This review is long overdue as we recently celebrated our 1 YEAR anniversary in our new home, and…read morestill can hardly believe it's ours! Our experience buying our very first home was such an enjoyable, positive one. We know the Lord provided every part of this blessing, and that included Devin! From our very first meeting, nothing was left to chance! Seeing real estate prices only go up year after year, my husband and I knew we needed to start looking to buy a home for ourselves. The thought of it was intimidating and seemed far within our reach. We started casually checking out open houses every Sunday, and it was at one of these open houses that we met Devin where he was showing a client's home. Although he wasn't our agent (yet) he was so easy to talk to, and educated us with so much useful information in the short 10 minutes we spoke. Now fast forward to the open house we looked at right after his. Although this house was out of our price range, it was more like a curious viewing for us. We loved it so much that we ended up leaving... then coming back to look at it again the same day. At this point we realized that the next time we came upon a home that we liked so much, we better be ready with an agent, which we didn't have yet. Called a few people... but didn't feel the connection. Kept thinking back to "that really nice guy" at the open house, Devin. We gave him a call, and in a couple days were sitting across from him, signing papers and he was showing us TONS of available properties online!! Devin was the BEST agent we could have ever hoped for. He exceeded our expectations in every way: 1) Comfort Level: he's so easy to talk to, ask any and as many questions and was always so, so pleasant. I tend to be a people pleaser and I told him this from the start. He totally got me! I always felt comfortable that if I didn't like something, I could tell him, no problem...move on! No need to waste time seeing places that we didn't like... he really valued our time! His personality is so easy and he's truly a kind and nice guy. Very genuine. 2) Patience: being this was our very first home-buying experience, we were very lay to everything real estate and needed someone to help us understand the process without feeling rushed. He explained every step to us... buying our first home was truly an enjoyable, exciting experience! 3) Knowledge/Contacts: I was already looking at homes on Zillow and OahuRE... but Devin had so many others that we never saw! There were so many that fit our budget and area we were looking in. I couldn't believe the resources he had! For someone who didn't live here all their life... is young... you'd never know. The wealth of knowledge and associates/contacts he has just blow me away! This is just another plus for his clients. Devin also put us in touch with his go-to guy for our mortgage/loan. This person was also AMAZING! All the application process was done over the phone and online. It WAS EASY. They do all the leg work for you. 4) Professional: Devin is VERY PUNCTUAL. Always on time. A couple times we ran a few minutes late, and he was very gracious. Observing his interaction with other professionals, it was nice to see they enjoy working with him and he is respected. He does his homework so you don't have to, and he's always prepared on his client's behalf. In the end... my husband and I ended purchasing our dream home... yes, the one we saw just after we met Devin. We didn't realize it then, but it was totally within our budget, and we were even able to consider a 15 year mortgage over a 30! There were parts of the negotiating process that we would have gladly accepted, not knowing the options. Devin could have easily said, cool... you guys are okay with it, so no need to change anything. But did I mention he works VERY HARD for his clients!? Yup, even if we were willing to accept a condition, he advocated for us and we were able to get added benefits and a lower selling price, in our favor. Everything went so smooth, we were even given the option to close in under 30 days. WOW! So here we are, one year later, living in our dream house!! Devin was our agent, but now he's a friend who's more like family!!

