We do feel fortunate that Lori Makiya was chosen to help locate our eventual home purchase. She certainly understood the local market and communicated well before we left California, and that prepared us early as to the market conditions, prices expected, and current availability. All-in-all, Lori was in constant touch during our search and during the offer and acceptance phase. Everything went smoothly and there's no doubt Lori assisted our purchase and close to the standards of Coldwell Banker. Without a doubt, we'd recommend your company and Lori to any friend or prospect who might be interested in purchasing in Hawaii.

Thank you so very much for your thorough, hard work and kindness throughout this process. I also know you oversaw/project-managed the updates and so thank you as well for that. Indeed, parting with my mom and dad’s place was tough, but I know it was for the best. You at the helm of this transaction definitely put my mind at ease.

Lori represented us on both the buyer and seller sides on a simultaneous sale. Her professionalism, tenacity, and attention to details made all the difference. I'm happy to say after careful planning and quick pivoting when needed, Lori helped to successfully navigate through it.

Lori successfully prepped, marketed and sold our mom's condo in record time, above asking price, with a two-week close, at the start of the holiday season. And that was after she had managed a major renovation of the unit for me! I believe what sets Lori apart as a realtor is that she treated the sale with the same care and attention to detail as if it were her own. She approached the entire endeavor as a skilled project manager, always proactive, always thinking ahead. I just can't imagine anyone else filling that role as well as Lori did.

Lori is an exceptional Real Estate Professional. We wouldn't have been able to purchase a home without her help. She was up to date on every new listing, drove the entire documentation/signature process, helped by arranging remodel contractor meetings and quotes from over 11 groups, provided design insight, and shared local community input and expertise. Even now, 9-10 months after we closed, she is still supporting my family by facilitating the purchase of a county easement behind our house to expand our property. Not only is she a wonderful person, she's an outstanding professional.

Lori is an "Agent" in the true sense of the word. She poured all of her available time into helping me understand what I really wanted, facilitating the search, executing an intelligent offer, and making the buying process as convenient and as pleasant as possible.

I feel selling our home was successful because we were lucky to have a good realtor. You were super thorough and we appreciated that. Our property sale went very smoothly because there was excellent communication. We are fortunate that you represented us and always felt like you had our back. Thank you for all the hard work. One of the best things that came out of this is now we can say "our friend, Lori"  

- Debbie & Newell H.

To summarize upfront: Lori is awesome! You will not go wrong putting your trust into her and her real estate services. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable about the local market, Lori is smart, responsive, and has integrity. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family.

Lori helped me find the perfect home in the Diamond Head area of Honolulu. Despite a super-competitive marketplace in Hawaii, Lori helped me close smoothly and even earlier than expected. I highly recommend working with Lori, as she knows the area, and she has great relationships with local lenders, agents, buyers, and sellers. I look forward to working with her again!

-Kelly J.

Lori was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went over and beyond our expectations, kept us well informed throughout the closing process and represented us as if it were her own home throughout the process. We really enjoyed working with Lori and would love to work with her again in the future.
