My husband and I began looking for a house for our family early this year and we needed a realtor we could trust. The first step was to sell our condo first so that we could make an offer on a house, and upon Tiare’s recommendations, we found a rental, moved out and completed renovations for our master bathroom to hopefully secure a better price. She staged and marketed our unit beautifully and we received an offer over asking, a mere two days after the open house! We believe this was because we followed her advice! We couldn’t have been happier with the offer. We also appreciate how quickly she was able to line everything up to put our condo on market, without wasting any time. Tiare knew what it took to secure the best possible price for our condo: timing, negotiating, staging, etc. She was responsive and a top-notch problem solver.

My husband and I began looking for a house for our family early this year and we needed a realtor we could trust.

She staged and marketed our unit beautifully and we received an offer over asking, a mere two days after the open house! We believe this was because we followed her advice! We couldn’t have been happier with the offer. We also appreciate how quickly she was able to line everything up to put our condo on market, without wasting any time. Tiare knew what it took to secure the best possible price for our condo: timing, negotiating, staging, etc. She was responsive and a top-notch problem solver. We were impressed with how she was able to foresee and point out different scenarios for us, and navigate us towards the best possible outcome. We looked at many properties all year long. She researched every house we liked. She answered every question that we had and if there was something she didn’t know, she made sure to find out and got back to us within a day or less. We liked that she wasn’t afraid to share her honest and tactful thoughts on each property. It was clear that she wasn’t just trying to find us a place, secure a deal and move on—she cared about working together with us to make sure we found the right house for our family. It’s an emotional decision to find a house, with lots of disappointments and ups and downs, but she was able to keep us on track. We soon found a house that we loved. It checked all of our boxes. The timing could not have been better—our offer was accepted the same week that our condo closed. Tiare was with us every step of the way during the escrow process. There were challenges along the way, and many moments where we nearly decided to walk away. We learned later on that many other agents and potential buyers were turned away or had given up because the seller would not budge on any negotiations, despite the house being a fixer upper. But Tiare established trust through open communication with the other agent, and was able to negotiate with them firmly and professionally. She went above and beyond in working with the seller’s agent, even when she was out of the country on a trip. Thanks to her efforts, she was able to convince the seller to lower the price and even got us a credit to go towards repairs. This is why it is SO important to have a knowledgeable realtor working with you on these transactions. We are now proud homeowners and we are so excited to move into our new home. Thank you, Tiare, for being the best realtor we could ask for!

Selling a property from the mainland has it challenges, but because of Tiare's willingness to go above and beyond, it was the smoothest transition ever. Tiare really cares about her clients and was willing to do whatever it took to make sure everything was done on time. She met with every potential [buyer] and didn't rely on the lockbox. Also, she met with all of the inspectors, workers, etc. She was a lifesaver. I will definitely work with her again and refer her to anyone that has real estate needs on Oahu! She is the best! Thank you!
Tiare KABAZAWA was an extraordinary realtor! I don't know how many clients she was dealing with, but I always felt like I was the only one. Let me highlight some of her outstanding abilities and qualifications below: 1. Empathy. This was the most important aspect of Tiare! She is so empathetic! She truly cares about her clients! She is extremely personable, understands the stress involved in selling a property, and always gives her best. She is very hard working and loves to see her clients happy and in the know. It shows in everything she does. Also, as technology and AI continue to evolve, this is where Tiare shines! No “bot” could ever replace her. 2. Communication. Tiare communicated daily or weekly to keep us up to date on open houses, private showings, staging etc. This was done via text, email or a phone call. 3. Availability. Given the three-hour time difference, she was alwa…
Tiare KABAZAWA was an extraordinary realtor! I don't know how many clients she was dealing with, but I always felt like I was the only one.

Tiare communicated daily or weekly to keep us up to date on open houses, private showings, staging etc. This was done via text, email or a phone call. 3. Availability. Given the three-hour time difference, she was always available at 6:00 a.m. Hawaiian time if I had any questions during important meetings or signing. 4. Explanations & Knowledge- Tiare explained and answered all of my questions given the many documents presented to us- all of the transactional materials. She is very knowledgeable about the Oahu market and the Waikiki market. She set our listing price just right. She also adjusted it when we all deemed it the right time and for the right price. 5. Above and Beyond- Tiare always went above and beyond for all aspects of this sale from beginning to end- again, empathy, communication, availability, explanations and knowledge. You can tell that she loves her job! It exudes from her. Also, I think Tiare could/should be a trainer, and teach other agents the importance of empathy. Selling or buying a property is life changing, and she completely understands this. In my opinion, Tiare deserves this award. Tiare is an outstanding realtor, and if I could announce her to the world, I would. What a beautiful experience it was to work with her! I will be telling my stories working with Tiare for years to come. I would give her a score of A++, and I will recommend her to anyone I know! She is one of a kind!
