Recently Brandon and David helped us with the sale of our property. We are so grateful for the expertise and professionalism that they provided. Everything went smoothly and in a timely manner.

We recently sold the house my wife grew up in, it was a very emotional time as we had hoped to keep it for future generations. Unfortunately, we decided it was best to let it go and close that chapter of her life. We started looking for realtors and came across Brandon's page. He had so many great reviews so we decided to give him a call. From the very first meeting, Brandon was warm, friendly, and very compassionate to our situational needs. He understood the emotions my wife had about having to sell the house she grew up in and he took great care ensuring that this was not just another sale for his records. He did everything for us every step of the way. Things were going so smoothly that we at times felt something has to go wrong, but it didn't. Words cannot express our sincere gratitude for everything Brandon has done for us. After our home was sold, he gifted us with a beautiful painting of our home. We will cherish it forever. Brandon is a true gentleman that lives life from his heart. Thank you Brandon, you are one of a kind! Stan & Jackie read more

Working with Brandon Sakata to sell our Honolulu condo was such a wonderful experience. From the very beginning, Brandon made us feel comfortable and cared for.

I met Brandon through an affordable home lottery which fell through however, he was so easy to work with that we reached out when we wanted to actively look for our first property purchase. He was very patient and had an initial meeting to go over the process which was very helpful. He helped with suggested places and set up all the viewings for any properties we wanted to look at. He let us look at each property and gave us his professional opinion but never pushed us in any way. He even told us to not rush on choosing a place which didn't seem like what a realtor would say. Once we found a place, he always checked in and let us know the status. We ran into some hiccups but he was always reassuring and honest with us. I recommend Brandon because he's an honest person who won't try to push or sell you on anything. He truly wants you to find the property that you want. read more

Brandon was professional from the beginning to the end of the transaction. From negotiating the best possible terms for our buyer, to hand holding them through a smooth escrow - with the professionalism and awareness to steer them away from any potential things that would affect their experience negatively. Would highly recommend Brandon! read more

I was thinking of selling my apartment and had gone to a friend of a friend initially to get a quote on how much my property was worth. Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed with the outcome of that meeting, so my brother referred me to his realtor, to which he had nothing but great things to say! I emailed Brandon I believe on a Friday night and to my surprise he responded right away. He set up an appointment to discuss everything a few days later and it was NOTHING like the meeting I had with the other realtor. Brandon was prompt, very professional, and organized. Not only did he research how much my property was worth, he made sure to compare the other properties around me to make sure we priced correctly and prepared a spreadsheet for me to breakdown the cost of everything and my estimated profit if we sold at the suggested listing price. As we were going over specifics he mentioned that I wouldn't even need to clean the place once I moved out because he would hire a professional cleaner and pay for it on my behalf. I don't know if this is something he does for every client, but as a single mom that was seriously the most amazing thing ever! There were also a couple of things that needed fixing in the apartment, which he handled for me as well as getting me the best price possible. Brandon has exceeding every single expectation I've had going above and beyond to help me sell my property. I love how quickly he replies to emails or texts and he's very friendly and easy to work with. My experience with Brandon was so much better than when I bought the property to begin with and made me wish I had known him sooner. He is definitely the person I will go to for any future real estate endeavors and I will be recommending him to all of my friends and family! read more

Was very impressed at how responsive Brandon is. Always available to answer and address any questions or concerns that I had.

I can't recommend Brandon enough! He was with us from day one of our home buying journey, and let me tell you, it was a long one. Brandon always took in to consideration our preferences and never wasted our time showing us places he didn't think we would be interested in. He even put up with all of our constant texting and questions, even on his days off from work. We could really tell it wasn't just about making a sale, he really wanted to establish a friendship with us and for us to love the home we were buying. Thanks to his careful eye on the market we were able to score a great price on a condo we really love. If you're looking to buy a home, this is your guy! Thanks again Brandon! read more

Brandon Sakata - Compass Hawaii - Outstanding customer service and a welcome gift, too! - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We are first time home buyers, so you can imagine how scary it is to even think about purchasing. Brandon Sakata made it seem so easy and got us through everything smoothly.  We didn't even know Brandon at the time and he agreed to help us. He made sure that we stayed on track. He kept us updated by sending us different home options and checked up on us each time.  Once we selected some options, he set up some showings and we chose one on that first day. He then even assisted us with a loan officer, who also kept us on track.  Even after we finalized everything, Brandon checks up on us from time to time. He also gave us a beautiful house warming gift to get us started on our journey. We will most likely ask Brandon for help in the future when purchasing a house. We will also be sure to offer Brandon's service to others who are looking into purchasing a home. read more

Having known Brandon for at least a decade, I knew he would be the guy my bf & I would go to for help! He's the type of friend you know you can rely on and the same goes for being a real estate agent. Brandon was patient with us throughout the entire journey - especially in the beginning when we were just browsing. He would always send us updates on potential places depending on what we were looking for. Brandon was very knowledgeable in Oahu real estate - we were definitely not LOL. He took us to one of Location's free First Time Homeowner Seminars and that really opened our eyes to being a homeowner. (Highly recommend attending the free seminar!) Brandon guided us and kept us on track through every step of the way. He reassured us when we had concerns and was always honest with us. You can tell that he has passion for what he does, he really wants to help you find your perfect home. I've already recommended Brandon to a couple of coworkers. I have no doubt that he gives the same degree of service and care to all of his clients. Thank you Brandon! read more

Never once did we ever feel alone through this process. Anytime I had any kind of question at almost any time of any day, Brandon responded quickly and professionally. He never once made me feel bad about it either.

Brandon also has a great deal of resources that came in handy when it came to attaining services that we were responsible for (i.e. home inspectors). Not once throughout this whole process did I ever feel like I was being "sold", pressured, or taken advantage of by a "salesman".
