"Working with Jason Lum was an absolute pleasure! He came highly recommended by friends and proved to be a phenomenal help to us throughout our home search.  Jason’s endless patience, professionalism and exceptional understanding of the Hawaiian real estate market was the key to our success. When it came to negotiations, Jason’s expertise was crucial in closing the deal! Quite simply, Jason Lum exceeded all of our expectations and we would have never found and purchased our dream home with his help! "

“ Jason Lum [of Realty Isle] represented me on the selling of my Investment property.  Three things really stood out and really showed his experience. First, his market knowledge identified what would and would not be a good investment regarding preparing the property for sale.  He made a distinction between fix ups that would be worthwhile to create value, and those which would do nothing to help the appeal. Second, he knew how to stage the property to increase its appeal.  He turned normal rooms almost in to works of art.  Several times I asked him “Where did you get this stuff?”    Lastly, Jason was extremely thorough.  Our property had some issues to be addressed regarding permitting.  Jason helped put a plan of action together to resolve them, and constantly checked the latest status with everyone involved until one by one, the sale was finalized.   This was the most impressive attribute.  I would highly recommend Jason as someone who looks at every angle to help market and follow through with your property. “

"Jason came highly recommended but exceeded all expectations.  He assessed what needed to be done to market my property then went ahead and made all the arrangements by hiring and supervising the right people for the job.  Since I am 91 years old, I appreciated all the help and I did not have to check on the work.  I trusted him to take care of it and keep me informed.  I would give him an A+.  My property sold in one day - pretty outstanding!"

"It has been more than a pleasure to work with Jason.  He's extremely reliable, personable and always accessible.  Coupled with his patience and knowledge of the industry, he has made our very first home buying experience a stress-free and enjoyable experience.  We look forward to using Jason's services in the future, and will, without a doubt, recommend him to friends and family."

"From the moment we listed our family property, Jason went to work right away.  He diligently and creatively staged our vacant home, as well as arranged for repairs, landscaping, and cleaning.  No detail was left out, including the transformation of our mailbox.   His diligence and professionalism continued throughout the sales process, during the smooth escrow, and continued until closing.   When the time came for me to find a new home for myself and my beautiful bride, there was no question as to who I was going to call.  Within a short period of time, Jason was able to locate, negotiate, and secure our luxury home seamlessly...I have known Jason for more than ten years as a professional and as a good friend, and during that time he has been involved in several real estate transactions that have benefited me and my family.   He is good at what he does, and I would certainly utilize his services again and again."

"Jason...Thank you so much for all of [your] help during the months prior to putting the co-op on the market, [then finalized with] the marketing and sale of the [Punahou Terrace] unit.  Your knowledge of the market and expertise in handling the peculiarities of this unit were amazing.  Since I live in Colorado and know nothing about Hawaii law and real estate, I never could have done this without you.  Thank you again"

Once again, working with Jason Lum has been a pleasure. When he said that we were going to be [best] friends for the next few months after we initially decided to buy our Condo, he really wasn’t kidding. We were frequently on the phone or emailing going over fine points or minor problems.  His friendly, sound, and professional advice was very helpful when we had to work through any difficult questions...and he was always available to answer our questions no matter how small or insignificant. We would not hesitate to call on Jason for help with real estate matters or just to say hello anytime we’re in Honolulu.

"We can’t thank Jason [of Realty Isle] enough....He walked me through my first home-buying experience with such patience and thoughtfulness. He truly calmed all of my fears... In fact, my experience with him was so smooth that we did not hesitate to call on him again six years later (now as a family) when we wanted to sell our townhouse and concurrently upgrade to a single family home...From pricing research, to staging, and to escorting us through the final closing of our sale, Jason's professional touch is why we believe our townhouse sold within days (it was an amazing transformation to see how well our townhouse looked after Jason put his finishing touches on it). And when we found and purchased our new home, he always made us feel comfortable, gave professional advice, and made sure everything we did was within our comfort zone. As busy as he is, Jason was always checking in and keeping us posted...and that was important to us. For both transactions, he always made us feel like we were his only clients. He is a genuine person that is very professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. He is exceptional at what he does, and we would never think of using anyone else."

