About Ronda Ching Day
Ronda received the industry's prestigious 2006 Aloha Aina People's Choice Award because of her patience, diligence, and client education of housing trends and creative financing alternatives and after closing (recordation of the sale) customer service. Sponsored by the Honolulu Board of Realtors, First Hawaiian Bank and the Honolulu Advertiser, this award is coveted by realtors because clients nominate realtors and peers select from the nominees. This award was given to a select five amongst the Honolulu Board of Realtors 5000+ membership.
While she doesn't specialize in a specific neighborhood, she specializes in Luxury Condominiums and Homes, as well as, military relocation. Ronda finds working the small island of Oahu aids in better observation of the move-up or move-down trends and market demand. She works well with a team of professionals on the Big Island, Kauai and on Maui to help her clients with their vacation homes.
Ronda began her real estate career in 1985 with a large brokerage firm in the Silicon Valley Area selling real estate from Atherton to Los Gatos (including other cities such as Palo Alto, Portola Valley, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Cupertino, San Jose, Saratoga in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties). She earned the company's distinction as Senior Marketing Consultant and Corporate Relocations Specialist, as well as, received the GRI (Graduate Realtor's Institute) designation. Within three years, she ranked in the top 20 of the Los Altos Board of Realtors. She joined the Honolulu Board of Realtors in 2005. She also received her RECS (real estate cyberspace specialist) designation in 2007.
Ronda's inventory knowledge, staging services, and marketing skills helps sellers increase their investment value. She also receives word-of-mouth referrals because of her mortgage banking and brokering experience. She helps buyer's find their dream home or ideal renovation project. In the last two years of financial/lending crisis, Ronda has helped clients or counseled clients with loan modifications, works with asset management companies doing BPOs (broker price opinions), negotiated complex short sale transactions and helped clients who are looking for the foreclosure bargain.
A local girl, Ronda has lived in several charming Oahu towns. She enjoyed Kailua as a child and remembers the tightknit neighborhood community as well as the weekend family gatherings at her grandmother's Lanikai beach home. She also lived in Kaimuki on Maunalani Heights. A favorite memory was waiting for the giant jinglebells to be strung up and down Waialae Avenue, which signaled the coming of the annual Christmas parade. The parade tradition still lives today thanks to the Kaimuki Business Professional Association and many volunteers. Today, she resides in Manoa...a charming college town neighborhood with graceful trees and historic homes. You can still find her wandering her old stomping grounds as well as in the eclectic Chinatown adjacent to Honolulu downtown, the developing town of Liliha, Ala Moana-Kakaako and of course Waikiki, as she looks for eateries and artistic finds!
Areas of Expertise
Ronda Ching Day receives word of mouth referrals from first-time buyers, luxury home clients and community leaders because of her dedication to each client. Ronda has helped find homeowners down payment assistance programs (grant monies and low interest loans).

Ronda's mortgage banking and brokering experience are particularly helpful in this "subprime" climate because she can help find niche financing products through her financing network. She has worked on loan modifications for clients.

Testimonials
•1. My wife and I lost our son through an auto accident, who was the owner of the property …. He was having financial problems and was in the middle of trying to do a short sale of his property with Ronda, who was assisting him at the time of his death. We met Ronda at the time we went to recover the body and bring him home back here to California, and she came by to meet us and share her condolences and express how sorry she was about our loss.
<!--StartFragment-->
Ronda, was working very hard to assist our son to get the best possible deal to help him get out from the debt the house had put him in while he was not able to work. He told my wife and I how lucky he was to have met the nicest realty lady who was helping him out. Ronda was a God send to us also, as she was supportive to us in her efforts to continue to sale the house and get best settlement we could.
I cannot express how grateful, and blessed we were by having Ronda at the helm handling the sale of our son’s house. It was very comforting to be able to have her continuing to proceed with trying to sell the property with all the added obstacles that now became apparent. We could sense her sincerity and Trusting her actions and judgment were never an issue.
With us being on the mainland, and not available to handle so many of the necessities that have to along with a sale, upkeep, maintenance, etc. she definitely went the extra mile for our family. Ronda’s patience matches her perseverance to reaching her desired goal and complete the deal.
It could have been a different situation with another realtor, who very easily and understandably so, who could have walked away from all the different tasks that are not a normal part of the process and wish us good luck.
There personal qualities and skills are not something you can teach someone, they are instilled in a person by their values and inner traits developed by the way they conduct and live their lives. Anyone who is fortunate enough to have Ronda working fo them, whether as an Agent or Employee, is truly lucky, and better off, for being able to do so.
Respectfully,

•2. I had worked with Ms. Day for almost a year before finally purchasing my current home. Knowing my purpose of working with a real estate agent was only to be familiar with the market, Ronda showed me many properties all over the island while teaching me about market trends, common preferences, prices, location differences, and information in other related areas. She really listened to my understanding and thoughts in regards to such investment and during the time we worked together, she never pushed me or intended to push me into purchasing. This made me very comfortable to continually work with her. During the educational process, I varied my decisions so many times but Ronda never complained or stopped working with me. In addition, her extensive knowledge on the financial side really helped my decision-making.
When I suddenly had a housing emergency this past February due to my job, she was on the road helping me again to search for homes. When we finally found my current home, I knew it was exactly what I wanted. Thanks to Ronda's education through the past year that I was able to make the right decision. As I have never had any experience of purchasing a home, she helped me to go through the transaction smoothly, while still educating me of what information and details are necessary to know and be aware. Most amazingly, she completed the entire transaction within two weeks of time! Before I walked into my new home the first time, she had cleaned my home already and decorated from top to the bottom! She also created for me a beautiful custom-made home decorating book for my future reference! I don't know what to say but appreciate the fact that I met her.
