A Lifesaver for Our Inherited Family Home in Pearl City When my sister and I inherited our family home in Pearl City, I immediately thought of Corinda Wong. I had worked with her years ago when I bought my place in Honolulu, and I knew she was exactly who we needed for this complicated situation. Right from the start, I had so many questions: How do I sell a house that's in a trust in Hawaii? Do we have to go through probate before selling? My sister lives in Japan, and I wondered - can a trustee sell a house without all beneficiaries present in Hawaii? Corinda patiently walked us through everything. The biggest stress was that our family home had a reverse mortgage on it, and I had no idea what we needed to do. Corinda contacted the reverse mortgage company directly and handled all those details, so we didn't have to navigate that confusing process ourselves. She also knew exactly what documents we'd need to sell a house from a trust in Hawaii, which saved us so much time. The house was filled with decades of personal items and was pretty outdated. We weren't sure if we should sell it "as-is" or fix things up. Corinda gave us three options with real numbers: sell as-is, do minor touch-ups, or do a full remodel. She helped us understand how much the house was really worth in its current condition versus what it could be worth. Based on her analysis, we invested about $70K in a full remodel, and it increased the value by roughly $200K - the numbers made total sense! From beginning to end, Corinda and her team at Team Wong Hawaii handled EVERYTHING. She coordinated all the contractors, yard service, cleaners, and every other vendor we needed. Since my sister couldn't be here from Japan and I have a very busy schedule, this was absolutely critical. They communicated with my sister through emails and video calls and arranged for all documents to be handled digitally with e-signatures. We also wondered - do we need to clean it out before selling, and will we owe capital gains tax when we sell? Corinda guided us through all of it, connecting us with the right people for tax questions and organizing the entire cleanout process. The whole process took about 4 months, including the remodel, which felt incredibly fast given everything involved. When we finally listed the home, we had multiple offers within days of going on the market! I truly enjoyed working with Corinda Wong and her entire team at Team Wong Hawaii. I would absolutely consider Corinda a Trust & Inherited Property Specialist and an exceptional overall Real Estate Advisor. If you're dealing with an inherited property, especially one in a trust or with a reverse mortgage, she's the person you want in your corner.
What a relief for my wife and I being first home buyers to be able to work with such wonderful professionals at Team Wong Hawaii! Michelle Love, Michael Wong, and Corinda Wong really went above and beyond our expectations to make sure that each step of the buying process was clearly explained, well managed, and throughly serviced from start to finish. They were best realtors to work by far! After being caught in a situation that left us needing to find a home that would fit our growing family with not much time to do it, my wife and I were really looking for someone who could take our preferences and needs, and help us in a way that would be the least stressful, and make it easy for us to understand what everything meant. Finding Team Wong Hawaii was a God send. Not once did we feel as though things were being overlooked, or our concerns weren't being addressed. Team Wong Hawaii really took our expectations and exceeded them by being the kind of representation for us that left us feeling as though they were not just on our side, but always looking our for our best interests and negotiating accordingly to find exactly what we needed for what we could afford. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who I know personally or professionally because my honest opinion is that they have, and always will treat their clients with the respect and representation that they deserve. My wife and I could not be happier with the home we now call our own, and none of it would have been possible without the help and service of Team Wong Hawaii.
Corinda Wong and Team Wong are simply the best. My sister needed to sell her home as quickly as possible, and Corinda and her Team stepped up to the task. They helped us immensely to prepare the home to help it sell. We got a great offer the day after Open House, and it was sold within a week. Everything went smoothly with the transaction. I would highly recommend Corinda Wong and her team to sell or buy real estate, they are friendly, knowledgeable and will help make the whole process of buying or selling a lot easier. Thank you Corinda and Team Wong.
We met Corinda Wong by chance over 30 years ago when my husband and I purchased and built our dream home right next to Corinda and her family. Corinda and I have both been thru raising two kids, several dogs and now grandchildren together and my husband and I consider them part of our family. Corinda has helped us navigate the volatile real estate market both here in Hawaii and on the mainland. Her dedication in helping her friends and clients are what set her apart as one of the best realtors in the state! Purchasing a home in Hawaii has become a slight challenge for younger homebuyers, but with the help of Corinda and Team Wong, my younger son was able to purchase a great 3 bedroom 2.5 bath townhouse close to home. It was a full circle moment for all as Michelle and my son grew up together. Receiving great training from Corinda, Michelle asked the right questions and was able to uncover a VA assumable mortgage on the property that secured the deal! My son, his fiancé and their two dogs love the place! Just recently, my older son and his family moved back home to Hawaii. He had several conversations with Aunty Corinda seeking her advice on the advantages of selling or renting his property in Oregon. Although Corinda had no financial stake in the decision, she happily helped him consider all of his options before he made a decision. Corinda’s loyalty and dedication to her family, friends and clients truly define the kind of person she is. Any time anyone asks me anything about real estate, my reply is always, “you can trust Corinda and Team Wong!”
Ciena Alagao & Team Wong Hawai'i are the best realtors on O'ahu! As a first time homebuyer, Ciena helped me navigate my first home purchase as smoothly as possible. She made sure we understood our options so that we could always make informed decisions. She empowered us to do what's best for us and always kept us updated. Working with Ciena also came with the support of the team. Everyone worked together to make sure we were always taken care of and on top of things. I highly recommend working with Ciena and Team Wong if you're looking for innovative and knowledgeable realtors in Hawai'i. I will certainly work with them again for buying or selling a home!
