We sold the house simultaneously bought the house. It was really stressful time. Mike was very calm and always be there for us. Everytime we call him, he will call us back right away. We asked him so many question and he never fail to answer. We love our old house so unless we get something better we won't move. At the end, we get our dream house that meet all our dream house check list. It's a trade up! I love my house now but if I ever need another house, I will go to Mike Yoshino again.

Mike Yoshino is by far the most professional and patient person we have met to date. He took us on…read moremore than 50 showings and personally sat our open houses, buying food and coffee with his own money. Our indecisiveness would have made any other agent frustrated but Mike was always smiling and ready to see the next. We think of Mike as family more than just our agent. He approaches everything with a positive, can do attitude. If I could describe our experience with Mike, buying and selling in a word, it would be phenomenal. He would constantly meet us on the west side during rush hour traffic to show us a listing or two for maybe an hour total with no complaints! Not to mention his A/C in his personal vehicle wasn't working in the midst of summer! We can't express our thanks to him because his selflessness has left us at a loss for words. Mike oversaw all of our transactions even though he was off island and always made himself available for any question or request no matter the size. I never thought that having a simultaneous close could be so easy and stress free, I don't know if that's usually how these things go, but with Mike it was. Needless to say, Mike will always be our first person to seek out whenever we have any realty processes in the future! Thank you Mike we owe you so much!!

Our real estate experience with Erik Taniguchi and his wonderful team of Cari Anne, Daniel, Kristen…read moreand Cacia at Taniguchi & Associates was nothing short of extraordinary. What we accomplished together was a Section 1031 like-kind exchange with our Ewa Beach condo the relinquished property and our replacement property a brand new luxury condo in The Ward Park Village. First Erik referred us to a great no fee(yes, NO FEE) 1031 Exchange Facilitator who expertly guided us through the exchange process and saved us $4-5K in fees. His team then advised us through some tricky stages for the Ewa Beach condo sale which was wonderfully staged by Cacia Taniguchi the home staging expert. With the sale of our Ewa Beach condo closed, we now entered a new phase, with time ticking for the worrisome 45 day and 180 day 1031 exchange deadlines. No sweat, with Cari Anne we easily met the 45 day requirement with The Park Ward Village unit under contract within one week after the Ewa Beach condo closing. Big shout outs to Cari Anne Nada, Daniel Lucariello and Kristen Young for shepherding us to the finish line of our Park Ward Village 30 day closing. We highly recommend Erik Taniguchi & Associates and his great team, mahalo!

We have bought and sold several homes over the years, and this one was easily the best one. They made the home selling experience very smooth and positive from start to finish. Erik will be our realtor for our next one, too. He has certainly earned it. Erik has a tried and proven blueprint for success. He followed the professional marketing plan he designed for us and Cacia beautifully staged our home. Everything Erik said would happen, indeed happened - multiple offers, well over the asking price. We could not have been happier with the results. Communication was clear and consistent and we knew where we were in the escrow timeline from start to finish. When we had a question, Erik was always available for us. We owe a great deal of gratitude to the team at Taniguchi and Associates.

I've been a longtime tenant of one of the apartments Young Properties managed. They are a small…read morefamily-run operation. When we had to find a property to rent, we saw a listing in the newspaper way back when - we called and left a message to see the property and Sylvianne Young called us back almost immediately to show us. We took it right then and there as we were in a transition period. Throughout the over decade we've worked with them they have been nothing but kind and helpful to us when we needed things to be taken care of. The landlord/owner of the property lived in the same property as us and it was very easy to get help for any types of issues. If you stayed quiet and paid your rent on time and kept the property in good shape, they were essentially very hands off. I am writing this because the current property I'm in has been sold off to a new owner and they've done their best at letting us know in advance of any visits that needed to be done for the new owner. Unfortunately, the new owner has requested all tenants to vacate as they plan on remodeling the entire house, so this more or less forces me to end my business relationship with them as a tenant. Sylvianne is currently retiring and has handed over the reigns to her daughter, Pamela Acosta and Pamela is just as kind and patient as her mother. The entire staff that works there are great too. If you call their office you will most likely be talking to Adrianne and Adrianne has the upmost best professional service, you'll never catch her on a bad day if you call her. You don't get the sense they're trying to sell you something or treat you like just another "tenant"; they pride themselves in having loyal and long-lasting tenants and they're very local as you can get. If you find a property being sold or rented out by them, give them a call, your experience will be a lot better as a tenant than some other companies out there!

