Mikey is the best realtor on the island! I've been working with him for the past three years and he has proven to be a motivated, self-starter with plenty of real estate knowledge. Mikey has helped me not only buy my first home, but also sell my first property. I offer my highest endorsement of Mikey and would not hesitate to request his services again should I ever find myself back in the housing market on island. read more

Michael Garcia is an outstanding real estate agent. He has the right combination of friendliness, professionalism, and market savvy to either find you your dream home or sell your existing property. He was able to sell our condo in a very challenging market. His attention to detail and bold marketing landed us an offer and eventually a sale of our condo. With Michael as your agent, nothing falls through the cracks. We highly recommend him to represent you in your real estate sale or to help you find your home. read more

Super helpful and guided me through the whole process of buying my first home. It was easy and made sure I understood what was needed and making sure I met deadlines to prevent delays during the process. I gave him a list of what I wanted in my home and he helped me find it. I will with no doubt consult him again with any future home purchases. read more

Amazing and patient realtor. We had a journey together buying my new investment property but we pulled through. Royal Aloha is prime and a great investment I'm happy to work with Mike and will continue to work with him on all my future property investments. read more

I expected that selling the condo in Waipahu while unable to leave the mainland for any significant periods of time would present some challenges. I was aware of repairs and upgrades that needed to be done before the condo would be sold. How to get this all arranged without spending a couple of months away from home and business? The answer turned out to be Mike Garcia from Keller Williams Honolulu. Mike managed to guide me to reasonable reliable repair services, updated me on repair work progress, and kept the whole process on track, not only during pre-sale preparations but during the sales process as well. Mike was always fair, honest, helpful, and trustworthy as well as meticulously detailed in his photo presentations and frequently updated reports. Mike followed up every lead with useful feedback comments from prospective buyers. If Mike said something was a certain way I could trust his judgement as I would my own which allowed me to make rational logical decisions from afar. Mike also created a timeline for the sales process and updated progress as we hit or got close to each milestone so I could track what was happening. I felt like I was right in the center of activity while I was still able to attend to my other business affairs. Perfect! Selling real estate from a distance is difficult to do but having Mike on my side made it possible to be effective - my eyes and ears on the scene. Mike is a true class act, the kind of business partner we all hope for! I appreciate Mike's help more than he will ever know. read more

Mike Garcia is without a doubt the most trustworthy agent we've ever dealt with. We have done a total of 7 real estate deals over the years on the mainland, and we have never run across anyone that we would A)recommend without hesitation to a friend, B) Trust enough to be able to handle a sale at a distance/out of the area for us. He's the only agent we've every used again - he helped us find this apartment for our daughter who was going to UH, and handled the purchase for us in 2015. When things in the process got complicated (not because of Mikey), he worked with us, was reassuring and resourceful. In talking to him during the process, it sounded like Locations also provided both of us with support, which we greatly appreciate.Honestly, it's hard to believe that we got so lucky to have met him through an internet marketing of our apartment originally, but are SO glad we did. Thanks to Mikey and to Locations for the excellent partnership you provided in this transaction! read more

I wish I could give Mikey 10 stars because I totally would! He works magic - there just isn't any other way to describe his skills. So we had been searching for the perfect condo in Waikiki for 6 months in anticipation of our trip there in the beginning of 2019. Since we are based on the East Coast, we were having a lot of trouble since the good places get scooped up quick. So even though we were searching online constantly, by the time we could even get information on a place it would be in escrow. By end of the year we were super stressed out and had to push our trip back. I finally decided to find an agent on our speed and turned to my trusted Yelp community. Mikey was immediately quick to respond and you could tell he knew what he was talking about. He found us the perfect 3 bedroom condo that we had seen before but had gone off market before we could get any info on it. It literally took him a DAY to find us a place, get info on it, get out to view the place and send us tons of videos and photos. Within a WEEK, he secured a sweet deal for us. We were ready to buy so, with his help, he even managed to get us to closing early! In the meantime he helped us find a great inspection company (turned out it was one I had used before and had a good impression of), an asbestos company, and a really great renovation company that works just as efficiently as he does. He met with these guys at the condo for us and FaceTimed with us while we were there. It really helped to put us at ease about being thousands of miles away. Did I mention he is also helping us get our Waikiki condo sold quickly even though other similar units in the building have been sitting for months? We're in the process of getting an agreeable deal thanks to his professional skills and knowledge of the market. I mean to say he goes above and beyond is an understatement. He's an amazing realtor to work with, very knowledgeable and gives great advice, proactive (which is so key for us I haaaate chasing people down), is technologically savvy, is a professional photographer (takes high quality condo photos so we didn't have to hire someone separately), great with people, and extremely flexible to fit your style and time table. And he's a sincerely nice guy that never makes you feel like you are bothering him (with that hundredth question). I think the ultimate tell of what we think of him as an agent is that we definitely look forward to working with him on all our future projects. Thanks Mikey! read more

