I cannot say enough wonderful things about my realtor, Pam Maeda. From the very beginning, Pam truly believed in me and my dream of homeownership. She patiently answered my questions, walked me through the entire process, listened carefully and helped ease my worries every step of the way. She connected me with my loan officer and always knew who to pair me up with to make the process seamless. Pam consistently showed up and checked in on me, making sure I never felt alone or overwhelmed. She was there for my walk-through and on key-receiving day, which meant so much to me. Her insight and expertise on walk-through day helped me look for things that I would never have thought of or considered, which is helpful when purchasing a new home. If not for her, I would have overlooked defects or flaws that I didn't know to look for. Her guidance, reassurance and steady presence made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and even exciting. She was patient with me and never made me feel as though any question or concern or even emotion was silly. Pam is knowledgeable, responsive and genuinely cares about her clients. She doesn't just do her job, she supports you, advocates for you and sees the process through from start to finish. Thanks to Pam, my dream of homeownership became a reality, and I am forever grateful. If you're looking for a realtor who truly listens, believes in you and shows up for you every step of the way, Pam Maeda is the one. Thank you, Pam! You are awesome sauce!! read more

Working with Kevin and the team at Marcus and Associates was one of the best decisions we made. Kevin is incredibly knowledgeable, down to earth, and always responsive.

Thank you, Kevin and team, for your outstanding service! read more

We can't speak highly enough of Marcus & Associates! They were recommended to us by a colleague and truly took amazing care of us! Lorraine and Nick went above and beyond in every aspect as we planned our big move from Minneapolis to Oahu! Their personal care and efforts before we came out in person, while we were here looking, and during the closing/move in process were incredible! Beyond just the personal care and hospitality shown, they did a number of virtual showings, plus 16 showings over 3 days during our house hunting trip, even planning beach time for our girls. We found a beautiful home that checked all of our boxes while here on our trip, got an offer accepted and are now living here! They've even given us recommendations for their best service providers here. We truly love them and are so thankful! read more

Marcus Realty - Lorraine Fukumae - Property Management Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Excellent real estate agents!! Lorraine Fukumae and Charlene Ikeda represented the seller of a Honolulu area home. As a personal friend with real estate experience, I assisted and provided feedback to the seller in all phases of the sale. The home had a great view and lot size but it had not been maintained over the years. Lorraine and Charlene developed a plan to highlight the best attributes of the house. The seller was smart and followed their advice. Without a doubt, the staging of the house and Lorraine and Charlene's understanding of the neighborhood enabled the seller to obtain a great sales price during a difficult period with mortgage interest exceeding 7%. From my experience in the past - the majority of brokers during the vetting process may make a lot of promises but fail to honor them. The reverse happened with this team. Lorraine and Charlene efforts exceeded their promises. USE THIS TEAM AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! read more

She has *decades* of experience, so her recommendations are solid. I highly recommend Lorraine Fukumae and Marcus Realty!!! :=) read more

So sketchy that they have more than one Yelp page. These people are absolute scum. We came to view an apartment, and Rowena did not show up. We called her, and she had forgotten the appointment, so we waited for her to drive over. We toured the apartment, and before leaving, we told her our income and credit scores, and she indicated that should be fine. She acted nice, but it was only an act. When we went to apply, we had to pay $28 per adult, and I had forgotten my credit file was locked. When I went to unlock it, they informed us that they would have to charge BOTH of us AGAIN to run our credit file. Um what??? That makes NO SENSE. But, because she had indicated our income and credit scores would be okay, we bit the bullet and paid AGAIN. Then she called me to say she didn't like a particular debt on my credit - I have been approved for financing a BMW and our scores are good enough for a mortgage - not great but good enough - and she has the nerve to nitpick over a credit card. The fact that we included a recommendation letter from our previous landlord saying we paid faithfully for over 3 years didn't matter. She was rude and actually said the words "Yeah, the thing is, I'd love to rent the unit out, but we're not that desperate." BITCH. She was so judgmental and rude as soon as she decided we were not good enough to rent to, EVEN AFTER WE TOLD HER our scores and income and she said that was fine. We would not have paid TWICE to apply to this place if we thought they would nitpick like this. Of course you're not "DESPERATE" when you scam people who are just trying to find a place to live. I don't understand how people aren't ashamed to be hoarding housing especially during A PANDEMIC. Absolute scumbags. We ended up renting a unit across the street, same neighborhood, but now a much better landlord will be getting our money. Rowena, if you're reading this: FUCK. YOU. read more

Jason Nishikawa and Charlene Ikeda at Marcus Realty helped us sell our parents' house. They were extremely knowledgeable about market conditions and let us know exactly what to expect.

