Whenever I had a question or needed assistance, I received timely updates and felt like I was treated with genuine respect and care. It's refreshing to work with a property management company that values transparency and keeps tenants informed every step of the way. Things in life don't always go as expected or planned, so it's refreshing to rent from a company that leads with both professionalism and compassion. During an unexpected season in my life, Royal Realty treated me with understanding, respect, and genuine empathy rather than making me feel like just another tenant. They took the time to communicate, work with me, and handle the situation with grace, which made a difficult time much more manageable. That level of kindness and integrity is rare, and it's something I will always appreciate. It's not often one can see a service fee and feel like the value of service is much greater than charged. One of the things that impressed me most was how efficiently maintenance requests were handled. Repairs were addressed promptly, and the maintenance team was courteous, knowledgeable, and respectful of my home. It was clear that Royal Realty takes pride in maintaining their properties and ensuring their tenants have a positive living experience. I would confidently recommend Royal Realty to anyone looking for a landlord that prioritizes excellent service, clear communication, and dependable property management.

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.

Working with Justin and Team Taparra was one of the best experiences we've had in a real estate…read moretransaction. Their level of care, communication, and thoroughness truly made us feel like we were their only clients. In reality, I know they are incredibly busy but you would never feel that from the attention they give. The team kept everything organized and transparent through multiple forms of communication. They consistently summarized progress, next steps, and anything we needed to know in a clear and simple way. Their approach allowed us to stay updated without feeling like we had to manage or track every little detail ourselves. As full-time working parents with three young kids, that level of support and effective communication made a huge difference for us. We always felt supported, informed, and confident that things were being handled thoroughly behind the scenes. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, highly organized team that genuinely cares about their clients.

Passed by the house the day before it was sold and it looked so peaceful as if my mom knew it was going to be in good hands. God sent us an Angel and I know my mom is smiling with him from up above. Great job team, forever greatful & God bless.

I was referred to Caron by my realtor in Southern California. We communicated for a couple months…read moreprior to my visit to Honolulu in August. Once we arrived, Caron already knew what we were looking for and had several properties scheduled for us to tour. Unfortunately, we were unable to find the ideal property during our visit. Inventory was low and being that we live on the 9th island, the cost per square foot was no comparison to Vegas. I was very impressed with Caron's enthusiasm and knowledge of the local market. I know she keeps very busy, but during the time she spent with us, we felt like we were her only client! Without a doubt, when we find our home in Oahu, Caron will be our agent! In the meantime, she will continuing to keep her real estate radar searching for the perfect property that will have our name on it!

When my husband and I started to seriously contemplate our move to Honolulu from SF, Caron selected a great range of properties within our price range to help us understand the options. Caron was super easy to talk to -- you will never feel pressured and will only feel grateful to have her on your side. I could tell during our short time together that Caron was a huge advocate for her clients and would go above and beyond for them. Now that we have made the move (renting first), we cannot wait to have Caron help us find a more permanent option.

Had a great upfront experience and conversation with Gill Mara about a few of the rental property…read morelistings posted by RedFin. Overall he was courteous and incredibly responsive via email and online inquiry. A few of the rental properties weren't available for immediate showing, which I understand, but Gill did a great job at scheduling me for the earliest dates and times. Unfortunately, things quickly turned when Gill began asking for a (maybe refundable) deposit prior to the official showing date. A rather large deposit amount may I add. I just didn't like feeling pressured into putting money into a rental property that I hadn't seen or experienced yet. Ended up withdrawing my interest due to the pressure.

Christina came very highly recommended to me from a close friend who has a lot of experience in…read morereal estate. My experience with Christina from Day 1 to Closing was excellent. Christina is the kind of real estate agent that makes you feel like you are her top priority -- not other clients, not the commission, not the minimum amount of work required to keep you happy. She diligently and patiently seeks to understand your specific and unique needs as a client; she always has time for your questions and concerns; she hustles with speed and precision towards mutually agreed upon goals; she has a very mature understanding and masterful navigation of the real estate landscape and the negotiation/closing process; as a long-time industry insider, she has knowledge of most major players and can leverage that knowledge to your advantage in the negotiation process. And, even while achieving several major financial wins for me in the closing process, she conducted negotiations in a way that both respected my objectives as a buyer and respected the perspective of the selling party. I suspect that other realtors respect her professionalism as much as clients like myself directly benefit from her significant industry experience. I am so grateful for the expertise, thoroughness, and friendliness she brought to our working relationship. I will highly recommend her to my friends and family, and I look forward to working with her again myself.

We were first time homebuyers and just recently moved to the island, but she helped make a potentially overwhelming and confusing process into something painless and efficient. Because she's so good at her job, there's lots of people wanting to work with her, but she does a good job at giving you her focus when it matters, making you feel like you're her only client. With her help, we were able to visit 50 homes within the first 25 days of us being on island (and I was still working, too), we got our third offer accepted, and we were able to speed up the normal closing timeline from 50 to 35 days. Honestly, my wife and I asked each other towards the end, "Why does everyone say this is such a stressful process?" With Christina, we enjoyed the process and got a home we love. We've been in our new home for almost 4 weeks, and are so happy with how everything went. Again, we highly recommend Christina!
