Sue Jo

"Sue Jo was nothing but helpful during the entire process start to finish and even after the sale. We will definately be recommending Sue Jo and Better Homes and Gardens to our friends and family. Just simply a wonderful person who outs your families needs first. Awesome service."

"More than anything, I found Sue Jo to be trustworthy, friendly and helpful. She bent over backwards to get me through this historic seller's market and out of her way to uncover suspect or hidden issues. Even before I was in her time zone, she was assisting me virtually with complete dedication. Her attention to detail is second to none. Sue found discrepancies and noted issues that I had not even thought to ask about or even knew I should care (I'm not a rookie to buying a home btw.) She went through ALL my contracts step by step (and multiple times in this seller's market). Answered the same questions, multiple times with such patience. Sue is "beast mode" when the time comes to negotiate price. She went to work as if she was buying the home herself. She is absolutely THE best asset and provides the quality of service that demonstrates the value of the real estate agent. She is not only a credit to her brokerage and BHGRE Realty, but also to the real estate industry at large. Sue Jo will work tirelessly for her clients. She is wonderful! Enthusiastically recommend and thank you Sue!"

"Sue is a miracle deliverer--we were able to find our "forever" home and negotiate a winning offer to obtain the house of our dreams...all in the worst housing market in the history of America! Sue is a truly fantastic realtor with an unparalleled work ethic and compassion--she listens and truly cares about her clients needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home, you wont regret it!"

"Sue Jo has gone above and beyond any expectations we ever had for a realtor.She was so knowledgeable about the homes in the area. The stock of homes on the market was so limited, so she set up appointments with homes that were not currently showing just so we could get an idea of the different layouts of the various homes in the area.We only had 10 days for our house hunting trip and we didn't expect to walk away with a contract during this short time frame. We looked at several homes on our first day and decided to put an offer on our potential dream home. We won the contract! She also set up both the home inspection and AC inspections while we were still on our house hunting trip. She anticipated every question we had and immediately contacted whoever she needed to for answers. She is also very quick to respond to any texts and emails.She stayed in contact with us every step of the way reminding us to sign documents and relaying/ explaining everything related to the contract. She was quick to act in our best interest and inquire about things that she wanted clarification about from the sellers.We also wanted to make some renovations before moving into the home. She set up contractor estimates with several different companies to get us quality workmanship at a great price. Her background in art and graphic design has made it so easy to trust her judgement when helping us pick out our paint colors and flooring.Like I said, she has really gone above and beyond her expected duties and seems to truly enjoy helping us get everything we want and need. She had made this traditionally stressful process a breeze. I couldn't say enough great things about Sue Jo!"

"Sue Jo is simply the best out there. Her work ethic is unparalleled to anyone in the business. She was always well prepared for every showing and answered all of our questions. Though we took a while to find a place, she would be so supportive the whole time and she would never give up on us. With out her help I don't think the whole process would have been so easy and enjoyable.As new homeowners the process was very intimidating to us, but with Sue Jo's help, the process was so much less stressful because she helped us through the whole process and let us know what was coming up.We absolutely loved having Sue Jo as our agent and would recommend her to anyone and everyone we come across."

"I am a repeat client of Sues. She helped me sell my condo in town in 2018.Her undeniable service-minded attention to detail in the local housing market allowed a smooth purchase of my home in Aiea. It felt like a miracle to find the home that I wanted in todays market.Sues calm yet passionate demeanor reassured me of every step in the process. We all know buying an older home can be nerve racking; but Sue knew who to contact, when to contact them, and kept me informed throughout. I always highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a responsive and attentive real estate agent that 100% has your interest at heart."

"Sue is the absolute best.Not only is she super knowledgeable about the real estate market in Hawaii, shes also super thoughtful and genuine. Sue helped us to buy our first home. We were so nervous but Sue was so patient and made a scary process actually enjoyable. A couple of years later, Sue helped us to sell our first home for above asking price!! She has a great eye for design and I have no doubt that it was her staging that helped our home to sell above asking.We are so thankful that we met Sue."

"We are so blessed that our friends recommended Sue for this journey. Sue has the qualities that a home buyer needs on his/her side when engaging in this competitive market. She won our trust and confidence with her knowledge, dedication, timely responses and love for people. We watched Sue deal with a diverse set of agents representing sellers and she kept us grounded and well informed. We also valued Sue's advice even more than the advise from our colleagues and friends. I was particularly impressed with Sue's attention to detail in ensuring inspectors were doing their job and also ensure I was properly informed on the specific documents prior to obtaining our signatures. We also watched her crawl under homes and watched climb ladders to inspect attic spaces with inspectors. That was impressive and I have never met an agent that is so engaged in ensuring their customers are obtaining the best service. Further, Sue was quick to share her views based on learning about my wife's likes and dislikes and that was very valuable. We may have to buy a second home in order to have Sue around again; however, she will be in our corner if we sell. Sue provided a first class service in the Hawaii Real Estate market, she is the world champ! You are the best, Sue!"

