Dan’s knowledge is beyond measure.

So helpful for his knowledge and expertise

Very informative

The Ihara Team has been extremely helpful for me with information and advice regarding my 1031 Exchange investments. Ryan Lowe has been especially involved with connecting me to additional professionals needed for my decision making. I will be working with him during my upcoming new Exchange. He has earned a 5+ with me. Judy

Dan is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to real estate topics. I am a part of his KW Real Estate Planner community and has tremendously benefited from his courses and webinars.

The best of the best! He provides solutions and brings a wealth of knowledge rarely seen in the real estate industry.

I had the privilege of working with JJ and Randy of the Ihara Team. They’re extremely professional, knowledgeable and effective communicators. If they didn’t know the answer to a question, they were able to get an answer for me in a timely manner. All their partners (Home inspector, mortgage broker, general contractor) were great to work with. Highly recommend working with the Ihara Team to find your new home

Dan is a great mentor and teacher.

Very knowledgable, personable, and excellent communicator. Focused on how to best serve clients and always prioritize their best interest. Well-respected by other real estate agents.

Great seminar, a lot of useful information !! Thank you, Dan!

The class was amazing, very informative!

Great class and instructor

11 years ago Dan and Julie sold our home in Manoa as we needed to downsize. They then found us our lovely little townhome in Hawaii Kai and soon thereafter helped us with an estate sale of Gale's mom and dad's home. Detail oriented, very communicative and super helpful with decluttering, staging, etc. First class people for what for most of us is the largest financial transaction we will ever encounter and made it seem simple. You cannot go wrong with The Ihara Team! Mahalo, Mike & Gale Young

Timely Communication and Follow-Up

They did an excellent job selling my parent's home. They also provided me with a handyman recommendation to do some repairs around my house. Thank you!

Dan and his team and absolutely incredible. As a fellow real estate professional his passion and love to help others is contagious. I appreciate your willingness to help and share your knowledge. Thank you Dan! You are the Man!!!

Dan and his team are the best if you are considering estate planning, selling, buying or need real estate connections!

Thank you Dan for an amazingly informative day. I appreciate you and your expertise.

Very enlightening and insightful. Well worth the time.

Came to a Real Estate Planner workshop and WOW. All the information, the transmission of "Problem Solver" and take the time to "Care" stood out!

I love all the details very helpful

Very good education. Thank you.

We have been working with Ryan Lowe and The Ihara team for a while now for the homes he's buying/selling. He's making our job as a cleaning firm very simple. He pays close attention to detail and considers his options carefully for his client to be happy and satisfied. It's always a pleasure working with you Sir and The Ihara Team.

Dan Ihara shared invaluable knowledge with our team today. He really cares about his clients and showed us how to ask the right questions to help them get what they want. Thank you!

It was a very transforming experience as a newly licensed realtor. I was able to really understand my role in the lives of my clients as well as what I needed to be learning to make the process of transacting easier. Dan is a highly motivating individual and from his talk, his expertise becomes apparent as well as the great person that he is. I would recommend this course to anyone! I will be looking forward to any more talks given by Dan, and sitting front row and center again!!

Dan and the Ihara Team help so many people help even more people. They are kind and understanding.

The Ihara team is the team you want, to get the questions you don't even know you have, answered.

I learned a lot!!!!!

Excellent presentation and communication. Meaningful, kind, and caring information. Quite respectful with such important information.

Tiffany Young is the Beyonce of real estate in Hawaii! She helped us land the most beautiful home in the most beautiful location. She also referred us to our new favorite mortgage broker Tommy Nguyen at Central Pacific Mortgage. Together they went above and beyond to close our deal, all this while we were still on the mainland. Thank you!

We had an outstanding experience working with Shane from the Ihara Team of Realtors. As first-time homebuyers, we were understandably anxious, but Shane's expertise and patience were invaluable over the past few months. He thoroughly explained every step in the process to us and ensured we were well-informed about the market in Hawaii. Shane's dedication and support made our home-buying journey smooth and enjoyable. We were able to solidify our dream home and couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Dan and Julie Ihara are more than just realtors who sell or buy a piece of property for you. They are always asking questions about what your dreams and desires are and how this property transaction will lead you closer to your dreams. We highly recommend them anyone in need of a realtor in Hawaii.

I’m very glad I went with the Ihara team, as they were of course professional but also very friendly. As a first time home buyer I had many fears and felt anxious, but the Ihara Team made me feel very comfortable with the process and was always there for me every step of the way! They were also able to get me through some unforeseen bumps in the road and helped me feel confident in buying my first home.

