Also a huge help in taking care of the renters, being the "middle man" when issues would arise with plumbing, electrical, washer/dryer, etc. Reliable communication from Eric, getting us the rental documents and tax forms completed on time and sorted. Made the process at the end of the year go so much more smoothly. I'd also like to add, we never had extended periods of time without a renter. All the hassle of showing the unit and meeting all these people is tiring and extremely time consuming. As the "landlord" we really never noticed when one renter left and another entered. Eric made the transition so easy and fluid. Wish we had found Eric's help years earlier! Couldn't have asked for a better Property Manager

HORRIBLE!!!! My roommate and I scheduled a viewing with Courtney Oshiro and the experience was the…read moreworst I have ever had with a realtor. She led us to the apartment, opened the door, and stood there. Did not even try to say anything about the place to us or sell it. We needed to move in pretty soon, so we called her the day after 10 times, and never got any response (even though it was a business day, and within business hours). Her answering machine would keep saying the listing was unavailable but how would she even know who was calling and which property we were talking about? And she told us the day of that we were the only people interested? SO UNPROFESSIONAL. Would never use her as a relator. Very rude and didn't care about possible tenants. Stay away.

The most unprofessional real estate group I have ever encountered. Listed my restaurant w/ them…read morelast year in March. During the course of time, my listing has been neglected and ignored by 2 of their associates. Who were supposed to be in charge of my listing. No phone calls, no updates, and definitely didn't put any energy into finding me a buyer. They pretty much left me in the dark with little to no contact for almost a year. In their defense, they attempted to scheduled a few showings of my restaurant but neglected to confirm the time from both parties. And did not try to reschedule or made any attempt to move things forward in the right direction.. And now they are terminating my listing & contract I had signed with them, because I was told by one of their associate that she was not able to allocate time to my listing.. They wasted 10 months of my time and now they want to take the easy way out. Honestly I could go into so much more details about everything I experienced w/ CBRE. These people need to be held accountable for wasting my time and interrupting my plan of selling my restaurant. Now I have to go find someone else who will actually care about their job and their client's listing. Hopefully there are still good companies out there in the commercial real estate market. CBRE is a HUGE disappointment!!! Don't waste your time w/ them..

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my realtor, Pam Maeda…read more 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!!

Russ Trinidad is excellent, trustworthy, dependable, and honest. He is the perfect type of real…read moreestate professional you want handling one of the most important and expensive decisions in your life -- where you will live. I am very picky with my housing needs, as a military officer experienced with multiple moves, homes owned, and homes rented (as renter and landlord). Last summer when I had to sell my Waikele house that I rented out for over 20 years, I chose Russ to represent me, instead of the outstanding real estate company that managed this rental house (this company represented me when I initially purchased this house over 20 years ago). I needed an extra special real estate professional, as I was expecting a difficult sale in late 2022. The tenant unexpectedly passed away, the Hawaii housing market crashed, mortgage rates hit historic highs, and the house was in need of major renovations. After interviewing several highly recommended real estate professionals, including those that UpNest arranged for me, I discovered Russ. It was only after extensive interviews that I discovered what a hidden gem Russ was. The low number of customer reviews on the various real estate websites do not do Russ justice. The result? As I live on the mainland and had not returned to Hawaii for 15 years, I had to rely on Russ to handle 100% of my house renovation and house sale in Hawaii. Russ handled $100K of upgrades to the entire house -- from new roof to new everything inside. He even offered his own personal muscle power to deal with an unexpected plumbing issue that was easy enough for him to handle, instead of paying the contractors additional money to modify the work order that I already paid for. Despite the challenging market, Russ successfully sold the house shortly after opening for almost 7 figures -- much more than I expected. Critical to the sale was all of the sales strategy development, planning, and execution needed to achieve a sales win in a challenging real estate market. Though I am extremely picky, Russ continually earned my trust with his constant updates, immediate solutions to arising issues, and sound judgment, that I deferred most of the decisions to Russ the deeper we got into the renovations. I would have posted this much much sooner after the sale, if it had not been for other personal issues I had to deal with first. Hopefully this depth of this review can get across what an incredible real estate professional that Russ is. And what a good man he is -- somebody that I would absolutely vouch for and recommend to friends and family to handle your real estate needs.
