Justin Sedeno,
Where do I begin!!!! He is literally the most reliable and professional realtor I've met. I have met a handful of realtors and I just felt very pressured into purchasing a new home, but with Justin, he allowed me to take me time and he still continued to send me new listings of homes I was interested in. I was very specific with what I wanted and he got it done!! He also was very honest when we asked for his opinion on different homes. He was always on our time and was very patient with us. I recommend him to everyone I know because of how amazing he is at his job!!!! I can finally say I'm a homeowner, thanks Justin! :)

Transplant to Hawai‘i working hard and putting down roots in this beautiful state
Nathalie is everything you could hope for and more in a real estate agent! She is incredibly friendly, attentive, thoughtful, and customer-oriented. She listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home so that we didn't waste time looking at properties that wouldn't be a good fit. When we found the perfect home just a few weeks into our search, she was patient, practical, and goal-oriented as we went through the process of making an offer and negotiating with the seller. Her explanations were incredibly clear and easy to understand. She was supportive and helpful throughout the process, including bringing me chocolate when she could tell I was stressed out by it all! Now that I'm settling in to my new home, I want to express my deep gratitude to Nathalie and recoomend her enthusiastically to anyone considering buying or selling a property. Nathalie is truly a champion!

Sr Manager Business Sales
I've been in the market for a couple of years now, and even during that time whenever I had any questions about buying a house, Bobbin was always there to answer them for us. From the beginning of the buying process, Bobbin explained to us very clearly what to expect over the next 30 days. His knowledge of the market, the loan process, inspections needed, and negotiation made our buying experience amazing! Bobbin always had our best interest in mind, and went beyond our expectations. He really made us feel like part of his family. If you're ever in the market for a home, I would absolutely recommend Bobbin.

I would recommend Nathalie in a heartbeat to anyone looking to purchase a home in Hawaii! From the very start, Nathalie was genuine and forthcoming and I could feel how much she loved her job. As a first time home buyer, embarking on this process can be scary but Nathalie provided me with all of the information I needed to know, was always honest about all of my options and assisted me in the decision making process every step of the way. She was immediately responsive anytime I needed anything and she was a fighter where she needed to be, shielding me from many of the unpleasant parts of the home buying journey. She was as excited as I was when I finally purchased my new home and it is clear to see why she loves her job, she is a natural born helper! Not only did I walk away with an amazing new home but I also left with a wonderful new friend!

I really don’t even know where to start when it comes to describing how amazing Nathalie is. She is honestly a dream realtor.
My husband and I began looking for homes over a year ago and Nathalie was helpful from the very beginning. She never hesitated to answer our questions no matter how many times we asked. It’s clear that she loves what she does for a living and she goes out of her way to make sure her clients are happy. I can be easily intimated to ask the hard questions, but Nathalie creates such a comforting atmosphere that I was able to ask without fear of judgement.
After a year of looking, we found the perfect home, and she did everything she could to make the process as smooth as possible. Purchasing a home during a pandemic is crazy, but Nathalie definitely was the calm in the midst of the storm.
My husband and I are so grateful for her as we are now in our dream home. Thank you so much Nathalie!!

Bobbin Tabalno
Retired from Work, Not Life!
Mr. Bobbin Tabalno is the ultimate realtor whether you are selling or buying a home. In my case, he has done both! When I left Honolulu a few years ago, I thought I'd be moving to Washington State forever and Bobbin was there to help me prepare my condo in town for sale -- from the walk-through, his suggestions for minor improvements were spot on. The condo sold in a very short period of time! Now, almost 3 years later, I realized I really would be happier living back in Hawaii where I spent 30 years together with my now deceased husband. Of course, I reached out to Bobbin to help me find my forever home, and he did! The walk-through of the few places we narrowed down through virtual comms (on video chats with me) was successful immediately! He took care of connecting me with the right lender and escrow company ... and all the paperwork that is entailed in purchasing a home. His personal touch is what makes Bobbin a tremendous realtor.

Satisfied Client
It was my first time selling a property so I was a little apprehensive. Had my first meeting with Keahi, and all my worries were taken care of. He answered all of the questions I had, and also anticipated others that came up. During the process of putting the property on the market all the way to closing, the thing I appreciated the most was Keahi's communication. Every week he would update me on the status of the sale. Sometimes he would call just to say hi and make sure that I didn't have any problems and was comfortable with everything. Being that it was my first time doing anything with real estate, he took the time to explain the process and any of the jargon I didn't understand. If I'm ever in the position to buy or sell a property again, I would definitely go with Keahi. 110% recommend!!

