Chris M.T. Bodden's perspective on the local real estate market in Hawaii.
I am committed to serving my clients needs in all aspects of real estate, & being their 'go to guy' when it comes to real estate. I specialize in residential real estate on Oahu/HI, covering everything from luxury properties to short sales & foreclosures. With the high number of foreclosures & short sales in todays market, I have adapted to keep the upper hand & make sure that my clients get the best service possible. In addition I also work extensively with people in the military who are relocating to or from Hawaii. First time home buyers are another major area of my expertise. I used to be a Loan Officer this is a huge asset to my clients because I can help point them in the right direction & make sure that they are getting the best deal possible. I have yet to have a client who has not been satisfied with my service. Buying or Selling real estate I can help you.
