I work in the industry and worked with Bobbin many times for mutual clients. I trusted him to help me and my wife sell our Kapolei home. I'm happy I did, because the process was extremely stress free and from start to finish Bobbin kept us in the loop to make sure we were in the know about what was happening. It was so easy! Awesome real estate agent and I can't recommend him enough.

We cannot thank Bobbin enough for his assistance in selling our home. He is talented and really knows the ins and out of the home buying, selling, and even property management (renting). He was able to get things done that our property manager couldn’t. When we decided to sell we picked him to handle all our affairs. The process was seamless and he made it look and feel effortless. We aren’t local and sold our Hawaii home from the mainland. He kept us in the loop every step of the way and even did a weekly check in call to make sure we were up-to date on what step of the process we were in even though we were in constant contact via email and text throughout the week. His diligence and attention to detail is remarkable. He handles everything meticulously. We even ended up closing early!!! I could not recommend or gloat about Bobbin more! Mahalo Bobbin for everything!!!

I've been in the market for a couple of years now, and even during that time whenever I had any questions about buying a house, Bobbin was always there to answer them for us. From the beginning of the buying process, Bobbin explained to us very clearly what to expect over the next 30 days. His knowledge of the market, the loan process, inspections needed, and negotiation made our buying experience amazing! Bobbin always had our best interest in mind, and went beyond our expectations. He really made us feel like part of his family. If you're ever in the market for a home, I would absolutely recommend Bobbin.

Mr. Bobbin Tabalno is the ultimate realtor whether you are selling or buying a home. In my case, he has done both! When I left Honolulu a few years ago, I thought I'd be moving to Washington State forever and Bobbin was there to help me prepare my condo in town for sale -- from the walk-through, his suggestions for minor improvements were spot on. The condo sold in a very short period of time! Now, almost 3 years later, I realized I really would be happier living back in Hawaii where I spent 30 years together with my now deceased husband. Of course, I reached out to Bobbin to help me find my forever home, and he did! The walk-through of the few places we narrowed down through virtual comms (on video chats with me) was successful immediately! He took care of connecting me with the right lender and escrow company ... and all the paperwork that is entailed in purchasing a home. His personal touch is what makes Bobbin a tremendous realtor.

Bobbin was our realtor when we bought our first home, and he was our realtor when we sold it several years later after deciding to leave Hawaii. He was the definition of professional in every step of the process. He knows the laws, has the relationships on the island, and understands the market. I would highly recommend Bobbin to anyone looking for a realtor in Hawaii.

Bobbin was amazing he worked around me and my wife�s schedule as we were coming to the island. He made sure he kept constant contact from his initial welcome until we closed. He was ver thorough when explaining most of the buying lingo. He also took the time to recommend eating spots as well as different services for the house like a carpet cleaner and hone inspector. Bobbin has went above and beyond with helping us purchase our first home. He genuinely cares about the people he services.

There aren't enough positive words in the dictionary to express my gratitude for Bobbin's amazing professionalism! My best friend referred me to him and said "he walks on water and basically is a miracle worker!" ...I obviously had my doubts. But, Bobbin helped me with my VERY first home purchase!! I looked at ONE home, fell in love and within 30 days, closed on my very first home...all with Bobbin's help. He is very thoughrogh at explaining all the things home seekers and owners should look for as well as what others don't tell you. It was information overload for me, but he was always patient and explained so I could understand it all. I'm one happy, grateful and satisfied customer!!

Bobbin helped us buy a house and sell a townhouse back to back without any hitch. He is very professional and thorough, and his experience and knowledge in real estate is solid. I would engage his services again if I ever need a realtor in the future.

We first met Bobbin Tabalno during a showing of a condominium apartment. He made suggestions over the long period of months and we viewed each option via their listing portal. He encouraged us to get our finances in order and we met with a banker to discuss our financial status and secured approvals. This allowed us to determine out upper limit for making offers with some guidance from Bobbin on several homes. The bidding process with more buyers than sellers is a difficult brick wall to surmount. We believe that Bobbin's guidance was important for our final and successful acquisition of our current home. Bobbin's guidance in navigating through the escrow process to closing was very supportive. There were no surprises and the process proceeded smoothly. Bobbin's advance for getting our finances in order and obtaining bank mortgage approvals shortened the process of loan underwriting and escrow very significantly to under 30 days. We were very appreciative of Bobbin's abilities as a communicator and level of professionalism at guiding the successful purchase of a home residence.

I have been very satisfied for the over the top real estate services provided by Bobbin. I have never had such a considerate real estate agent, he was humble, very intelligent, and excellent in his craft. Anytime i had a question or needed assistance he responded immediately.

Bobbin was very helpful with our very first home purchase. Although this was a very unique process and challenging at times for everyone, Bobbin remained professional and communicated very well with all the updates. Bobbin treated our family very well and went beyond what was expected of him to help. We will forever appreciate the extra support he gave us in buying our first home. THANK YOU BOBBIN.

I highly recommend Bobbin Tabalno for your real estate sale or if you are looking to buy a home. From the very start Bobbin was very professional and attentive. He kept us informed at all times on the process of selling the property. Bobbin went over and beyond as a real estate Agent. He recommended things that needed to be done before the sale and took matters into his own hands and worked with our family prior to the final sale of the home. What impressed me most about Bobbin was his integrity, and honesty. Mahalo Bobbin for your dedication and working with us. I appreciate your time and effort with this sale. Mahalo Nui Loa!

I have know Bobbin for at least two years now, I met him at an open house and the moment I met him he won me over. He helped me purchase my first home and when it came time for me to sell i immediately picked him again. Bobbin is phenomenal and provides excellent service. If you have the chance I definitely would recommend you choosing him.

We bought a house with Bobbin's help a few years ago, and we were very pleased with the results. So it was only natural that he help us sell when we needed to PCS again to another state, and we weren't disappointed. We know he had other clients, but we always felt like his only and best customer by the prompt responses to questions. We had very little to figure out and do as Bobbin guided us through every step of the process, keeping us posted at every milestone, and helping us to close escrow early. His ethical and professional behavior made us comfortable in knowing we made a good choice in real estate professionals.

My husband and I recently left Hawaii and Bobbin helped us sell our house. He expertly came in, gave great advice to help us get a good price, and coordinated with the buyer's agent and escrow company, so we had very little we needed to do. Bobbin jumped through hoops to produce good looking promotional items, hold open houses, and make sure the other realtors knew about our house. We had to leave the island early, and Bobbin made sure the house was well maintained in our absence. His service and attention to detail goes above and beyond. We are very thankful to have found Bobbin and his team to sell our house

Bobbin and his team were consummate professionals. Every time an issue came up, he was there with SOLUTIONS. I didn't hear him say "can't" once. Every request I made of him, it was done expeditiously and correctly the first time. He is friendly, hard-working, and patient; navigating me through the home-buying process with remarkable ease and professionalism. The two times I've worked with him, the process has been painless and rewarding. When I need a realtor, or anything homeowner related, he is my guy.
