"I’m so grateful that I met Kai, who successfully guided me through my Hawaii real estate transaction. As a resident of Japan, selling a US-based property is not an easy task. Kai was responsive and answered all our questions, and guided us to make efficient decisions to support the process. Kai is a very competent real estate professional. Thank you again for all your help, Kai! I could not have done it without your support." - Keiichi Iwasa

His attentiveness and kind service is really helpful, and he gains a lot of trust from his clients. Kai is also familiar with other real estate markets, including California and New York. I look forward to a continued, profitable partnership with Kai." - Y. Takeda

"I want to express my gratitude for your expert handling of the sale of my condo. You evaluated the condition of the unit correctly, and coordinated the necessary measures to maximize its readiness for sale. With your help, we set a reasonable asking price which brought in immediate very attractive offers somewhat larger than the asking price. All of the details of negotiation, documentation and closing were carefully arranged and the transaction was completed ahead of schedule. I am completely satisfied with your handling of this sale and would strongly recommend your services. " - Alan Atwood

His knowledge, work ethic and honesty were evident throughout the process. He returned all my calls/texts in a timely manner and solved all problems quickly. Since I was unable to fly to Hawaii, I trusted his judgment and he came through each and every time. I would highly recommend Kai for any real estate need." - Michele Wiese

"After living and working in midtown Manhattan (New York City) for about 30 years, my wife and I decided to retire and live in a warmer climate surrounded by a beautiful ocean. We had several options in terms of locations such as the Caribbean, California, Florida, etc., but after a long research and conversation with friends in various places, we decided to move permanently to the Big Island of Hawai'i. We met with a couple of real estate agents, but at the end of the day, we decided to work with Kai. He was the agent who worked with a friend of ours who also moved from New York City to the Big Island several years before us. Our friend was very happy with Kai's work and professionalism and highly recommended him to us. Kai never disappointed. Before deciding on our house, we traveled to the Big Island twice from Manhattan. As our time was limited during our visits, we worked with Kai via e-mail to clearly communicate our budget, preference in terms of type of house, location, neighborhood, etc. We liked MacArthur's website which made it easier to identify potentials with Kai's advice and recommendations. When we arrived in Kailua-Kona, Kai understood our needs and had already short-listed potential houses we should visit. By the end of our second trip to Kailua-Kona, we had two finalists and decided on the current home due to its location, neighborhood, price, house structure, yard, and beautiful ocean view. Not only is Kai an excellent real estate professional who made our purchasing process go smoothly in spite of the time difference between Hawai'i and New York, he is the ultimate agent who supports his clients even after the closing of the property transaction. In our case, he introduced us to (i) the best company/team that renovated our home's exterior and interior (including an interior designer) as well as (ii) an excellent yard service individual who keeps our yard beautiful. My wife and I would highly recommend Kai to anyone who may be interested in purchasing or selling properties on the Big Island of Hawai'i. You will be very happy with your decision to work with him." - Takashi and Yuko Miyake

"Aloha! After 40 years living on O`ahu and soon to retire, it was time for a change for my wife and me. How fortunate we were to have selected Kai as our real estate agent. Prior to our meeting him in person, Kai took the initiative, through phone calls and emails, to find out what we were looking for in finding our new home on the Big Island. Then upon picking us up at the Kailua Kona airport, Kai showed us a number of homes, each of which met our requirements. After narrowing down our choices to a few, Kai arranged for additional viewings of the ones we really liked. We made the decision to purchase our new home, but still had to arrange for the sale of our house on O`ahu. Further, I continued working, postponing retirement for three months, which put off our move to Kailua Kona. During that three-month delay, Kai watched over our vacant house, sending us emails to assure us that the house was fine and that we should have no concerns about its being unoccupied. Finally, our move happened; how wonderful to be in our new home. But Kai’s help did not end with our moving in. He informed us of things we needed to do, such as arrange for trash pickup with a private company. He recommended and arranged for yard service and pool/spa maintenance. Kai also informed us about local restaurants and markets. Altogether, Kai made the purchase, move in, and settling down experience so very easy and hassle-free for my wife and me. Kai continues to be a source of information and assistance to us long after the purchase of our new home, which we very much appreciate. It was and continues to be a pleasure to have worked with Kai; I very strongly and gratefully recommend Kai to others in need of a professional and caring real estate agent. Mahalo" - “J” Plett

"I purchased a second home and investment property in Mauna Lani Resort. Kai has excellent bi-lingual skills and gave us a clear picture of the most up-to-date market trends in Japanese. He also helped us negotiate and close the transaction to our satisfaction. He was able to clearly explain every step of the real estate purchase process in Hawaii, which can be very unique. Kai is now a great friend and has given us warm support, even after the closing." - H. Miyamoto

★★★★★
"I was referred to Kai by my trusted real estate agent in Japan. As soon as we met Kai, we felt strongly that we could trust him. And we were right! The purchase price ended up a little higher than we planned, but we are very happy with our new Hawaii home!" - Akihiko and Ruriko Yahata

★★★★★
"Kai helped us purchase our first home in Kona in December 2015. He then helped us purchase a second home in a private resort in 2018. His vast experience, market knowledge, and negotiation skills are superb. He also provides sincere support and follows up after the closings. His help offered us peace of mind since we do not live full time on the island." - Tai and Yuri Miyajima

★★★★★
"It was natural to want a second home in Hawaii after numerous visits. Kai kindly explained the ins and outs of owning a second home/investment property on the Big Island, and helped us purchase our perfect Hawaii home. He assisted us with setting up a vacation rental by finding a management company, a tax attorney, as well as furnishings. We strongly suggest Kai for anyone interested in a property purchase. He is really sincere and kind. Thank you Kai!" - T. Okamura
