From the open house viewing to opening escrow, the process took less than a week! He booked our inspections within a few days and made sure that everything ran on schedule. Derek was always on top of it and had amazing communication. He sent us updates regularly, offered his advice when we had questions, and helped keep our minds at ease. As first time homeowners, we needed everything explained to us in layman's terms and Derek delivered. We are so grateful to Derek and the Hirano Homes team for helping us purchase our first home!

I can't speak highly enough about working with Derek Hirano throughout the homebuying process. From…read morereaching out with our initial homebuying interest to having our offer accepted, Derek guided us every step of the way. As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were not familiar with all of the steps and processes we needed to consider, and Derek's ability to break things down for us made a world of a difference to ease our minds. The standout feature of working with Derek is how much he cares and communicates. We always felt supported and able to ask any questions that came up, and Derek's experience helped us make informed decisions every step of the way. As we went through the full process including working with our lenders, inspectors, and contractors, I was impressed with the relationships that Derek has built with each vendor. We walked away from each interaction being better informed and supported to take any next steps, and this is all due to Derek's strong relationships with reliable and trustworthy connections. If Derek has a certain vendor in mind, you can rest assured knowing they are a reputable and recommended. Derek and his team were amazing to work with. They advocated for us and were available for questions while proactively reaching out with updates keeping us well-informed from beginning to end. Throughout the whole time of what would normally be an extremely stressful process, my wife and I knew we were being taken care of and that Derek had our best interests in mind. I cannot recommend working with Derek and the Hirano Homes team highly enough! We will refer future friends and family to Derek and his team for any homebuying/selling needs.

I had a great home buying experience working with Alyssa. From the first time I reached out to her,…read moreshe was consistently helpful and had great communication. My partner and I were first time homebuyers and didn't know anything about the process. I met with Alyssa and she walked me through the basics in a way that I could easily understand. She got us set up with the Compass app so we could search for homes through the app and let her know ones we were interested in. For every home, she followed up with the seller's realtor to get the status of the home. She went with us to open houses or set up private showings. It's such a big purchase, and having someone knowledgeable about what to look out for was super helpful. She let us know pros and cons for the homes we looked at and it really helped us make a decision. Once we found a house we loved, she put in the offer and took charge from there, which I appreciated. She explained the steps in escrow and kept us updated along the way. We had to counter offer and her advice on was probably what got our offer accepted! Alyssa helped set up the home inspections, plus contractor inspections to get quotes for repairs. I didn't have any experience with this, so being able to rely on her and her trusted contacts was invaluable. The closing process was very smooth and we ended up with a great house. The whole Ito Orio group were great throughout the entire journey - always sending updates, getting signatures, communicating with all the parties, everything was seamless. They all made the process super easy and I'm especially thankful to have had Alyssa's guidance during the process.

When I say fiduciary, I mean he puts his clients first every single time--no hidden motives, no shortcuts, just loyalty and transparency.

He's relentless, professional, and outworks everyone around him. If you want someone who won't settle and won't back down, Jack is that guy. He is also super fun to work with.
