Hawai‘i Modern Realty

Shannon and Reine were extremely knowledgable and helpful in us finding our home. They communicated frequently with us and were quick to answer any questions. Shannon and Reine were very helpful through the negotiation process. They would often point out the pros and cons of each property which we highly valued. Both were highly professional and we highly recommend them.

We had a wonderful experience working with Michelle, who brings her 20+ years of experience in real estate sales to the process. From the onset, she takes the time to understand your situation, what your goals are, and where the challenges lie. She creates an organized timeline of how to proceed to you are never left guessing where you are in the process. During this time, she communicates with patience and attention. Although I know she had many clients, we always felt like we were the only ones. She has a gift of taking all the stress and anxiety out of the process, an answer to all the challenges, has forged strong relationships with stagers, contractors, and other realtors. Michelle is professional yet relatable. I appreciated the attention to detail and her responsiveness. I would recommend her to anyone interested in buying or selling a property in Oahu!

Lectie is a consummate professional! We worked with her on the purchase of a condotel at the Ritz Carlton Waikiki. This type of purchase has many nuances, and Lectie’s expertise shined! She worked expertly with all parties resulting in a truly great experience. Her communication and negotiating skills are outstanding! She anticipated our questions and provided excellent clarity and guidance. Her follow-thru was impeccable. Moreover, Lectie was a pure joy to work with. She helped make this dream come true for us!

Liz was an amazing real estate agent. She listened to all our wants and needs, addressed any concerns we had throughout the buying process, and made sure communication between us and the seller was handled promptly. She was knowledgeable and diligent at every stage—from researching homes and negotiating the contract to guiding us through closing. Liz was invaluable throughout the entire process. We always felt heard and comfortable, and she helped ease any anxiety we had along the way.

We met Lectie in March 2026 before our official move to Hawaii. My husband was traveling back and forth for work, and while we initially wanted to buy, the timing felt too overwhelming since we still had a home to sell in Arizona. Lectie never rushed us. Instead, she pivoted seamlessly and helped us secure a rental for my husband's early transition—a massive feat considering how difficult it is to find pet-friendly rentals here for our dog. Once the kids and I joined him in May after the school year ended, we were ready to look for a permanent home. We explored both existing houses and new builds in Ho'opili. We initially felt discouraged after learning that people camp out for new builds. However, in July, we got a call that a flagship lot had unexpectedly fallen through. Thanks to Lectie’s readiness, we acted fast and secured it! We closed in September, and Lectie kept us informed and reassured every single step of the way. We truly believe that without her expertise and support by our side, we wouldn't own the amazing lot we have today.

We had a fantastic experience selling our townhouse thanks to our agent! Their communication was top-notch from start to finish, and they truly made the entire process so much easier for us. Highly recommend!

Joey Foti recently assisted us with selling a property and purchasing two replacement properties. Joey has always gone above and beyond with helping us through every step of the process.

Joey Foti is amazing and we look forward to working with her again.

We had an excellent experience working with Joey Foti. She is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping us throughout our journey. We truly appreciate her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and hardworking Realtor.

Jo Ann went above and beyond in helping me buy my first home, and a few years later, list and sell my condo in Waikiki. She was always available for showings and was extremely thorough with walking me through logistics and paperwork. More than anything, she is very caring and compassionate, and that care permeates all aspects of her work!
