I value her advice and input. She protects me from making poor decisions and helps lead me to better choices. She and her support staff are on top of the paperwork, making sure all the "I"s are dotted and "T"s are crossed. I highly recommend Shannon!!

I chose her because of her already exceptional reputation. I found her to be very knowledgeable and truly caring for me as a client and a person. Shannon always answered the phone or got back to me in a timely manner. I also noticed that she has good relationships with her peers and colleagues. I feel like she is so good at what she does because of her honesty and aloha, I also like that fact that Shannon has been a champion for the LGBTQ community! I will definitely use her again and recommend her to my friends and family. 5/5 big stars!

Shannon Smith is truly a phenomenal real estate agent. She guided us painlessly through the process. We will use her again in a heartbeat.What most buyers or sellers don't realize is that your agent can make or break your deal. Oahu is a small place; most realtors know each other and judge a seller or buyer by the agent representing them.In our case, Shannon was a key reason we were able to score a major deal when our property had been listed on the market only for 3 days. The listing agent mentioned in her email that that the big reason she suggests the buyer to present with a full price in a timely manner not only because the renovations but also Shannon’s reputation. In addition, Shannon was honest, real and uber picky. She provided us her professional advices that greatly contributed to this quick sale. One of her advices we could not understand in the first place but later we found out she was absolutely right. Now we believe in her professionalism 100%. All in all, Shannon has a lot of integrity, and was always responsive and diligent. I wouldn't recommend anyone else to my friends but Shannon. She is the best of the best.

Shannon has been my Realtor since I purchased my first property in 2011. Twelve years later and 4 other transactions after, she still is as hard-working and professional as ever! Shannon is one of those realtors you want to represent your side. She always looks out for her clients’ best interests. She’s fair and professional, honest and trustworthy. She and her team work diligently to make sure their transactions close quickly and with the least amount of hiccups possible. Even when the transactions are closed and recorded, I can still count on Shannon to be available to recommend a reliable contractor or answer a random homeowner's question. Home purchases/sales are a scary and expensive process. I feel so fortunate to have had Shannon hand-holding me through every step of my real estate ventures.

I was even able to purchase two condos with her as my agent. She was excellent! Shannon's knowledge and connection to the community are invaluable. She is very transparent and a great communicator. She works tirelessly for her clients day and night and most definitely has my business for life.

She was great with communication and provided excellent service. No nonsense and told it like it should be told. We will be using Shannon when we invest again in Hawaii very soon. We have already referred her to several potential real estate investors. Thank you!

We have completed dozens of transactions in multiple states both residential and agricultural. I believe that qualifies us to leave an opinion about our experience with Shannon Smith and our property in Honolulu, Hawaii. Shannon Smith is one of the top two trusted agents we have worked with over the years. She handled both the purchase of our property in Honolulu and its subsequent sale over a period of seven years. She helped us determine which type of property and location met our needs after showing us property all around Oahu. She was there for us during the negotiation and subsequent close. In addition, she was immensely helpful during the remodel we did on the property we purchased as we were residing out of state at the time. The result was a stunning home in Waikiki, with a gorgeous view of Diamond Head, which we our family and friends thoroughly enjoyed for years. Due to my wife’s health issues, we had to make the difficult decision to sell our home and Shannon Smith was there for us once more. She even helped with relocating our personal property to our new home in Florida. No small feat! Professional, available, competent, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and thorough all describe our interaction with Shannon. We would use her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without reservation.

Shannon is a kind, understanding, caring, attentive and knowledgeable realtor. She looks out for her clients like you’re her family. She knows Hawaii real estate. I’m so happy that I have met her and she is my realtor & now friend. She has what they call here in Hawaii the “Aloha Spirit”.
