She had great suggestions for staging our home, proactively sought feedback from potential buyers and their agents after open houses, and worked hard to help resolve unexpected challenges along the way.

Laura Fleming and her team were absolutely amazing! We were on the fence about selling our first…read morehome in Hawai'i. That home was so special to us, and selling it was not an easy decision. Laura came highly recommended by our property manager, who had managed our home for several years--and now we know why. Please check out my review for Hawaii Pacific Property in Kapolei if you are looking for a good team to manage your home. From the start Laura was professional, organized, and extremely thorough. What stood out most about Laura was her empathy. She never pushed us to sell but truly listened and supported us through the process. Although we had exhausted all the options to make it work, I still had hope that somehow someway we could keep our beloved home. When we finally decided to sell she made a great personable presentation. Her presentation included clear charts, graphs, and market comparisons that made the process easy to understand and gave us full confidence in her strategy. Costs were upfront from the beginning. We were also in the process of purchasing another home on the mainland and had interviewed several realtors--and no one matched the caliber of Laura and her team. Their professionalism, communication, and genuine care set them apart. The communication was outstanding. We were notified every time someone viewed our home, and we received weekly email updates on how many times our listing had been viewed online, what homes sold in the area, . Laura personally called my husband or me every Monday with updates, and her team sent weekly seller reports with clear next steps. Everything was seamless, using DocuSign, Zoom, and other digital tools that made the entire process smooth and stress-free, even while we were on the mainland. We are so grateful to Laura and her team for guiding us step by step and making this sale such a positive experience. Highly recommend if you want a team who is professional, compassionate, and reliable!

I initially contacted Team Lally because Chat told me about their Guaranteed Sale Program, which…read moretheir website promotes as a way to sell your home quickly -- or they'll buy it. The website makes it sound straightforward and gives the impression that you can confidently move forward with purchasing another home. I mentioned this directly to Alesia Borja (MRP, SRES, PSA) before our Zoom meeting. As a listing partner with those credentials, I expected her to understand the program and explain how it works. Instead, the meeting turned into a long one-hour listing presentation, and the Guaranteed Sale Program was not discussed at all, even though that was the main reason I contacted them. Her follow-up response was that she would "connect me with the broker for clarity" and that the program is not designed for sellers who want a home sold in 30 days. That felt like my question was sidestepped rather than answered. Adding to the confusion, my husband listens to Adrienne Lally and Attilio Leonardi on their Saturday morning radio show, where they consistently say that "if they cannot sell your home, they will buy it." That messaging is very clear, yet the explanation I received suggested the reality may be much more limited. Because of that, the Guaranteed Sale Program felt more like a marketing hook to draw people in rather than something clearly explained upfront. Pros: Organized general listing presentation. Cons: The Guaranteed Sale Program, heavily promoted on their website and radio show, is not what it appears to be. Despite this being the main reason I contacted them, the program was not discussed at all during the meeting. Adrienne knew I already have a realtor, who would facilitate my purchase while Team Lally would sell my home, yet the program was still sidestepped. No follow-up has been received.

A special thank you to Ms. Leian and Ms. Marysol for the thoughtful and sweet gifts--we truly appreciate your kindness and generosity. Also, a big shoutout to Ms. Evalani, who ensured all our documents were organized and submitted on time. Her responsiveness and attention to detail didn't go unnoticed--kudos to her!

This is more than a transaction; it's a relationship built on trust and support. I am glad I attended Leian real estate education in Fort Stewart and now I owned a piece of paradise. Highly recomend.

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.

Our real estate agent Jay works out of this Locations - Kapolei. We did majority of our…read morepaperwork/signing here which was very convenient for us. BUT This review is for our agent, Jay Vea of Locations Hawaii. Let me just start by saying he is so AMAZING. I am not being extra or sugar coating.. he really is! Jay is professional, honest, hard working, pays attention to detail, and everything you need your real estate agent to be. As my husband would say, he is a hustler. Lol. We had connected with Jay about 3 years ago through another agent. Here's our back story summarized: I've dreamed of a single family home for our family to grow in, AND I wanted to make it happen before I turn 30 years old.. which seemed almost impossible in Hawaii. Back in 2018/2019, we planned to buy in 1-2 years but we made it happen in less than 2 months. We found got a pre-approval from our lender, toured a property and made an offer all within 24 hours. 2 months later and we were officially first time home buyers/owners in our very first home, a 3 bedroom townhouse in Kapolei. Some call it crazy, but I say it's all in God's perfect timing. Jay was a fairly new agent that year and had assisted our previous agent/his mentor during our transaction. Fast forward to 2021.. we lived in our townhome for about 2 years. Unfortunately and fortunately for covid, the home values were rising like crazy!!! It was a sellers market and I felt like it was a great opportunity to put our townhome at the time on the market and upgrade to a single home. We NEEDED to take advantage of the low interest rates and crazy market. I was interested in North Park by Gentry, which was one of the of new home builds in Ewa Beach. I knew that we would have to sell our home and use that equity for our next home. If you know anything about Hawaii's real estate world, you'll know how crazy competitive it is. We planned to put in for the North Park lottery, but knew we would be 1 of possibly 150-200 applicants, and each month they would lottery out a mere 4-5 homes. The good thing about the lottery homes were that they were set in price, depending on model. Our Plan B was to buy a home outside of the North Park build. We were well aware that we would have to over bid and compete against everyone else. Jay was very thorough in explaining out options and gave his expertise opinion in which way we should move forward. He always told us that ultimately, decisions are up to us and it is for our future. I never felt overly pressured, which was great. We ended up selling our townhome (making about $150k in profit from owning it for 2 years) and then offering for few homes in Kapolei (not North Park), and one of offers was accepted. Jay worked alongside our loan officer Matt Casamina from House of Finance, and they all made it happen for us. They went above and beyond to make our home buying process went quickly and without a hitch. Jay did the whole 9 yards and then some. From preparing our townhome to put on the market, going over offers, necessary paper work, signing, touring North Park, touring other homes, late night and early morning phone calls, zoom meetings and everything in between. Jay was there for us and that meant everything to me. Jay really knows what he's doing. He was very thorough, communicated well, and made sure we had all our sh*t together, and our transactions were on point. I won't say it was perfect, and there were many times I had doubts, but Jay reassured me along the way. Jay communicated really well, he was available or always got back to me in a timely manner. He arranged our home inspection, termite inspection, document signing, final walk through, and finally delivery of keys. Jay maintained communication with us throughout the process, day after day, month after month. One of my favorite things is that he has a vibrant personality but is also down to earth and relatable. During our time spent together on the phone, emails, touring homes and everything in between, we built a friendship that will last a lifetime. I am forever thankful we ended up with Jay as our real estate agent. I recommend him to my family and friends looking to buy or sell a property in Hawaii. Currently, I am so happy with our home and I think I am good and won't need to buy or sell a home for the next couple of years or so.. maybe? LOL. But I will definitely call him if/when I ever want to sell/upgrade or buy an investment property. Jay is like family now and will always be my go to real estate agent. He uses my family as a testament to show how it is possible for young people to buy their own home in Hawaii and building wealth through real estate is the way to do it.