I just want to say my experience with Devin Tyran today and can't believe he has 5 stars in review…read morehere in Yelp. I am not a yelper nor active in SNS, I am a house wife who listed property under FSBO (For Sell By Owner). This morning got a call from Keller Williams and made a my unit showing appointment at 2:30 pm and found out agent name Devin Tyran will visit with his client at 2:30pm. I had 2 other showing this morning at 11:30 am & 12:30 pm. Argents came on time and it was fun experience to show my unit and dialogue with agents and their clients. I had to pick up my son by 2:30 pm, so I called and spoke to Debbie from Keller Williams and instructed her that I will leave my unit door open and all the lights and a/c will be on, so after Devin is done with his client at 2:30 pm visit, just tell him that lock the unit door and I will come back later to turn off lights and A/C. I also arranged with bldg. security and admin office staff to accommodate Davin for 2:30 showing to open the condominium lobby door as soon as he gets to the building, so he has easy access to my unit. I arranged with my Bldg. security and staff because I had to leave with my unit unlocked which Davin knows, since his office lady got instructed! 2:57pm, I've got a call from my condominium staff that Keller William agent, Davin did not show up yet but if he is or late, next shift staff will accommodate the agent. (How prompt and good service here in my building staff!!!) So I called Keller William office to notify that agent didn't show up by 2:57 which almost 3 pm without any call or texting me and Keller William office lady gave me Davin's contact info. and called him. He answered in 1st ring and I said "hello" and he said I will call you in 20 minutes!" So I said okay and I hung up. But I am busy and I do not wish to wait another 20 minutes for him for WHAT? What he telling me to wait for him 30 + 20 = 50 minutes??? Davin texted me then, " call you back soon" I texted him, I wanted to know if you are still coming for 2:30 pm showing or not at 2:59 pm. Then he said probably not b/c he and his clients running behind. I was so disappointed because he could have texted me or called me earlier. What If I didn't call him at 2:57 pm? After 30 minutes late, he will call back in 20 minutes? After today's experience with him, probably he would not have the courtesy to inform me to cancel the showing or that he is running late. I never met him before. I don't know him. But what I know is that when I schedule a meeting or any type of appointment and I think I am going to be late, I will call or text let the person know rather than making them wait. It is basic. Be careful if you schedule with Davin because he will not let you know if he's late or not coming at all. If I was a licensed broker or sales agent, would you still do what you did to me today, Davin?

Our real estate experience with Erik Taniguchi and his wonderful team of Cari Anne, Daniel, Kristen…read moreand Cacia at Taniguchi & Associates was nothing short of extraordinary. What we accomplished together was a Section 1031 like-kind exchange with our Ewa Beach condo the relinquished property and our replacement property a brand new luxury condo in The Ward Park Village. First Erik referred us to a great no fee(yes, NO FEE) 1031 Exchange Facilitator who expertly guided us through the exchange process and saved us $4-5K in fees. His team then advised us through some tricky stages for the Ewa Beach condo sale which was wonderfully staged by Cacia Taniguchi the home staging expert. With the sale of our Ewa Beach condo closed, we now entered a new phase, with time ticking for the worrisome 45 day and 180 day 1031 exchange deadlines. No sweat, with Cari Anne we easily met the 45 day requirement with The Park Ward Village unit under contract within one week after the Ewa Beach condo closing. Big shout outs to Cari Anne Nada, Daniel Lucariello and Kristen Young for shepherding us to the finish line of our Park Ward Village 30 day closing. We highly recommend Erik Taniguchi & Associates and his great team, mahalo!

Kyle is an amazing real estate agent, property manager, and all-around great guy. When we…read moreunexpectedly found ourselves moving to Hawaii, we realized our best option was to buy. Within a short time frame, Kyle was able to show us several incredible properties in our price range--and he got both of our offers accepted in the highly competitive market of 2018. After enjoying some wonderful years in our condo, it came time to move. We initially worked with a different property manager, but later switched to Kyle--and we are so grateful we did. The level of care and professionalism he brought to managing our property was outstanding. As owners, we always felt he had our best interests at heart, and we trusted his advice completely. His extensive network of contractors made repairs and remodeling work simple and stress-free. Most recently, when our situation changed, we turned to Kyle again to help us sell. Even in a very slow 2025 market, he secured us an excellent offer--well above our expectations--closed the sale in half the average market time, and ensured a smooth process from start to finish. We are extremely grateful to have met and worked with Kyle, and we recommend him without hesitation--100/10!

Kyle made the selling process so easy even when I was away from the islands. We were able to sell for asking and record price for that building and we did not even get to the open house! He knew exactly what to upgrade and renovate so we can get my property back in shape for the market. I think you can find a smart realtor anywhere but I think it goes beyond that - Kyle is smart,  genuine and trustworthy. Mahalo again Kyle and hope to be back in Hawaii some time in the future
