Jami Kurtz recommends Justin Sedeno

Justin was so easy to work with, and I write this now as we are finally starting to enjoy the home we just moved into (we had a long vacay before officially making the move!) We worked with someone else first for a few months and weren't getting the result we wanted. A friend recommended Justin, and we immediately saw the change was good, and within a month and a half we closed on a home we really wanted. Highly recommend to anyone who is ready to start looking!

Nathalie was the best realtor I have ever worked with! She was in contact with us every day, always answered our calls and texts, and was such a powerful advocate for us. When we sell, we’re going to Nathalie!

Philbert saladino recommends Justin Sedeno

Five star indeed, highly recommended if you are first time buyer or second or so. Especially now the market is very competitive. Justin is the man. He was so helpful and updating you every time in the process. I was a first time buyer using VA loan. No pressure at all, you will feel like talking to a close friend. Thanks Justin, I am now a home owner. ????

Noah woo recommends Justin Sedeno

Looking for an realtor that communicates with you and responds quickly? How about a realtor who spends time researching the market in your area to maximize your sale? Then stop looking because you found a realtor who does all that and more. From the very first step to the last Justin was a constant professional and a true pleasure to work with. Detailed and organized he exceeded all expectations and more.

Gayle Griffith recommends Keahi Pelayo

Retired

When my friend, Joan, died suddenly in 2019 I found out that I was named as administrator of her estate which meant I would be responsible for selling her condo in Honolulu. (I was living in Philadelphia.) Joan had worked with Keahi before and I knew she would be happy to have me work with him. We started the process of selling in March 2019 which, unfortunately, coincided with the emergence of COVID. Between the State of Hawaii and the condo HOA there were lots of restrictions. It took a long time with barriers to cross, but Keahi and his team made my job so easy, taking care of everything. I couldn't be more satisfied and highly recommend Keahi.

Human Resources Specialist

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! :)

Maya recommends Nathalie Champion

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!

Erin McSherry recommends Nathalie Champion

LCSW

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!

DariAnne Smith recommends Nathalie Champion

Preschool Educator

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!!

Keebong Jhang Jr. recommends Keahi Pelayo

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!!

Shane Um recommends Justin Sedeno

Justin did an amazing job. This purchase was a few years in the making, and not once did Justin make me feel any pressure to purchase. He kept his eye open, and found a perfect home for me. He was always available for any questions I had. I always felt like I could trust that what Justin told me was always in my best intrest. He's the man

Although it was a long time going through the sale of my house and slot of up and downs, Justin was always helpful through out this period. He would offer to do more than he had to which made things slot easier for me.I would recommend Justin to be your realtor any time, he's a great person to work with.

Alana Miranda recommends Keahi Pelayo

I am grateful for a successful and timely 3-4 month process on the sale of our family home. Keahi kept me posted on all aspects of the sale, had knowledge with trusts, and has a team of professionals who were quite pleasant to work with on listing, lockbox and signage, viewings, open houses, offers, inspections and escrow. Land Court was something I was not familiar with, but all was handled in an orderly fashion, no guess work, all his expertise and experience provided us with a smooth transaction. I am happy to provide a professional recommendation for Keahi Pelayo and KU Realty. Sincere mahalo to you and your team, Keahi. It has been a wonderful experience to work with a caring, professional team in the sale of our family home of nearly 70 years, with many so many good memories. We wish the new owners many happy memories in their new home!

Property Owner

We were recommended to Keahi by a local Honolulu legal firm with which we had done some business related to the property. They said Keahi was the best of the best. They were right in all respects. Professional, knowledgeable, and with a level of patience and customer service that is unparalleled in my opinion. He is on top of everything, he always keeps you in the loop, never drops the ball, and JUST DOES HIS JOB, exactly as he says he'll do it. Can't say enough about how good he was for us.

I am very proud and satisfy on Justin Sedeno performance as a Realtor. Justin have kept us in the loop from day one when the house was up to be sold.

Heidi Hirsh recommends Nathalie Champion

Aloha,
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!

I don't know what else I could ask for. Justin did everything above and beyond for making sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

Julie Bowen recommends Nathalie Champion

I highly recommend Nathalie!! Nathalie helped us sell our home at the Windsor Condo building. She was extremely professional as she listened to our concerns and addressed each of them. Nathalie quickly found a photographer and listed our condo. She provided well informed advice on staging the condo. Nathalie hosted several open houses and seemed to generate just the right buzz. Within in the month we had an offer and the sale went very smoothly.

Most of all Nathalie provided energy, enthusiasm and passion to each and every potential buyer. And I am most grateful for Nathalie's support on a personal level as the sale of real estate is stressful and not for the faint of heart. I am forever grateful and highly recommend you work with Nathalie.

Kelly M McDonald recommends Nathalie Champion

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!

Nathalie did a wonderful job. She was thorough in her explanations and walking us through the process. When we had questions, she took time to answer and explain whatever we were wondering.