All their experience and expertise was paired with kindness and understanding that letting go of our of childhood home was not easy. We are very satisfied customers of Marcus Realty. read more

Marcus Realty was referred to me by my appraiser when the decision to sell the family property was made. Kevin Nishikawa was my realtor who put me immediately st ease by explaining the different steps we would make going forward and taking the time to answer my questions and also those of my relatives on the mainland who also had questions. He was always pleasant and patient in going over certain real estate laws/regulations and how it affected our piece of property. I was very grateful for his knowledge, expertise and his cool head in navigating me thru the ins & outs of this venture. Being a liaison between my 8 relatives, the accountant, the Tax Dept. and the attorney meant I already had my hands full. For Kevin to ALWAYS come thru for me by being 4 steps ahead of the game meant a LOT!! When he encountered glitches that could possibly derail the sale he always had a viable suggestion that kept us moving forward. His knowledge and experience was invaluable and frankly, ANYONE who has the good fortune to have Kevin for their broker is going to come away from the experience satisfied and happy!! How was my experience with Marcus Realty and Kevin Nishikawa? TERRIFIC Would I recommend Marcus Realty & Kevin Nishikawa? I have and I will continue to do so! All I can say is "Thank you!" to Kevin for running things so smoothly and not allowing it to be the nightmare I was dreading! Mahalo from the bottom of my heart and wishing Marcus Realty & Kevin much success in the coming years!! read more

Thank you for an amazing opportunity and experience Arnette! read more

Jason Nishikawa from Marcus Realty was our Realtor and did an excellent job selling our property. We've been working with Marcus Realty for the past 10 years and have received the best service. He was people-oriented, friendly, and very likable. His enthusiasm, efficiency, strong communication skills and ability to listen to our specific needs was much to be appreciated given our dire situation to sell immediately. Through the sale process, Jason was a very good listener who asked appropriate questions to help him better understand our situation and thereby enabling our sale to close as quickly as possible. His use of technology definitely facilitated our sale. All offers were presented to us in a table that was created specifically for our sale and led to the selection of the best buyer. read more

We were extremely pleased with the professional support provided by Nick Kawakami to sell our home of 33 years. His expertise and attention to detail provided a confident approach to the rather intense, drawn out, buyer slanted, process to sell a house in Hawaii. He handled a title issue, scheduled and had all tasks completed that were necessary for his staging my house. His staging put my house in such a positive light that it received many offers in the first week from the 1st and only open house necessary. As a result, I sold my house at a price considerably higher than asking. His management of the numerous steps and required coordination with all parties in the process was excellent while keeping us informed of all critical steps along the way. Even arranging for final signatures close to our new home. It was our pleasure working with Nick and highly recommend him to anyone who wants to sell a house in Hawaii. You will be very happy. read more

We are very fortunate to have Jamie Apuna from Marcus Associates as our realtor who not only sold our home in a week, but multiple offers, and well over asking. She accomplished this during restrictions from Covid. Jamie was there for every showing making sure everything was clean and safe when we returned. We had to remain living in our home, because of special medical needs. Jamie always gave us a heads up, giving us plenty of time to be able to leave the house for scheduled appointments. She made us feel like we were her only client, always available to us by responsive phone calls, texts, and visits. I would assume Marcus and Associates promotes this behavior. That personal touch and not being handed off to another agent or team member. Including putting together a farewell party, that's Jamie. If you want a realtor that goes above and beyond, even dealing with Covid19 restrictions, Jamie Apuna is that person. Lucky and Tony read more

We have been working with Arnette Ishikawa on finding an apartment to rent in Honolulu. We are grateful for the prompt, detailed assistance we have been receiving from Arnette. It's challenging to find an apartment during a pandemic - but Arnette has made the process simple and clear. She has always responded right away when I have reached out to her with questions. It's wonderful to work with someone you can trust online, as we cannot be in Hawaii at the moment! We look forward to working more with Arnette in the future! read more