I would like to take a second to share about my experience in working with Natalie Champion and NextHome KU Realty. Natalie completely lived up to her name by going to bat for me with every unexpected nuisance, then a potential deal-breaker, to buy my home. I chose to buy a condo that was coming out of foreclosure and thought it would be a simple deal, until we learned of the lien and pending lawsuit regarding the title. Natalie navigated every hurdle with ease and grace, even calling in the big dog, her broker, for advice - down to the last minute. She did so much behind the scenes work and kept me calmly apprised of the issues, decisions for me to make, and carried the deal to a successful closing, way below the market price. Natalie is a home buyer’s dream, a great realtor, and truly a Champion!

We first met Jodi when she worked with the agent helping us buy our first home in Hawaii 3 years ago. We had a very pleasant experience back then so when it was time to sell our property she was the first one we decided to contact. Let me just add that my husband was quite determined to sell our home without hiring a real estate agent so we had some boxes to check in order to decide if it was worth getting the extra help. We are so glad we ended up hiring Jodi! She made the whole process as smooth a possible despite the fact that selling our home turned out to have some ups and downs, which she navigated with lots of confidence, experience and calmness, always keeping our spirits up when we needed. Our home ended up as the highest sale price in our neighborhood and I can't even begin to imagine how we could have handled going through this rollercoaster ride without her! Jodi also makes you feel like you're her only and most important customers, even though she's probably juggling multiple clients at the same time.

Operations Manager - Hawaii Managed Care Organization
The 5 star rating underestimates the level of professionalism and ease that I found working with Natalie Champion as my agent during our recent purchase here in Hawaii. I am confident to recommend her to anyone b/c I know that she embodies a commitment to the highest level of service and ethics in her business. I called on her b/c of our common connection through Rotary International and our acquaintance through that international service organization. I sent her some fairly specific parameters for what we were looking for and she came up with a gem of a property we wrote an offer on within days. The property itself is in an excellent building with nice amenities and the financials for the transaction could not have been more favorable to me. This was a 1 bedroom lease hold unit so this was not a high 6 much less 7 figure sale. Nonetheless, Natalie was accessible, dedicated and always professional. The amount of the commission did not deter her in any way to providing the highest level of service. We are thrilled by this purchase, I am glad to be out of the rental market and if as likely is the case we move back to the mainland in 3-5 years, I have a terrific investment property for the next 10-20 years that stands to potentially generate an ROI 15+%. Thank you Natalie!

I am a first time home buyer and was approached by many other real estate agents. We went with Nathalie and recommend her for many reasons. Although she is in town, the fact that we were seeking a property on the windward side did not prevent her from making appointments, to which she was always on time. Ultimately, we closed on a property that had five other bids competing and were able to get it under the listed price. Many had doubts that we could find and close on a property as quickly as we did, but Nathalie was a big part in our success.

Nathalie went beyond the extra mile for my family and me when buying our home. Not only was she quick to respond to all phone calls, text messages, and emails, she also was available to meet in person to show us properties and discuss issues with third-parties.
In this seller's market, we had made offers on a number of homes. Nathalie was there every step of the way to write the offers and immediately give us feedback about our place in line.
The home she ultimately helped us purchase was by far our favorite. She was diligent in asking questions of third parties for us to get a well-rounded picture of the property. During the buying process, she kept us informed of all scheduled services and their results such as the termite inspection and treatment and the survey. Nathalie also accompanied us on visits to the title company with specific questions. She also kept thorough notes and was quick to email requested documents to us that we could not find in our huge pile of saved emails.
Even after we purchased the property and moved in, Nathalie helped us follow through on some questions regarding the property. You will be very happy to use her excellent services. We have bought and sold property in the past, and she has been by far the best agent we have worked with. She will definitely be the one we will call when we are ready to buy or sell again!!

As many people in my former condo association decided to leave simultaneously, (Board increased the already suborbital monthly maintenance rate}, we weren't able to sell for the price we had hoped. To complicate the situation, the home we had set our hearts on was priced at least $20,000 over our limited means. this is when Justin became invaluable. He was able to strategically negotiate the seller's asking price to bring it down to where we could acquire our dream home without selling the children off!
I don't want to close out without mentioning that Justin was very attentive to the communication between himself and us. Despite my instructions to my adult children, they each felt that they needed to take charge of the situation and called Justin with their questions and demands. And Justin, despite having to listen to each of us, never failed to to return our calls and keep us apprised of any progress (or lack thereof!)

