From the open house viewing to opening escrow, the process took less than a week! He booked our inspections within a few days and made sure that everything ran on schedule. Derek was always on top of it and had amazing communication. He sent us updates regularly, offered his advice when we had questions, and helped keep our minds at ease. As first time homeowners, we needed everything explained to us in layman's terms and Derek delivered. We are so grateful to Derek and the Hirano Homes team for helping us purchase our first home!

I can't speak highly enough about working with Derek Hirano throughout the homebuying process. From…read morereaching out with our initial homebuying interest to having our offer accepted, Derek guided us every step of the way. As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were not familiar with all of the steps and processes we needed to consider, and Derek's ability to break things down for us made a world of a difference to ease our minds. The standout feature of working with Derek is how much he cares and communicates. We always felt supported and able to ask any questions that came up, and Derek's experience helped us make informed decisions every step of the way. As we went through the full process including working with our lenders, inspectors, and contractors, I was impressed with the relationships that Derek has built with each vendor. We walked away from each interaction being better informed and supported to take any next steps, and this is all due to Derek's strong relationships with reliable and trustworthy connections. If Derek has a certain vendor in mind, you can rest assured knowing they are a reputable and recommended. Derek and his team were amazing to work with. They advocated for us and were available for questions while proactively reaching out with updates keeping us well-informed from beginning to end. Throughout the whole time of what would normally be an extremely stressful process, my wife and I knew we were being taken care of and that Derek had our best interests in mind. I cannot recommend working with Derek and the Hirano Homes team highly enough! We will refer future friends and family to Derek and his team for any homebuying/selling needs.

We had such a wonderful experience with Forrest! We first met Forrest incidentally at an open house…read moremany months prior to our purchase, but were pleasantly surprised when he reached out to us about a property that he felt we would love--which he was absolutely right about! Buying a property is a big, daunting task, but Forrest made sure that the entire process was smooth, seamless, and as stress-free as possible. He was incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, efficient, thoughtful, responsive, and on top of things throughout the entire process, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience knowing that he was our agent.

We literally moved out on a Monday, cleaned the place on Tuesday, and Forrest did 5 highly qualified showings over the next 2 days, resulting in a nearly full price offer without us having to do any work. When the closing got bogged down due to various delays, he advised us on our options, aggressively nudging the buyer, and in the end, we were able to get the deal done. We never had to reach out for updates, he was always proactive and quick to respond. He really understands the market and never loses his cool. I highly recommend Forrest whether you are buying or selling.

My partner and I were first time homebuyers and didn't know anything about the process. I met with Alyssa and she walked me through the basics in a way that I could easily understand. She got us set up with the Compass app so we could search for homes through the app and let her know ones we were interested in. For every home, she followed up with the seller's realtor to get the status of the home. She went with us to open houses or set up private showings. It's such a big purchase, and having someone knowledgeable about what to look out for was super helpful. She let us know pros and cons for the homes we looked at and it really helped us make a decision. Once we found a house we loved, she put in the offer and took charge from there, which I appreciated. She explained the steps in escrow and kept us updated along the way. We had to counter offer and her advice on was probably what got our offer accepted! Alyssa helped set up the home inspections, plus contractor inspections to get quotes for repairs. I didn't have any experience with this, so being able to rely on her and her trusted contacts was invaluable. The closing process was very smooth and we ended up with a great house. The whole Ito Orio group were great throughout the entire journey - always sending updates, getting signatures, communicating with all the parties, everything was seamless. They all made the process super easy and I'm especially thankful to have had Alyssa's guidance during the process.

When I say fiduciary, I mean he puts his clients first every single time--no hidden motives, no shortcuts, just loyalty and transparency.

He's relentless, professional, and outworks everyone around him. If you want someone who won't settle and won't back down, Jack is that guy. He is also super fun to work with.

We were first time home buyers and didn't know the first thing about what we were getting into. My only knowledge of real estate comes from watching too many silly reality tv shows, and her capabilities far exceed any of those people. Sorry, not sorry. I could not be more grateful for being paired up with a real estate agent as amazing as Gia. She is extremely knowledgeable & walked us through every step so that we were comfortable with everything. We had so many questions and she was always willing to help, whether it was doing research or immediately having a solution. She has a breadth of resources and it is clear that other vendors enjoy working with her. We would work with her again in an instant and definitely will be recommending her to everyone. We trusted throughout the entire process that she had our best interest in mind. Never did we imagine that we'd own a house in one of the most expensive places to live, and for that, we are eternally grateful for Gia. We're excited for the potential that our property has and will 100% partner with her again in the future.
