We bought our home on Oahu with Merrie and gladly returned to her to sell our house when it was time to move back to the mainland. Merrie was thorough in advising us on how to prepare our property and gave us good referrals for the tasks we couldn't do ourselves.
She made sure our home was at its best before it was listed, she was 100% there for us the whole time and got it sold in 60 days even as competing houses languished on the market in the StarsEdge subdivision of Upper Makakilo. At the time there were 12 listings in nearby HighPointe and 7 in Stars Edge within a one mile radius of our home. She staged the home to perfection with furniture she provided and some we had left behind as we moved on to our new location; then sent our belongings back to us via UPS!

From long-time clients
It was about 13 years ago when Merrie helped us purchase our first townhouse. Over the years she has helped with the sale and purchase of various properties to build up our equity and most recently to purchase our dream home. Merrie was very thorough in her initial meetings with us to get a feel for not only what we wanted, but also what we needed and could afford. We really appreaciated her immediate feedback on new listings as well as professional guidance throughout each step of the sale and purchase process. We found her knowledge and experience in both the real estate market and the real estate laws invaluable. Her prompt actions and follow-up gave us the peace of mind to know each transaction was handled professionally and with our best interests at heart. As we have in the past, we will continue to recommend Merrie's services as a Realtor with full confidence.

From some new clients
My wife and I had just moved to Hawaii and called some friends, hoping to be referred to their real estate agent. They seemed quite happy with Merrie, and it didn't take long for us to see why. We had never purchased a house before since the Air Force kept us moving about every three years, but Merrie made everything so easy. What I remember most is how she tailored her search to our family. Through our excitement, she made sure we were aware of the legal and business issues, but we never got bogged down by the process. With many years of experience, Merrie knew all of the parties involved--the other agents, the escrow people, the mortgage broker, and the inspectors. From beginning to end, the entire purchase was simple. Plus, she's a good haggler, saving us $20,000 off of the purchase price. Merrie is not only our REALTOR, she and her husband Chuck are our friends.
I don't look forward to selling our house the next time the Air Force says move on. But I'll certainly seek Merrie's help----and try to bring her with us to help buy the next one!

Completely satisfied!
I found Merrie to be a person of integrity who kept my best interests at the forefront. Thanks to her I found the house I wanted and there were no hiccups in the entire process of buying. I got a great house at a fair price--with an incredible interest rate. Highly recommend Merrie for your housing needs.

I am happy to write about Merrie representing us in selling our home in Hawaii. Living in California and getting our Hawaii house on the market after having rented it for so long, was a difficult task. Furthermore, the distance, lack of control and not knowing any realtors in the area made it a little overwhelming.
I found Merrie's credentials on the internet and after talking with her on the phone, felt very comfortable with her representing us in selling our property in Ahuimanu.
She was always forthcoming, helpful, honest and on top of the transaction. It was a very smooth, easy, and hassle-free process and a most pleasant experience.
Thank you, Merrie, for a job well done.

We were happy to have found Merrie to be our buyer's agent. We were first-time homebuyers, and she was very responsive to our many questions and was patient with us throughout the process. She was definitely "on our side".
One of her strengths that impressed us was her extensive experience with the Hawaii market. She is familiar with the local laws and customs, other agents, and vendors. This helped keep us very comfortable and reassured when finding and buying our new home.
We would use Merrie again and recommend her to friends.
Thanks,
