"Kendra is awesome! I’m a first time home buyer and she made the process easy. I thought it was going to be a lot harder. She’s nice and knowledgeable, any time I had questions, she had the answer or would get me the answer. " - A. Simpliciano
★★★★★
"Buying a home can be a very stressful process. Especially a home in Hawaii, it can be an almost impossible and unbearable process. Kendra made the process smooth and stress free. Kendra Okihiro has accompanied me through months of searching and open houses, working patiently, resourcefully, and being well accessible. I am a first time home buyer and with very little knowledge about the home buying process. It took a few months to find a home in this very competitive market, but Kendra kept me positive & hopeful. I absolutely loved working with Kendra and would highly recommend her to all of my friends and family who are looking for a place they can call their own.

"Finding Kendra was a dream come true! We were first time homebuyers and she came highly recommended by our loan officer. She was very professional and efficient. She made us feel comfortable, was easy to “talk story” with and was always very prompt to respond. When we saw our third property we instantly knew that was it! There were several other offers but we were very fortunate to be selected. I have to think that part of the reason the sellers real estate agent chose us was because they had worked with Kendra before and trusted her. I can’t say enough to thank Kendra for helping us find our dream home and making our dreams a reality!" -Villaver Ohana

"Kendra was recommended to us by a friend, and when we checked her references, we found former clients were very enthusiastic about her work. We feel the same. She assisted us with selling our treasured family residence in Royal Summit. Kendra is extremely organized and responsive, and we feel she provided us the best service possible." - Coste Ohana
★★★★★
"Kendra is very knowledgeable and helpful. She is also always available to answer our questions. She negotiated our first home in Hawaii in 2016 down to a reasonable price, then provided us with great advice on what price to list our house when we were ready to downsize after our children had grown and moved out. After we sold that house in 2021 (way above the asking price), she guided us on how to get our current home in Mililani Mauka even in a crazy competitive market. We will use Kendra again when it is time for us to sell our current home. " - Rich & Lynne Fanara

"Kendra Okihiro was AWESOME!!! She made our journey possible from cleaning, staging & selling my grandfather’s house FULL of clutter for an excellent price, all the way to helping us purchase a large & beautiful new home for a household of 3 generations. Her encouraging words really helped us in moving forward despite tiring moments. She always kept us updated with every detail and was there anytime we had a question. She’s the best at what she does!!!! We are so thankful we called her!! " - Iseri Ohana

"We met Kendra at an open house nearly a decade ago. She was very professional, friendly, and organized. She worked quickly and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process every time. Since then she helped us buy our first townhouse, then helped us sell that one for a great price as our family grew. We used that equity to put towards our beautiful family home today. We gladly recommend her to friends and will definitely use her in the near future. Thank you Kendra! " - Kobashigawa Ohana

"Kendra Okihiro is a high speed, excellent, professional, and goodhearted real estate agent. Even though the market was widely competitive, she made buying our very first home with a VA loan a reality. " - Raqueno
Kendra’s journey into a real estate career began when she purchased her very first home at the young age of 21 years old. The coveted American Dream of homeownership became a reality, and as Kendra experienced financial security and equity growth firsthand - it compelled her to become a real estate investor and want to help others achieve those same benefits of homeownership for themselves.
In 2008, Kendra became licensed and learned the mechanics and details of real estate “grass-roots style” from a small brokerage firm. She was later recruited to Locations, where over the next 12 years further established herself as a successful agent amongst her clients and peers alike. Kendra earned numerous awards like Most Closed Transactions within the Company, Client Service Awards, & Hawaii Business Magazine’s Top 100 Realtors in Hawaii. Consistently ranked in the top tier of sales, she was voted in as a Partner while being the youngest and fastest in the firm's history at that time. Kendra later decided to elevate her expertise and client experience by joining Compass, a highly sophisticated & technologically advanced brokerage firm.
Whether representing local or mainland buyers, or sellers of homes small or large, Kendra's commitment to her clients is unparalleled. There is no greater proof than the volume of her business that comes from referrals. As the world continues to modernize, Kendra brings the perfect blend of modern technology and old fashioned hard work that sets her apart from the rest. Whatever your real estate goal, you can trust that Kendra is on your side, in your corner, and working diligently as your Oahu realtor.
Outside of real estate, Kendra is a devoted mother to her two teenage sons who attend Mid-Pacific Institute and is a proud part of the school’s well-established baseball program. Her interests also include working out at F45, enjoying cocktails with friends, cooking homemade meals, and chasing gorgeous Hawaiian sunsets.
