Michael Ramsey Fujita and Gayle Fujita Ramsey, Realtor-Associates, are Award Winning, Top Producers for Realty Executives Oahu (REO).  Mike & Gayle always give 20% of their commissions back to their Buyer Clients!  Mike is the Vice President Real Estate Sales & Marketing for Realty Executives Oahu and Gayle wrote Realty Executives Oahu's "Executive In Training" training manuals and teaching guide lines.  They are also  Residential Property Specialists for REO.  This means that they are not only licensed by the State of Hawaii, but that they have far exceeded their set of Established Performance Criteria in the areas of Luxury Homes and Single Family Homes Marketing and Sales.  Basically, without all of the fancy words and professional terms, this means they can handle all of your Real Estate Needs whether you are looking to buy or sell property.

 Mike and Gayle were the Top Producers for REO for 2007, are members of the Top 1% Club and have won numerous other awards for Customer Service and have even won the coveted "Best of Honolulu".  When you work with Mike and Gayle you can expect to find Real Estate Professionals that will Listen to you, Creative and Aggressive Marketing and Execution of the Plan and Strategy the Created Just For You, Realtors that put themselves out there and make it easy for other Realtors to show their clients your home, Insightful Recommendations and Advice and PROMPT call backs when you phone them with questions, if they were unable to pick up your call when you made it; just to name a few things that set Mike & Gayle apart from other Real Estate Professionals.  The Key to their success is Mike's ability to get the details about your property in front of Qualified and Ready Buyers.  Mike and Gayle's success as a Buyer's Agent comes from their ability to find properties, which at times were not even on the market, for their clients.

Mike and Gayle are Marketing Experts.  They spend far more of their own money on Marketing than most other Real Estate Professionals.  This expense is NEVER paid by their Clients.  They can do this because most agents have to pay a large percentage of their commissions to their Brokers or the company they work for.  Mike and Gayle do not have this expense so they spend that money on Advertising and Marketing.  The end result is that their clients win.

Mike has been in Hawaii for nearly thirty years and Gayle was born on Oahu.  They know every nook and cranny of the island. 

They often hear from buyers, "We want a home that will make us feel like we are in Hawaii!"  "Ocean Views, Waterfalls and Sunsets?" says Mike.  "YES!!!"  For these clients, Mike takes them on a tour of Black Point, Kaikoo Place, Portlock, Haiku Plantations and down the Ridge from Honolulu to Hawaii Kai. 

"Hawaii homes are small and old.  We want larger home with newer construction for under $800,000."  It's off to Kapolei for these clients, and Mike takes them for a total tour of that community.

"Each area of Oahu, Honolulu City and County, is different.  Schools, Shopping, Entertainment, Restaurants, Child Friendly Neighborhoods, Pet Friendly Buildings, Laid Back Lifestyle, Busy City Living.  Each client we work with shares with us those things which are important to them and then Gayle and I go and find the property with the right fit." says Mike. 

Mike and Gayle's main area of Expertise is simple.  It's making their clients Smile.

Mike and Gayle went above and beyond for us.  We have sold two properties with them and we are very happy we did. RSF 2008

I was on the Mainland so Mike emailed me dozens of properties to view.  I flew over to Honolulu and I wanted to see 12 of the properties in one day and Mike made it happen.  There was one property that I loved and we were in escrow the next day.  I own many properties in California and Washington State, Mike and Gayle were the best Realtors I have ever worked with, I feel like I got Two Realtors for One!  CC 2007

I have known Mike and Gayle for years and needed to sell an Apartment Building.  I was too busy to deal with most of the process and Mike and Gayle worked around my busy work schedule to make the sale happen!  GL 2008

I was a Realtor in Arizona and knew nothing about Hawaii.  Mike met us when we got off the plane and took us for an Island Tour.  We feel in love with Kailua.  Thank you Mike and Gayle. S & C 2007

Buyer's Agent.  Every buyer needs a buyer's agent that is dedicated to THEIR best interest.  As Realtors, and members of the National Association of Realtors and the Honolulu Board of Realtors, we are duty bound and Licensed by the State of Hawaii to Protect your Best Interest at ALL Times.

What We Offer Our Seller Clients

When we take your listing, it will be for a 1% or $5,000 Commission, whichever is higher.  In this market, we believe that 3% commissions are too high for families to survive financially.  We will also suggest that you offer from 2.5% to 3% to the Buyer's Broker, this way other Realtors will actively show your property.

Actually Selling Real Property in Hawaii is an art.  The property must show well and help potential Buyers use their imaginations as they walk through it.  They have to see themselves in the home in order to create an emotional attachment to it.  On top of this, the home must also be priced correctly.  Any Real Estate Agent can come to your home and tell you what you want to hear.  Many home owners feel their homes are worth far above Market Value when this is simply not the case.  Here are some things that do NOT set Market Value.  The Price the seller paid for the home, the amount of money the seller wants to make on the sale of their home, the seller's Pride in Ownership.  The only thing that can set the Market Value of a Home is when there is a Meeting of the Minds and the Potential Buyer Offers a Price and the Seller Accepts the Offer to Sell.  This mutually agreed upon Price is the Market Value.

It is in your and our best interest to get the best price possible for your home in today's market.  If you want to test the market to see if your home will sell at an above market price, we wish you the best of luck, there are thousands of Realtors that will take your listing.  We take listings to sell them.  We will pull sales of homes that are very much like yours, and determine the "Center Point Price" of all of these homes.  We will then Suggest a Listing Price Based on These Numbers.
