We are proud that nearly all of our business comes from referrals.

We would recommend him without reservation

Keahi represented us with a purchase on an accelerated schedule, set to close on December 31, in the busiest time of the year. His advice was always helpful. His attention to detail, knowledge of the market, and his familiarity with other brokers in the community, the lender and escrow, made a complicated project run smoothly and efficiently to a successful conclusion. We would recommend him without reservation.

I would have missed out on a dream home

Lehua did a fantastic job helping me navigate the purchase of my home. From showing to bidding to complex contract negotiations to closing, she had my back. If she and her network of recommended professionals hadn't been so quick and adaptable, I would have missed out on a dream home. Strongly recommend her services.

Why would anyone on Oahu use a realtor other than Keahi?

In my most humble opinion why would anyone on Oahu use a realtor other than Keahi? I've had the distinct honor of working with him for almost a year dealing with 3 properties being sold in the family trust. Keahi's gone above and beyond with succinct explanations, more hand holding than I care to admit and always with a smile. If you want to make your day/week/month, randomly call to hear his life affirming phone message. Keahi and Susie are the team to use if you want a seamless experience.

A true professional who really cares

I can not express enough in words how amazing Lehua was in the purchase of our new property In fact I would say that without her we would not have had the capacity to purchase the property as we are not from the USA and she went above and beyond to help us navigate the process and nothing was a problem for her. A true professional who really cares and goes to the extra effort to make the purchase of your property a memorable and wonderful experience.
