Lori is amazing. We have purchased and sold a home before (not in Hawaii) and so have some comparison of what value a real estate agent can provide. We liked our previous agents but Lori is in a class to herself. Her knowledge of the market was unmatched and devotion to her client unwavering. We have a great house and know we got a great deal because of Lori. Coldwell is lucky to have her and we were lucky she agreed to be our agent.
GARRETT & LINDA Z.
Lori was the utmost business professional throughout the entire process. We had a very specific requirement when it came to the purchase of our new home that she totally delivered on. From the very beginning, Lori stayed in contact, communicated and always gave us a what's next, giving us confidence that the process was always moving forward. When it came to submitting our offer, we relied on Lori's experience and professionalism as she was able to make our offer stand out among 8 other competing offers that were received. Throughout the process, we always felt that Lori had our best interest and truly cared. We would whole heartedly recommend Lori. We not only have an incredible agent but a new friend.

Lori made everything simple, from getting the property ready to list to closing the sale. I couldn’t have done this without her guidance and expertise, especially while working a full time job. In a high-interest-rate market, she helped me sell for the highest price per square foot in my building.
YEOSANG L.
Lori Makiya was our realtor. We met her at an open house and she was very informative and professional with her knowledge regarding the market and region so that we called her to be our realtor. We could not be happier with her especially her caring heart and professional knowledge for the whole process. We are a military family with frequent moves and we met many realtors but no one beats her. We were lucky to have her.

Lori assisted my dad with selling his home. She kept us updated us throughout the sale, and coordinated tasks that needed to be done to get the home ready for sale. Lori recommended we stage the home and although we weren't keen on it in the beginning, with her insistence, she convinced us to stage the home and it was a positive decision in making the home look beautiful and presentable. She also took care of unforeseen issues that came up during the sale of the home so everything went smoothly. House sold quickly with a lot of interest and we were completely satisfied with her work and efforts as our realtor.
TAMMY & RON C.
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.
NANCY B.
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 dads place was tough, but I know it was for the best. You at the helm of this transaction definitely put my mind at ease.
CLIFF M.
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.
ROBERT & SYLVIA H.
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.
DAVID B.
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.
MAX K.
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.
RAGHU S.
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.
KELLY J.
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!
SHAWN & EMILY M.
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.
DEBBIE & NEWELL H.
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"
KELLY J.
Lori is truly outstanding -- both as an excellent agent, as well as a trustworthy person who is dedicated to everything that she does. I just successfully closed my second home with Lori, and both experiences were seamless -- from start to finish! In the highly competitive market of Honolulu, Lori finds listings even before they go live, and this has helped me seal the deal, each time. Lori always goes above and beyond! Lori always listens to my needs, and she is very low pressure. Lori also has a great network for assisting with all other aspects of home ownership (from local contractors to maintenance people -- you name it). I look forward to many more years of working with Lori!
SUZE S.
Lori was great with the sale of our home. She was patient and knowledgeable as we had no clue about the process of selling a house. But she made it easy for us to make decisions and was happy with our quick outcome!!
ANDREA C.
Lori was amazing. I was too busy to put a lot of time into the condo sale. Lori is the only reason this condo sale didn't stall and actually went through. Her recommendations were spot on and her stager was great. She was constantly communicating with me and guiding me through the process. Would 10/10 recommend her to a friend.