Justin is a true professional. He made my first home buying experience extremely seamless. He took care of everything and was very knowledgeable. Everything from setting up visits to different listings, explaining all of my options, and even being able to get the seller's to sell to me out of a huge pool of offers. Justin really understands the process and will help you get your next home efficiently.

When we moved from the Mainland we rented a condo in Ala Moana area for 6 months and were looking to buy a house before our lease expired. Three months went by and there were hardly any houses on the market in out price range causing intense competition among buyers. We were frustrated and ready to give up.
Lynn is very professional and pleasant to work with. She is very patient and helpful. Her knowledge and experience helped us understand the Hawaii real estate market. Lynn works hard and performs well under pressure.
With her dedication and determination, Lynn successfully found a beautiful home for us in Hawaii Kai before our lease expired which made us very happy.
Thank you Lynn for your excellent service and we wish you continued success in the future.

She listens deeply, and her attention to detail means that things are done right, the first time!

I looked at ONE home, fell in love and within 30 days, closed on my very first home...all with Bobbin's help. He is very thoughrogh at explaining all the things home seekers and owners should look for as well as what others don't tell you. It was information overload for me, but he was always patient and explained so I could understand it all. I'm one happy, grateful and satisfied customer!!

Thank God for Lynn Hann! If you're reading this then you are in luck. I know how difficult it is to find a realtor in Hawaii that you can rely on; I mean really rely on. I'm 37, and it is only because of Lynn that I'm sitting here now, in my $1Million Dollar dream house, up in Ahuimanu Hills, Kaneohe typing up this recommendation. Lynn's strategic approach and analytical acumen literally saved me tens of thousands of dollars, and created profits for me across the sell of both my Mililani condo and townhouse, which I then, in turn, used, coupled with her services, to close on my new SFH. There are many realtors in Hawaii but not very many that actually spend the time to really listen to their clients. Lynn is absolute professional and has a unique talent for helping people. When challenges came up she quickly found solutions and provided solid recommendations; including viable courses of actions. I will always look back on my real estate experience with Lynn as a tremendous success and one that was rather enjoyable. Thanks again for everything Lynn!

We first met Bobbin Tabalno during a showing of a condominium apartment. He made suggestions over the long period of months and we viewed each option via their listing portal. He encouraged us to get our finances in order and we met with a banker to discuss our financial status and secured approvals. This allowed us to determine out upper limit for making offers with some guidance from Bobbin on several homes. The bidding process with more buyers than sellers is a difficult brick wall to surmount. We believe that Bobbin's guidance was important for our final and successful acquisition of our current home. Bobbin's guidance in navigating through the escrow process to closing was very supportive. There were no surprises and the process proceeded smoothly. Bobbin's advance for getting our finances in order and obtaining bank mortgage approvals shortened the process of loan underwriting and escrow very significantly to under 30 days. We were very appreciative of Bobbin's abilities as a communicator and level of professionalism at guiding the successful purchase of a home residence.

Honolulu Firefighter
I've been a resident of Honolulu for over 30 years and never dreamed I could own property in Hawaii. After meeting with Lynn Hann, she helped me to understand that with my steady income, I COULD own a place of my very own!! Needless to say, I was thrilled and terrified all at the same time! I've rented my whole life! I didn't even know where to begin! Lynn was very easy to talk to, and answered all of my questions, no matter how trivial they seemed. And she explained the buying process thoroughly so I knew what to expect. Once we figured out what I could afford, she found numerous places for us to look at. It was SO much fun searching for my new home! Lynn asked me exactly what I wanted in a home , including what I could and couldn't live without. In just a short time, she found me the PERFECT condo! It was in the area I wanted, with the amenities I wanted, the parking I needed, and best of all, I could afford it!!! When we first entered the property, I couldn't believe my eyes! It was absolutely PERFECT!! I could barely contain my excitement! She helped me through the entire escrow process, and we closed in May of 2016. Now I'm proud to have friends over to see my beautiful condo! And my neighbors are so amazing! We have all become one big happy family! I couldn't be happier! Thanks Lynn for being so patient with me and making my first home purchase a wonderful experience! I don't expect to move for a very long time, but if I do, I will definitely hire Lynn Hann again!