The Ihara Team is the best real estate group in Hawaii, and I highly recommend them. We began our house search last year, but it wasn't until this year that we decided to seriously pursue buying a home. Throughout the process, the Ihara Team was incredibly supportive. They never pressured us; instead, they worked at our pace and helped us find the right place. When we finally found the house we loved, they knew exactly what steps to take. The process, including negotiations with the seller, was challenging, but our realtors, Jarrett (JJ) and Ryan, handled everything smoothly. They're particularly attentive, always listening to our needs and providing valuable advice. Dan, the CEO of the company, also provided invaluable support when we faced tough decisions. We are so happy with our experience with the Ihara Team. It truly felt like a team effort to buy our first home, and it wouldn't have been possible without their guidance and support. They were there to guide us and assist every step of the way. If you're looking to buy or sell a home in Hawaii, I strongly recommend the Ihara Team and Jarret and Ryan. Thank you, team!

Amazing team, highly recommend this team to help purchase real estate. Took me around 5 months before I found an amazing place to live in. They are patient, helpful, and explains how everything works if you're new to purchasing a place. They are professional, they don't constantly bother you or push you into buying a place they are always in your favor. They take the time to schedule contractors, estimates, and even after purchasing a place they still go above and beyond to help out with contractors and furniture if needed. Please reach out to them, they are an amazing team. Thank you guys for everything!

Incredible real estate service. Very professional, courteous, efficient and effective. Tiffany Young was superb. Love doing business with this company. Extremely well organized.

Absolutely love the Ihara team. I am so glad I got to work with JJ as my agent. He is so knowledgable and really had patience with me as this was my first purchase. Excellent team to have on your side.

Hi this is Cheryl K., my name on Google is this^^ lol....I recently sold my home with the help of Tiffany Y. and of course the Ihara Team. I was very impressed with their professionalism and helpfulness. They have a lot of services if you need them, from cleaners to movers and even financial advisors if you needed one. Very impressed and am glad I went with them. I will recommend whoever needs a realtor to check out Ihara Team.

Dan, Julie and their entire team did a superb job in helping me sell my Woodrose unit and helping my son buy his first condo unit. They are very well organized, knowledgeable and efficient. We are the point in our lives where we have to seriously consider "aging in place", down sizing or moving to a retirement home so we are looking forward to attending one of their seminars that addresses this topic. And if we need to sell our home in order to accomplish that next phase in our lives, The Ihara Team would be hired to do the job, without hesitation. P.S., appreciate their keeping in touch over the years.

Good Service

The Ihara team’s marketing strategies are outstanding. They know to connect a buyer to a seller quickly. Best real estate company!

We started out with attending their different workshops on real estate investing, including the one on 1031 Exchanges. When the time came to exchange a duplex for a condominium, we engaged "The Ihara Team". They patiently worked with us to locate a condominium that fit our desired location and also within our budget. The 1031 Exchange was flawless. Working with Julie, Dan and their staff was such a pleasant experience, that we decided to have an after hour party for them at their office. We would recommend them to anyone who needs real estate help in buying, selling or exchanging properties or just to talk real estate in general. Aloha, Michael & Barbara Mueller-Ali

The Ihara Team is top notch! When we were moving to Hawaii, we came from Germany. Buying a home is hard enough; trying to buy a home from a different continent and 12 time zones apart only complicates the matter. The Ihara Team made the process easy! Phone calls, Zoom call, etc.; they were accessible whenever we needed to chat. Once we came on island, they would pick us up at our hotel and drive us to homes. They helped us through the buying process and within 10 days we had an offer down on a home and ultimately that home became the home we moved into. It’s beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I encourage everyone to work with Dan and his team. They are the best!!!!

I consider myself lucky to have found the Ihara team. Years before in another state I had a really bad experience buying a residence. This time was much much better. They made the process smooth for me and were very responsive. In fact, I continue to keep in touch with them as they have customer appreciation and education events- they are adding value even after the purchase of my residence!

The team was very helpful every step of the way. Glad to have them on my side

Such great support and communication throughout the entire process. Very Professional and would work with them again 10/10.

Dan, Kevin and the team are great! They took such good care of our family during a tough transition. Call Dan!

The Ihara team is top notch. They work as a team, their communication is clear and timely. They treated us as their own ohana and helped us through our very difficult situation with patience and expertise.

My wife and I are grateful to have the Ihara Team as our realtors. We met Dan Ihara 14 years ago from a referral when we were looking to buy our first home. From the initial meeting, Dan listened to our needs and wants. We found a great home in a great location. Being a first time home buyer they walk us through it all. He helped us in the offer, going through the contract and all deadlines. They also work with many professionals like loan officers, insurance carriers and even construction contractors. We thought this would be our forever home but our needs and wants changed. So we contacted the Ihara Team again. This time realtor JJ and Ryan represented us. We received the same professional service again. They were always in contact and made sure it was right for us. When we finally found a home that fits our needs we put our trust in them to handle the all the details. Hopefully this is our forever home if not we will definitely contact them again. Thank you to the Ihara Team. Jake and Kristina

Great team!! They helped with everything! Special shout out to JJ and Ryan, you guys are the best!!

