"Joe is an exceptionally, hard-working real estate professional who was always ahead of the game and made our complicated transactions seem so easy. Ours was an intricate sale which involved four properties in a vacation rental business. Joe's in-depth understanding of all aspects of the 1031 Exchange process, combined with an exceptional command of the real estate business, were key to the success of our transactions. He was a skillful negotiator on our behalf arranging our sale prices above our expectations. Much to our benefit, he orchestrated simultaneous closings for all four properties which not only provided us with maximum flexibility for our reinvestment strategy, but also saved us money on the 1031 Exchange fees. Every question we had about this complicated process was quickly addressed by Joe and his ability to keep the sale process moving ahead was phenomenal. In the end, his detailed planning abilities resulted in a flawless execution of the sale and transfer process."

"Joe Pineda sold our condominium in 8 days at a much higher price than our asking price. I believe that his knowledge of the local market and his strategy made it possible to maximize the sale price of our condominium in such a short period of the time. Also, Joe communicated with us on a daily basis on the status such as staging the unit, picture-taking, open houses, feedback from other agents and potential buyers that made us feel constantly well informed and we never had to ask him for the status. Joe took care of the whole process to the very end in a very professional yet very friendly way."

"When I decided to put my condo up for sale, my goal was to get top dollar of course. In choosing Joe, the final sales price that I received far exceeded my top dollar! My condo was initially cluttered when Joe came by to inspect the property. Joe forced me to get organized and even helped move some of my junk away for me. Once that was done, Joe staged the property fabulously. The result was stunning! I almost didn't recognize my own condo and, in fact, was wondering why I was selling such a beautiful condo. Joe's marketing plan was amazing! The marketing materials and property website were great! He brought in a professional photographer to capture the features of my condo. The listing amount Joe recommended was substantially higher than I expected it would sell for so I was pleasantly surprised that Joe was able to negotiate an even higher price offer for me at the end. Unbelievable! If you want top dollar for your property, use Joe! He is by far the best Realtor I know!"

"Joe provided us with timely notifications of new listings, which was essential given the current market conditions, and made sure to show these properties to us asap. Joe was very thorough when showing properties and had all kinds of information related to the property and the neighborhood. When Joe showed us the listing that will eventually be our home, the seller already had an offer and was very reluctant to contemplate another offer. Joe knew this was the property for us so he was very persistent and the seller's realtor finally agreed to show it to us. Joe took the time to explain the whole offer and buying process with us. With his connections, we were able to get a pre-approval letter immediately. Once the seller accepted our offer, he was there every step of the way through closing. Joe also anticipated we would need a second parking stall and was able to secure a second stall for us. This was my very first property purchase and Joe made it an exceptional experience!"

  -L. Vermejo, Buyer, Client

"We loved Joe! He clearly understood every detail of a very complicated situation. We trusted him to be on top of everything and he was. Because he demonstrated that he was a good and honest person in every interaction with us, we trusted him even more! He kept us on target and optimistic throughout it all. He is, in a word, fantastic!"

  -N. Valcour, Seller, Client

"Joe assisted me with the sale of my apartment previously. Due to his diligence and professionalism, I had no problem choosing him to assist me with my new purchase. Joe was extremely patient while I sorted through different properties. Always available and timely when setting up appointments to see the properties. During escrow, we encountered several hurdles with the mortgage company but Joe was always on top of it, working with the mortgage company and I to insure that we took care of whatever was necessary. I truly believe that if it wasn't for him and the mortgage company he suggested, I would have lost the property I now own. Joe truly exemplifies the "Aloha spirit" while maintaining professionalism. In the face of challenges and hurdles, Joe will do his utmost to do what's best for his clients."

"I had to sell my mother's condo and when Joe became my agent, he exceeded my expectations every step of the way. Since I was in Houston, Joe took care of everything: helping the elderly tenants leave, cleaning, painting, new floors, repairs. The renovations and repairs he recommended took two weeks and only cost under $6,000 but increased the value of our unit by at least $35,000. Amazing! With his staging, I could not believe how wonderful the unit showed. My parents owned the unit since 1967 and it never looked that good. Joe certainly knows his business and always has a strategy. We received multiple competing offers immediately after he listed the unit and ended up with a sale price of almost $30,000 more than what the property actually appraised for. The sale closed without a hitch. Joe figuratively held my hand every step of the way. He explained the contracts and walked me through the escrow process until closing. All went very well. Thanks so much, Joe!"

  -J. Wagner, Seller, Client

"Upon acceptance of representation, Joe immediately did a great deal of research to understand and engage with the marketplace specific to our neighborhood - not just the properties, but the profile of the potential buyers & agents representing them as well. Joe maintained constant communication with us in order to manage our activities and our expectations - from pre-sale and prep through the sale & escrow periods - we knew he was representing our best interests. He planned a strategy that he communicated, orchestrated & upon which he remained focused on. Joe conducted an incredibly successful marketing strategy - while managing us, the process, the showing agents & potential buyers. He sold our house with a great deal of planning, strategy, negotiation & diplomacy with as little drama as possible. He was also a strong and avid advocate for open discussion, honest disclosures & realistic expectations from the very beginning. Joe sold our property for $110,000 over appraised value!"

  -D. & P. Smith, Sellers, Client

"I cannot thank Joe enough for making the sale of my condo such a positive experience! I have dealt with many realtors in the past, but Joe was really the first one to take a personal interest on my needs and wants, as well as understand them -- and that makes me forever grateful. I wish everyone realizes what a great person and Realtor Joe is. Joe always had the time to answer my questions and go out of his way to get back to me each time I had an inquiry or concern. My most heartfelt thanks for all your efforts and friendship, Joe!"