"Sue has been outstanding with everything from helping get our house marketable to the final inspections!! I would absolutely give her the highest recommendation possible!!Sue was absolutely flawless with every detail from the paperwork, to closing!! She made sure that everything was in perfect order through each phase!!Sue made things happen that we thought would be impossible! She worked tirelessly until everything was complete, and way above satisfaction!!Everyone that Sue linked us up with at Better Homes and Garden was amazingly professional, knowledgeable, friendly and kind!!We couldn't have asked for anyone better to work with!! Thank you Sue and Better Homes and Garden for everything!!"

"Our best sales experience ever."

"This is the fourth property I've purchased in my life, and by far the most professional and knowledgeable of all agents. I have recommended her to acquaintances and would work with her again.I met Sue at an open house she was hosting and was very impressed with her professionalism. I knew that I could work with her in the future.Prior to the selection of the house I purchased, I looked at 15+ houses with Sue, most were her idea. She had a good understanding of my needs and priorities."

"Sue Jo is the absolute definition of above and beyond. She is an absolute joy to deal with and raises the bar for her entire industry. If you are buying or selling a home on Oahu, stop reading reviews right now, and call her. When I bought my first house, I didnt have a Sue Jo, and the experience I had with my agent made me question what real estate agents get paid for. When it came time to buy our home in Hawaii, we were fortunate enough to meet Sue, and now that we have successfully closed, in the worlds craziest market, I question how I will survive life in general without her! Her due diligence is second to none (consistently identified items that the inspectors missed), she knows someone who can evaluate or help resolve seemingly anything, she knows the legalize and the local real estate market like the back of her hand, and she even watched our kids so my husband and I could tour houses during covid! I trust her judgement without hesitation and know you will too. As happy as I am to have our new home, our life feels a little more empty without the daily chats with Sue. I hope we will be in our home for a very long time, but if we ever think of moving again, she will be my very first call."

"I wish all agents were as dedicated and professional as Sue. Everyone need Sue."

"5 stars are simply not enough - on a scale of 1 to 5, Sue is 100!When my wife and I decided to put our condo on the market we lived on the East Coast and were concerned with the challenges associated with selling property from over 5,000 miles away. I can honestly say that from the moment we connected with Sue, we knew our property was in the right hands as it was clearly evident she keeps her clients best interests as her number one priority. She made the entire process completely stress free - coordinating with our property manager to transition the unit from recently vacated rental to move-in ready listing. Whether it was coordinating/planning and overseeing renovations, listing the condo, or our virtual closing, Sue took every opportunity to meet our needs, at times anticipating them, and addressed all our concerns with her flawless communication style and selfless dedication. Despite the 6-hour time difference, Sue was ALWAYS available to discuss updates and options, or walk us through dry real estate documentation, line-by-line. She provided expert recommendations every step of the way to guide us, making this the most seamless real estate transaction weve ever experienced. Sue Jo is one of the best in real estate, she knows her business and will always exceed the highest of expectations."

"Sue is really awesome! She has been very helpful in selecting my home. What I like about her is she goes though all the documents with you. From the beginning to closing, she is with you all the way! I also like how she finds the right questions to ask to the other parties. Shes always thinking ahead. As a first time buyer, I felt at ease with her constantly involving me in everything thats happening throughout the process. Communication to a realtor is a key to a very successful transaction. I could not have a better realtor than her. Shes fantastic and so much energy! Thank you for all your help!"

"Sue Jo is an awesome Realtor Agent. She was very thorough & professional and made sure all info was provided and understood. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to buy/sell their property. Thank You for your excellent service! We are enjoying our home."

"Sue is very friendly. She made the process of selling my home of 25 years less stressful. I was very overwhelmed with how much work and stuff I had to get rid of and pack. Sue helped me pack and even sent her family to help move all the big items. I am extremely grateful for how much Sue has gone above and beyond for me. I would not have been able to do it all by myself! Sue even gave me lots of advice and was very knowledgeable. My house sold in a month!"

"She never pressured for any sale. She did negotiate the price if the property below asking price and it was accepted at our original entry offer even though it was below asking price and there was another buyer. To get a home below asking in Hawaii Kai is unheard of, she is a miracle worker!"

"Sue Jo provided us with excellent service. The team at BHG worked diligently to make sure everything flowed in a timely manner. Sue works hard and is persistent about keeping the lines of communication open. I will definitely be referring Sue to friends & family as she is diligent & dedicated looking out for your best interest."

"If you are looking to sell/purchase a home and are worried about the stress of it all, then look no further! I can promise if you work with Sue Jo, she will take the stress out of the process, her knowledge of the market, and most importantly open line of communication will make your experience an absolutely positive one! I can not THANK her and her team at Better Homes and Gardens RE enough.....beyond satisfied with the service I received!!!"

"Sue was the best realtor that we could've asked for - she's very friendly and easy to talk to. She was very patient and was quick to respond when we had any questions. We knew that she would be willing to stand up for us. We would definitely recommend Sue to anyone looking for a home!"

"Sue Jo is the best agent I could have asked for! She is extremely service oriented and met every need I had in the sales of my property.It felt as though Sue knew exactly what would work and anticipated every detail of the sales transaction. Her knowledge of the market was critical in the successful and timely sale, which proves she is an outstanding agent!I cannot express strongly enough the positive impact and high level of service and commitment that Sue and Team Kiriu have for me as a client. If anyone is looking to buy or sell property, I would recommend Sue without hesitation! She is a top notch real estate agent!"
