We work with Steve for about 8 months looking for the perfect condo to purchase. He spent numerous hours/days helping us through the process. We eventually found what we had been looking to purchase. However, to make the process more difficult the island was under restricted travel because of Covid 19. Steve took video's and met with inspectors & contractors to help us through the difficulty of not being able to be on island. He was responsive, did everything he said he would at all times. We always knew he HAD OUR BEST INTEREST IN MIND! We cannot recommend him highly enough and if we could rate Steve TEN STARS, we would! You will not find a more professional, kind person with the highest level of integrity than Steve Latham to help you with a real estate transaction. Thank you Steve! Scott & Shari

The sale was of our condo was done in a professional and timely manner. Steve managed to negotiate an earlier closing date so we could make our move to a neighboring island ahead of closing.
Steve had previously sold other properties for us and we appreciated his knowledge of the market and the fact that he was also a good friend 2018
Steve has gone beyond being a realtor to us extremely knowledgeable and professional. Without any hesitation I would recommend Steve's expertise to family,friend or business associate. 2018
Donna Sharp, Princeville, a buyer from Princeville, HI
I met Steve Latham several years ago at an open house. He is low pressure which I loved, patient, knowledgable of the area, and all aspects of the purchasing process. I took my time to purchase my first home on Kauai and then decided a few years later to invest again in Princeville real estate. It was no question, I called Steve again and wouldn't have considered any other agent. I had some serious challenges during the escrow process of my second home, but Steve guided me through everything and helped me deal with a tough situation to get me the exact outcome I wanted.
He is always available, extremely flexible, and a true joy to work with. I highly recommend him and will certainly miss our constant communication now that my second property has closed! 2018

Thomas & Hope Saint Johns, Florida, a buyer from Princeville, HI
Steve has been our agent of choice for 5 years. We first purchased a house. He was one of those agents we ran into at an open house. He kept in touch with us for years and we finally purchased our first home in Hawaii. This was now our second successful purchase.
Steve made it go smooth.
Steve has been a great agent and will be our agent for years to come. 2017
David Tideman, Seattle, a seller from Princeville, HI
Steve was patient with us to get us the price we were after. 2017
Steve's the best! He quickly understood what our interests were and was helpful in matching these with what was available. He was thoughtful and methodical and was not full of BS at all. 2017
Fernando and Lucia Silva, California, a buyer from Koloa, HI
After meeting Steven Latham during a brief encounter at the local office, we knew he was a perfect fit for us. His gentle demeanor and non-aggressive approach was refreshing and he was informative with great knowledge of the local market. He couldn't have been more professional, punctual or thorough. His timely communications were over and above our expectations. We not only found a real estate agent but a good friend. 2017
We enjoyed working with Steve Latham. We also value Steve as a friend. Steve was prompt in returning our calls. Steve made sure that we understood what was going on during each step of buying our condo. Steve was open and forthright when answering our questions. My husband would use Steve again and would recommend Steve to family and friends. 2017
Rosario Garza, San Antonio, Texas, a buyer from Princeville, HI
Steve Latham was a wonderful broker to work with. Throughout the process, he kept us informed of what was going on. He never hesitated to give advice when we asked for it. I would strongly recommend Mr. Latham if you're interested in purchasing a property on the North Shore. 2016
Louise Leon Guerrero and Russell, a buyer from Princeville, HI
Steve was diligent in finding the right unit for us to purchase and followed up with us every step of the way to close of escrow.
Steve stayed close with us through an unexpected delay in the sale of our house creating a stressful situation in the purchase of our new condo all the way to the timely close of escrow on both houses.
We are appreciative of having Steve help us through this stressful situation in order for us to move to Kauai.

