Like someone…read moreelse wrote in their review: "Their professionalism is unmatched, especially their care for details." I couldn't agree more. I worked with another real estate agent before Joe and the difference was night and day. Not only did I need to sell my Hawaii property long distance, the market at the time was challenging and the apartment building was scheduled for repiping. But Joe and his team came through every step of the way. From the beginning, they provided a clear break down of costs vs. expected actual net profit and offered various options for marketing packages. Finally, when my unit sold, they provided weekly updates of the current timeline till closing. If you're still reading this, just take one meeting with Joe and you'll know.

We were hoping Royalty Realty had something available for what we were looking for (sadly they didn't at the time) since we've had the best experience over the past 4 years with them. Our amazing property manager Michelle Lum made living in one of their units such a joy. Any little issue that came up she was right there and always so helpful every step of the way. We appreciate everything they've done for us, especially her, and making our living experience so comfortable. We will definitely always check back in with Michelle for our future property needs. Thank you for the last 4 amazing years. Aloha!

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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Shari Hooks, and the level of service I received was…read moretruly outstanding. It was evident that Shari loves being a realtor and is a professional at it. She has been a realtor for 18 years and have a special place in her heart for military families. She is personable and is a great communicator. From our first conversation to posting closing, she was genuinely open to every discussion, following up on concerns, questions, and repairs, to achieve the best outcome moving this purchase transaction to escrow closing. AND, what makes this review so unusual is that Shari represented the Seller's agent! As the Buyer I felt comfortable in representing myself in the transaction. I couldn't be happier with the experience and highly recommend Shari Hooks to anyone buying or selling a home. As for me, the next time I'm looking for a realtor, Shari is on the top of my contact list.

We've known Shari and her family for years, and when it became time to make the relationship professional, we were more than ready. We disclosed the reasons for wanting to sell our home and Shari was understanding, empathetic, and realistic when setting expectations for us. Those expectations however, were blown out of the water. Shari is so much more than a realtor; she is a partner, a confidante, and a ready and willing teammate. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement, though I'd be remiss if I did not say it. Every showing, every negotiation, she was there by our sides to talk us through what to expect and proposed next steps. I could not be more grateful to have Shari as our realtor through this process, and I can in good confidence say we would not be where we're at today without her. I will always pick Shari to be in my corner and I highly recommend those looking for a realtor choose the same.

It is a 500 square-foot one bedroom apartment. Not a room in our home.