I have known Lynn for close to 8 years and I can say without a doubt that she is the most giving, sincere and caring person I know. I met her as a new concierge and she regularly took the time to educate me, show me how to work the software, learn the activities and most importantly how to interact with customers. I remember her helping me out one particular time when I could not handle someone who was difficult for me and handled the situation with such style and grace that they walked away happy. She has always had an incredible sense of teamwork and warmth despite the competitive nature of the work that we did. Lynn sincerely cares about people and will do whatever it takes to ensure that their needs are met and will go above and beyond to make sure that that happens. I saw these same attributes continue when we went on to work for another company together. Because of all of these reasons I did not hesitate to refer her to a top company I know of that handles corporate relocations in Hawaii or to another friend of mine considering buying a house. I knew that Lynn would not be pushy and would always have her best interests at heart. I wholeheartedly recommend her not only for your real estate needs but as a good friend.

I met Keahi several years ago when I was showing a trust property as a For Sale by Owner. Ever since that initial introduction he would periodically call to inquire if I had any other properties held in trust that he might be able to assist with in selling.
He has always impressed me with his tenacity. It took several years but I finally had the right situation that required his problem solving skills.

He has always impressed me with his tenacity. It took several years but I finally had the right situation that required his problem solving skills.

What a special privilege it was to work with Keahi.
My property needed extensive work before a sale. I live in New York City and had limited time. Not only was Keahi and Susie's comprehensive experience invaluable, but their readiness to help with issues was truly remarkable.
Professional, resourceful, completely reliable--Keahi is unrivaled.

I highly recommend Bobbin Tabalno for your real estate sale or if you are looking to buy a home. From the very start Bobbin was very professional and attentive. He kept us informed at all times on the process of selling the property. Bobbin went over and beyond as a real estate Agent. He recommended things that needed to be done before the sale and took matters into his own hands and worked with our family prior to the final sale of the home. What impressed me most about Bobbin was his integrity, and honesty. Mahalo Bobbin for your dedication and working with us. I appreciate your time and effort with this sale. Mahalo Nui Loa!

When you make a decision to sell your home, one of the most difficult and important decisions is the selection of a realtor. In our case, that decision was easy. Keahi Pelayo was our choice. Keahi had kept in contact with us over the past 8 years. He was always providing current market conditions and provided answers to many real estate questions we may have had. Our home was sold very quickly after listing and the process went smoothly. We highly recommend Keahi and his team.

I have know Bobbin for at least two years now, I met him at an open house and the moment I met him he won me over. He helped me purchase my first home and when it came time for me to sell i immediately picked him again. Bobbin is phenomenal and provides excellent service. If you have the chance I definitely would recommend you choosing him.

Keahi and his team were wonderful to work with. Being outside the area of Hawaii, I was able to use email for most interactions and the response time was superb. He never once failed to update me on the status of what was going on throughout the process, being my first home sale, he thoroughly provided answers to all my questions, even ones I hadn't thought of. He was knowledgeable and I would certainly work with him in the future on a home sale or home purchase. Easiest Transaction I've had in 18 years in the United States Navy.

We bought a house with Bobbin's help a few years ago, and we were very pleased with the results. So it was only natural that he help us sell when we needed to PCS again to another state, and we weren't disappointed. We know he had other clients, but we always felt like his only and best customer by the prompt responses to questions. We had very little to figure out and do as Bobbin guided us through every step of the process, keeping us posted at every milestone, and helping us to close escrow early. His ethical and professional behavior made us comfortable in knowing we made a good choice in real estate professionals.

My husband and I recently left Hawaii and Bobbin helped us sell our house. He expertly came in, gave great advice to help us get a good price, and coordinated with the buyer's agent and escrow company, so we had very little we needed to do. Bobbin jumped through hoops to produce good looking promotional items, hold open houses, and make sure the other realtors knew about our house. We had to leave the island early, and Bobbin made sure the house was well maintained in our absence. His service and attention to detail goes above and beyond. We are very thankful to have found Bobbin and his team to sell our house

Bobbin and his team were consummate professionals. Every time an issue came up, he was there with SOLUTIONS. I didn't hear him say "can't" once. Every request I made of him, it was done expeditiously and correctly the first time. He is friendly, hard-working, and patient; navigating me through the home-buying process with remarkable ease and professionalism. The two times I've worked with him, the process has been painless and rewarding. When I need a realtor, or anything homeowner related, he is my guy.