Alex S. recommends Nathalie Champion

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.

Entrepreneur

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!!

Justin Sedeno helped my Wife and I purchase our first piece of paradise. He made the experience pleasant and worked well around our schedule. Justin made sure we met all deadlines during escrow and delivered professional knowledge when we didn't understand something in the process or didn't fully grasp the documents we were signing. I highly recommend Justin's real estate services because he is someone you can trust. My Wife and I are both 25 years old establishing ourselves in a place were a lot of people believe is unaffordable and out of reach. We had a goal and Justing was a small part of our journey to close on our goal. Mahalo and Aloha Justin!

Michele Brooks recommends Justin Sedeno

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.

Mimi recommends Lynn Hann

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.

I highly recommend working with Nathalie Champion as your realtor. From walking through and helping us to price our condo, to making suggestions for renovations that were most cost-effective, to helping us decide between our multiple offers, Nathalie helped us navigate selling our condo with such professionalism and class! She clearly articulates and presents choices, suggestions and contracts. Her positive attitude and compassion radiate from her. Nathalie is a client-centered realtor who can be trusted to be responsive and attentive in all interactions.

When it came to showings, contract review & execution, keeping abreast of all time tables, and closing- her service was impeccable and didn't slack. I loved the small touches as well, water, snacks, friendship, car ride karaoke, a welcome home letter and champagne. Don't settle for this- work with a Champion! Thanks Nat- You Rocked it!!

Philip Robbins recommends Lynn Hann

U.S. Pacific Command GCCS-J Information System Security Manager

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!

Jennifer Roberts recommends Lynn Hann

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!

Aloha, Jen Roberts

Stephanie Amieva recommends Lynn Hann

Administrative assistant

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.

Manager, Kalo Terrace

Keahi’s expertise and insight into the market were invaluable in helping me select just the right Honolulu condo to complete my 1031 exchange. He and his assistant Susie were very responsive and professional in all aspects of securing and closing the deal. They kept me well informed regarding the negotiations with the seller and the details of closing escrow. Even after closing, Keahi continued to advise me. I really appreciated his enthusiasm and concern for my plans to rent out the property after the close. He provided me great advice about finding good tenants, and referred me to great vendors and resources to help me prepare the property for rental. Keahi is a consummate professional who I would highly recommend to anyone interested in buying or selling property in Hawaii.

I met Keahi 20 years ago when we both had the same coach. Right then I knew that Keahi was committed to learning and having an excellent life. Over the years when I have questions about business or life I reach out to Keahi and he always has an ear to listen, a heart to help and a great mind to see and solve problems from a great deal of different perspectives.

A great coach can ask you just the right questions and challenge you to step out of your comfort zone to become the best you can be.

Thanks, Keahi

As a first time buyer, Keahi took the time to walk through a few scenarios, highlighting the possible pros and cons of an investment property in Honolulu. After we chatted for about an hour, we determined it was not the right time for me to buy. I hope to work with him in the future if my circumstances change. I encourage you to call him for a quick chat. He knows the market and has YOUR best interests in mind.

Truly outstanding performance from KU Realty's principal broker Keahi Pelayo and RA/office manager Susie Morgan. Two top-notch pros who did an extraordinarily good job for us - starting from our first conversation, through property preparation, the marketing/sales process and all issues through closing. Keahi and Susie earn our very highest recommendation to on-islanders, DOD/military and off-island buyers and sellers like ourselves.

Keahi is a tenacious and conscientious agent. Keahi was able to find buyers for my condo within a week. He will always be direct with you and tell you the truth of what to expect in a deal and he will work tirelessly for you until everything is complete. He is an excellent mediator and negotiator. If these seem like the qualities you would want in your real estate agent, then Keahi is your man!

Keahi and his assistant, Susie, were professional and very effective in helping me establish a price for my condos and in dealing with the buyers. I do not live on the island and they took care of every detail and repair at a reasonable cost. They should be your realtor whether you are looking to buy or sell!!

A Sean Aguilar, CCIM recommends Keahi Pelayo

Private Banker for the Real Estate Investor

Aloha,
I recently completed a property re-positioning assignment for a Hawaii based investor involving 6 transactions, 5 asset classes, 4 Cities, 3 States, some with leverage and some without and all using the IRS Code 1031 Exchange.

To perfect the client's last property exchange, I purposely sought out Keahi Pelayo to source our final opportunity to execute the last leg of our strategy.

I will leave it at this, regardless of your level of sophistication allow yourself or someone you know to be represented by Keahi. He is everything one should want in a Realtor and the next time you want a favorable outcome pick up the phone and call him.

I did and my client is better off because I did.

Trustee

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 wasn't deterred by the poor condition of the property, he just rolled up his sleeves and organized a competent group of craftsman to make the property presentable and effected the sale which we closed on October 31, 2017. I think anyone represented by Keahi would be well served.

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.

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.

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.
