5-Star Reviews

We are so blessed by the feedback we receive from our satisfied clients!

Working with Ted has been fantastic from start to finish. He has gone above and beyond to be there for us in this property-buying process. He was consistently responsive, even when he was in Japan for a short trip, when of course the property we ended up buying came on the market simultaneously. Ted’s wisdom, experience, tact, genuineness, and helpfulness really stood out to my fiancé and I as he helped us buy our first property! We really felt like we were in good hands throughout. What’s more is that Ted was great with personalizing our experience. He helped us get what we wanted and needed in the buying process while checking in and making sure things felt authentic to us. We 100% recommend working with Ted!

Ok so honestly before working with Ted I thought that realtors did nothing except make a listing on Zillow and then collect that sweet commission, but let me tell you, TED DID THE WORK! Ours was a complex transaction with many moving pieces of the puzzle, and he had it all under control, organizing meetings and inspections and appointments, even from the other end of the world when he was traveling. We were never left in the dark; his communication was clear throughout. Above his work ethic and professionalism though, Ted is a good guy that acts with wisdom. I can definitely recommend him and will use him in the future.

Ted worked very hard to make sure we sold a property and then were able to buy a new property. He was always available to answer any questions we had and to help us with things we didn't understand. His experience was very helpful.

Ted explained everything in great detail before we signed the contract and kept us updated every step of the way. He was always available to answer our questions. He went above and beyond making sure our unit was in tiptop shape, making suggestions as what he thought should be changed or repaired. He guided us in pricing fairly and got us top dollar within days of placing it on the market. His staging was minimalist, elegant and effective.

Ted Kawabata is a terrific realtor. He took the time to show me multiple listings and point out the high and lows of each property. Once the property was identified he thoroughly made sure the market price was on point with appraisal and worked through some of the early points of contention. I would recommend Ted to all my friends and relatives without hesitation.

Ted is outstanding! From start to finish, the selling of our home was painless. Thanks to Ted's knowledge we got top dollar for our home. He secured 2 excellent back offers as well! He is a true professional and was looking out for us until the very end. Thanks a million Ted

Ted Kawabata has delivered to me three (3) properties now! I could not be more pleased with them. I now have an investment foothold in the Honolulu area and I could not be more pleased. Ted will deliver results and works hard for the buyer to get them the best results possible. In the years ahead I will use Ted. Ted is wise and knows how to navigate things. My last purchase was the best!

We highly recommend Ted Kawabata for his knowledge, competency and professionalism. Ted takes every action with his client’s desires front of mind. Ted is an excellent communicator and assured we were always informed. In helping us with a complex 1031 exchange, Ted was able to think creatively and pivot quickly to adapt to changing circumstances. Throughout the process, Ted was always thoughtful and assured we had detailed information so we could make informed decisions. We are grateful to have worked with Ted.

Ted was amazingly helpful, caring and aggressive in a good way when things needed to get done in this buying process. I felt so cared for and grateful to Ted for helping get my first home. I am so grateful for his professionalism and care. Thank you!

We are from California and have been searching for our dream vacation home in Oahu. Ted was instrumental in making this happen. He is knowledgeable, professional, patient, but above all, he is committed to his clients' best interest. Although we were up against multiple offers, Ted's quick thinking and creative strategy resulted in the Seller accepting our offer. After closing escrow, Ted continues to assist us and follow up on issues of concern. We wouldn't have a Hawaii zip code if it weren't for you Ted.

First time home buyer here! I am very pleased with the results. Ted Kawabata is an extremely helpful and hardworking realtor. If I am able to purchase anymore real estate in the future, I would definitely use the Ted again!

Kenta M, Kaimuki, Apr 2021

I highly recommend Ted Kawabata in your real estate ventures. I've bought a couple of properties, so I do not give a high recommendation quickly. I feel assured that he represented me accurately and honestly throughout the process and often went the extra mile to ensure our questions and concerns were answered.

Peter S, Makakilo, Oct 2022

Ted was so AWESOME to work with. He was super responsive to questions and took time to make sure we were educated about the buying process. Ted also was a great asset in our negotiations with the sellers and was able to help us put in a competitive offer that was accepted. We can’t wait to work with Ted again in the future when we are ready for another purchase!