Mike really is good. He has an incredible attention to detail and is very organized. We found Mike here on Yelp after getting poor service from 3 other RE agents who had been "recommended" by friends and associates left us frustrated and discouraged in our hunt for a single family home near HNL. We are recent transplants from the mainland and didn't have a clue where or what to look for. But we did know this- many if not most RE agents on the island are either incompetent or disingenuous or both. After deciding to fire our 3rd agent I went to Yelp just like you are now and found all these great reviews, so I posted a note to Mike's website (Sunday evening). 30 seconds later the phone rings and it is Mike! Later that night he had a list of about 10 comps to review. The next morning he met us for more discussion and review- location, amenities, price range- then proceeded to find homes that fit that criteria. All the other RE's we dealt with kept slipping in listings that were out of our price range or location, or bugging us to share our financial situation, or trying to get us to hire one of their buddies. Not Mike, he took what we told him and ran with it. Every day he would send an update as new properties came on listing. By the next weekend we toured 3 homes and decided to make an offer on one of them. Mike coached how to phrase the offer, what to include/exclude to make it more appetizing to the sellers. He put together a nice cover page with our photos and story and the next day... our offer was accepted! The next weeks Mike maintained an online spreadsheet what needed to happen next, whether it was us, the sellers, mortgage company, title company or inspectors. All we had to do to know where things stood was click a browser link. Because of this everything went bim-boom-bam and we closed in 43 days, that with a mainland lender taboot. If you want honesty, compassion and concern from your agent, call Mike, If you are tired of stuff falling through the cracks or getting a runaround or indifference and would like to try competency for a change, call Mike. read more

From the beginning to the end of our home buying journey, Mikey made purchasing our first home as painless as possible. We originally wanted to purchase a home in a new development in Kaneohe. Within 30 minutes of sharing our interest, we'd spoken with Mikey over the phone. Despite the fact that the Kaneohe home wasn't a great fit for us, Mikey created a portal that allowed us to see all other homes on the market that might be of interest to us. He really took the time to get to know our style. While viewing a home I discovered that a property we really liked was back on the market. Mikey's networking skills allowed us to view the home on the same day, and now we own it. He will go above and beyond for you. His use of technology took the guesswork out of purchasing a home. He created a timeline and reminders for us. He'd even follow up via text us to remind us of important upcoming events, and when we were too busy at work to make it to him, he'd always meet us halfway. When I was worried that breaking my lease would be problematic he even reached out to the property manager to see what could be done to assist. We are so grateful to have had him during this process. My husband was off island for most of the home buying journey for work. Mikey made it a point to continue to include him to make him feel like a part of the team. He even left the sold sign in our front yard that my husband could feel what I did the first time I walked into the home as the home owner. He is a class act. read more

My sister and I live in different states and needed to sell a very small investment property my Mom had given us when she passed. We contacted a couple of agents in Honolulu to help us sell the home and Mike responded and immediately began to assist us by answering questions and getting things ready (ordered a preliminary title report immediately). The property had an offer within 2 days, in contract shortly after and closed the transaction in less than 4 weeks. Throughout Mike lead the way and handled everything perfectly. Extremely organized, extremely generous with his time, extremely thorough and always responsive. It was one of the best experiences working with a service provider in my life. He handled everything with great care. Mike made us feel like we had family member in Hawaii representing my sister, me and my mom. The types of things he did (for example, carefully photographing everything in the apartment and the building, the way he did them....just like a family member. No question that this is your choice if you need help selling or buying real estate in Hawaii!!! We are so grateful for everything Mike did for us. read more

Mikey is awesome, very responsive and highly professional. He's very detail oriented and gives first time home buyer's a lot of confidence because of how in control of everything he is. Does a great job setting expectations and educating buyer's. Don't look any further, Mikey is your guy! read more

It was delightful having Mikey as our realtor. We moved from Texas to Oahu due to government employment and Mikey guided us before we purchased our condo. He gave us a run down of the island, where we should live/rent based on our needs. We rented for 6 months while we searched for our home. Mikey was very patient and understanding as we came to the realization we would not find anything near what we had in Texas. I appreciate his attention to detail and full understanding of the island which I highly recommend if this is your first time in Hawaii. We are previous home owners so we knew what to expect but it was impressive to see how he presents the process and helps a ton if you are a first time buyer. I highly recommend Mickey and his team! read more

Mikey was always professional and polite when assisting us in selling our home. He used all the right tools to market our home and answered all of the questions we had. Thank you again! read more

