I honestly can’t say enough good things about Brandon, both personally and professionally. When my husband and I decided to purchase our first home in 2021, I was excited but extremely nervous. I had never been through the home buying process and had no idea what to expect, what I was supposed to do, or even where to begin with finding a realtor. I was so relieved that my husband had a longtime childhood friend in the industry who he genuinely trusted and who was willing to guide us through such a huge step in our lives.After explaining what we were looking for and what was important to us, Brandon gave us several options and set up a showing for a property that caught our attention. Somehow, the very first place we went to see was the one we fell in love with!We honestly thought there was no way our first showing would turn into anything, especially when we decided to make an offer below the asking price based on Brandon’s professional advice. He knew how to structure and present our offer in a positive way, and to our complete surprise, it was accepted! Our first showing, our first offer, and suddenly we were buying our first home.From there, Brandon guided us through every step. He explained what we needed to do, what to expect next, and what the closing process would look like. Something I had imagined being incredibly stressful ended up going so smoothly with very few hiccups. Even when I didn’t know what I was doing, I never felt like I was going through it alone.Looking back makes the experience even more meaningful. We have since been fortunate enough to completely pay off that home, and it has become an asset we are extremely proud of. As we start thinking about our next purchase—whether it’s a bigger forever home or an investment property—there is no question that Brandon will be the person we call.Our trust in him goes beyond our own experience. My husband and I are insurance brokers, and we confidently refer clients to Brandon, just as he has referred clients to us. More importantly, when my own mom and dad needed to sell their home and figure out their next move, Brandon was the person we trusted to help them. He has been exceptional with my parents throughout that process as well.Buying or selling a home can be exciting, stressful, scary, and emotional all at once, and Brandon has a way of combining his knowledge and professionalism with a personal touch that makes the whole experience so much easier.I’m extremely grateful for everything he has done for me, my husband, and now my family. I couldn’t recommend him more to anyone purchasing their first home, looking for their next property, or selling a home that means a lot to them. Thank you, Brandon, for helping us take that first huge step in 2021 and for continuing to be someone we know we can count on. When we’re ready for property number two, you already know who we’re calling!

Brandon came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and he exceeded our expectations on every level. My husband and I were highly motivated to sell our condo and we knew we were facing a challenging market. From our very first meeting, Brandon was well prepared and knowledgeable, while also taking the time to listen to our expectations and goals.Brandon’s expertise helped us price our condo strategically, and we received a cash offer within the first 2 weeks. He was also extremely helpful throughout the negotiation process and went above and beyond to help us navigate the many details and questions that came up along the way.Brandon is professional, responsive and easy to work with. He made himself available when we needed him and went out of his way to meet with us at our convenience. We were confident that we could trust him with every detail making the selling process much less stressful. We highly recommend Brandon 5 stars!

We had a great experience working with Danny to buy our home in Davis! He was always responsive, informative, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Whenever we sent Danny a property we were interested in, he got back to us quickly with helpful information and insights, and his strong relationships with other local agents often helped us get a better understanding of what was going on with a property.Danny was never pushy and really let us drive the search based on what we were looking for, while being there whenever we needed advice or support. He also consistently went the extra mile to make the process as smooth as possible—even helping us get into the house for a last-minute utility issue right before closing.Danny is a genuinely nice guy, easy to communicate with, and great to work with. We’d absolutely recommend him.

Brandon Sakata IS THE BEST!!!!!He is professional, thoughtful, a great listener, and an excellent problem solver. He leverages his extensive relationships throughout the real estate community to set his clients up for success.Brandon recently assisted us with the sale of an investment property during a slow condo market. He helped us navigate potential pitfalls and devise a clear strategy. His research was invaluable, and having him as a resource was truly priceless.Throughout the process, he worked closely with our tenant to ensure they were comfortable. He coordinated with vendors for photography, built a strong social media presence, and gathered the necessary information to host successful open houses. Thanks to his efforts, we received several offers above the asking price within a week.Brandon takes the stress out of managing all the moving parts. He kept us informed every step of the way, building a level of trust that exceeded our expectations.He is now helping us with a new purchase, and we couldn't be happier! I highly recommend having a conversation with him to see what he brings to the table.

