<p>Awards:</p> <p>Hawaii Business Magazine, Top Producer; Honolulu Magazine, Best in Real Estate 2015-2019; BHGRE Top 3% of Teams Nationwide; Aloha Aina Realtor Award Winner</p> <p>Brett's Comments:</p> <p>Aloha and thank you for viewing my profile! I am a full-time REALTOR&reg; dedicated to providing top quality service in buying/selling real estate on Oahu.&nbsp; <b><i>I set myself apart with a unique approach to real estate. As a former Manager in the Honolulu Advisory Services practice at Ernst &amp; Young, my long-term approach focuses on deep market analysis and managing risk through engagement with other professionals</i></b> (i.e. geotechnical engineers, electricians, attorneys, etc.). Further, my business background gives me the strategic negotiation skills necessary to set myself apart in the industry. I am proud of my production award with Better Homes &amp; Gardens Real Estate (Top 3% nationwide); however, I am proud of his client-service awards, including Honolulu Magazine Best in Real Estate for 2015 - 2018 and am a Aloha &lsquo;&#256;ina REALTOR&reg; Winner.&nbsp; Here is more about my approach to real estate:&nbsp; </p> <p><b><u>Business based on trust</u></b> &ndash; With my background as a Manager at Ernst &amp; Young (EY), I have a very different approach to real estate, which sets me apart from other agents. At EY, I was only successful based on my ability to deliver the highest quality service and develop long-lasting relationships based on trust and commitment.&nbsp; I appreciate the chance to work with you to develop a similar relationship.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p><b><u>A long term approach</u></b> &ndash; I take the time to understand my client's long term personal goals and work with them to align their real estate goals.&nbsp; I focus on educating my clients about the Oahu market, neighborhoods, etc. to allow them to make the best decision for themselves and their families.&nbsp; I'll tell it like it is, with only my client's best interest in mind.</p> <p><b><u>Strategic negotiations</u></b> &ndash; I set myself apart with my negotiation skills.&nbsp; I never negotiate from a weak position and work with my clients to develop the best negotiation strategy to fit their personal goals. I use data to support my position, such as comparable sale, number of offers, and days on market.&nbsp; Additionally, as a former consultant/auditor, I'm am often able to gather information from the other party to help my clients make the best decisions.</p> <p><b><u>A full service approach</u></b> &ndash; I am very detailed and am involved in every stage of the process. For example, I attend 100% of my client's home inspections and have a team of vendors (i.e. soils engineer, electrician, roofer, photographer, stager, etc.) ready to serve my clients.&nbsp; In every stage, I go above and beyond to serve my clients.&nbsp; </p> <p><b><u>Staging &amp; Videography</u></b>&nbsp;&ndash; I offer complimentary supplementary staging and videography for 100% of my listings.&nbsp; These services are becoming exponentially more important, especially as we integrate them with our marketing platform.<br/></p> <p><b><u>"Quality in everything we do"</u></b> &ndash; This is actually Ernst &amp; Young's phrase line; however, this philosophy is engrained in me. In real estate, the process is essentially the same, but as we discuss the various aspects of real estate, please ask me how my approach goes above and beyond.</p> <p>Please give me the opportunity to sit down with you and earn your trust!!!<br/></p>
