"Brandon went over and beyond to assist us in buying our first home. As prospective first time homeowners, we were very apprehensive about going through the process. Brandon eased us into it during our first meeting, explaining the process and his role in it all. We fell in love with the first home that we saw, so Brandon assisted us in putting in an offer. Knowledgeable about the market and process, Brandon helped to make our offer stand out in the competitive market. He wrote a cover letter for us that wholeheartedly won the sellers over. The process from start to end was seamless as Brandon was extremely professional and explained the paperwork each step of the way, making us feel comfortable in purchasing our first home. His honesty and sincerity made this entire experience a positive one. Brandon works diligently as he communicates effectively and works flexibly to accommodate for busy schedules. We look forward to working with Brandon again in the future and would absolutely recommend him to family and friends." -Cassie Koja

"Brandon helped me sell my Waianae property and buy my condo in Honolulu. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, honest and had lots of Aloha. He is exceptional in his authenticity, rare in realtors. I have bought and sold many properties here and in the mainland. He is by far the BEST real estate agent I have come across. He follows through on everything he promises and most importantly he respected and supported my condition of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from 39 aerial combat support missions in Vietnam. Not one other agent even came close to his empathy and compassion. He never crossed the line of agent and client but was professional. This is one of the most important qualities in him that I rarely see in anyone dealing with the public. He is a rare individual blessed with more than skill for his position. I wish more people had this quality. He is a superb agent and more importantly a superb human being. I can't imagine going through the process of both selling my property and buying another one without the finesse and experience Brandon has. He's the best." -Louella Kohler

"We just recently closed on the selling of a property of my family's and I cannot stress enough that if it weren't for Brandon's hard work and dedication the process wouldn't have gone so smoothly. I am 100% happy with everything that Brandon has done for me and my family. He took time out of his busy schedule to even help with the moving out process. What realtor even does that? Brandon is not only the best at what he does, but he is the best person to consider a friend for life. Thanks brother Brandon....until our next transaction!" -Ryan Kam

"JMy family and I are so grateful to have Brandon as our Realtor! Selling our first home, in a debatable changing market, he used his skills to analyze my neighborhood to ensure we would receive competitive offers. He even went above and beyond by STAGING our unit to enhance our home AND published our home in a commercial for more exposure! Partnering with Brandon to sell our first home, where we raised our two boys, was an emotional event, but we truly felt that he was sincere and supportive of our needs! Brandon is outstanding!" -The Tsutsumi Family
ā ā ā ā ā
"Brandon is great to work with, he is quick to respond and easy to talk to. You can tell from his advice that he has a vast amount of realtor experience. When we first talked about selling, I felt intimidated by the entire process. He was able to explain in detail what to expect and even his original time frame outline was near perfect. I will definitely recommend Brandon to anyone I know looking to buy or sell properties in Hawaii." -Jon Mizusawa

"I can't recommend Brandon enough! He was with us from day one of our home buying journey, and let me tell you, it was a long one. Brandon always took into consideration our preferences and never wasted our time showing us places he didn't think we would be interested in. He even put up with all of our constant texting and questions, even on his days off from work. We could really tell it wasn't just about making a sale, he really wanted to establish a friendship with us and for us to love the home we were buying. Thanks to his careful eye on the market we were able to score a great price on a condo we really loved. If you're looking to buy a home, this is your guy! Thanks again Brandon!" -Jordan Fangonilo & Manako Epling

"Brandon guided us through the relocation process from the mainland to Honolulu. His patience, guidance, and knowledge helped us to acquire a condo with the desired amenities and ideal location. Brandon referred us to local experts for financing, inspections, and insurance. Brandon guided, reminded, and ensured we completed necessary paperwork and submitted it timely and to the correct entity. Brandon assisted after the completion of the sale when tax payment questions arose and working with the seller's escrow representative. The first evening we arrived at our condo, we were pleasantly surprised with a Welcome Home sign, gift basket and a Hawaiian design cutting board. The gift basket was enjoyed the next morning before we had an opportunity to go grocery shopping. We highly recommend Brandon for purchasing real estate in Oahu." -Kenneth & Cindy Kakutani

"Our journey of owning our own home started 7 years ago, worked with a few different realtors and brokers who were great, but our journey took a turn once we met this cool, calm, collected guy with a smile that radiates, and his name is Brandon Sakata. With Brandon it all started at the beginning of this year, February to be exact. Brandon heard our story, experiences and concerns, he listened. Brandon showed us a few homes which ended up not being the one, but thatās ok, we kept on trying and Brandon was so patient and never once we felt rushed. Months later we had the opportunity and the blessing to have found a spot in Kapolei, which Brandon and his fellow partners had been there for us every step of the way, it was a long process but in the end we moved into our new home, our very first and none of this wouldāve happened without you, Brandon! Much Mahalo!." -Kaleo Buck & Cassandra Prestoza

"I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the highest level of service from Brandon Sakata. This process was lengthy, due to my specific request to purchase a newly built home. With Brandon's guidance we participated in multiple lotteries to explore all options available. Thanks to his patients and support, I was finally successful in acquiring the dream home I had in mind. Brandon's professionalism, punctuality and dedication through this process made this journey so much easier. Thank you!" -Jonathan Tomitaka

"Brandon was an awesome agent! He helped us from the very beginning and never forgot about us even though our move took longer than expected. He listened to everything we were looking for and gave suggestions whenever we asked. He was never pushy, but instead really focused on what was best for our family. He gave great insights on the current market in Honolulu, and you could tell that he has knowledge of all the different areas. Even though this was not our first time buying a home, we relied on Brandon for many things during the escrow process. We are so glad to have had him helping us out! He was always available for our many questions, and we are very thankful to have found such a great real estate agent." -The Rivera Family

"This is our second time working with Brandon and both experiences have been a great one. He first helped us buy our first property and made it a simple and stress free process. He now helped us sell that property and it was an even easier process. We got top dollar for our property and at that time, highest price sold for similar properties in the area. We plan to continue to work with Brandon in the future as he made the home buying, and now selling process a stress free enjoyable one. Thank you!" -Devin Fukunaga & Kylie Wada

"We couldn't have had a more positive experience than what we did. This was our first experience purchasing a condo, and we had not a minute of stress thanks to Brandon's outstanding customer service! He kept us informed at every step in the process. Brandon was extremely efficient in clarifying any question we had. Texts, phone calls and emails were responded to immediately! It didn't matter if it was during the work day, evening or weekend! Although he's a young realtor, he has the experience of a well- seasoned one. I am forever grateful to him in helping us find the perfect first home for my daughter, and was surprised by his personal gift. My daughter is proudly displaying her "Welcome Home" sign in her new home and will always be reminded of the help we all received from Brandon. We have confidently made referrals to him, and will definitely continue to do so." -Fay Nishimura
