Ronda helped us stage our home we wanted to sale in Waipahu. We had just recently remodeled and…read moreupdated the house so everything was already nice. But when Ronda and her team came in and added their special touch it definitely made the house look 10x more attractive! Her attention to detail and knowing how to perfectly stage a house kept buyers interested as they visualized their new dream home. With Ronda's help we were able get many offers and close within a week. Her efforts increased the value of our home to about 15-20k more than if we had tried to sale without staging. Definitely recommend her services and will be calling her again for any future sales.

I strongly recommend Ronda as your next real estate agent…read more I sold Honolulu property last year and she helped me to do so. Her professional service quality, knowledge and positive attitude made me very comfortable and confidence to succeed the sale. In fact, she found a buyer within two weeks, and the entire transaction was completed in 3month. No hassle, no worry, no issues, etc. She has responded to my inquiries in timely manner by either email and phone. If you are buying and selling properties in Hawaii, I recommend Ronda as your first contact agent.

She was able to listen to my needs, dreams and finally we were able to purchase our home with her. Her skill set, knowledge, transparency, flexibility , communication and negotiation skills just to name a few, made this transaction an easy one even being remote yet so close to her. During this experience we become good friends Kiani is a true professional, she is carrying , genuine and beautiful inside out . We are highly recommending her !

This year I decided to look for investment property in O'ahu. I was/am fortunate enough to have…read moreLyuba Naiditch as my agent. I have been her client for several months now and must share my experience. Lyuba is amazingly easy to work with. She is intelligent, enthusiastic, wise about the market, has exceptional taste, and is practical while holding an idealistic vision for her clients' first (or 2nd or 3rd) home. She listens to my needs and wants while reminding me to remain flexible. Her upbeat nature makes the many open houses a fun, yet informative, experience. Lyuba is incredibly intuitive and, overtime, has developed an effortless awareness of my preferences and what will fit. She does not waste my time convincing me towards properties that will not meet my criteria. I love how she communicates with me. She is positive and open minded, while also being direct without harshness. It really is not an easy combination to present and she does it effortless. There is no feeling of manipulation or ulterior motives. She is just very transparent. I love that! The most impressive trait that stands out to me about Lyuba is that she really cares about assisting her clients to find their dream home. I never feel pressured to buy. If I am ambivalent about a place, she will suggest giving it a day or two to think about. If the aesthetic structure or layout is not to my liking, she will caution me to have an open mind; architects can do wonderful things with the skeleton of a home. Being novice at property ownership, it was a daunting undertaking to consider my options. However, I can trust that Lyuba will help me make the best choice for my family. If I could sum up my experience with Lyuba with an analogy, I would liken the relationship and care as one between a physician and a patient. There is a lot of trust the vulnerable party must have in the knowledgeable and learned professional. As an actual physician, I can tell you that dynamic is extremely important to me. I have that trust in Lyuba. Every day I count her as the agent in my home ownership search, I count myself blessed. Thank you, Lyuba. I'm so excited I get to take this journey with you. If you're reading this, you are one step ahead of the rest. Hope this helps. Cheers!

My wife and I have known Lyuba for years and think she is a very classy lady with a high level of…read moreskill. When we heard that she was working for Coldwell Banker as a RA we immediately hired her to represent us to sell our condo. It was perfect timing as we have been planning to put our place on the market but did not have an agent yet. From day one Lyuba took charge and helped us get our place ready to show. She arranged and took care of all the details that go into selling a property so that we did not have to worry about a thing. After a few open houses and private showings Lyuba secured several viable offers and advised us on choosing the best one. Lyuba was able to complete the transaction on time and above asking price, which we love and really appreciate. We would definitely hire Lyuba again and think she is the best! Our case was a perfect example of how a real estate transaction should be. Aloha and Mahalos, Harry J. Johnson

Through their neglect, my husband and I suffered in the tens of thousands of dollars renovating our condo (down to the sub-floors). HappyDoors allegedly completed a final walk through of the unit, provided a minimal list of due outs (with an absolutely astronomically priced labor estimate of fixes) and returned the renters deposit. Only for my sister to find the unit with urine soaked floors, spongy in some areas, and a grotesque overall appearance - some examples were dark gray filthy doors (which were once white), personal property and baseboards gnawed on by some sort of animal (assuming dogs), rusted tub, and scratched floors. To make matters worse, they then quickly signed somebody new, did no periodic checks and it wasn't until neighbors found a way to contact me, that we learned of unauthorized dogs (that we paid HOA penalties for) who were defecating all over the communal property and terrorizing others by being outside (unleashed). Those tenants also further destroyed the unit (which we finally parted ways with happy doors following this) and had to completely gut it. I always felt like they sided with literally everyone but me, even though my family was at the receiving end of massive financial loss. Save yourself time and money and find a different company to represent you AND protect your property.

She was incredibly patient and understanding and made the whole process feel effortless. Through the years my family and I have continued to use her services because of her experience and deep understanding of the market and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Team Antonet (Antonet and Kai) of Trinity Properties took the time to explain every detail and were available whenever we needed them from the initial home search to the final closing.

