About Tristan Farrara
Aloha, I'm Tristan Farrara, a full-time Realtor with eXp Realty and one half of Team Raja That with my partner Patrick Longley.
I served in the U.S. Air Force from 2016 to 2025, including a deployment to Qatar, and spent my career in logistics. That background shapes how I work: clear timelines, no surprises, and every detail tracked from offer to keys. I know what a PCS move feels like because I've lived it, so I make the process as simple as possible for military families relocating to or from Oahu.
My specialties:
- VA and military buyers: VA loans, entitlement, VA assumable loans, and buying remotely before you arrive on island
- Condo due diligence: reviewing reserve studies, HOA budgets, insurance, and building rules so you know exactly what you're buying
- Investors: rental and multi-family analysis, cash flow, and long-term strategy
- Sellers: pricing, marketing, and negotiation backed by real market data
I also run the "Moving To Oahu" YouTube channel, where I help military families learn the neighborhoods, the market, and the buying process before they ever land. Whether you're PCSing to Pearl Harbor, Hickam, Schofield, Kaneohe Bay, or Camp Smith, I'm happy to be your go-to resource on the island.
Let me know how I can help!
Community Involvement
Proud U.S. Air Force veteran (2016 to 2025). I create free relocation content for military families on my Moving To Oahu YouTube channel and volunteer on long-term capital planning for my condo association in Waikiki.
HOBBIES/INTEREST
Golf, swimming, music, and anything that brings a team together.
FAMILY
My girlfriend Caroline and I love calling Oahu home.

FAQ
Get fully pre-approved before you start shopping, and if you're military, ask your lender about your VA entitlement and whether a VA assumable loan could save you on rate. On Oahu, condos make up a big share of the market, so look past the unit itself: review the reserve study, HOA budget, insurance, and any planned special assessments before you commit. Also check whether a property is fee simple or leasehold, since that changes value and financing. If you're PCSing, we can tour by video and handle most of the process before you land.
Price it right from day one. Overpriced homes sit, and days on market works against you in negotiation. Get ahead of disclosures and any known repairs so buyers feel confident, and invest in great photos and video since many Oahu buyers, especially military families, shop from the mainland first. If your property has a VA loan, it may be assumable, which can be a strong selling point when rates are high.
Mostly active duty, veteran, and reservist families relocating to or from Oahu, plus first-time buyers, condo buyers, and investors looking at rentals and multi-family properties. I also help sellers, including military homeowners getting ready to PCS off island.
I served in the U.S. Air Force from 2016 to 2025 in logistics and completed Airman Leadership School. That training shows up in how I run every transaction: organized timelines, clear communication, and nothing slipping through the cracks. I also specialize in VA financing, VA assumable loans, and condo document review, so my clients understand exactly what they're buying.
