property management company. They seem far more interested in squeezing every dollar from deposits than treating good tenants fairly. If you're considering renting from this agency, think twice. And if you're a property owner considering hiring them to manage your property, look elsewhere.
