We were hoping Royalty Realty had something available for what we were looking for (sadly they didn't at the time) since we've had the best experience over the past 4 years with them. Our amazing property manager Michelle Lum made living in one of their units such a joy. Any little issue that came up she was right there and always so helpful every step of the way. We appreciate everything they've done for us, especially her, and making our living experience so comfortable. We will definitely always check back in with Michelle for our future property needs. Thank you for the last 4 amazing years. Aloha!

Renter Beware: Avoid This Property Management Company…read more I rented through this agency for over 4 years, always paid on time, and left the apartment in better condition than when I moved in. Despite this, they withheld most my security deposit and tried to charge me for furniture that was never even provided in the unit. This wasn't an isolated incident of poor service -- I had requested replacement curtains after mine fell apart, and it took the agency over a year to follow through. Communication was consistently unresponsive and unprofessional throughout my tenancy. What makes this worse is that I now own a rental property myself. Having seen how this company treats tenants, I would never use them -- not as a renter, and not as an owner looking for a property management company. They seem far more interested in squeezing every dollar from deposits than treating good tenants fairly. If you're considering renting from this agency, think twice. And if you're a property owner considering hiring them to manage your property, look elsewhere.

Michelle assisted me with choosing the right list of properties to look at before even arriving to Oahu. In about a week of intense searching, we were able to find my ideal home. Michelle was very patient with me trying to make a perfect choice between 3 ideal ones ( after looking at about a dozen properties ). We made sure I found the best lender for my home, just in time for me to move in before my temporary lease ended. Throughout the process, Michelle and her team were in touch with me on almost a daily basis; I was surprised that she was able to address some of my concerns before I even voiced them. In very short time, I now own a new perfect home. Thank you Michelle and co. !! Sami

If I can sum up the sale of my childhood home experience in one word, it would be: GUIDED…read more Closing the chapter on my childhood home was a very emotional experience but having Khai and his team by my side made things easier than I thought it would be. From the very beginning, I could tell that Khai was looking out for my family's best interest. He took the time to listen to the story of the home, how many generations have been there, what our intentions and future family/generation goals are. We discussed a plan and Khai was alongside us every step of the way. Whenever I had concerns or needed help in certain areas (ex. needed a painter), Khai had solutions and provided several options. Whenever I felt confused or not sure where to turn, Khai would take the time to consult the pros, cons and things to consider with me. Khai and his team helped to navigate me with much respect. Never once did I feel pushed or rushed into making a decision. As I look back on the experience, I very much felt guided and supported. We trust Khai and his team so much that we included him in our family estate plan as the official family real estate agent. Thank you, Khai, Janelle, and everyone who has been by our side in this process. We look forward to working with you in the many years ahead!

Had a great upfront experience and conversation with Gill Mara about a few of the rental property…read morelistings posted by RedFin. Overall he was courteous and incredibly responsive via email and online inquiry. A few of the rental properties weren't available for immediate showing, which I understand, but Gill did a great job at scheduling me for the earliest dates and times. Unfortunately, things quickly turned when Gill began asking for a (maybe refundable) deposit prior to the official showing date. A rather large deposit amount may I add. I just didn't like feeling pressured into putting money into a rental property that I hadn't seen or experienced yet. Ended up withdrawing my interest due to the pressure.

I was referred to Caron by my realtor in Southern California. We communicated for a couple months…read moreprior to my visit to Honolulu in August. Once we arrived, Caron already knew what we were looking for and had several properties scheduled for us to tour. Unfortunately, we were unable to find the ideal property during our visit. Inventory was low and being that we live on the 9th island, the cost per square foot was no comparison to Vegas. I was very impressed with Caron's enthusiasm and knowledge of the local market. I know she keeps very busy, but during the time she spent with us, we felt like we were her only client! Without a doubt, when we find our home in Oahu, Caron will be our agent!

My Ala Moana unit had been thoroughly cleaned and in excellent condition before it was rented out…read more last September, I hired SC Realty Hedi Barrett as my property manager. At the beginning, her service was satisfactory, which led me to place a great deal of trust in her. However, when the condo was returned to me, it appeared clean only at a glance. Upon closer inspection of the stove, washer, dryer, shower walls, and toilet, I found that the unit did not meet the level of cleanliness expected from a professional service or what would be appropriate for a new tenant. On April 17, 2026, I and Hedi met at the unit. She had already entered before I arrived. After a brief walkthrough, we spent most time to discussed the April rent payment, which I had still not received from her company at that time. Although she spent considerable time explaining the delay, the overall experience with her service has been disappointing. As a result, I had to spend the entire weekend cleaning the unit myself. I documented some of the issues with photos and videos, including the dirty stove and sand and dust under the couch. Unfortunately, some images of other areas (such as the shower walls, washing machine, dryer, and toilet) were not saved. I will be contacting her company's broker to seek resolution. If the matter is not addressed appropriately, I will consider filing a complaint with the relevant licensing authority. I regret that this situation has caused significant frustration.