Very best in the business!

I can honestly say, one of the best experiences of my life was using the Ihara Group. JJ and Ryan were absolutely amazing and completely attentive through the process. From our casual stop at an open house, all the way through closing of the property we dreamed about. They were very attentive to our wants and needs and definitely went above and beyond, there aren't enough words to describe the satisfaction we have working with them. when the Ihara Group takes you on as a client, they truly make you feel like you are Ohana..... We feel truly blessed to have found them to help us through the process of home ownership. Highly, Highly recommend them!!!!!!

We highly recommend the Dan Ihara team for their professionalism, expertise and attention to detail. Dan Ihara and Ted Kawabata guided us through a complex 1031 purchase and assured we were provided the information to make informed decisions. Their support and efforts were truly impressive.

The Ihara team provided the best service I could ask for when we bought and sold our home. Dan and his team did whatever it took to get what we wanted. In the end, we are so happy with our home. I recommend using the Ihara team to my family, friends and co-workers. Your home is probably the most important purchase you'll ever make, why risk not getting what you want by using someone with less experience and perseverence.

Very professional real estate experience purchasing a Condo!

Dan and his staff were very knowledgeable and helpful in the process.

It was a pleasure to work with Dan and Julie Ihara. I have used their services twice and they exceeded my expectations both times going above and beyond with amazing professionalism and knowledge of the real estate market. The first house they helped me sell had multiple offers over asking price and we got much more than we had hoped to get in a very short time. The second time, they helped us buy a tear-down to build our dream house. With they're skill in negotiating we ended up getting it at a great price and they helped get us an additional large credit by doing due diligence that most realtors wouldn't have thought of or put in the extra effort to do. Throughout the years I have also gotten to know them personally and they are wonderful and kind people that make a positive impact in the community.

JJ and Ryan provided much needed information, advice and occasional handholding to get us through the selling experience. Their expertise kept the process moving despite several hiccoughs thrown at them. Thru were always professional and easy to work with for first time sellers. We especially appreciated the time and effort they spent on our sale and their making us feel like importsnt clients even though our transaction was relatively small. We would definitely want to work with JJ and Ryan if we are in the real estate market again.

Purchasing a home, especially for a new homeowner, can be confusing, stressful and at times discouraging. I had no idea what was involved. The journey began with a seminar by the Ihara Team, which focused on education of the process rather than the sale. After a year, I decided to move forward with the purchase of our first home and introduced myself to the Ihara Team. Their commitment to my goal allowed me to commit to them and trust them. The process was well managed and no unpleasant surprises were encountered. Everything progressed in a timely and professional manner. They made the effort to assure that I was comfortable and informed every step of the way and made our dream a reality the morning they handed me our keys. Thank you. Very much appreciated.

Refused to list our apartment at our requested listing price.

I recently had the privilege of working with realtors JJ and Ryan from the Dan Ihara team, and I cannot express how grateful I am for their exceptional service and expertise. From the moment we started our journey, they went above and beyond to ensure that my condo-buying experience was their top priority. JJ and Ryan had great professionalism. They took the time to truly understand my needs and preferences, guiding me through each step of the process with unwavering patience and dedication. Their extensive knowledge of the real estate market was evident as they provided valuable insights and answered all my questions promptly. What truly set JJ and Ryan apart was their exceptional communication skills. They were always available, promptly returning my calls and emails, ensuring that I was well-informed throughout the entire process. Their transparency and honesty gave me confidence and peace of mind, knowing that I was in capable hands. Moreover, JJ and Ryan's commitment to finding the perfect condo for me was truly remarkable. They tirelessly searched for properties that aligned with my criteria and were quick to arrange viewings, accommodating my busy schedule. Their expertise in negotiations was evident as they skillfully navigated the intricate process, ultimately securing a deal that surpassed my expectations. Furthermore, JJ and Ryan's network of professionals, including title and home inspectors proved invaluable during the closing process. They provided trusted recommendations, ensuring that I had access to the best resources, resulting in a seamless and stress-free transaction. Lastly, their genuine and personable approach made the entire experience enjoyable. They created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, fostering a sense of trust and camaraderie. I truly felt that they had my best interests at heart, making the journey not only successful but also enjoyable. In conclusion, I cannot recommend JJ and Ryan highly enough. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to their clients are truly exceptional. If you're in search of realtors who will go the extra mile to make your dreams come true, look no further. JJ and Ryan are great realtors, and I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them.

