I think I tried 1,000 calls and Shari is the one who answered. Shari isn't just 1 in 1,000 kind of person. Shari is a 1 in a MILLION kind of human. Shari is unyielding in sharing her plethora of knowledge about anything and everything on or about Oahu. There should be a library with her name on it as the knowledge and wisdom Shari has so kindly & generously shared with me has been priceless! Life changing I would say. Shari offered her time, her incredible positive energy and her support to a perfect stranger like we were childhood friends. I truly have never experienced this level of kindness and generosity in my entire life. Shari Hooks is truly an Ambassador of ALOHA! MAHALO NUI LOA SHARI!

BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT ON OAHU!!! BUYER OR SELLER!!!…read more ""Going the extra mile" is almost a cliche today, overused, and doing little to convey the real extraordinary effort by those professionals like Shari that truly deserve the mantle. From the moment we contacted Shari about the sale of our property, she was incredible, communicating, coordinating, and ultimately, completing the sale with better care than most people would give their ohana! Being in the military, my wife and I were stationed out of state. When we decided to sell our condo we reached out to Shari immediately, since she helped us purchase eight years ago. She immediately began coordination with the property manager, community manager, and tenant - all while keeping us continuously informed despite the six hour time difference. She worked with the existing tenant to expedite repairs and prepare the home for listing. Some of the repairs even required coordination with an adjacent neighbor, whom Shari personally contacted and worked to get us reimbursed. When our property management company was holding up parts of the process, Shari was our "man on the ground" that worked with them directly to keep things moving. When the property was listed, Shari kept us apprised of the interest and participation at the open houses. When the sale wasn't immediate and my wife and I started debating whether to lower the price, Shari recommended that we stay the course for a little longer, and sure enough, the next day we received a full price offer! During the contract process, Shari continued to keep us informed and guide us through the many steps and organizations involved. As a side note, the contracting process is almost as daunting as the sale itself. As a seller, especially a first time seller, you worry about what will come up in the inspection, if you missed anything in the forms, try to figure out which organization does what, and what is really important. Having a knowledgeable, accessible, and preemptive guide is incredibly helpful for easing the process and reducing the stress. Shari was that person for us every step of the way. The best way I can think to summarize what Shari meant to us as our real estate agent is that she is the highest standard of the profession. Her initiative, verve, communication, knowledge, and guidance are what every buyer or seller looks and hopes for in their agent. We were lucky enough to have her represent us twice! If you're looking for the best agent on Oahu, Shari Hooks is that person!

So when we first reached out to Corinda for help with this sale, we really didn't know what to expect. Was it going to be more of the same? Or would everything we heard about Corinda and her Team be true, and you all would do everything and more, to support and assist us with the process and ultimately a sale? Clearly it was the latter. We know it took a lot of work from all of you to make this happen and happen so quickly, but we're still in awe of just how easy you all made this on us. During the short 30 days or so we never had one concern about anything.

My husband and I feel so lucky to have found Judy to help us with our purchase of our second home…read morein Kailua. In January 2020, after watching the market long distance from our home in California for ages, we set up a Facetime meeting with Judy to finally formally kick off our house search. We knew instantly that she was a perfect fit: down to earth, calm, and extremely knowledgable without being a know-it-all. We were so excited to get started! Covid had other plans. Judy was often in contact and very generous with her time and expertise over the following months, even though the pandemic prevented us from visiting in person and making offers. She toured homes that were in our price range, kept us informed of the developing details of Hawaii's lockdown, and answered our questions day and night as the months dragged on. In September, Hawaii announced its Safe Travels program that allowed visitors to take a test at home and bypass the 14-day quarantine. Starting on 10/17, we'd be able to resume our search. Unfortunately, the perfect house for us was listed for sale on 9/28. Masochists that we were, we watched the Zillow video daily, even though we were unable to make an offer. Of course the house was snapped up by another buyer soon after the brokers' tour. Then on October 30th (the day before we were finally arriving to hunt for houses in person), the house miraculously fell out of escrow with the first buyers. We were thrilled but also nervous since this house was listed at the very top of our budget. This is where Judy's professional relationships and expertise really paid off. While our initial offer was neither the first nor the highest, we got the house. We credit her negotiating skills (not to mention her nerves of steel!) with getting the deal done. Once we were in contract she somehow kept the transaction on track even though escrow spanned the Thanksgiving holiday. We could easily been delayed by termite inspections, tenting, cleaning and repairs, but Judy had things well in hand. She was a calming presence throughout as well as a fantastic resource for local referrals and information. If we have one regret it's that we no longer have an excuse to talk to Judy multiple times a week! We can't recommend her highly enough for anyone buying or selling on Oahu.
