Testimonials

“My recent home purchase was successful and stress-free thanks to Julianna Garris. What impressed me the most was her research and follow-up. Whenever I had a question about the property or the neighborhood, Julie found the answer quickly. She often provided me with additional documentation for back-up. Her thoroughness and attention to detail make her an excellent representative for her client.”

— Linda E. Ross, Finance Vice President ~ Easter Seal Society of Hawaii

“Julie’s hard work, common sense and ability to deal with people...was the key to pulling the deal ‘out of the fire’ and closing it. I would recommend her without qualification as a realtor for any real estate opportunity.”

— Donald C. McKenne, Capt. USN (Ret.), Planned Giving Officer ~ The Episcopal Church in Hawaii

I want to thank you and Choi for the great work that you performed on our behalf. You are a pro. And it was a pleasure working with you. Loved how you not only kept us informed on the problems, but solved them as well. If you ever need a recommendation, please consider using us.

With the housing market starting to show life, I hope you have a great year with the wind at your back. Since 2008, it has certainly a market been with the wind at your face. With how you get things done, I am confident you will.

Mahalo nui loa (several times over!)

I am writing this lettcr in praise of JUlianna Garris. Julie has been our real estate agent in Hawaii over the last five years. She has guided us successfully in the purchase of two properties in the Diamond Head area. As a California resident, you can only imagine the complexity in time commitment, unique state laws and overall trouble shooting
regarding home structural issues. For us, any problem or issue required only one phone call to fix. We could always call Julie and she somehow always knew the answer or the right person for us to call.

I hope I am as good an orthopedic surgeon as she is a realtor. She has made the dream come true of owning property in Hawaii a reality for us. Her warm personality mixed with superior professionalism makes calling her so easy that at this point the relationship has morphed into a friendship. Hawaii is filled with many able bodied realtors, but you cannot find a better advocate than Julianna Garris.

Just as Michelangelo could see through the exterior of his marble blocks to find the hidden masterpiece, Julianna Garris possesses that same x-ray vision in viewing properties.

Ligia and I want you to know that your services as our Realtor, for the sale of our Peninsula home, far exceeded our expectations. You helped us price it right, moved like lightning to get the word out, sold it in a week for full price and closed it in 45 days.

Wow, I wish everything in our life worked like that!

This was a big event for us, with our retirement plans in the balance; so your professionalism and patience with our nervousness really made the whole transaction much much easier. We will definitely call you the next time we need a top notch Realtor.

Mahalo for your great service and friendship.

I am writing Choi International regarding the recent sale of my Napua Point property at Maunalua Bay. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Choi International, specifically Julianna Garris for her dedication, hard work, and support throughout the process. Julianna's knowledge of real estate, timely responses, and overall handling of the property proved invaluable considering the challenging conditions surrounding the sale. In midst of these economic times, it is comforting to know there are real estate professionals who understand the market conditions and approach to selling a property.

Once again, I thank Choi International and Julianna Garris for her
"professionalism with aloha". I would most certainly turn to Choi International for any future real estate services.
