Lailan was technically our second realtor in our Hawai’i home search. If anything, her five-star reviews made us underestimate the experience we had throughout our home buying experience. She was constantly warm and friendly with us, always actively advocated for us when other realtors would turn belligerent or lazy, and responded quickly via text/email/phone. She grew up on the island and thus has experience you simply cannot replicate. She knows each area like no one else- we're talking schools, restaurants, things to do- and she knows the people you'll most likely be interfacing with in escrow as well. But, let’s rewind for a moment. Though we're hardly the first mainlanders to try and buy a vacation home on Hawai'i, it unfortunately felt that way with the first realtor we worked... Show More
Lailan and her team are the best there is. We knew nothing about buying a home and from day one they made our experience as smooth as possible. They helped us find our perfect home and made sure they explained things thoroughly so that we understood and felt secure. They are on the ball 24/7, always available to answer even the smallest questions. If you are looking for a realtor yourselves a giant favor and give Lailan and her team a call. You won't regret it.

My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with Lailan. Everything went perfect and we closed on time! Any issue's we had she handled them seamlessly and kept on top of everything, which was huge for us since we were in California. We would highly recommend Lailan. I've been involved in many real-estate transactions and this was one of the least stressful ones I've ever been involved with! The staff was also amazing. Thank you Lailan for a job well done.....Mahalo!

I'm a real estate investor and currently live in CA. I interviewed multiple agents as I've very picky about who I choose to do business with. Lailan stood out to me because of her knowledge of regulation. She has impressed me in the short time frame I've known her. The best quality I've found about Lailan is she is an honest and trustworthy agent. Having an agent that is an expert and someone that you can trust is very hard to come by. My team absolutely enjoys working with Lailan. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LAILAN if you are looking to purchase a property. She will help you navigate any issue you may encounter.

Lailan is awesome! She helped us every step of the way and I could not recommend a better person. She was very passionate about helping a local family get our piece of land in these crazy times and made sure that we weren’t being taken advantage of in negotiations. She was available to us at all times and made sure our deal went through without a hitch. We came across her by chance while searching for a realtor and could not be happier with our choice. She lived up to her reputation portrayed through reviews that we saw along with help from Puka who took care of all the numerous documents that come along with real estate transactions. If you are searching for a realtor I could not recommend a better choice!
It was a pleasure to work with Lailan and I highly recommend her! She is friendly, personable, professional and went out of her way to ensure my home was sale-ready as soon as possible. She pays attention to detail to create an inviting atmosphere in the home, which resulted in three offers the first day! We did everything long-distance and the entire transaction went smoothly. Thank you so much! :-)
She was wonderful, always going to extra mile for us.
Lailan went above and beyond for us, buying a condo on the island while we are so far away. She’s super responsive and tireless when it comes to getting the details right.
This is our second transaction with Lailan. She is excellent on all accounts. She is professional and has the aloha spirit that Hawaii is known for. I would recomend her for any buyer or seller without any hesitation. I do not think you can find a better agent.

I have been fortunate to work with Lailan on the sale of a home on more than one occasion. She is professional and has a way of making even people she has just met feel like a friend. Lailan is knowledgeable and accessible. I have always appreciated her sound advice and her diligent follow-through. She will work hard for you!! I highly recommend Lailan and her mother Kelly Valenzuela for all your real estate needs!

When we sold our property in Hawaii we hired Lailan Bento to help us through the process. From the first day she impressed us with her knowledge and her efforts to sell our home for the best price possible. Since we were not present in Hawaii, we had to trust her and we were absolutely right in doing so. She took care of all the necessary steps to grant a smooth and successful transition to the new owners. We can highly recommend her and thank her for doing the utmost. Robert Edel and Daniel P.

Awesome real estate agent that goes the extra mile. I have had dealings with many agents through the years and Lailan is without a doubt the very best. Without question I would recommend Lailan to any buyer or seller.
Lailan is amazing! She really goes the extra mile for her clients. She is always available and is so on top of everything. It has been such a pleasure to have her as our realtor.
This is our second time working with Lailan. She’s been incredible both times. She is hardworking, honest, professional and goes above and beyond. Selling our home during the pandemic was challenging- she got our house sold more quickly than we expected. We were so thankful to have her representing us!! Her whole team was great.
Very conscientious and always went the extra mile for us.

I worked with Lailan over the past 4 months to help me find a great Big Island home. This was the conclusion of a 2 year hunt where I must have looked at 400 or so listings or so and realized I needed professional help. Lailan was very patient with me listening to my wants and being honest and realistic about a very different market in Hawaii. Not only did she grow up on the Big Island but has been there her whole life. That is one of the main reasons I selected Lailan as my agent. Local knowledge is invaluable and Lailan has it in droves. In addition, Lailan was instrumental in working with the property owners who were the selling agents to create a fair deal for both parties. What a great job all the way through closing. Easy peasy, 27 days from acceptance of offer to move in!!!!... Show More

She is an RE professional in every way. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She was very attentive to all matters, including those which were not directly related to her responsibilities. One could not ask for a better representative in what is usually one of the largest, single financial transactions one becomes involved with in their lifetime.

Lailan is the best to work with. We've now bought two properties with her and both times she was excellent. She took care of so many things for us, was always quick to respond, and even helped keep things moving on the seller's side by staying on top of them. Lailan goes the extra mile for her clients, up to arranging a place for me to stay when coming from the mainland when closing slipped. If you are buying from the mainland you need someone like Lailan, and if you are local and shopping she will help find the right properties for you. I've recommended her to multiple friends both on and off island.

Lailan was an absolute pleasure to work with. Professional, hard working, punctual and a great personality. She went above and beyond even after the house closed. She also had important insight about the Big Island that helped us immensely as mainlanders. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience with her and will work with her again for future real estate endeavors.
Lailan was very efficient from the beginning to the end, always made sure all parties involved in each step is completed in timely manner. Her understanding of the local market and knowledge of ordnances helped and ensured navigating through the property search and transaction to go smoothly. She is versed in different types of properties from a humble residence to luxury condos. Lastly she understands the people and the culture of the island, which was also important to us.