Bobbin was an amazing realtor to work with! He listened to what we did/didn't want in a home and then showed us places that fit the description. He gave us good advice on our offer and helped us through all the steps. He was always readily available when we had questions no matter how inconsequential. I would highly recommend to anyone that needs a realtor to work with Bobbin!!

Even better than we hoped! My biggest fear going to buying a home was buying something that we didn't really want and/or in an area that did not really like, just for the sake of buying something. Luckily for us, Bobbin really did listen to all of the things we said that we wanted, and only referred homes to us that fit within the criteria that was important to us. After a couple weeks of browsing the different homes available online, we ended up putting an offer in on the very first house that we physically went and looked at. I guess you could consider that luck, but I feel like it was more that we were not pushed into looking at houses until we found one that we all agreed was everything we were looking for. The entire process from offer to close was pretty much effortless for us, we were even able to take a little mini-vacation during the initial offer negotiations! Bobbin was always available right away to answer any questions we had and helped explain anything that we didn't completely understand. He even negotiated some seller credits for things that we would have never thought to ask for, so that was a nice little bonus! We would definitely recommend Bobbin to any of our friends or family who is in the market for real estate.

Bobbin made our first-time home buying experience the best anyone could ask for. He is very knowledgeable and considerate to your needs. When looking for properties he took into our consideration all our wants and needs so that on the very first day we found exactly what we were looking for and got an offer in the very next day. Throughout the buying process he would always keep us updated on what was going on and informed us on what would happen next. Even during the down times between loan applications and various signings he would always check in on us and help us with any concerns. All around he is a very nice, caring guy and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly promise that you won't regret having him as your agent. Mahalo Bobbin!

When my wife and I decided to sell our house we were contemplating whether to used a real estate agent or not. But when we did decided to use a realtor, Bobbin Tabalno was one of the agent who was highly recommended and they were right. He was outstanding! Prior to choosing him as our real estate agent, we conducted our own research to find who would be the best choice based on the time and effort, plus, investment made into selling the property, including promotion listings. Bobbin Tabalno of Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties Team stood out as one the best. They are ranked amongst the best in Hawaii! They are a team of professional, their site listings are easy to find, their social media presence are well know, and they put a lot pride on every house that are listed. When we spoke with Bobbin about our house and expectations. He spent countless hours answering our questions, providing informative data based how many homes sold in the area, the market values, and the lengths of homes listed typically stay on the market. Our concerned is that our house, are located in a heavily traffic congested area, far from downtown and in a neighborhood with hundreds more homes are being built, but Bobbin reassured us that if we follow his advice and took extra steps to improve the value of house that he can sell our house at a market price. Always a professional, he give us staging tips, hired a professional photographer for the photos, and so many more. When our house was finally listed my wife and I were so amazed how beautiful house looked. His advice and knowledge in real state business really paid off - our listing stood out above the competition. The moment our house was listed in the market we had many offered immediately giving us competitive prices which were above the market values. Our house was sold and closed in less than a month after it was put on the market, at way above the market price. When we accepted the buyer's offer, Bobbin, along with Tanya McBride of First American Title Inc., who was also very knowledgeable and helpful, walked us through every step of the closing process. They both made our first home selling experience pleasantly easy. If anyone is looking for the best real state agent? I highly recommend Bobbin Tabalno, Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties Team. They are truly a very knowledgeable professional team! You will not find a better Realtor.

Bobbin was an outstanding agent during my home buying process. He really took the time to explain the process and made sure I knew what was going on every step of the way. He's detail oriented like that. Always had time for me if I had questions and worked around my crazy schedule. Constant communication whether it be phone calls to texts or emails, he always stayed connected with me through the long process. Will definitely be referring family and friends!

I choose Mr Bobbin Tabalno after I had spoken with other agents. I choose him based on his understanding of my situation as a member of the Military, his experience in the market and his answers to all my questions were frank and honest. My property was listed in Hawaii and I was stationed in Augusta GA and unable to travel to get meet in person so I had to choose someone whom I could trust and was hard working and Bobbin did not disappoint. He communicated with me consistently and kept me informed of all the steps to be taken from getting the property listed to closing. Thanks to him, I was able to sell the property for much more than I had anticipated, get all my legal documents done online and close within a record time. I trust and respect Mr Tabalno and highly recommend him .
