This review is to state a violation of the landlord/tenant code when Tom Mukai, a realtor for…read moreLocations LLC, entered my rental unit. I was not informed nor was I never notified from my landlord Gavin Baer, also a agent from Locations LLC, that Tom Mukai had obtained a spare key and was entering my apartment without my knowledge. On June 15, 2026, I received a 45 day vacate notice from my landlord Gavin Baer citing that the owner needed the unit for a family emergency. Later I found out that my family was being vacated because the owner was listing his apartment for sale. The 45 day vacate notice gives me until August 15 to completely vacate the Unit. One of the conditions in the rental agreement is to have the apartment cleaned by a professional cleaner. I had a cleaner scheduled for July 31, 2026, at 9am but there was a miscommunication between the cleaning team. My final inspection was also scheduled on the 31st at 130pm but needed to be rescheduled due to the cleaners not showing up. I contacted my landlord and informed him of the problem and asked if I could schedule the final inspection on August 1st. Gavin Baer told me that he was busy that day but really needed to pick up the keys from me so another agent could take photos for a listing. Gavin stated that he was going to call me back and either schedule the picking up of the keys on Sunday Aug 2nd or Monday Aug 3rd however I never received a call from Gavin. On July 31, 2026, at around 330pm I received a call from the cleaners, who was supposed to clean the unit at 9am. The cleaners apologized for not showing up and not returning my calls and wanted to make things right. They showed up around 415pm and started cleaning the unit. I stayed at the unit and assisted with the clean up. I later removed the window screens and went down to the parking structure to wash the screens. When I returned to the apartment at around 348pm, I found a realtor named Tom Mukai standing inside of my unit while the cleaners was cleaning my apartment. I asked Tom Mukai what are you doing in my unit and he stated that he picked up the spare keys from Gavin Baer. Tom Mukai stated that he was there to take photos of the apartment for his listing. I told Tom Mukai that you are not supposed to be in the unit and Tom stated that my lease agreement ended on July 31, 2026. I told Tom Mukai that my lease agreement is still valid until August 15, 2026, and that I still have all the keys. Tom Mukai kept saying "what's the big deal, it's not a big deal". I told Tom Mukai that you just violated the landlord/tenant code and I immediately called Gavin Baer to inform him of the situation. While talking to Gavin Baer via speakerphone Gavin Baer admitted to giving Tom Mukai the spare keys but stated that he did not know that Tom Mukai would go to the apartment. I was fortunate to have the cleaners as witnesses to the whole incident and called 911 to document this incident in a police report. I also sent Gavin Baer an email stating what occurred and he acknowledged the events that took place however I never received an apology from Gavin Baer or Tom Mukai. Gavin Baer also informed me that I did not have to be present for the final inspection and gave me instructions to lock all of the keys and clickers in the apartment. After the cleaners was completed on the 31st I took photos of the unit and locked the doors. My wife and I have been renting the unit for 6 years and has never missed a payment. We raised two of our children in that unit and was expecting our third child to also be raised in that unit until the 45 day vacate notice was given.

Colleen Query managed my Kailua condo for 7 years with unprecedented professionalism. During that time we had multiple tenants, and by the time I was able to return to the island, my condo was in pristine condition making it easy for my family to seamlessly move back in to our home. Query properties has great relationships regarding who can repair/upgrade appliances, ceiling fans, etc, and we never had to worry about anything. Colleen was great at communicating what needed to be done and how to get it done. Her advice to us as our property manager over nearly a decade was unparalleled. I never lost any sleep at night worrying about my condo because I was so confident in Colleen and Query properties. Shortly after moving back into our Condo, we decided to refinance to bring down our monthly mortgage payment. We didn't have to think twice on who to ask for help: Colleen from Query Properties. I'm a novice when it comes to real estate and investing, but I didn't need to worry about that stuff because Colleen took care of everything. Her patience with us and flexibility in working around my wife's and my busy schedule made this process so easy and convenient for us. It was the second, smoothest serious business transaction I've experienced...the first smoothest is detailed in the next paragraph. After my wife and I refinanced our condo, we started feeling like we needed a larger place to live. We had been moving around so much over the past 7 years, that we wanted to find our "dream" home. We were going to find the LAST place we would move into. We knew right away that Colleen and Query Properties were who we needed to make our dream reality. Colleen not only swiftly located a buyer for our condo, but helped us find our new dream home as well. She did this by talking with us, understanding what our financial capabilities were, and setting reasonable goals for our purchase. Her knowledge of the Windward side, the real estate market, the red flags to look out for for properties, etc. made this very scary and foreign process very rewarding. Within a month we had sold our Condo, put a successful offer on a home and basically had our dreams truly come true. I'm sitting on my lanai right now writing this review thinking how lucky I am to have had Colleen and Query Properties working for me all these years. Query properties is a local, family owned business and their versatility can not be matched. Because I chose t them to take care of my family I feel like I'm living the Hawaii dream. They have improved my quality of life significantly through an awesome level of professionalism and I truly believe they treated us as we were part of their family!

