Helping you build wealth and your legacy

What do Clients Say?

We do feel fortunate that Lori Makiya was chosen to help locate our eventual home purchase. Coming from out-of-state we used a referral from our local Californian agent and we couldn't be happier that we "found" Lori. 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.

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! Simply amazing. 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. (It was clear to me that the process wasn’t simply transactional for her.) 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 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!

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 successfully navigate though it.

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.
