What my clients are saying...
Tanya came highly recommended by a local friend. This was my first time buying property in Hawaii. I purchased the property while I was still living in LA so wanted the assurance of a knowledgeable real estate agent. When I first reached out, Tanya responded within minutes. She was so enthusiastic, pleasant and knowledgable. We immediately connected. While I had already seen and selected the home/property that I wanted to purchase, she acted quickly to submit the offer the same day. She cleared explained the entire process and assisted to set the escrow in motion so seamlessly. Tanya constantly checked in with me, giving me updates. I am so grateful for her efficiency. And loved her consistently pleasant demeanor. Tanya is a delight! She is a skilled real estate agent and have already recommended her to new friends I have made now that I live in Hawaii.
My wife and I learned of Tanya Sunshine by way of an excellent recommendation from another buyer. One of her recent clients we met by chance. A family just like ours looking for the same type of property and way of life. They gave a glowing review and shared that Tanya's extra efforts helped overcome a few challenges with their buying experience. After a phone interview and learning more, we decided that Tanya was a great fit for us given her many 'other' skills and interests outside of real estate, in addition to her depth of knowledge and experience in the market we are searching. What has impressed me most is the back ground of info she brings knowing the history of many properties and the people that owned them prior to the current sellers. This went above and beyond what we had hoped for in a buyers agent. To top it all off, Tanya is very personable and fun. This makes an exhaustive day of property searching much more enjoyable. Give Tanya a chance to help you find your spot in Hawaii or sell the one you already love.
