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 told my coworker the other day "if I could hire Karen Anderson to manage my life, I would." My…read morecoworker has no idea who Karen is, and I didn't care because there is not enough I can say to how amazing a job I think the Prestige Team do. I have worked with her team twice now, the first time to buy a house and the second time to sell a house. The funny thing is, I wasn't even planning on buying a house yet when I met Jonathan on her team. I was just dipping my toe into what was happening in my area and looking for maybe hiring an agent. I walked into an open house hosted by Jonathan and immediately liked his vibe. I also loved the vibe of the house, so much so, I was sold twice over. I hired him and bought the house. After that, I have reached out to both Jonathan and Karen for recommendations on work to be done, and they never fail to have qualified people I can hire. When I was ready to sell another house, there was no doubt in my mind who I was going to hire: The Prestige Team. Karen has walked us through the process, informing us in realistic terms how much the house should go for, she has hired and managed updates to the fixtures, bathroom, and kitchen, not to mention painting and gardening and electrical, and has kept us in the loop with bids. Now that the contract has already been signed, I can say I would have given her a higher commission (maybe . . . my partner would probably have something to say about that, though). In other words, HIRE THE PRESTIGE TEAM. If I could be more glowing in my review, I would!

We literally moved out on a Monday, cleaned the place on Tuesday, and Forrest did 5 highly qualified showings over the next 2 days, resulting in a nearly full price offer without us having to do any work. When the closing got bogged down due to various delays, he advised us on our options, aggressively nudging the buyer, and in the end, we were able to get the deal done. We never had to reach out for updates, he was always proactive and quick to respond. He really understands the market and never loses his cool.
