Customer satisfaction - that's what it's all about
Some Hawaii realtors take lots of listings and barely have time to talk with their customers. Other agents sell Hawaii homes part-time. They're busy with their regular jobs and might not provide the service you deserve. Mike works full time in real estate and puts his customers in the driver's seat, getting the best values for buyers and sellers!

I can't believe it -- we own a condo on Oahu! Yay! It has been terrific working with you, Mike, you really know your business and have made it so easy and comfortable for us. If we ever know of anyone looking to buy on the island (and believe me, all our friends are getting curious now that we are there!), we will definitely steer them to you.

I have known Mike since October 2006 and off and on we looked at places and he was always kind hearted to me. I was in Iraq and Mike had the patience and smarts to deal with me to complete a home sale. I trusted Mike like a brother me not even seeing the place. In the end I bought a townhouse in Pearl City for $245,000 when com-parable units were selling for $300,000. I also didn't have anyone here and Mike being the friend that he was helped me move and answered all my questions and led me down the right path for something along the way. Now I have the place like I want it for now and am lucky I went with Mike.

I just wanted to thank you again for all you have done for me in getting my house in Kaneohe sold via a short sale. My wife said she wished we had known about you a year ago when we listed with another realtor. You would have sold our house for a better price.

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Mike, I think the main reason is because unlike many other realtors, Mike is not a real talker, he is a real listener. Where most realtors really try to 'sell' you a house, Mike really tried to find you the right house.
He was patient and explained everything we needed to know in layman's term and really helped us understand the process and pro's and con's of each home we saw. With Mike's help we now have our cute home in Palolo and will definitely seek out his help again shall we ever be in the housing market again, whether it is to sell our current home or to buy a second home.
We would definitely recommend Mike to be your realtor! Try him! You will love the experience as well. Thanks so much Mike!

Dear Mike,
Words can't express our deepest thanks for your exceptional effort in helping us realize the dream to acquire a retirement house at Ocean Pointe. You gave us so much confidence in your line of work and you go beyond your scope of responsibility. I've been telling people at work about you for those who are dreaming of getting a house in HI. Thank you for everything.
