To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to present to you my utmost and sincere recommendation of Wilfred Lau.

Mr. Lau is the reason that my wife and I now own a Home in Hawaii . Without his help and guidance in finding a house that is suitable for us we would still be renting. Finding the right home took several months and Willy never gave up on us. For that reason alone I would recommend him to anyone. Once we found a house to our liking, Willy went the extra mile on our behalf. He made sure that the price we offered was going to satisfy the owner and that it was within our budget. He assisted in helping to secure financing at a very competitive rate. And then he went to the lender on our behalf to make sure that they held our rate as interest rates were going up all around town.

The owners requested to stay two months after closing. Willy drew up the rental agreement forms and went with me to make sure that the paper work was handled properly. He also located an inspection company to come in and give their OK as to the structure and all its mechanical systems.

Willy is hard working, honest and sincere. There is no doubt in my mind that you will be pleased with the addition of Wilfred Lau to your team of brokers and loan officers,

Sincerely,

James B. Albertson

Dear Willie,

 

Kelly and I just wanted to let you know how grateful we are for the much needed help you gave us in financing our home. When others told us what we couldn't do, you helped us believe in what we can do.

You are a blessing to our family. Your knowledge in Real Estate and Mortgage Brokerage is a combination that works miracles. There seems to be no problem that you couldn't handle.

 

Being first time homeowners, your service in helping us purchase this home is the best Christmas present we have ever had. Thank God for your financial wisdom and knowledge and your desire to help a family fulfill their dream.

 

May God's face continue to shine on you.

Sincerely,

Jarvis Walton

Hawaii 's real estate market has gone completely crazy! Whether you are buying, selling, or refinancing your home in this market, it is vital that you partner with a quality real estate agent.

My agent, Wilfred "Willy" Lau, is much more than just a quality agent. Willy brings decades of experience as a real estate agent, and as a mortgage loan broker. This combination of skills proved to be an important part of my recent experience in Hawaii 's real estate market.

I needed to make a decision: Do I refinance? Remodel? Or Sell my house. From various refinance options and loans, to the market value and comparisons of my property, Willy's comprehensive knowledge provided me with all the information I needed to make a sound decision.

When I decided to sell my property, the experienced salesman side of Willy went into action. Willy was there every step of the way; offering suggestions on preparing and staging the home for showings, and making sure that an open line of frequent communication was in place during the entire process. Above all else, it was Willy's insight and experience that allowed me to price that property perfectly. I received, and closed, a full-price offer that set the high mark for similar properties sold in my geographic area.

Getting an offer and closing the deal are much further apart that one might realize. Willy worked non-stop to ensure that the process would be complete. Understanding loans, the escrow and title services, and all other aspects of real estate sales, Willy was able to give me a priceless commodity: CONFIDENCE. At no time, did I have any doubt that Willy was looking out for my best interests.

Integrity, experience, knowledge, professionalism, and a kind and personable spirit are all attributes that make Wilfred "Willy" Lau not only the best real estate agent, but also a fried.

Dear Mr. Lau,

 

As a first time homeowner I want to express our appreciation and gratitude for the work and insight used to help us purchase our three bedroom apartment. We were extremely pleased with your attention to detail and ability to translate complicated procedures into more comprehensible laymen's terms.

 

We were comforted by your personal service as well. Our periodic meetings to go over details as they arose were particularly beneficial to us. You have a gift to put people at ease with your knowledge of Real Estate and Mortgage Brokerage; a rare combination I might add. As a result you are able to anticipate potential problems or questions and smooth out the proverbial bumps in the road.

 

Again, thank you for your time, effort and patience in guiding us through this most satisfying endeavor. Please feel free to contact me at any time and I will gladly provide a recommendation for the fine work you have done for us.

 

Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Sincerely,

Chris Herndon

Dear Willy,

 

I would like to thank you for making the purchase of my new home as painless as possible, being able to have you show me homes and then represent me to the different financial institutions saved me an incredible amount of time that I just didn't have to spare, you have proved to be a very trustworthy and hard working individual, and I do not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a home. Your dual role as broker and financial officer took an immense amount of stress out of the homebuying experience.

Thank you very much,

Willy,

 

Thank you so much for all of your help finding me a home. For the first time in a while, I feel like I actually have a home I can relax in and spread my arms out instead of living in a box and handing over most of my paycheck to someone else. There are many things that I was not ready for and intimidated by because I did not fully do my homework before starting a househunt. You took the time to explain everything and gave me the honest scoop on everything. Your experience is evident in every conversation and hurdle of the homebuying process. I was not having much success early on in the hunt and I was ready to call the whole search off especially with my busy schedule as a Naval Officer. I had gotten in contact with one realtor and she said she wouln't have time for me for two weeks. I got a call from Willy 10 hours after registering with the website. I was getting calls and updates from him all the time. I'm much happier and stable now.

Thank you so much.

Dear Willy,

 

Thank you so much for representing us in the purchase of our home on Lahaina St. Your knowledge in the sales process as a real estate broker made us feel very comfortable in that we were working with a person with experience and credibility. In addition, your knowledge as a mortgage officer helped keep our deal together. Without your experience as a realtor and mortgage officer, this transaction would not have been possible. You can rest assured that future referrals for assistance in these matters from our friends will go to you."

The thing that's most apparent in Willy's approach to business – honesty. The results of my recent re-finance is living proof. The numbers, the intereset rate, the costs to me...they were exactly as Willy stated. No surprises. Throughout the entire process, I was kept informed. Most importantly, I was educated. Willy goes out of his way to explain financial jargon so that I can understand. Such a skill could only come from a person who really knows his stuff. I felt confident because I knew what was going on every step of the way. Willy is also easy to get a long with–very down-to-earth–a true local boy. He worked hard and when obstacles came up, he was on it. He knew the right people to contact, the right people to do the job. He had a network of people at his fingertips. I felt secure all the way through–like I was his number one client, though I'm sure all his clients feel this way. In the end, Willy stood by every word. I felt terrific. Willy was honest, he worked hard and he knew his stuff inside and out, forward and backward. Willy lives for this stuff. Deep down, he just has to feel good helping others and seeing things through, otherwise, why would he keep doing it all these years?

Dear Mr. Wilfred Lau,

 

We truly appreciate your hard work in helping us get out of bankruptcy. You did a great job working day and night reviewing our loan to get it approved, which we thought would be impossible to do. Besides working hard for your clients, we see that you care and understand what we have gone through. Without your help we would still be in bankruptcy and we, again, greatly appreciate you for everything.

Thank you,
Nelson and Anita Agacaoili
