Testimonials

Selling our life long home away from home while being out of state was an incredibly emotional and daunting prospect for us. Will Tanaka & Leonie Lam handled the details with empathy and expert knowledge, making a difficult process feel seamless and supported. We couldn’t have asked for more professional, compassionate, and communicative partners to help us. Their timeliness, marketing savvy, and contract knowledge created comfort and confidence beyond our expectations.

Leonie and Will were top notch! We loved their transparency and their willingness to answer all of our questions and concerns. We would recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.

Will and Leonie are a great team!  Our sale of a deceased family member's home was extremely difficult b/c the other family member was reluctant to sell despite being unable to pay the mortgage.  They made numerous visits to that person to build rapport - they were amazingly patient.  Will and Leonie helped the person understand the need to sell, then helped them arrange removal of their overwhelming amount of items. They also worked with the buyer on multiple issues - coordinating sorely needed repairs, and handling an episode of vanadalism 4d before closing in which water pipes were cut.  We were on a trip, and Will took time to visit the property and meet w/ the buyer to ensure the sale would go through.  Will's legal background and insight gave us great confidence in our decisions.  Will and Leonie really do go above and beyond. We are so grateful for their help and strongly believe if not for their assistance, the sale would not have happened! We highly recommend Will and Leonie!

True professionals use their experience and discernment to make complex situations solvable.

A 53-year old house held in trust, about to realize its economic life, and a seller 2 time zones away was not an easy sale.

Leonie and Will didn’t bat an eye or flinch at the challenge.

Their professionalism, vast expertise, sage advice, and informative communications lead to a lightning fast prep, listing, sale, and close.

There is no other choice to make in Hawaii than to let Leonie and Will at KOI Hawaii Realty help you sell your home or buy your next one!

Forever thankful of and blessed by Leonie and Will.

Best,

Dan Gomez

Will Tanaka and Leonie Lam are the best real estate agents I have had the pleasure of working with. My sister and I were in uncharted territory with the sale of my aunt's apartment. We both live on the Mainland and knew little about the real estate market in Honolulu. Will and Leonie guided us well. They were sensitive to the emotions accompanying the sale of our beloved aunt's apartment, but they were also able to present a realistic picture of the current market. They listened and respected our wishes but made helpful suggestions when warranted. They were patient and kind. Will brought the advantage of his law background, and Leonie transformed the apartment with her staging skills. They are a rare dream team!

I was very cautious in picking an agent as I interviewed a total of 6 agents before deciding to use Will and Leonie. We where extremely impressed with Will and Leonie's knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, alacrity and personalism. I felt as if I was their only client! I would STRONGLY recommend them if you want an amazing experience. Will's knowledge in law made me feel reassured as he explained everything to me in detail so that I could understand the process. Leonie's understanding of the market boosted my final sale price as well as her talent in design made everything look AMAZING! I am excited to move forward with my next adventure with them in selling another property. I am hoping for a long relationship with them even outside of their work!

Working with Will and Leonie was a pleasure, and I wholeheartedly recommend them. Their expertise and professionalism made selling my condo a stress-free experience. I'm impressed by their extensive knowledge and seamless approach.

I cannot imagine a more friendly, more helpful, more knowledgable, more trustworthy pair of realtors than Will Tanaka and his partner Leonie Lam. They were always ready to answer any questions my wife had, and to answer them with the greatest clarity. Furthermore, they were very proactive in seeing that the property was in the best possible condition to get a very good price on it. And, on top of that, it seemed to me that they often patiently and energetically went beyond the call of duty to deal with some problems that arose with the state of the property after the last tenants had left.

Personally I am not accomplished in the area of property sales, or financial matters in general. But I always felt in completely safe hands with Leonie and Will. Perhaps, as well as being realtors, they should consider being counselors too, because any anxieties I may have had always melted away when I was talking with them!

I challenge anyone to find better realtors than Will and Leonie!!

Will embodies integrity, professionalism, and genuine care. From our first conversation, he earned our trust through clear communication and transparency. His dedication prioritized our needs, fostering respect and value. Will’s comprehensive knowledge of the Oahu market, pricing, and negotiation was invaluable. His up-to-date understanding of market trends and local regulations maximized our property’s appeal and sale price. Will was proactive, communicative, and solution-focused. He led the process with precision, ensuring timely and correct task execution. His negotiation skills secured a successful sale at asking price. Will’s excellence, deep knowledge, and commitment were crucial to our success. We look forward to working with him again.
