    We just bought our first new home from Puka. We could not be happier. From start to finish Puka is always available to answer any of your questions. It is so reassuring to work with her. Having grown up on the island, she knows the island like a close friend. She is highly knowledgeable about all the details of different subdivisions in all areas of the island. She is down to earth and truly emanates aloha in all that she does. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. Puka is the one to walk by your side on this very important journey. We had our own challenges with the process and she kept us afloat until we reached our goal. We are so glad Puka was our guide that confidently and unwaveringly helped us arrive at our destination. She is top notch. We are delighted to be moving into our beautiful home. We had a long journey to find the right home at the right price, including all the details. We are over joyed and highly recommend her. Mahalo, Puka. We are so grateful. With aloha, Kristal and James Wisnom

    I worked with Trinh to find an investment property on the Big Island. Trinh was immensely patient to work with me to find a property, show the place via a video call and make a video link for us to share with other investors. Trinh gave us the necessary information and honest opinions about the place (whether small or big, good conditions or need an upgrade, ect). Her experience with the local rental market and investment properties helps us understand the questions and concerns. I have met other realtors who I usually faced with unprofessionalism, impatience, and money-driven without your rights as a buyer in mind. Meeting Trinh was like finally being able to find a right person that we can trust. With the rising interest rate, we decided to pause the purchasing process. We definitely work with Trinh again and will recommend her to everyone we know.

    My experience working with Tehani was fantastic to say the least. She was very responsive and helpful in the whole process. Being a first time homebuyer I was nervous but Tehani made everything smooth. Tehani crushed it and looking forward to working with her in the future!

    Tehani was a delight to work with and she helped us navigate the closing process on the island. We came in for a short vacation, found a home, put in an offer, and successfully closed in just over 30 days. Im beyond grateful for Tehanis help with the entire process. She even recommended contractors and helped us navigate a lease for the garage apartment. I can highly recommend Tehani as an all-inclusive agent!

    Puka is without question the best realtor we?ve worked with - and encountered many on Oahu. We were first time homebuyers, and she constantly went above and beyond our expectations - answering every single question about the process, finding or recommending services. She communicated with us regularly, giving us updates about what was going on in the process, and contacted us immediately if action was needed on our part. She was a strong advocate for us during the whole process and beyond. She truly embodies the spirit of aloha, and we absolutely recommend her!
