"If you want the best, call Mike. Mike is simply a consummate professional realtor. He epitomizes the ethical standards by which all realtors strive to achieve. He is the opposite of the used-car salesman type realtors that you may have encountered before. Over 2 years ago, Mike helped us secure our dream condo by Diamond Head, skillfully negotiating down a list price of $569,000 to a bargain of $510K! When my wife and I decided to begin investing in Waikiki real estate, again we selected Mike above the rest. Mike was instrumental in our purchase of a unique studio in a boutique highly-sought after building on Seaside Ave. I highly recommend Mike, and am confident you will, too." - Guerin Earhart, Diamond Head

"Mike provides great service, complete information, and we love his "no-drama" style! Just bought a condo in Kailua and Mike had specific neighborhood information, knew exactly what to expect and what to offer. Also, a sale in Kaneohe was a stress-free experience. We will recommend him unequivocally!" - Michael W. Perry, Kailua

"My husband and I felt very fortunate to have found Mike Styring to act as our Realtor. It always impressed us that when Mike first met us, he took the time not only to find out what we wanted and needed in a home, but also to explain his duty as our agent to put our needs first. I mention this because I worked in the real estate business before, and I have definitely seen agents put their own needs first. Mike always made us feel comfortable, never rushed us or pressured us into making an offer. I think that Mike typically works in a higher price range than our budget allowed, but even though we were shopping in a lower price range, we got first class service and attention. We found Mike to be knowledgeable about every area on Oahu we considered, Windward to Leeward, and Central to Town. " - Anonymous

"Mike Styring from Hawaii Realty International on a recent purchase of a house in Lanikai. Not only is Mike extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in Hawaii (which was important for me, as I am not local), but he is also very professional and totally trustworthy. He quickly developed a sense of what I was looking for so he didn't waste my time, and was always very reliable and responsive. Most importantly, Mike was always 100% on the level, and gave me reliable guidance about real estate values in the area, and how hard to negotiate on price, etc. Furthermore, he really went the extra mile in terms of helping me out before, during and after the closing to coordinate the logistics of the process, and the dozens of details that required close attention to keep the process under control, from putting me in touch with various advisers and service providers, coordinating insurance, managing the escrow agent, etc. And he bought me a few Long Boards along the way and is a cool guy. I can't recommend him highly enough. " - Nat C, Singapore

"I work with many realtors in my profession as a mortgage broker, so I think it’s fair to say that Mike is not just a good agent, he’s by far one of the best I’ve had the pleasure to work with both professionally and personally. I was working with another realtor to sell my current home and purchase a new one, but after working with Mike on several files and learning how he treats his clients with such care and who he was as a person, I chose Mike and his stellar team instead. I made the right decision. We had to do a simultaneous sale and purchase so right off the bat Mike had his hands full. From the day our house went on the market, the sale of my house and the purchase of the new home closed within 11 weeks. There were several times throughout the process where I would look at my husband and say “I’m waiting for something to go wrong because I cannot believe how stress free this process has been”. But nothing ever did. What makes Mike stand out from the crowd is his ability to shift his client’s views of buying and selling property as being such a daunting process to really exciting and fun. His extensive knowledge and integrity made me feel at ease and comfortable to put such a large investment in his hands. No task is too small and no question is left unanswered. I’ve never met a more prepared and efficient professional in this industry. His support, knowledge, kindness, and positive demeanor throughout the process was truly what we valued the most. Even after the close of our home, he’s still checking up on us to see how he can help with anything from advice on remodeling to coming over to help with just about any project. I cannot say enough good things about Mike and his team. He surpassed our very high expectations and I would refer him to anyone. Thank you Mike & Lisa! We appreciate everything that you have done for us. All the best." - Rachel and Dan, Kailua