Brandon Sakata is a concierge realtor. I wish that I had a physician like him, one who listens carefully to me, who takes the time to learn who I am and what I want. I had had a bad experience with a realtor group that represents a developer. They had dismissed me as someone who did not have the financial wherewithal to buy a Honolulu condo. They were wrong. But that motivated me to check Yelp for a highly rated realtor, and that is how I found Brandon Sakata. He instantly responded to my call. He spent an hour on the phone listening to me while I explained what I was looking for in a condo. I was moving to Hawaii but I had a lot to learn about Honolulu and the real estate market. Brandon met all my needs for a real estate agent. He was truly "my agent" in all respects. Because he knew me and my preferences, he ran a search that brought up only those properties of potential interest to me. After viewing in person only three properties, I found one in record time, despite being very picky. But he went beyond that, translating the inspection report so that I had a clear idea of the repairs that needed to be made. He gave me the names of plumbing and electrical contractors whom I could trust to get the work done competently. This was especially important to me as someone who was relatively new to Honolulu. Brandon Sakata even helped me identify an expert in Medicare so that I could make a smooth healthcare transition. Am I special in the sense that Brandon Sakata would not do the same for another client? The answer is no. He extends himself for every client and that is what makes him a great realtor. He is worth every penny of the service he provides, and he reaffirms the value that we get when we use a realtor of his quality.

Working with Brandon Sakada to sell our townhouse was an absolute pleasure! From start to finish, he took amazing care of our family.Due to current condo market complications and restrictive guidelines, getting our property into escrow was a challenging process. However, Brandon stayed completely on top of every detail, kept us positive through every hurdle, and successfully got us across the finish line.This was our very first home, so it held a lot of sentimental value for us. Without Brandon’s guidance and expertise, we honestly don't think we would have been able to secure such a fantastic sale price. We are so grateful for his hard work and dedication.We would work with Brandon again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to all of our family and friends!

2026-08-31T22:10:08.465Z

Working with Danny on finding a new place to live was an absolutely great experience. Despite living in Baltimore, MD and being 3 hours ahead, Danny worked around my partner and I's schedules to allow for face time calls to tour properties with us. When our schedules wouldn't line up, he'd video record the walkthroughs and narrate his thoughts on a property for Krystal and I to review when we could. His attention to detail while walking through the numerous properties we viewed was amazing as he would point out things to us that we would never have even considered. His knowledge and experience with buying a new home allowed him to provide us with very sound advice. For Danny, it wasn't just about selling us a house. He took every measure to make sure we knew what we were getting into, and making sure that we were absolutely comfortable with the house we purchased. When travelling from MD to CA, Danny helped coordinate the logistics for my home inspection and pre-employment meetings with UC Davis making sure I had access to easy transportation while in the Sacramento area. His hospitality is truly commendable. Danny is such an amazing human being and Krystal and I honestly cannot say enough positive things about working with him. I highly recommend him as a real estate agent to anyone considering buying or selling a property in the Sacramento area. He is truly the best and we will definitely continue working with him in the future.

Danny is an excellent realtor! My husband and I had casually shopped for houses with Danny for a little while and, after working with us during this shopping process, Danny knew our needs and wants in a home and sent us our perfect property the day it came onto market. He acted fast to put in our offer and was creative through the negotiation process. The escrow process is always stressful but Danny answered all my questions and eased my anxieties. I highly recommend him as a realtor - he’s knowledgeable, creative, and hard-working for his clients.

2026-07-22T06:12:04.670Z

I can’t imagine having a better experience with a realtor. He found a perfect first home for my wife and I, and he did everything in his power to make sure that we got it. Throughout the entire home buying process, Danny was always there for my wife and I - explaining documents, keeping us on track for closing, advocating for the best outcomes for us, and answering the countless questions we had along the way. He truly went above and beyond, and it was so great to have someone in our corner for what can be a very overwhelming process, especially as first-time buyers. I’d highly recommend him to anyone in the Sac/Woodland/Davis area who is looking for a funny, caring, and knowledgeable realtor that really cares about his clients.

2026-07-18T16:46:58.164Z

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. From day one, Brandon was attentive, patient, and always available to answer our questions. He explained every step of the process clearly, which gave us confidence from start to finish.Brandon handled every aspect of the sale with professionalism and care. He priced our home strategically, generating strong interest that led to a quick sale, while negotiating an outcome that exceeded our expectations.