Kathleen Query was recommended to me. She was the agent for selling my townhouse in Waimanalo. She did an excellent job marketing and selling that unit. Subsequently, I purchased a condo in Salt Lake area. I used an agency in town, but was not happy with the experience. I turned to Kathleen Query and asked if she could manage my new unit even though it was in town. She agreed. She has been managing my condo ever since. I have had very good results with her as my rental manager. When i owned the townhouse in Waimanalo, it was a rental unit. I was the remote landlord. Unfortunately, I seemed to have significant problems with my rental managers over the years. I had to change rental managers 4 times. I am very happy with Kathleen Query as my rental manager. My rental unit is always full, I receive monthly statements on time, and funds are deposited into my account on time. Periodically I return to Hawaii and do a walk through of my unit. The unit is kept clean with no maintenance issues. This is a far cry from my past experiences with my Waimanalo unit. I recommend Query Realtors, and Kathleen Query, to anyone looking for an agent to buy or sell real estate on Oahu, or to anyone looking for a great property manager.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my realtor, Pam Maeda…read more From the very beginning, Pam truly believed in me and my dream of homeownership. She patiently answered my questions, walked me through the entire process, listened carefully and helped ease my worries every step of the way. She connected me with my loan officer and always knew who to pair me up with to make the process seamless. Pam consistently showed up and checked in on me, making sure I never felt alone or overwhelmed. She was there for my walk-through and on key-receiving day, which meant so much to me. Her insight and expertise on walk-through day helped me look for things that I would never have thought of or considered, which is helpful when purchasing a new home. If not for her, I would have overlooked defects or flaws that I didn't know to look for. Her guidance, reassurance and steady presence made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and even exciting. She was patient with me and never made me feel as though any question or concern or even emotion was silly. Pam is knowledgeable, responsive and genuinely cares about her clients. She doesn't just do her job, she supports you, advocates for you and sees the process through from start to finish. Thanks to Pam, my dream of homeownership became a reality, and I am forever grateful. If you're looking for a realtor who truly listens, believes in you and shows up for you every step of the way, Pam Maeda is the one. Thank you, Pam! You are awesome sauce!!

We recently moved out, after living for 5 years in a one bedroom apartment at 400 Hobron Ln, The…read moreVilla at Eaton Square. This place was roach infested from the start of our lease. We were unable to use a majority of the kitchen cabinets, as they were faultily built with cracks and spaces all throughout the cabinets and counter tops where the roaches would have access and constantly leave a mess everywhere. And when we told the people who were sent for regular maintenance inspections that there was a roach problem, their response was "Yeah it's a problem. we get that complaint from a lot of the apartments in this building." So they acknowledged the problem but did nothing about it. We did once pay with our own money for pest control that the building offered, but they just sprayed chemicals for less that a minute in the kitchen and the problem didn't resolve or improve so I was not willing to pay for toxic chemicals to be sprayed in my home again. I've suffered from asthma and eczema and am sensitive to strong cleaners, pesticides/insecticides and fragrances so I avoid using those in my home. Instead I use natural non-toxic cleaning products. Also being pregnant, and having a toddler I was very careful about what I bring and use in my home. When moving out, we barely interacted with our property manager Ian, but instead with the relator he was working with named Marsha. Marsha and Ian came to check the apartment and take pictures for listing and Marsha told us they would be listing the apartment next week, and to start looking for a place to move. So we did and ended up moving out the next month, and they still hadn't listed the place. Anyways, we asked our property manger Ian for a list of cleaning vendors that they suggest and work with and he said to talk to Marsha the Relator. Marsha said she had a cleaner who was already working on another apartment in the building and he could do the cleaning, carpet cleaning and fix paint if needed but we had be completely moved out and officially hand over the keys to her 4 days before our scheduled move out date, so she could give they keys to the cleaner and it would take him the next 4 days to complete. This was very stressful and really messed with our moving out process. But we did it because Marsha said that if we went with another cleaner, we could end up having to pay more if they needed to come back to clean more. We checked with Ian and he was okay with this, so on our last day I met with Marsha at 6pm and she had me and my brother help her check all the cabinets were empty. She sprayed Raid roach killing spray all throughout the apartment, the fumes were so strong I had a head ache and felt sick, and we still had to stay standing in the apartment for about an hour and a half as she inspected the place and talked a lot to us. I showed her the mailbox and the parking lot. She also had me bend over behind the toilet to turn off the water, mind you I'm 6 months pregnant with all of this happening. I felt like it was a very unprofessional and it took way longer than expected, almost 2 hours in total before we said goodbye and I could finally get back to my toddler. I think or hope it would've been different if the property manager Ian had handled the check out inspection and handing over of keys instead of the relator. Now 3 weeks after moving out, we've received our security deposit return check and notice, which is a lot less than we were expecting. We asked for an itemized receipt with our return and were told yes, but only received this "breakout". Now seeing we were charged $890 for cleaning and carpet is ridiculous. We lived in a small 1 bedroom apartment which was left pretty much the same was we found it, plus 5 years of normal lived in wear and tear, without any maintenance on the property managements part, besides fixing the washing machine a couple times when it would stop working. We left the apartment bare, the same way we found it and generally cleaned what was in our control. I have no idea how it costs nearly a thousand dollars for the cleaning fee of that apartment. And without an itemized receipt. It doesn't add up. Also the $200 charge for roach treatment is not our responsibility to pay, we did not cause the roach infestation, and had previously complained about it to the management company who ignored the problem. We always had combat and hoy hoy roach traps in every cabinet and around the kitchen, it did not fix the problem and I was not willing to spray toxic chemicals in my home daily at the expense of my family and our health. It was always a problem that we had to deal with and it will continue to be a problem unless they fix the cabinets/countertops and seal all cracks, holes to cover the access points and hiding spots for the nests, they will come back especially with the roaches traveling from the trash room and apartment to apartment through the pipes, electrical outlets, AC vents, ect. Check attached photos.

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.
