My husband and I have been trying to find a rental that will accept our multiple pets for awhile…read morenow and have experienced that majority of the agents with other companies do not reply to any of our calls, emails, and/or texts. They don't even acknowledge that we reached out or applied. When a rental became available with Royal Realty, I immediately called the agent listed for the rental expecting no answer. However, he answered the phone immediately and was very pleasant and helpful! I was shocked! I told him, "Wow, thank you for even answering your phone! Most agents completely ignore my emails and calls." Rodney has consistently communicated with me throughout the viewing and application process. He has been the ONLY agent that has done so throughout our three months of hunting for a rental for our family. Just about when I was going to give up on finding a rental, we met Rodney today in person to view the rental and he was so kind and thorough. He explained every part of the home and even took us around the property to show us where the shared units were located, ones that we were not applying for, but that we would be sharing the space with. He took the time to get to know us as people and made us feel seen and welcomed. Most agents we've seen in person unlock the door and just tell us, "Okay you can go look inside" and never really talk to us or show us around. He was very transparent about the application process and the owners needing time to decide if they would be willing to accept our multiple pets. I told Rodney regardless of the outcome, I truly appreciated his timely and consistent communication with us and meeting him today. We are hopeful that the owners will accept our family and multiple pets, but even if not, our experience with Rodney makes us want to find a rental with this company since we know they will take care of us and our needs. Mahalo nui, Rodney!

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 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.

Trustworthy, honest and so eager to help me understand every aspect of buying a home. I felt like I was in good hands. I will definitely work with her again when I buy my second home. Currently we moved to WA and she is now our property manager with the help of Mishalei. I couldn't be more happier with the service ILR has provided over the years. They communicate so well and when we came back to visit Oahu in July 2023 for a graduation party, we drove by our house and we were surprised that our home was in better condition than when we lived there Hahahah! Lastly, Ebonee was so kind to help us navigate through the lease terms for potential rentals we were looking at in WA when she didn't have to!   We are grateful for the service Ebonee and her team have provided for us these past 7 years.

Within a few hours I started getting text messages and phone calls from the company. I requested no calls but they kept coming 1-2 per day for the past week along with text messages trying to suck up to me so I buy a house.

I firmly believe in the importance of a strong tenant/landlord partnership, which begins with trust…read moreand integrity as a foundation that must be built by both tenant and landlord equally. My partner and I have always strived to be exemplary tenants. As a non-smoking young professional couple, we have always taken special care of our (rental) home as though it were our own, paid the rent early, and not bothered our landlord for the "small stuff" we could fix ourselves. In turn, I am so grateful to have always nurtured a mutually respectful relationship with every landlord I have worked with (some more than others;) and we have been renters in Hawaii since 2003. In February, the small house I was renting was sold to new owners and Fahrni Realty, Inc. came on board as our new property management company. They made a great first impression on us in writing a letter of introduction and letting us know they are there to serve us in any way possible. At our initial home inspection, Jerome, Fahrni's agent, asked if I had any concerns and I showed him our old, malfunctioning refrigerator. He got right on it in talking to the owners and replaced our fridge soon thereafter. During the course of the inspection, our home also tested positive for termites and had to be fumigated. Fahrni Realty again was there every step of the way, offering to cover the cost of an overnight hotel stay for us or "comping" us for the night away. Since then, we've only had one small electrical issue, and Jerome was quick to send an electrician to take care of this in a timely fashion, as well. All in all, in the seven months we've been renting with Fahrni Realty and working with Jerome, this company has exceeded our expectations in terms of service, reliability, accessibility and friendliness. I like the fact that we've built a professional relationship on mutual trust; they have let us know they're here for us without smothering us with unnecessary surprise visits, inspections or correspondences. On one more note, when I went to pay my rent today at their office, they greeted me with a hug. Susan and Josie, who work in the office were so helpful in setting me up to make my monthly rental payments online. Couldn't get much easier than that!!! They exemplify the Aloha spirit and really made me feel like ohana. This makes me feel good about continuing to rent with them well into the future. Mahalo Jerome & Fahrni Realty! :)

We recently went through escrow for the purchase of a home worth over $1 million, and…read moreunfortunately, our experience with the escrow manager, Sherrie Kimata, was very disappointing. From the beginning, she spoke to me in a way that felt condescending and dismissive. Instead of taking the time to explain documents and the escrow process clearly, it often felt like she expected me to already understand everything she was talking about. Whenever I had questions, her responses came across as impatient and unpleasant rather than helpful. What stood out the most was the difference between her and the rest of the staff. Every other employee we interacted with was friendly, professional, patient, and respectful. Even though they weren't managers, they provided far better customer service and made us feel comfortable asking questions. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial transactions a person will ever make. Customers should never feel talked down to or made to feel like they're inconveniencing someone by asking for clarification. I hope this feedback encourages improvements in communication and professionalism, because the rest of the team was excellent.