I've been using the the Ihara Team ever since we moved back home to Hawaii over a decade ago. They really do have a team that looks out for us whether you're buying or selling. Thanks very much for the time Ryan puts into each client going above and beyond to explain and go through the process of buying a home. The team is very responsive to questions and listen to you as a family member who's making some very big financial decisions. I highly recommend using them if you want quality customer care from a team that represents your best needs. Thanks again!

We were recently blessed with the pleasure of working with Ted Kawabata in our first selling experience. From the beginning to the end, it was an absolute five stars services. Ted is very responsible and responsive in all phone calls, texts & emails with immense patience! He is an agent with integrity & great work ethics! We are very thankful for this positive experience!

The Ihara Team is great team to work with. Their professional, caring, enthusiastic staff helped me through the entire process of the sale of my parents home from the clearing out, cleaning, prepping for show through escrow. Through it all, they were supportive, patient and understanding of our needs and concerns and helped walk me through the entire process. Thank you Ihara Team, especially Ryan and JJ.

The Ihara team helped us get our first house. They were flexible, adaptable and knowledgeable throughout the process. It was great that we felt like there was a whole team helping us. It was a scary process as a first time homebuyer but we felt they had our back along the way... Step by step.

JJ and Ryan were super helpful in the process of becoming a homeowner and the negotiation! They exercised their expertise and were there when we needed them.

It was incredibly reassuring and a relief to be able to fully lean on Jarrett and Ryan during my first time home buying process. They truly had my back and were transparent every step of the way. I would highly recommend their real estate expertise to any of my loved ones knowing I can trust they’ll provide the best knowledge, support, guidance and negotiation deals. Before meeting with them, I had no idea buying property was in the realm of possibility. They break it down thoroughly and with so much patience. I’ll always be grateful to these guys for making it as simple as possible for me to invest in a safe home and secured future.

Dan, JJ and Ryan did a great job coaching me through my first single family home purchase. They were responsive, communicative, and patient. I highly recommend their team.

Ryan and JJ are awesome, they helped me through every step of the process and things were super smooth. I have no hesitation recommending Ryan, JJ and the Ihara team, thanks for everything!

As a first time homebuyer I was really overwhelmed with the idea of purchasing my own property. On top of that my grandparents were assisting me in buying my property with a 1031 exchange, which made the whole transaction much more complex. JJ my realtor and the entire Ihara team made the whole process straightforward and effortless. JJ was attentive, responsive, and transparent with all my questions and concerns. He was prompt at addressing any hiccups that occurred throughout the escrow process. I felt so at ease knowing that JJ and his team worked diligently to help me get my dream house. I would definitely recommend working with JJ and the Ihara team for all your real estate transactions. Wonderful people and even better service!

Exceptional service from start to finish! We are so glad we elected to use Kevin Fung and the Ihara Team to purchase our dream home. The shopping, escrow, and closing processes were all seamless due to Kevin and the team’s excellent attention to detail. We will be recommending the Ihara Team to all of our family and friends.

What a tremendous help The Ihara Team provided to us! The concept of helping us from A to Z is unique and so helpful to seniors like my husband and myself. We highly recommend their services and their skills in selling a property to purchasing another in a 1031 exchange.

The home buying process is daunting, especially for a first-timer. Now, try doing it sight-unseen from the east coast, with a six-hour time difference. That had the makings of something that could be intimidating and overwhelming. It wasn't. That's because I worked with JJ Kitaoka and Ryan Lowe. They got me into a home less than two months after I initially contacted them. They pulled off this amazing feat by working non-stop, through weekends and odd hours, while utilizing their extensive list of contacts. They have an intimate knowledge of the Honolulu market. Working with this inside knowledge is invaluable. They provided honest feedback I wouldn't have received had I worked with other agents. This helped me quickly narrow my options. Once we decided on a place, things kicked into high gear. JJ and Ryan communicate very well and respond almost instantly, even during off-hours. They are very goal-oriented and really work for YOU. They kept us on schedule without being pushy or demanding while clearly communicating what was needed and what to expect next. JJ and Ryan are also very well connected. Those connections with other agents and mortgage providers accelerated the process and kept us on track. The moving and home-buying process is very stressful, but working with JJ and Ryan alleviated much of that. They do their best to make it as easy as possible, and I know I couldn't have accomplished buying a home under these circumstances in this amount of time if I didn't work with them. I have already told friends and co-workers about them and urge everyone to reach out to JJ and Ryan.

Another smooth transaction with the Ihara Team with Kevin Fung leading the charge. This team is worth their weight in gold. From the day we decided to sell all the way through closing, we were always kept in the loop with expectations set and the classic philosophy of under promise and over deliver being followed. Could not be more grateful for such a great team and a smooth transaction. We have already engaged the Ihara team again for a hana hou performance.