Ive been living in the apt. for 1 year now and things have been great. Arnette helped me successfully move into this apartment within a couple days which was awesome for me because I had a sudden change in work around the time of my old lease ending which could have easily turned into trouble. Recently I had an issue with the lock on my mailbox breaking. Arnette had the locksmith there within 10-15 minutes to resolve the issue and gave me a new lock and key. Updates due to COVID are done in a timely manner. I was also included in a group chat to help find neighbors dog. Dog was found! I make my rent payments on time and haven't had any issues with Marcus Realty. Looking ahead, I plan to renew my lease. read more

I am very appreciative that I was able to view and sign a leasing agreement without being on island. Me. Ishikawa was immensely helpful during the application process and even stopped by to make sure I had settled in after. The location is great, the interior was professionally cleaned beforehand, and everything is in good working order. I am very happy with my decision. Mahalo for the support and commitment. read more

My parents were living in an apartment for about 20 years in Honolulu. When the previous landlord ended up passing away, this "business" ended up taking over. He warned my parents to move away as soon as possible because he hated these people (they were his family) and thought they were a bunch of sketchy, greedy snakes.. and boy was he right! They failed to fix the shower in the apartment and decided to kick them out instead after renting from them for about 2 years. Up until this point, they were raising the rent every month by the hundreds despite the fact that they were living there under Section 8 from the time I was a baby. The landlord had a unprofessional way of carrying herself and was pretty vile over the phone. When they decided to evict my parents they gave them one week to vacate the property over the phone but when my parents brought an attorney into the situation, they ended up giving them more time to move out! WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THING THEY ARE!? They were trying to take advantage of my vulnerable and disabled parents! And me just coming out of high school and heading off to college when this was going on, I knew what they were doing wasn't right! They were more than happy to illegally throw my parents and little brother on the streets within a week without any written justification other than just an intimidating phone call! But at least they attempted to fix the shower while also leaving holes in the wall with tape over them for more than 2 months up until the time they forced us out. Not to mention the mold that may have caused health complications, roach infestation, neglect of the property, and causing emotional distress upon my family. These people will do whatever it takes to take your hard earned cash with little to no sympathy for your wellbeing whatsoever while also giving you sketchy and fraudulent looking invoices and "estimates" so they can withhold your entire safety deposit. Please note that this company is also not able to do business with the state as well due to not being compliant with the IRS and Department of Taxation. If you're getting evicted, make sure you consult with an attorney. Marcus & Associates are more than happy to take advantage of you and your family. Also, ask for a prorated rent if they're making you move out because they were about to charge them the full amount before my parents mentioned it after talking to an attorney.

I leased via Marcus Property Management for 4 years. I have absolutely zero complaints! They were extremely flexible with my work schedule in regards to maintenance and inspection visits. Anytime that I had a question, concern, or issue, I was quickly responded to in a professional and courteous manner. Arnette Ishikawa was my agent and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this property management company if you are looking for someone to lease through. read more

I sincerely hope this message helps some people in the future while considering this company. My roommate and I chose to live with Marcus Property for our last year of college and got treated like specs of dirt. The initial start was great and we were very content with the service. Our original landlord, Ms. Teriann was so gracious and treated us students like adults who were thoroughly interested in renting out property. As we did so, Teriann was always available and gave us all the contact information on who to call and when. Where my roommate and I first experienced a plethora of hassle was when we had no idea Teriann went on medical leave. We had reached out to her numerous times and no response, so naturally, we contact anyone we could at Marcus Property when we had some questions about possible move-outs. Not only did we have to go in-person after a number of phone calls and e-mails, we had to ask Ms. Arnette about the current situation. You would think that something like this would be addressed to tenants immediately, however we received no formal notice. Ms. Arnette as our "new" landlord treated my roommate and I with zero respect and completely acted like she owned not just the property, but us as well. Never once were we late on any payments, nor did we have any physical damages or issued with the property, but we felt completely looked down upon, strictly on a low level of expertise. As we began our move out process, there again was an issue with communication. It was hard to 1) get solidified answers from our questions out of anyone, let alone our landlord and 2) get a hold of anyone, let alone our landlord. I would hope that no other future tenants experience the lack of professionalism. I am truthfully sorry to say that this is a business that needs help, because if it is as evident as it is to college students, it must be equal for those with much more experience in this field. read more

Marcus & Associates, especially Joy Yonemura Oda, has sold 3 homes for me and she has been a "Joy" to work with.

Joy is also returns calls, emails, and text promptly so you always know where you stand. And she knows the business inside and out. On all 3 homes she's sold for us, we received more than our asking price.