I was extremely grateful to have worked with Mike. He made buying our first home an incredible experience. What I appreciated the most was the constant attention to detail, honesty and the fact that he always went above and beyond. If i were ever to purchase another property or needed to suggest someone, it'd HAVE to be him. From day 1, everything was outlined. Every time I had a questions he was there and I loved the fact that he was down to earth and incredibly professional with every interaction. Thank you so much for all your hard work and for keeping me motivated throughout the entire process despite the obstacles! We are so grateful to have had you as an agent! read more

Mikey is an outstanding realtor. He is a super friendly, very nice and humble person. I was extremely impressed with the work that he does. He is super organized and always checking and planning his Google calendar making sure everything is on point. You have raised-the-bar for others in your field with your outstanding professionalism. I highly recommend you to others and will always come back to you for any of my real estate needs. read more

I just closed on my condo in Hawaii which was a short sale. two other agencies started to help me out and quickly passing it on to another Mike Garcia took the sale and RAN with it. When I was about to say the heck with it and let it get foreclosed as it was part of my bankruptcy he was able to keep me motivated and my spirits up and in a rather short period of time even with the bank and AOAO company playing HARD Ball. Mike even got Top Dollar for my condo!!!!! I am actually trying to move back to the island and if I am able to do I plan to purchase another property and will MOST certainly go through Mike. He was very understanding, professional and Friendly. I would give him 10 stars if it was an option. You will not be disappointed if you choose to go with him when buying or selling your home!! Thanks Mike for the Stellar job you did in selling my condo! read more

We bought our Condo in April and I think Mike Garcia did all the work for everyone! If the sellers and the selling agent couldn't understand how to use the internet Mike helped them or did it for them, just to get everything done. He really understood every step that needed to be done and if something didn't go perfect he was always confident and found a solution. He was working hard all the time, always answered the phone or called right back. Always answered my questions or found the answer. He made a time line to get my property to close on time and kept everyone on time. He was always there for us, from the first showing to the final signing and even gave us a ride. We feel like Mike is more of a friend than a realtor, he really takes care of you! Thanks, Mike read more

Mike Garcia of Bridge Real Estate Hawaii was a pleasure to work with. HI Pro Realty LLC just closed a transaction with him as the buyers agent, and we found Mike's professionalism and attention to detail was well demonstrated throughout the sales transaction. We look forward to working with Mike in the near future and highly recommend him as a Real Estate Professional. read more

Working with Mike was awesome! I've know him for years, and working with him was such a great experience. He was extremely professional from start to finish. Buying a home can be a big, scary, overwhelming experience but it wasn't working with Mike. He has a spreadsheet that lists out each escrow process step by step with due dates. His response time was almost immediate, and his follow up is impeccable. He genuinely cares for his clients; when the time comes to purchase our next home we will definitely be calling Mike! read more

So here I am once again to Thank Mike Garcia for another STELLAR job. This time my husband and I were in the market to purchase our first home together and Mike knocked it out of the ball park!!!! Mike really knows his stuff and as always is very professional, organized, and friendly. He is super quick to respond to emails and definitely puts in the hours. Hours I would not expect anyone in his profession to put in but that is how dedicated he is to his clients. They Are Always #1!! Mike is by far the best Realtor I have worked with and he is my realtor for life. Thanks again Mike!!!! It was a Pleasure working with you once again!!!! read more

Wow, Mike is the absolute professional for whom I cannot say enough. I arrived from the mainland with a couple days notice, Mike spent so much time in showing me various properties and giving me his invaluable input. For what is usually a fairly stressful situation, he made the entire process so much easier. He put me in contact with a fantastic title company rep, as well as a wonderful management company. I wish I had Mike as a realtor in my home city of San Francisco. Mike, thank you so very much, I hope to have future dealings with you again. read more

Mikey is amazing! He was more than what we could ask for. He made the buying process so easy and really put us at ease. This was our first time buying a house and he walked us through every step and broke down every step for us. We plan to use him again if we decide to buy again and have already started recommending him to our friends. He's the best! read more

We recently purchased a Waikiki condo with Mike as our realtor, and we were utterly impressed with his friendliness and professionalism. Without a doubt the best realtor I've ever worked with. The process in Hawaii is fairly difficult, but he was always one step ahead of all requirements, and posted a detailed checklist that showed at a glance where we were in the process, what's done and what's coming up next. When he would send an email, he'd also send a text to make sure we got it. He responded almost immediately to any question day or night. He also provided several recommendations for inspectors and for qualified repair people based on his previous experience with them. All in all, he made it an informative and fun experience, and even arranged for us to meet the sellers (which for some crazy reason is never done here in the Aloha State, go figure). We first met him at an open house before we were officially looking to buy, yet he offered to send us automated postings for certain buildings so we could see and learn about the market ahead of time. So naturally we called him immediately when we found the perfect condo for us at an open house about 2 years later. Would highly recommend him to anyone who likes friendly professional service every step of the way. read more
