Success Stories
"Angelina's many years of experience have given her tremendous expertise and knowledge of the Oahu market. She is extremely efficient and remained in constant communication with me throughout the transaction. Angelina helped relieve so much stress tha… t I was feeling, especially since I don't live in Oahu, and only had so much time to get things done. She has a multitude of contacts and she promptly acquired and lined up workers to get the house market-ready. She has a natural intuitive gift for negotiating and bringing the best price to her clients. She is a true professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. It was such a smooth transaction! It was a pleasure working with her."
Mainland Client
and Stress-Free Seller
"Both my wife and myself are in active duty. We knew we would be transferred in a few months and we didn’t know if we should sell or rent our place. My neighbor said, I should talk to Angelina and she will help me decide which way to go. We met with A… ngelina and she was able to help us make the decision. She showed us the numbers, if we sell or if should rent our place. There was a changed with our date of transfer and our time was cut short. Angelina, helped us find the people to do what needed to be done to prepare our house to sell. We didn’t have enough time to do everything and Angelina took care of everything for us. Angelina also helped us with the process to get exemption from the State as non-resident. Everything went smoothly and Angelina made every process very easy and less stressful for us."
Valued Military Clients
and Market Informed Sellers
"Moving from Germany I needed a real estate agent that was knowledgeable about the market, who knew it like the back of their hand, was a well skilled negotiator, someone who could educate me about the process and most importantly someone who I could … TRUST! Being new to the city I knew nothing about the neighborhoods so Carl drove me around the city letting me know every detail I should know about each neighborhood (e.g. demographics, main commercial areas, and neighborhood market) so that I was able to find which one was the right fit for me. He was able to find me the perfect property even before it hit the market, as to avoid competition, and he also got me a great price there! Carl was really the best agent I could have wished for."

"Our Realtor, Angelina, always goes above and beyond our expectations. She always delivers the best service possible. There's not a time that she has disappointed us. Even when she's not feeling good, she always tries to accommodate every need and ans… wers every question that we may have, even if she is on vacation (if you even call it a vacation) because when we call, she always answers the phone. She is very knowledgeable with her job and always professional. I will use her again as our realtor if we are given the chance to sell or buy in Hawaii and will definitely refer her to my friends and family."

"Carl was referred to us from a friend. We listed a property with him, a property we were sure would result in a financial loss but through his negotiation skills we were able to avoid any such losses. We then used him to purchase our next property a… nd despite holding the property for a short amount of time due to work obligations, and Carl was able to garner a great profit for us in the sale. Even after we had moved, we kept in touch and even offered to pay for him to get licensed in other parts of the country so that we could utilize his skills."
COO of a National Apparel Company
with Locations all over the United States and Client wanting to be on Repeat
"As a Property Manager, Angelina maintained a balance between protecting my interest and investment while also being fair to the tenant. In the 11 years, and 4 tenants, she served as my property manager, the property was never unoccupied and I never … had to deal with a bad or responsible tenant. Angelina anticipated tenant moves well in advance, exercised due diligence in screening potential applicants, and ensured a seamless transition between tenants. Further, she protected my investment by holding tenants accountable for their conduct. While living in Texas, I decided to sell the property and Angelina worked overtime to prepare the property and getting sold 30 days later, at the [list] price. I own multiple homes and have never had a realtor so devoted to their clients like Angelina. She truly cares…is compassionate, ethical, and a superb representative of the profession."

"We met Carl at one of his listings, and we decided that we wanted to work with him as our buyer’s agent, as we had already listed our home with another international luxury brand real estate brokerage. Our property sat on the market as the listing a… gents rested on their brand name alone. After our listing agreement was done, we asked Carl to take over the listing and he developed a sales strategy and proactively got us top dollar, for an off-market listing, in a down season."

"We’ve known Angelina for years! She sold this property to us when she was working for the builder. We call her occasionally to get her feedback and advice… with Angelina’s knowledge of the market and real estate financing, she was able to analyze ou… r situation and the property was sold at the price we wanted, and with ease. Angelina looks out for the best interest of her clients and many can attest to that."