We looked at several places together, so many, I was worried she was going to get annoyed with my undecisiveness. She asked me many questions of what I liked and didn't like of each place we looked at until she found me the PERFECT one. I feel like she eventually knew what I was looking for, better than I did! She was extremely hard working, even on a Sunday night she was working late getting our offer in to make sure we were the first offer.

When we made the difficult decision to sell our beloved Kailua home, we knew we needed an agent who…read morewas more than just competent--we needed someone who genuinely understood what the home meant to us. We interviewed nearly 20 different real estate companies searching for the right partnership. Most of the agents gave us the same scripted sales pitch, rattled off statistics, and treated our home like one more notch in their inventory. Nothing felt personal, and none of them made us feel truly heard. Then we met Sherine. From the very first conversation, everything changed. There was an instant sense of trust and sincerity. Sherine listened--not just to what we said, but to what mattered to us. Her knowledge of the Kailua market was immediately clear, but it was her warmth, empathy, and genuine interest in our story that set her apart. She didn't look at our home as a transaction; she treated it with the same respect and care she would give to her own or a close family member's. Sherine and Leanna then staged the property with a level of artistry and intention that is indescribable. They incorporated thoughtful, local, deeply personal touches--from curated furnishings to stunning artwork created by Leanna and other Kailua artists. Every room felt alive, welcoming, and beautifully representative of what makes Kailua special. The transformation was so incredible that we actually started questioning whether we should sell at all! Most of the agents we interviewed insisted that our home wouldn't sell for more than $1.7M. Sherine, however, saw value that others completely overlooked. She was confident--very confident--that she could secure an offer at $1.9M or more. She believed in the home, believed in her strategy, and believed in what she could deliver for us. And she was right. Just shortly after the very first showing, we accepted an astonishing $2.1M all-cash offer. More than $400,000 above what numerous other agents told us was even remotely possible. From that point on, the experience felt almost surreal--in the best way. The entire process was quick, smooth, stress-free, and surprisingly effortless for us. Sherine and her entire team worked like a well-orchestrated machine, anticipating needs before they arose and handling every detail with professionalism, grace, and heart. We were able to focus on our next chapter while Sherine handled everything behind the scenes. Selling a home, especially one filled with years of memories, is never easy. But Sherine made it not only manageable--she made it meaningful. She honored our home, protected our interests, advocated fiercely for us, and delivered results that still leave us speechless. We cannot adequately express our gratitude for Sherine's expertise, compassion, integrity, and unwavering dedication. She is in a league of her own. If you are searching for a real estate agent who embodies Aloha and who will treat you, your home, your goals, and your experience with genuine care and an unwavering commitment to excellence, look no further. Sherine is the one.

They were an invaluable resource not only in selling our home, they made it incredibly easy to put it on the market! Minor repairs, painting, lighting, whatever we needed, they helped to coordinate with their network of professionals to get our home listed and staged in just about one week! Leanna transformed my home into a beautiful oasis that left many potential buyers (and neighbors) raving about the decor! Sherine shared her knowledge and expertise in setting the asking price, and we got our first offer within 3 days of showing and ultimately we had 3 above asking offers! I cannot thank them enough for the exceptional work they did to move our home quickly and for top dollar. We lived in a townhome in Hawaii Kai and including our home, Sherine and Leanna has the 2 highest recorded sales of 3 bedroom homes in our community! If you are looking to either sell or buy a home, please contact Sherine and Leanna! They truly care about their clients and act with Aloha in everything that they do.

My husband and I have been trying to find a rental that will accept our multiple pets for awhile…read morenow and have experienced that majority of the agents with other companies do not reply to any of our calls, emails, and/or texts. They don't even acknowledge that we reached out or applied. When a rental became available with Royal Realty, I immediately called the agent listed for the rental expecting no answer. However, he answered the phone immediately and was very pleasant and helpful! I was shocked! I told him, "Wow, thank you for even answering your phone! Most agents completely ignore my emails and calls." Rodney has consistently communicated with me throughout the viewing and application process. He has been the ONLY agent that has done so throughout our three months of hunting for a rental for our family. Just about when I was going to give up on finding a rental, we met Rodney today in person to view the rental and he was so kind and thorough. He explained every part of the home and even took us around the property to show us where the shared units were located, ones that we were not applying for, but that we would be sharing the space with. He took the time to get to know us as people and made us feel seen and welcomed. Most agents we've seen in person unlock the door and just tell us, "Okay you can go look inside" and never really talk to us or show us around. He was very transparent about the application process and the owners needing time to decide if they would be willing to accept our multiple pets. I told Rodney regardless of the outcome, I truly appreciated his timely and consistent communication with us and meeting him today. We are hopeful that the owners will accept our family and multiple pets, but even if not, our experience with Rodney makes us want to find a rental with this company since we know they will take care of us and our needs. Mahalo nui, Rodney!

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.
