Tim Tengan

I can't say enough about Tim's professionalism, true caring nature, and extensive knowledge/connections. He brings all these qualities to the table for his clients in every phase of the real estate transaction. I met Tim at the Kahala Mall Kiosk that he was manning and I was amazed at the number of shoppers that greeted Tim as they went by and Tim knew them all by name. The next morning I received an email following up on the conversation I had with him. That was a good indication of his responsiveness and the level of commitment Tim has to service. We sold our property with Tim and purchased two other properties on a 1031 exchange. Throughout the home buying process, Tim was extremely responsive and thoughtful in his recommendations to us. Some of the best advice we got along the way was what houses we really shouldn't purchase, even though they had an initial appeal. We quickly started to see properties that we really liked. Tim knew enough about us to promise that we could do better if we looked a little longer. It would have been much easier for him to go along with some of those homes, but combining his knowledge of our situation with an extensive knowledge of the Oahu market gave him, and us, confidence we hadn't yet found the home perfect for us. We have worked with many service providers before, and Tim is the most service-oriented provider we have ever worked with. He has gone above and beyond every expectation we had. Tim was a huge help in getting the best financing for us. He connected us with a mortgage loan officer when we were having challenges with our loan and with his background in home loans ensured we received the best financing available. Tim also help connect us with a 1031 exchange Qualified Intermediary and assisted us with every stage of the exchange process helping us complete an insane process smoothly and efficiently. Furthermore, he scanned and faxed documents for us when our personal scanner and fax was not working. Tim doesn't forget you once the deal is done. I have called Tim for recommendations and assistance with my son as a first time home buyer. Tim has always come through with excellent, timely recommendations. All the people I have interacted with have such glowing things to say about him as well. To this day, he always makes me feel like helping us is his highest priority. His wife Lisa is also a true gem--supporting Tim and providing excellent, personalized service. I will continue to use Tim and Lisa for any future real estate transactions and will highly recommend their team to our family and friends. We couldn't have asked for more. Bruce & Jeanne Oliveira

Tim was awesome from start to finish. We will definitely be contacting him in the years to come when we are ready for our next purchase. Ed, Kapolei

Worked with Tim twice and both were great experiences. Have recommended him to a friend and he was very satisfied with Tim's help. He is genuinely there for the client. His experience as a former broker helps a lot when helping you buy. Edrick, Kaneohe

Tim and Lisa made the nerve-wracking process of purchasing a home an easy one. They both are very professional but are also very down to earth and bring a calm, warm, patient attitude to the experience. They provided great guidance throughout the transaction and went out of their way to make sure we were taken cared of! They were awesome to work with and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top notch real estate team! It is easy to see why they have many repeat clients! They are truly outstanding!

Tim Tengan & Roxane Shintaku were fantastic. Always kept me up to date and responded promptly to my questions, often after normal business hours. I can't say enough about them. They sold my property quickly and with a full price offer. Selling a property can be an intimidating and even scary process at times, but I never felt that way with them. They always had a plan and were there for me with recommendations and a voice of reason. The paperwork...oh the paperwork! Tim took time to go through every signature/initial block and made sure I understood what I was signing and put it into layman terms. Fantastic! Gary Phillips, Mililani, Hawaii

Tim Tengan was very helpful throughout the entire home purchasing process. He was very polite and approachable. He gave awesome advice and suggestions on every home we looked at and made deciding between different homes very easy. Andrew Brown, Ewa Beach
