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.

A long overdue review!…read more Mahalo nui loa to the entire HI ROOTS team for taking such incredible care of our family over the years! As a local military family living away from Hawaii, having people we could truly trust with our home meant everything to us. From the very beginning, Peter's professionalism, honesty, and knowledge of the Hawaii market made our decision to work with HI ROOTS an easy one. Over the years, they managed our property with great care and later guided us through the sale of our home with the same level of dedication and support. Their communication was always excellent, and Sean consistently went out of his way to accommodate the six-hour time difference whenever we needed to talk. Small things like that made a huge difference and showed how much they genuinely cared about their clients. What could have been a stressful process from far away felt smooth and manageable because of their team. They treated us like ohana every step of the way, and we will always be grateful for the kindness, support, and aloha they showed our family. We highly recommend HI ROOTS to anyone looking for a team they can truly trust. Mahalo again for everything!

And then retaliate charging for normal wear and tear of a house falling apart. We have pictures too.

With another tenant who also used the garbage cans, where we even helped our senior lower unit tenant dump her garbage the day we moved out, And when we moved in the cans were full and we had to request it to be removed. We have emails showing the cans were full and removed with rental company. Returning property as it was found, no damage done to the property. Normal wear and tear on the invoice and some are not even real. Duck tape so rodents don't go in the house.. wear and tear!

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.

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 was planning a destination wedding and needed a place for my family and family-in-law to stay in…read more We knew we wanted to stay in Ko Olina, but needed an actual townhouse to rent. From a Google search, I found that Ola Properties had a nice online listing of all their rental properties online, this made things much easier than bouncing different addresses off through the phone. Furthermore, they show actual pictures of each of their rental homes online, so you can see how the interior is furnished (trust me, this makes a BIG difference!). I should mention that that the minimum rental period is 30 days though. Doesn't mean you actually have to be there for the whole month, but you do need to pay for a whole month at a time. At the time of my search, we only stayed for part of the month, but it still benefited us to go use Ola Properties. I mainly contacted Debi and she was awesome. With the 6-hr difference between us, we primarily contacted through email, but we were able to catch each other when we needed it. When we arrived, we were promptly greeted and given a tour of each house we rented. If there were any issues, we could call and/or text at any time. Even after we left, Debi was very helpful in answering my questions regarding our deposit. If we ever come back to Ko Olina, I'll definitely use Ola Properties again! Thanks Debi!

Ola Properties was my property manager starting in 2021, back when Larry was still involved. Things…read moreran smoothly back then, but once ownership changed, the quality went downhill fast. The biggest issue was the lack of communication and transparency. Decisions were made without consulting us, and when we asked questions, the responses always seemed to prioritize Ola's internal agenda rather than what was best for our villa. We also started noticing a steady increase in fees. What used to be a simple structure with a few charges turned into a long list--transaction fees, credit card fees, even fees just to speak to someone live. It felt excessive and, at times, questionable. The breaking point was how they handled our belongings when we decided to leave. We requested our original linens back, but they had removed tags to make everything "community linens." When we finally received items, they didn't match, some were clearly older than what we originally had, and others still had tags from different units. It was disorganized and unacceptable. To make matters worse, we were promised replacements or compensation, but in the end, we were given poor-quality linens that didn't come close to what we had before. Communication during this process was frustrating--calls and concerns were often ignored or brushed off. There are good people working there, but overall, the leadership and management practices made it impossible for us to trust the company. The lack of respect and common courtesy for the people who employ them--and who they claim to serve--is appalling. Based on our experience, I would not return. I have the emails and receipts if they wanted to dispute my claims.