My husband and I have sold and purchased many homes. Ben Mathieu, by far, has been the best…read morerealtor we have used. He was professional, courteous and helpful in all aspects of the sell of our home. He was more involved than any other agent by being available 24/7. This relieved stress associated with selling a home, especially during the corona virus. He was present for everything. Most realtors have a check list of things they will or will not do; with Ben, his dedication was evident throughout. We never had to wait or worry that things weren't getting done. We highly recommend Ben. If you are looking for someone who will get the job done and get you the most from your investment, he is your guy! P.S. He is very mindful of any special needs you may have. Our two cats were treated like family and we appreciated the care he showed them. Ben is also fluent in Japanese which was also a nice touch and very welcoming for clients during showings.

My husband and I were highly motivated to sell our condo and we knew we were facing a challenging market. From our very first meeting, Brandon was well prepared and knowledgeable, while also taking the time to listen to our expectations and goals. Brandon's expertise helped us price our condo strategically, and we received a cash offer within the first 2 weeks. He was also extremely helpful throughout the negotiation process and went above and beyond to help us navigate the many details and questions that came up along the way. Brandon is professional, responsive and easy to work with. He made himself available when we needed him and went out of his way to meet with us at our convenience. We were confident that we could trust him with every detail making the selling process much less stressful. We highly recommend Brandon 5 stars!

Brandon Sakata IS THE BEST!!!!!…read more He is professional, thoughtful, a great listener, and an excellent problem solver. He leverages his extensive relationships throughout the real estate community to set his clients up for success. Brandon recently assisted us with the sale of an investment property during a slow condo market. He helped us navigate potential pitfalls and devise a clear strategy. His research was invaluable, and having him as a resource was truly priceless. Throughout the process, he worked closely with our tenant to ensure they were comfortable. He coordinated with vendors for photography, built a strong social media presence, and gathered the necessary information to host successful open houses. Thanks to his efforts, we received several offers above the asking price within a week. Brandon takes the stress out of managing all the moving parts. He kept us informed every step of the way, building a level of trust that exceeded our expectations. He is now helping us with a new purchase, and we couldn't be happier! I highly recommend having a conversation with him to see what he brings to the table.

I have been fortunate to work with Shannon Zerfas at Blue Cove Properties in all 3 phases of her…read morebusiness - purchasing, selling and rental management. I must say she is awesome. Back in July 2021, when places in Oahu were just starting to show in person again, I called Shannon. I let her know upfront that I wasn't looking to buy for about 5 years. She treated the same as if I was buying that month. She was very knowledgeable but always kept my interests as her first priority. I flew out, and we looked at a number of houses and condos in Kailua. A few days later, based on what she learned of my interests, we looked at another condo outside of Kailua that she felt matched my interests fairly closely. She really helped me refine what I was interested in as well as the process that would take place. And when the perfect place came up for sale in 2023 right when I was doing great financially, I flew out and we put an offer in. Shannon was on top of everything every step of the way, and we successfully closed. At that time, Blue Cove was not doing rental management, so I had to choose another company. They were awful! The tenants were unhappy. I couldn't get the management company to get anything done right, and they were tough to communicate with. When Shannon started the rental management aspect of her business, I had her take over the management of my property. Shannon made an appointment with the tenants and came out in person to see what issues the tenants had. She listened to what they had to say and show her. Then she contacted me on the best courses of action to take. I approved everything she recommended. She then executed the plan, and the tenants were happy for the first time since they moved in! Unfortunately, I had some financial difficulties and had to sell my Hawaiian hale this year. So, of course, I called on Shannon Zerfas again. We came up with a game plan. She recommended being aggressive, so we listed it for about $150K more than I thought it was worth. Within 2 days, we got a cash offer for over asking and closed in just under a month! Granted some of that was luck, but I credit her for a lot of it. I looked her ad and the staging that was done, and I wanted to put an offer in with the furniture included. I will be buying a hale on Oahu again in a few years, and there is no realtor I will use other than Shannon Zerfas with Blue Cove Properties!
