Testimonials

I have been in the global real estate business for a long time. Kai has helped my clients purchase and sell properties numerous times in Hawaii. And in 2018, he helped me sell my Hawaii property. His attentiveness and kind service are really helpful, and he gains a lot of trust from his clients. Kai is also familiar with other real estate markets, including California and New York. I look forward to a continued, profitable partnership with Kai.

I’m so grateful that I met Kai, who successfully guided me through my Hawaii real estate transaction. As a resident of Japan, selling a US-based property is not an easy task. Kai was responsive and answered all our questions, and guided us to make efficient decisions to support the process. Kai is a very competent real estate professional. Thank you again for all your help, Kai! I could not have done it without your support.

I am a real estate investor with 30 years of experience and currently manage a portfolio of 25 properties. I have dealt with hundreds of Realtors®️. I can say that kai is the best! He provides an unparalleled level of market knowledge, advice, customer service, and, above all, honesty! Kai will make your real estate transaction both trouble-free and profitable!

Kai helped us purchase our first home in Kona in December 2015. He then helped us purchase a second home in a private resort in 2018. His vast experience, market knowledge, and negotiation skills are superb. He also provides sincere support and follows up after the closings. His help offered us peace of mind since we do not live full time on the island.

When we started looking for a home in Kona we were recommended to Emil. He was great to work with, extremely patient, and really listened to our needs. We looked at many places and through Emil, we found our forever home. We give high recommendations to Emil Knysh, he really understands Island living and embodies the true spirit of Aloha!

Emil sold one property for me and has represented me in the purchase of 6 other properties. Emil is very organized and has great attention to detail, which is what you want in an agent. He has also been terrific in dealing with our lender and other agents. In sum, he is an agent that you can trust to represent you and do it well.

We had the opportunity to sell our beloved home, and Kai was there for us from the very beginning of the process. We went through some tough negotiations, but were able to sell the property for more than we hoped for! His professionalism was impressive. We are really happy and grateful for Kai’s service.

Emil is professional all the way. He gave practical pointers on how to make my Eluna home even more marketable. Arranged for cleaning and lawn services to keep the property in top condition after I moved to Oahu. Coordinated all the transactions needed for a successful sale. Highly recommend.

I was referred to Kai by my trusted real estate agent in Japan. As soon as we met Kai, we felt strongly that we could trust him. And we were right! The purchase price ended up a little higher than we planned, but we are very happy with our new Hawaii home!
