Good past performance is critical.
Highly recommended. I have used Christina Nishiyama in prior transactions and I am so happy that she is consistently productive in the results. She is a gem. Very valuable to her company as well as mine.

Christina made sure that we understood every step of the process, even the more complex ones. As first-time homebuyers we had many questions and Christina was always available to answer them whether by phone, text, or email. She went above and beyond to provide us what felt like a training on the home-buying process and made sure that we weren't just homebuyers but well-informed homebuyers.
In this volatile market we would see houses go up for sale one day and then be in escrow the next. When we found the home we loved, Christina was in consistent and constant communication with us, educating us on what an attractive offer would look like. We didn't even know there were strategic items, such as the appraisal clause, that we could use to our benefit. She didn't push us or talk down our initial idea but instead informed us of what that could translate to for the buyer. She allowed us the ability to make an informed decision and gave us her honest and experience-backed feedback.
Low and behold, because we listened to her feedback and advice, we were
able to get our offer accepted and close on our first home without breaking our bank.
Christina has become like a part of our family and even our kids ask about her. Her charismatic, energetic and loveable personality is infectious and makes the ups and downs that much better. Even when we became discouraged that our offer wasn't accepted for the first home we submitted one for, she assured us that she was going to help us throughout the process no matter how long it took.
She wasn't looking out for her commission. She was looking out for the best interests of my family. We are honored and blessed to have been able to work with Christina and will continue to refer her to all of our friends, families, and colleagues. We know we will use her when looking for our next home as well. She's the best!

We choose Engel & Volkers to sell our Hawaii home because of the fantastic reputation of Christina Nishiyama. She was incredibly helpful and patient, and quickly sold our home. We would gladly do business with any company with which she is associated. She feels like family and truly cares about her clients.
We really enjoyed working with Christina! She always went above and beyond the call. Her level of knowledge on all aspects of the process couldn't be beat.
Her patience couldn't be surpassed. No matter how many questions we had she was always there to help address them and put us at ease before proceeding forward.
She always made us feel like friends not just her clients. Not only is she extremely personable we always felt like she really cared about us and was there to help protect our interests.
We couldn't have imagined working with anyone else! We would highly recommend Christina Nishiyama!!!
Christina Nishiyama was the reason we are able to have the home of our dreams! She was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process, but more importantly she made buying a home more than just a business transaction. Christina cared about us and all of our needs and made sure we were okay before taking the next step in the process. Her network of wonderful contacts helped us through the inspections with no stress. They all seem to have worked with her a lot, which helped calm our uncertainties. If you are looking for a real estate agent that looks out for you more than just as a client, Christina Nishiyama is that person!

Jolenta Stephens, Kailua-Kona , a seller from Honolulu, HI
She went over & above excellent service. I feel she is the best as they come. We couldnt have gotten a better person to handle the sale of my home.
Jessica Hoyt, who works with Christina, "held my hand", though I am in Florida, and was patient with me as I got up to speed on the market. I decided to stay with Engel & Volkers because of Jessica. Christina was truly excellent and professional when she came in to assist Jessica when a deal became more feasible.
Christina made the buying process for us as simple as possible. She took care of everything and was so understanding of our needs. She made sure we were comfortable with every aspect and worked so hard to get us our dream home!
Christina helped my husband and I purchase our town house about 3 years ago. When it came time to buy our forever home, there was no question who we were going to work with. She is incredibly knowledgeable and diligent about her clients understanding the home buying process. She took us on multiple showings to compare each of the houses and what we liked or disliked in order to narrow down our specific dream home. Her understanding of the pros and cons within each home that we visited before we found our forever home was immensely appreciated and invaluable. She is timely in all her responses and paperwork, which helped the entire process to go smoothly. No matter what time of the day, Christina returned all my call, texts, and emails with every question answered. Her knowledge and patience was incredibly reassuring during a big life decision for my husband and I. We recommend her to all my family and friends who are looking to purchase their first home.
Cheryl & Jeoffrey Cudiamat, Aiea, Hawaii, a buyer from Aiea, HI
Christina was wonderful from beginning to end! We didn't worry one bit about our transaction since we knew she was on top of all of the paperwork and timelines. She even was excellent with communicating with all of the parties involved, such as our banker and the other parties who had to supply important reports for us. We highly recommend her and Engel & Volkers for your next purchase. Mahalo!
Christina Nishiyama was referred to us by another sales representative of the brokerage firm. Initially, when we wanted to make an offer for Apt #912, the salesperson referred us to Christina as the individual that will be servicing us in our quest to purchase Apt #912
Christina Nishiyama from my experience in dealing her is just an outstanding and talented individual and is definitely an asset to any business organization. She anticipated problems before they became an issue. Christina worked tirelessly and even worked on the weekend just to ensure that all documentation and processes were accomplished in a timely manner.
Christina is just a terrific individual and capable.
Christina is a knowledgeable, caring and just a wonderful person, Engel & Volkers is fortunate to have such an intelligent and capable individual working for the firm. I would and have recommended her service to others without any hesitation and reservation.
Brandon Nishiguchi, Honolulu, a seller from Honolulu, HI
Christina Nishiyama is the best! She helped us strategize, price our property perfectly, and make it the most desirable with beautiful staging ideas and professional photos.
She got us into escrow after the first open house and was able to get us more than our asking price! All this during a time when other properties in our complex still haven't sold for months. She provides a great balance of attention, information, communication, and trust. We wouldn't use anyone else and recommend her to everyone we know!
Ursula Ishikawa, kailua, a buyer from Honolulu, HI
Christina was always on the ball. We appreciated her expertise so much, that we recommended her to our grandson, who is moving back to Hawaii from Los Angeles.
Christina helped him to purchase a nice place in Hawaii. When asked, he said:
Christina is awesome!
Christina is the best. She knows the island and real estate. Would never use anyone else.

Justin and Hannah Salgado- Hawaii Kai , a seller from Honolulu, HI
Thank you Christina for making the entire process of sailing our home and moving as smooth and effortless as possible! You answered every question I had and calmed every fear- giving me the confidence in each step of the process. It was an honor working with you and you will be the first one we call when we come back to the islands to buy.
