Dr. Jon & Mrs. Jennifer Carlson - Honolulu, HI

“Her roll-up your sleeves and get to business attitude helped it all go smoothly”

We are so happy to nominate Yvonne for this award. She was and still is a fantastic realtor to work with. We met her through a showing, but easily felt confident quickly with both her market knowledge and expertise on Oahu. 

She listened to our wants and needs but offered tactful solutions and ideas we had not thought of. She was also very straight and frank with her feedback on homes, which was appreciated. It was clear she was not just trying to make a quick sale, but wanted us in the home which would best meet our needs. Her neighborhood knowledge all over East Oahu was thorough and she eventually found a great home for us in a neighborhood we had not thought of initially, but would work best for us in the end. The home she found for us was amazing and beautiful, including allowing for long term rental income.

Unfortunately, the transaction to get the home was full of some serious and unusual surprises which involved quite a lot of extra work and time for Yvonne. Her roll-up your sleeves and get to business attitude helped it all go smoothly, though the sale could have gone downhill very fast.  In the end, she helped us save hundreds of thousands of dollars on the home, due to these issues along the way, and we got a very good price for the area, well under the loan-appraised value for the home. 

During and after the sale, she has been a trusted friend and advisor. She has great contacts in the home remodeling space and is a resource for anything related to homes. Her knowledge of local laws on Bill 89 and rentals has been invaluable and she is always available for a call. She has even taken trips with us to home improvement store, to enable us to get discounts and has been available for appliance deliveries after the sale. All her referrals have been as on-point, trustworthy, and fantastic as Yvonne is. She surrounds herself with quality professionals, including introducing us to a great lender and contractors, and that is a enormous help to her clients. 

Again, if you are looking for the top realtor on the island, a trusted advisor, and neighborhood and real estate expert, Yvonne is who you should choose.