Michael Beavers, Mountain View, CA, a buyer from Princeville, HI
We met Steve when he was hosting an open house on one of his listings that happened to be next door to a vacation rental where we were staying. We loved his calm and honest approach to real estate, and that was further girded by his astute understanding of the legal aspects, mortgage process, inspections, contracts, local resources, and communication. That last point proved to be especially important. Steve has remarkable intelligence...and especially emotional intelligence so critical in price negotiations. Through all of this he calmly guided us through a challenging first home offer that fell through due to issues on the sellers' end, and helped us stick things out until we found another listing that was even better than the first. He and his mortgage broker helped us through prequal and a tricky escrow transfer between the two listings as though they were playing in an orchestra. We highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for homes on Kauai! 2016
Ken Cooper, Cardiff by the Sea, Calif, a seller from Princeville, HI
Steve Latham is a good representative for a sell for sure. In my years of dealing with realtors, I have developed a less than positive attitude toward them in general. In over 15 transactions I have had with realtors there have been only TWO that I can truly say positive things about......and Steve Latham is one of them!!
Steve is thoroughly professional, courteous and a good counselor as well. If I ever need the services of a realtor in Hawaii there is no doubt that I will require it to be Steve Latham. 2016
Steve Latham went above and beyond helping me buy my Kauai vacation home. He is knowledgeable about the area and really knows what he's talking about. I really appreciate that he was always available throughout the entire process from start to finish and was able to answer all of my questions almost immediately when I asked. I trust Steve with my home and would recommend him to anyone I know. He is certainly a one of a kind realtor. Thanks again Steve! 2016
Steve is excellent, I trusted him fully with the full handling of every aspect of my home purchase, and he came through as always. He was helpful and thorough throughout the entire process and I sincerely believe he had my best interests in mind, would highly recommend him to my friends. I'm super pleased with how my home sale was handled and so glad I had him on my side! 2016
Steve was one of the many agents we met 2 years ago when we were doing open house tours and he kept in touch with automated updates on current available properties ever few months.
Steve was extremely helpful in navigating the difficult seller and helping keep the documents and signoffs on time.
Very calm and laid back but still had the attention to detail needed for the sale and closing. 2016
Thom Widawski, Colorado, a seller from Princeville, HI
Steve Latham did a great job for us. I have know Steve for several years after meeting him on a showing for a home I had interest in buying. Steve was interested in helping us sell our home when it came time. Steve stayed in touch over the years and when we decided to sell, we contacted him. I am a Commercial Real Estate Broker in Colorado, so I understand the importance of communication and honesty. Steve was excellent on both accounts. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking to buy or sell in Kauai, you won't be disappointed. 2016
Jack and Diane Turner, Aptos, California, a seller from Princeville, HI
One would be hard pressed to find anyone more capable, trustworthy, and accommodating than Steve Latham. It is difficult enough to sell property for an owner who lives an ocean away, yet Steve always gave us the feeling he was right there, facilitating every step of the process with utmost care and ability. He was approachable and reachable throughout the listing and sale processes, and we are extremely grateful.
Steve was forever going a step beyond what was expected. He has a delightful sense of humor and a keen, perceptive eye for real estate in this region and in general.
We give Steve Latham the highest recommendation.

Mark & Kimberly Alfano, Ventura, CA , a buyer from Princeville, HI
Steve Latham made the home purchase process efficient, clear, and transparent. He was extremely accessible and responsive, responding typically within a half-hour and showed an excellent knowledge of the local real estate market and the specific issues of which we should be aware as first-time vacation rental owners. His professional but low-key, low pressure style was welcome and helped make the purchase less stressful. He has continued to make himself available even following the sale and we view him as a valued ally. 2015
We met Steve Latham at a Open house and had talked to a couple of other realtors prior to meeting him. However his open no pressure personality was appealing to us. We talked for about 30 minutes and told him our issues and needs and he was helpful answering our questions and seemed knowledgeable, however if he didn't know an answer he was open and honest about it. His honestly was a major factor in us feeling comfortable signing him up.
He was patient with us....buying the unit we purchased was complicated as we also needed to sell the unit we already owned. Steve is trustworthy and professional and always accessible.
We sincerely recommend Steve Latham without hesitation! 2015
Dave and Lisa Vitorelo, a buyer from Princeville, HI
We met Steve two years ago when he held an open house next door to our own condo. We couldn't help but notice how dedicated he was and the amount of time he put into his listings. Compared to other agent listings in our complex, Steve was by far the most dedicated and is how he got our attention.
Over time, we got to know Steve by visiting him whenever we were on island and saw he had an open house within our complex. We would check in with him to see what was on the market and how the market was doing.
Steve is easy to approach and eager to share what he knows about properties on the market that may be of interest and within your specified price range.
On our most recent visit to the island, we took a tour with Steve to properties that were within our price range. He was careful to stick within the range we specified.
When we decided to make an offer on our most recent purchase, Steve helped make the entire process seem easy and has a great networking relationship with other professionals who helped us along the way.