Throughout my home search Brandon was professional, patient, and incredibly supportive.

He checked in with me regularly, was always willing to schedule property showings, gather additional information, and continue searching for new options that fit my needs. I appreciate all of his hard work and would highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and committed realtor.

2026-07-02T01:05:47.496Z

Brandon is knowledgeable, fast, and readily available to answer any questions or concerns. I highly recommend him to anyone buying or looking for a home.Buying a home is stressful! There are so many questions! For example, what is a good offer price? Huge question and one decision that will haunt you with a 30 year mortgage or longer if your refinance. I want a good deal but at the same time, I didn’t want the buyer to think the offer was insulting and decline negotiations. In life and in real estate, I want a good deal! Hence why I love shopping on Prime Day…same great stuff but all at prices that make me happy! Brandon is like the Prime Day of realtors but unlike Prime Day that only lasts 4 days…we can get Brandon’s expertise at negotiations and get the best deal all year round! Brandon looks at the market trends and the pricing in the area and will recommend a price point. That is just one example of the entire home buying process that Brandon really excelled in. Home buying is stressful but with Brandon’s help and expertise you’ll get through it…couple hundred thousand lighter but you’ll get through it with a smile.

2026-07-02T00:29:09.517Z

Brandon is a top notch realtor. He helped me sell my condo in a buyers market. He used his marketing strategies to get my property sold under average days on market. He was a pleasure to work with. Fast, responsive detailed communication which made the entire process seamless while I maintained my busy schedule. I put my trust in his experience and I'm glad I did. I would definitely use Brandon in my future real estate needs.

We recently sold the house my wife grew up in, it was a very emotional time as we had hoped to keep it for future generations. Unfortunately, we decided it was best to let it go and close that chapter of her life. We started looking around for realtors and cane across Brandon’s page. He had so many great reviews, so we decided to give him a call. From our very first meeting, Brandon was warm, friendly, and very compassionate to our situational needs. He understood the emotions my wife had about having to sell the house she grew up in and he took great care ensuring that this was not just another sale for his records. He did everything for us every step of the way. Things were going so smoothly that we at times felt something must go wrong, but it didn’t. Words cannot express the sincere gratitude for everything Brandon has done for us. After our home was sold, he gifted us with a beautiful painting of our home. We will cherish it forever. Brandon is a true gentleman that lives life from his heart. Thank you, Brandon, you are one of a kind!Stan & Jackie

My husband and I are both condo owners but decided we wanted to work with Brandon to find our first home together. With the help of Brandon we were able to purchase our dream home despite having other interested parties. Brandon went above and beyond our expectations - always responsive with clear communication and very detail oriented. We are glad we chose Brandon to be our realtor!

2026-04-01T01:20:47.334Z

Having navigated the Hawaii real estate market extensively, I can say without hesitation that Brandon Sakata is one of the best agents in the business.I had the opportunity to witness Brandon’s work firsthand during the closing of a new condo development that came with its fair share of challenges. What stood out immediately was how he handled every obstacle: calmly, strategically, and always with his clients’ best interests at front. He did everything in his power to keep his buyers informed, reassured, and taken care of, even when circumstances were outside of his control.Over time, his clients consistently come back with nothing but great things to say. The repeat business and referrals he generates speak for themselves.One thing that has always impressed me is that Brandon personally attends every one of his open houses. He has the team to delegate that — especially during the height of the new condo projects’ sales process when his schedule was stretched incredibly thin — but he shows up anyway. That tells you everything about how seriously he takes his commitment to his clients.If you’re buying or selling in Hawaii, do yourself a favor and reach out to him. You won’t regret it.

2026-04-01T00:03:46.496Z

Recently Brandon and David helped us with the sale of our property. We are so grateful for the expertise and professionalism that they provided. Everything went smoothly and in a timely manner. The marketing and staging was done very well. We had a lot of compliments from the buyers and friends. Brandon was able to find the right buyer and family to fit into our family oriented neighborhood. He was also able to get over our asking price. He definitely did his homework and research. All of our family and friends say that they would recommend Brandon to those looking for a realtor. Thank you Brandon and David for a job well done.
