Keahi Pelayo is an excellent realtor!! He is very knowledgeable, professional, and easy to talk to. He has excellent negotiation skills, and he knows how to resolve issues!! He is really good about getting back to his clients on a regular basis. We would highly recommend Keahi!!
We recently closed on a 1031 exchange. Keahi Pelayo was our realtor for the buyer’s portion of the exchange. He started to send us multiple listings early in the exchange. We looked at many places, some of us using FaceTime. Keahi helped to resolve an issue on the sellers side. If not for him, we would still be looking for a place. We were able to close on Oahu a week after we sold our property on Maui!!
We would definitely recommend Keahi for any of your real estate needs!!

Keahi and his assistant, Susie, are top notch. It was difficult for our family to list our home that we grew up in and that our father had worked so hard to build, but Keahi made sure we were comfortable with each step of the process. His experience and understanding of the real estate market is incredible, along with his compassion and understanding of his clients. We highly recommend Keahi - hands down!

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