  -R. Sims, Seller, Client

"We're extremely pleased with the services Joe provided during the sale of our Waikiki condo. We live off-island and he handled many of the tasks that I thought we would have to perform ourselves. This included having the unit cleaned, coordinating repairs, staging, and finally helping us move our personal items at the end of the sale. His professionalism was evident throughout the process. His intimate knowledge of the building enabled us to price the unit for a quick sale while receiving significantly more than the list price. We're sure his expertise in staging the unit and attention to details contributed greatly to the increased selling price. Joe maintained constant communication with us and kept us informed throughout the sale. All of the legal documents and paperwork were clearly explained and allowed the process to move quickly. We have purchased and sold several properties in the past with other Realtors -- but Joe's level of service clearly exceeded our expectations."

  -I. & A. Kagimoto, Sellers, Client

"My granddaughter introduced me to Joe. His expertise in real estate is truly remarkable! I admire his personality. He answered all my questions when I wasn't sure about a contract or something. He was just great! Everything went so smoothly with the transaction and now I am enjoying my new place, thanks to Joe! I would gladly recommend him to everyone. Thank you again, Joe!"

  -C. Summers, Buyer, Client

"Another agent from a different company had our listing for three months without a single showing. Joe Pineda took over the listing, re-staged our house, implemented a marketing strategy which included a multi-lingual website and ended up selling it at the first Brokers Open house! Joe was also very helpful and thorough through the whole selling and escrow process. A real professional!"

  -J. & L. Mattice, Sellers, Client

"Joe made us millionaires! He's a real estate genius who skillfully orchestrated an entire spectrum of first-class services that immediately resulted in multiple offers and an over-asking price. Joe's strategy and comprehensive marketing plan included a spectacular property website, first-rate marketing materials, a catered sunset broker's open house and back-to-back open houses, as well as numerous private showings. To top it off, he, on his own, carefully designed and staged to perfection almost 5,000 square feet to ensure powerful "wow" factor for every visitor. Talk about commitment! Joe guided us from the very beginning -- counseling us on the right type of renovations that would give us the most returns, assisting us with contractors, expertly guiding us through offers to literally and figuratively "holding our hands" through the escrow process -- to the very happy end. We can't thank him enough and would gladly recommend him to everyone. Joe is our lifesaver and our hero!"

  -G. Hartung, Seller, Client

"It is hard to believe that we have been settled in our new apartment and enjoying a new life in Honolulu -- all this happiness because of Joe! Joe found us the perfect home and took great care to ensure a seamless transaction. His attention to detail is to be commended. Such a gem! Joe can definitely count on us for many many referrals!"

  -K. Shannon & P. Pinkerton, Buyers, Client

"Joe embodies everything you expect from your Realtor and much more. We initially picked Joe because we knew him and took to his personality. We knew that he was diligent and caring and figured that would at least be a good start. Not only did he get us started, he got us to the finish line faster than we could have ever imagined. Joe gave us his full attention! He conveyed information effectively and made us understand everything that was going on. He helped us throughout the negotiation process, staying in close contact and bringing everyone together to reconcile differences. His personality made it easy to get everyone on the same page and make our experience stress-free. He is always aware of others' reactions and understands why they react as they do. He worked with the seller, drafting our concerns and assisting us with a lender we needed to be able to close. Joe has all the qualities we wanted of our Realtor and excels in every aspect of the real estate profession."

  -R. Gebrezghi & A. Flower, Buyers, Client

"I consider Joe Pineda to be an exceptional Realtor. Aside from his prefessionalism, he is also very personable which definitely helps when dealing with buyers and agents. He took care of everything and kept me very well-informed in every phase of selling my unit. Because of his knowledge and experience, my unit sold very quickly. He took care of and coordinated with all vendors to repair and replace carpets, bath rub, lock sets, etc.. First impression is very important. The way Joe staged my unit showed he took pride in the property like it was his own. Needless to say, it was such a pleasure working with Joe!"

  -L. Ogawa, Seller, Client

"We recently moved from California to Honolulu and were referred to Joe by our friends. Being new to the area, we needed an experienced Realtor who could show us a variety of homes in different neighborhoods, and one that would take the time to understand our specific needs as buyers. Joe was terrific! He provided us with several excellent properties to consider. He found us a perfect house in Pacific Heights that we now call home. Joe provided exceptional professional service through every step of the process from going to open houses through escrow to closing. He knew every detail about our property and was always eager to answer our many questions. We could not be happier in our new home in Honolulu and feel fortunate to have had Joe as our Realtor!"

  -J. Cleary & K. Holleman, Buyers, Client

"Joe was conscientious, reliable, very knowledgeable, and personable. Great communication skills, excellent staging experience, professional appearance and demeanor. His wonderful work ethics and dedication extended well beyond the call of duty. What can I say? Joe was absolutely awesome! His negotiation skills were quite astute! No slipping, sliding, or manipulating got past Joe. He stood our ground and represented me very well. My interest was Joe's priority and I knew it! When it comes to real estate, please select Joe for your own good! You won't regret your decision!"

  -S. Cabral, Seller, Client

"Joe's professionalism, knowledge and experience is truly his strengths. On top of this his his attention to detail, as well as his ability to keep in constant communication with his clients. His "Aloha spirit" is genuinely felt from the heart. On my sale, I came up with my own asking price. With his knowldge and experience, he suggested that I change it for the better. I made a decision on a new price and his "can do" attitud made me feel comfortable with my decision. Needless to say, I had three offers above my asking price, thanks to his marketing. He assisted in choosing the best offer, not based on a price, but on the buyer's qualification. The sale when through without a hitch! These characteristics and commitment to his clients exemplify a superior Realtor."
