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!

But after taking with Sean and Raullen, I was able to take the first steps and felt like I was finally heading in the right direction. Their team was in contact with me basically everyday from the initial calls to viewing, step by step they explained everything, and anytime I had questions or needed recommendations they were always there to answer. They work with the purpose of supporting you, and communicate so well between each other and the other key people it takes to close on home, that within a month or 2 I was signing and handed my keys!! It's been about a year since then, and I'm so thankful to them for being there and basically holding my hand through the whole process. I'll be sure to contact them again when the time comes! Thank you Sean and Raullen!!

And then retaliate charging for normal wear and tear of a house falling apart. We have pictures too. Shameful No damage was done on the property, as stated on the invoice this is normal wear and tear. Also this is a two unit property shared garage cans. With another tenant who also used the garbage cans, where we even helped our senior lower unit tenant dump her garbage the day we moved out, And when we moved in the cans were full and we had to request it to be removed. We have emails showing the cans were full and removed with rental company. Returning property as it was found, no damage done to the property. Normal wear and tear on the invoice and some are not even real. Duck tape so rodents don't go in the house.. wear and tear! And all health issues gone since moving out Security deposit can not be deducted for no damage and just wear and tear, as seen on invoice to the property. The towel bar was like 40 years old! Sean and Cathy can kick rocks with slippers on. Extremely unprofessional and unethical.

Update: Just a couple fact checks.... I provided a picture…read moreof Raeni's text. This shows she scheduled a time for us to pick up the keys early. She said at your office "that's what we do here at remax to help our tenants out" I even asked her if I owed her more rent for moving in early. So do not blame that on us. When we moved in the place was a mess. I also contacted Jay the previous tenant and she also stated when she moved in the place was a mess and the owners father would come by and just band-aid everything (also, if anyone wonders, Jay was the tenant just before us. You can see her review on Facebook for Aloha Remax) Second fact... The 7k check I got was an agreed on contract. You and the owner wanted my family of 5 to pick up and move again after we lived in the property for only a week. That was not a gift, it was an agreement. I get 4800 and my deposit back and you get a empty house to sell. The owner and I both had a huge compromise in that matter. Don't pat yourself on the back. Also we told you guys on June 3rd about mold in the kitchen and the bathroom. Not one single company came to remove said mold in the whole month we were there. We moved out on July 5th. You had two companies provide quotes, but the owners father who does not specialize in mold decided he was going to do one of his band aid fixes. We said no, we would like a professional to fix the mold issue and moved out of that mold infested place. Also your Gift ( cheap wine and box of chocolates) was nice. But when you rent out a $2300 home at least have the place clean when someone moves in. I have a few hundred pictures I can gladly upload on that. Then when you follow that up with never cleaning the air conditioner and never removing the mold and fixing the water damaged wall that was dripping from when you flush the toilet (Gross). It's hard to be thankful for cheap wine and chocolate. But thanks for the health hazard. Much love We rented a house through Remax at 95-1034 Ainamakua Dr. Apt 17A. We only lived there for a month as the owner wanted to sell. In that month, we dealt with Mold and numerous other issues. (We had 3 mold inspectors confirm it was mold) this house is up for sale right now. So please have the downstairs bathroom ceiling carefully inspected along with the kitchen. There is also water damage from the upstairs toilet leaking. I say all this because they love to put Band-Aids over big problems instead of actually fixing things. Before you sign anything with them, make sure you have this house carefully inspected. I would also have an air quality test done. Also, be aware, we showed up while the cleaners for the rental property were there and it was Ray's wife an son. Very strange. But just a side note.
