As a first time home buyer, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Renting is very different from buying a place and JoAnn instantly helped put me at ease. My primary concern was finding a place that would allow me to comfortably host family and friends visiting from overseas, while also trying to sticking to a specific budget with very little wiggle room. JoAnn understood and we spent several months looking for the right place. When we did find it, she counseled me and walked me through every single step of the way. She was honest, she was supportive, she kept me abreast of everything, she answered my questions, and she still took time to listen to me and check in. When the escrow closed, JoAnn sent me the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers to congratulate me.
I don’t think realtors get much better than her. You can’t go wrong working with her.
Shari did an awesome job representing me as the seller's agent for a Kailua Beachside home sale. She worked tirelessly 7 days a week to achieve a quick sale at the best possible price and always kept me up to date in a timely manner with any new developments, explaining all pertinent details, so that any decisions that I needed to make were with the knowledge that I could do so confidently. She was polite in our verbal and written communication and was very responsive in getting back to me when I texted or emailed her, always acknowledging receipt of information I sent or responding to questions that I asked. She is very knowledgeable about the local market sharing information when it related to our the sale of my home. I would not hesitate to contract with Shari again as my real estate agent for another real estate transaction.
Working with Steve Chung was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and always had my best interests in mind. He made the entire real estate process smooth and stress-free. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell.
I have so many positive things to say about Corinda Wong and her team that I hardly know where to begin!
When we decided to sell our home in Kailua, Oahu, we interviewed six agents recommended by family, friends, and neighbors. Although we’d had Corinda’s magnet calendar on our refrigerator for over 10 years, we wanted to be absolutely sure we chose the right agent. We were relocating across the country, had a tight timeline, and needed help coordinating the relocation of family members living in part of our home.
Corinda stood out for her professionalism, organization, punctuality, excellent communication, and, above all, her kind, positive energy and diplomatic approach to solving every challenge. Her outstanding team was always on top of things, too! Everyone we mentioned her name to already knew of her and agreed that Team Wong is the best, especially in Kailua and Windward Oahu.
Corinda coordinated everything, from staging and repairs to pest control, without hesitation or judgment. With over 35 years of experience and strong local connections, she made things happen—even when unexpected termite tenting threatened to derail our plans. She handled everything efficiently, kept our closing on schedule, and even tried to move it up! This was crucial because we’d found our dream home on the mainland, and timing was everything.
Her accessibility was another huge plus. She was always easy to reach, and when she wasn’t available, someone from her team responded promptly. We always received answers by email or text, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. That level of communication and support is truly exceptional!
I wholeheartedly recommend Corinda Wong and Team Wong to anyone selling a home on Oahu, especially in Kailua. You can interview six agents like we did, but I have a feeling you’ll see for yourself why Corinda is so special!
Scott helped my wife and I find a home in our dream neighborhood and squarely within our budget. His in-depth knowledge of the neighborhood was essential in helping us choose the right place for all our needs and priorities.
The whole process took less than two months. Scott was extremely responsive, communicative, warm, and supportive the whole time. We were able to turn to him with all our first-time homebuyer questions and he really guided us through each step so that we felt confident in our understanding of all the complexities.
We're so grateful to Scott and his coworker Tammy who made our home-buying journey as smooth and successful as possible!
As an Architect, I chose Team Wong Hawaii because of their professionalism, vast knowledge, meticulous attention to details, and continual willingness to assist. Team Wong Hawaii sold our 6-unit apartment building with efficiency, accuracy, and completeness. For us, the whole process was easy, pleasant and (most importantly) painless. It's definitely our "go-to Real Estate Co.".
Dealing with Corinda, Michelle, Tammy and staff was enjoyable and enriching. Most of all, they were thoughtful, courteous, friendly and respectful. A truly great "Team" to work and deal with.
So, if you're thinking of selling your home or commercial property, we highly recommend using Team Wong Hawaii as your Real Estate agent. .
We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Colleen Sullivan while purchasing our home on the Big Island!
Colleen is everything you could hope for in a realtor — professional, knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and genuinely caring. From the very beginning, she made us feel that we were in good hands.
What really sets Colleen apart is her willingness to go above and beyond. She helped us navigate inspections, address unexpected concerns, coordinate with professionals, and find reliable local resources. She was always willing to answer our many questions and made sure we felt informed and comfortable throughout the process.
Buying a home can be stressful, especially when there are so many details to consider, but Colleen's dedication, positive attitude, and personal attention made a tremendous difference. We truly appreciated how seriously she took our concerns and how much effort she put into helping our family.
We are incredibly grateful to have had Colleen by our side and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in Hawaii. She's not just an excellent realtor — she's a wonderful person to work with!
Thank you so much, Colleen, for everything! Mahalo!
I cannot say enough good things about Etsuko and Yoko, and I am so grateful to have been referred to Etsuko by a colleague.
As a first time home buyer, the paperwork at first was daunting, however, Etsuko took the time to sit down with me and walk through every single line of the contract and answer any questions I had (and I had a lot!). Etsuko and Yoko clearly demonstrated their high level of experience and knowledge, and were able to answer any questions my wife and I had throughout the whole process with great clarity. Etsuko's experience also shown through when she could clearly explain to me the pros and cons of the different areas in Oahu, and then even go into the nuances on a variety of different things unique to those different areas.
Another item that demonstrated Etsuko and Yoko's high level of professionalism and caring was that they made themselves always available to my wife and I via a group text, were never out of reach, were always very responsive to questions and concerns. We never had to wait very long at all to hear back throughout the whole process.
As I am currently in the continental U.S., I was unable to do walk throughs in person with my wife and Etsuko. Etsuko recorded every single one, even the various inspections as well, and uploaded them all to youtube for me so I could view them as well! Another example (of many) of Etsuko going above and beyond to accommodate our unique situation.
Etsuko also did a fantastic job negotiating and getting me an amazing deal on our new home. My wife and I are still in disbelief that we were able to negotiate to get our house at the price point we did.
Etsuko and Yoko handled the whole process so well, went above and beyond, and everything went smooth without any issues. If we ever sell or buy again, we absolutely will be working with Etsuko's team again, and we will definitely be referring her to our family and friends.
My wife and I cannot recommend Etsuko and Yoko enough. Easy 5/5 stars!
Maki is a great communicator, punctual, and very detail oriented. Whether you are selling or buying a home, she is great at working both sides of the transaction. Highly recommended!
As soon as there was an offered message from Lectie, it just moved so quickly from showing, inspection, escrow to closing. The process took less than a month. Thanks to Lectie for listening to my concerns and going through the processing. Her communication skills, knowledge and professionalism deserves the FIVE STARS.
Lectie is the Best Agent.
