There's more to service than just getting an offer on the property!

 94-1475 Pokeo St. - These First-Time Buyers were extremely wary about who to trust, but found their perfect home in Waipio Gentry after they were thoroughly explained the details of home ownership.  It's important to make the first and every home-buying experience a good one.

Eden at Haiku Woods A12 -  These buyers were very particular, one was an attorney, the other a publicist and director for marketing.  We found a project that met their needs, but none of the units available were reasonably priced.

An innovative technique, or back to the basics?  Albert does whatever it takes to get his clients what they want.

Kaualana Manor#206 -  These were past clients of Albert's who dropped by an open house  When they found out what a great bargain he had listed, they put an offer in right away!  One aspect of Albert's High impact marketing is putting the best qualified people together with the best valued properties.

Na Pali Haweo 2A Lot 63 - These people were looking for the best lot in the subdivision. Unfortunately,  there were no more view lots in their price range.  All it took was a few phone calls, and asking the right questions, and Albert got them into a prime lot that had fallen out of escrow the day before!

Nuuanu Park Place B415 - This attorney and psychologist came to me to purchase their first home. They could afford much more, but we determined that their quality of living was more important than having their dream home now.  With  a little planning, they now have a great apartment, plenty of money to put away for future investment, are able to upgrade when they are comfortable, and most importantly, have many more choices available to them.  Testimonial letter on file.

Villages at Waipio #J101- This engineer needed help to sell his Maui Vacant land, and exchange it for an investment property here.  Albert's networking put him in touch with one of the best Realtors in Maui, then helped him find a great Fee Simple, large garden area townhome in Waipio.  Immediate positive cash flow.

I have been involved in these sales and dozens more because of my commitment to education, market knowledge, and customer satisfaction...

… You deserve nothing short of this!
