My wife and I moved our family from Seattle so our kids could grow up around the aloha spirit. We reside in the Westside of Oahu now, and our favorite thing is the daily dose of sunshine and being close to the beach.

Aloha, I am David. Eleven years in real estate across two markets has given me a wide base of market knowledge and the ability to help people buy and sell all over Oahu. I am licensed in Hawaii and in Washington, and a father of two who made the same move a lot of my clients are making. Helping other families find their place here is the most rewarding work I have ever done.

Faith comes first for me, family next, and that order is exactly why your interests come before my commission. Every time.

What working with me looks like

• Straight, kind answers. You will always know where you truly stand, and what I would do in your shoes.

• An update every week. In writing, so you are never wondering.

• Everything in one place. Your documents live in one portal, ready when you need them.

• Showing days that flow. Routed in order, with a map, confirmed before we head out.

• A calm escrow. I introduce you before they call and tell you what is coming, so nothing lands as a surprise.

• I show up. In person, at the property, as often as it takes.

Who I love working with

Families relocating to or from the mainland. I have made that move myself, with two kids and a spouse who needed to find work here, so I know what the timeline really feels like.

Buying your first home? You are in good hands. I will walk you through every step before it happens, at whatever pace you need, and you will never sign something you cannot explain back to me.

Using your VA benefit? Many of my clients have, and I know how to get that loan closed on time and protect your benefit along the way.

Selling? You will get my honest read on your home's value, backed by the comparable sales, and a plan to get it in front of the right buyers.

The part that matters

Anyone can open a door. What you are really hiring is someone who will stay with it, through the negotiation, through escrow, and through whatever comes up that nobody planned for. My clients know I do not walk away when a file gets complicated, and they know exactly where things stand the whole way through.

One of them put it this way: "He never gave up on us. His hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed. 100 out of 10!" That is the standard I hold myself to.

Let us talk about what you are hoping to do. Call or text me at 808-940-9420, or book a time that works for you. No pressure, no obligation, just a real conversation about your next move.