"Jason has worked with our family real estate holdings for several years.  In our most recent transaction, he was able to stage and market our luxury condo to an expeditious close.  While others within the building were still trying to locate buyers, we were already signing in escrow.  Jason is effective in his value analysis, meticulous and creative in his property preparation, and personable and sincere in his demeanor.  He is a real estate professional that really cares about his clients, and he is a very good and long time family friend."

"It was a pleasure to work with Jason Lum. He is very professional yet very relaxed and friendly. We felt that selling our house was his top priority and that this led to a prompt sale. He did a great job of staging our house and his presentation of our home on his web site was exceptional. We highly recommend him."

"Thank you [Jason] so much for everything that you have done to help in the purchase of our new home! We especially appreciated all your help throughout this process while we were off island. It was comfortable to know that we had someone on our side that we could trust from beginning to end. This is our third real estate transaction with you watching out for our best interests ... Thank you again!"

"What can I say? You have truly gone above and beyond any realtor I have ever dealt with. Not only did you do a superb job in staging, showing, and selling our house and property in record time, but you helped me and my brother through rough, rocky times. Thanks for keeping me on track and focused, keeping us always informed, and helping us with your professional advice and opinions. Thanks Jason for getting it sold quickly and selling it for far more than we expected...What a relief to me too, knowing that the house is now owned by people who really appreciate it's charm and history. Thanks Jason, for making this all happen."

"Jason is a highly detailed person and knows what needs to be done to sell a home.  I am a retiree with a home that I had lived in for more than 30 years.  Real estate sales had started to slow in the area, and my house needed to be spruced up before I could think about putting it on the market.  The process of selling a home seemed very daunting to me, and Jason was more than sensitive to all the changes that I was going through.  Months before we listed my property, he coordinated repairs, painting, landscaping, and cleaning - using professionals who were easy to work with and who I felt comfortable to have in my home.  And after two open houses, my home was sold!  Anyone who requires real estate services needs Jason Lum.  I trust him totally and appreciate his willingness to listen and give very appropriate feedback.  Again, thank you Jason!"

"I was not comfortable with my property manager, and I needed a real estate agent that could manage my home while my family and I were abroad for an extended period of time.  I met with Jason and quickly felt comfortable and confident in his experience, integrity, and his very personable nature.  I quickly noticed that he treated my property with the kind of foresight and care as I would expect from myself.  Then, upon a short visit back, Jason showed me a beautiful home that was a stones throw away from the ocean.  We made an offer, and it got it accepted!  Jason was then able to market my home, secure the buyer, coordinate the necessary inspections, and sell it prior to the close of our "new" home.  In the purchase of our new home, Jason secured a professional and thorough property inspector, coordinated a mortgage broker, researched the property and my tax consequences, met with contractors, and introduced himself to the neighbors.  Within a few short months, we successfully closed on both properties.  A daunting process to which Jason handled beautifully while my family and I were abroad.  I highly recommend Jason Lum of Realty Isle.  He is a true professional, a genuine personality, and a friend."

"Jason did a wonderful job in helping us to prepare and sell our home in the Islands.  With both of us located in different parts of the world, Jason personally assisted in staging our property beautifully.  He introduced household items to reinvent our bachelor pad; transforming it into the home any Mom would certainly be proud of visiting.  He also transformed our non-existent yard into a beautifully landscaped area perfect for entertaining.  Being far away, and with a very difficult purchase contract, Jason and his experience took control.  He managed our transaction with professionalism and firm finesse.  We would always recommend our friend Jason Lum of Realty Isle."

He also helped us in the sale of that very same property, which allowed us to purchase and move into the home of our dreams...From educating [us] about the process to staging, marketing, contract negotiating, and financing, Jason turned what we once thought would be a scary endeavor into a wonderful beginning to our new life as Hawaii homeowners!"

"[Jason] coordinated the remodel and sale of my property in Waikiki...and we closed it within seven days. He then helped negotiate, purchase, find a tenant and lease a new three bedroom luxury condo that is to be my residence when I retire...He did all of this while I sat in my office chair in San Jose, California...I highly recommend Jason Lum of Realty Isle."

"It was a real pleasure working with Jason on the sale of my property. His experience and guidance helped me to keep on schedule with the sale and we closed on the day that we had planned! Jason would follow up with me as needed but made the process so easy that it didn’t take up too much of my time. In the future, when I buy or sell another property I will definitely give Jason at Realty Isle a call. Thanks for everything!"
