I recently contacted Foster Realty of Waianae, Oahu regarding a beach rental which they had listed. I dealt primarily with Aileen L. Acosta, V.P. principal broker for Foster Realty. After an excruciating 2-week fiasco, I found it impossible to overcome the bad communication, lack of focus and poor judgement at Foster Realty and finally disengaged & went elsewhere.

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 would say a lot of great things about Inga's Realty. They are a family owned business and they…read morecommunicate well with their clients on a regular basis. I have learned a lot about the real estate market and home living through this real estate agency. They are the most helpful people when it comes time to finding a place to rent and they ensure your property is up to standards and that you have what you need to be a successful tenant and house owner. I had an issue with an oven and Inga's realty ordered a brand new one and fixed the issue right up. I am sure as I learn about the Real Estate Market in a positive light and learn some basics about home maintenance, I can foresee a beautiful relationship with this company to continue renting and succeeding in the real estate market. I believe the staff is highly professional and more than reasonable when it comes to meeting the needs of what people are looking for. Overall, 5 out of 5.

Laura Fleming and her team were absolutely amazing! We were on the fence about selling our first…read morehome in Hawai'i. That home was so special to us, and selling it was not an easy decision. Laura came highly recommended by our property manager, who had managed our home for several years--and now we know why. Please check out my review for Hawaii Pacific Property in Kapolei if you are looking for a good team to manage your home. From the start Laura was professional, organized, and extremely thorough. What stood out most about Laura was her empathy. She never pushed us to sell but truly listened and supported us through the process. Although we had exhausted all the options to make it work, I still had hope that somehow someway we could keep our beloved home. When we finally decided to sell she made a great personable presentation. Her presentation included clear charts, graphs, and market comparisons that made the process easy to understand and gave us full confidence in her strategy. Costs were upfront from the beginning. We were also in the process of purchasing another home on the mainland and had interviewed several realtors--and no one matched the caliber of Laura and her team. Their professionalism, communication, and genuine care set them apart. The communication was outstanding. We were notified every time someone viewed our home, and we received weekly email updates on how many times our listing had been viewed online, what homes sold in the area, . Laura personally called my husband or me every Monday with updates, and her team sent weekly seller reports with clear next steps. Everything was seamless, using DocuSign, Zoom, and other digital tools that made the entire process smooth and stress-free, even while we were on the mainland. We are so grateful to Laura and her team for guiding us step by step and making this sale such a positive experience. Highly recommend if you want a team who is professional, compassionate, and reliable!

I initially contacted Team Lally because Chat told me about their Guaranteed Sale Program, which…read moretheir website promotes as a way to sell your home quickly -- or they'll buy it. The website makes it sound straightforward and gives the impression that you can confidently move forward with purchasing another home. I mentioned this directly to Alesia Borja (MRP, SRES, PSA) before our Zoom meeting. As a listing partner with those credentials, I expected her to understand the program and explain how it works. Instead, the meeting turned into a long one-hour listing presentation, and the Guaranteed Sale Program was not discussed at all, even though that was the main reason I contacted them. Her follow-up response was that she would "connect me with the broker for clarity" and that the program is not designed for sellers who want a home sold in 30 days. That felt like my question was sidestepped rather than answered. Adding to the confusion, my husband listens to Adrienne Lally and Attilio Leonardi on their Saturday morning radio show, where they consistently say that "if they cannot sell your home, they will buy it." That messaging is very clear, yet the explanation I received suggested the reality may be much more limited. Because of that, the Guaranteed Sale Program felt more like a marketing hook to draw people in rather than something clearly explained upfront. Pros: Organized general listing presentation. Cons: The Guaranteed Sale Program, heavily promoted on their website and radio show, is not what it appears to be. Despite this being the main reason I contacted them, the program was not discussed at all during the meeting. Adrienne knew I already have a realtor, who would facilitate my purchase while Team Lally would sell my home, yet the program was still sidestepped. No follow-up has been received.

Teresa Abella is an absolute nightmare.

She does not do timely repairs it took three months for our roof to get repaired and in the process so many of the things that were in my daughters room were damaged. she makes unnecessary charges to rent. Speak to people very disgusting. Will never ever deal with her again.

My 1st experience with Team Real Estate was with Teresa Abella & it was NOT a pleasant experience…read more She does not return calls or voice messages promptly. She wont return emails at all. When you want to schedule a viewing she says "we are not doing any showings due to Covid atm" yet she is never in the office or able to answer her work phone. If and when she finally got around to calling you back, she say she is not accepting any application even though the listing is still posted on company website and has not accepted any applicants for that rental yet. She should be accepting & reviewing ALL application not detouring applicants from sending in it, And choose best applicate from the bunch for that unit. Teresa Abella is not for community support with the little amount of care she shown to my ohana trying to find a home. She is not committed to her job, and blames her company of being the ONLY one doing everything. Teresa Abella lacks professionalism and integrity and takes the minimum work load possible. She is a disgrace to the people of Hawaii who are in need of a home and trying desperately to meet her beyond half way.

This place is wonderful…read more First of all let me just get out of the way the very important detail of the scenery driving to the condos... Yes on the beach there are tents full of homeless people. If you lived in Hawaii without any help from the government and you would be homeless too because the inflation of everything. Before we got here we read a lot of things about people breaking into cars and stuff like that... Well tell you what I have never in my life had issues with people breaking into my car because I do not let myself be a victim! If you leave stuff in your car you're just opening the door for opportunity. Let me start by telling you the pros of this condominium.... The gate to the hotel parking lot requires a key fob... Then you have to use the key fob to get in to the steel gate to the actual condos... Then you need the key Fob to get you into the elevator... Then to get to your actual condo you need a key. There is security from 3 PM to sometime in the morning. The out side of the condos have been worn down from normal seaside wear and tear but are structurally intact. The elevator was very clean, the outside was clean and my condo was absolutely stunning. (We rented ours out through an AirBNB ad and it was the best thing ever). The beach is never busy always clean and crystal clear. The waves are a little rough at times near the shore it's perfect for inner tubes Rafes stuff like that... And once you get past the edge of the waves it's pretty calm and you could snorkel. The cons- This condo is a bit a ways away from large retail stuff like target Walmart Costco... It's only a short distance but because of traffic it takes a little bit longer than you like about 50 minutes to get into Honolulu 35 minutes to get to Costco. I would definitely recommend this place if you want a nice getaway from all the chaos of Hawaii :)
