WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

REVIEWS

  • Alan Misaki
    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.
  • Victor Eharis
    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.
  • Chris Nakamura
    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.
  • Gregg Nakamura
    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 perseverance.
  • Danielle Leong
    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.
  • Pete Stebbing
    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!
  • Jake and Kristina Lee
    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
  • Chris Phelps
    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!!!!
  • M&B Mueller-Ali
    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
