My husband and I began searching homes on Zillow before we were married and after a year and half of looking had narrowed down our ideal spot. We decided to start doing open houses and requested a showing off Zillow. We were contacted by Jason Carey and immediately recognized his professionalism and attention to detail. He had asked over the phone what we were looking for and had questions for the listing agent we hadn't even thought of. We were first time homebuyers looking for our dream home rather than a first home. Our list of requirements was long and with few items we were willing to for go. We looked at the inventory in our desired location and price point and decided to hold off. Some homes had potential but nothing had that "feeling". Jason didn't give up on us though. He stayed in contact, updating us on new inventory and changes in the market. He even managed to get us a showi…

He had asked over the phone what we were looking for and had questions for the listing agent we hadn't even thought of. We were first time homebuyers looking for our dream home rather than a first home. Our list of requirements was long and with few items we were willing to for go. We looked at the inventory in our desired location and price point and decided to hold off. Some homes had potential but nothing had that "feeling". Jason didn't give up on us though. He stayed in contact, updating us on new inventory and changes in the market. He even managed to get us a showing on a house that had been impossible to get into, because he had previously worked with the selling agent a few times. Again our expectations were exceeded as he was able to put the sellers reservations at ease and secure us a private showing. This home ultimately became ours. Through the whole process Jason guided us always explaining each step, staying in close contact, working crazy hours or driving all the way across island to meet our crazy schedules and never once seeming unconvinced. Jason's staff at Elite Properties made our whole transaction seem less and easy. Jason will forever be our realtor in the islands and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I met Jason by chance at and open house he was marketing a property in a neighborhood that interested me. The property he had listed didn't fit my requirements, but I realized that Jason was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and that he had the perfect level of motivation to work with me. He wasn’t so aggressive to indicate he needed business (as it turns out, he is extremely busy working with a diverse client base with different needs) but did do everything he told me he was going to do, in a timely fashion. As a principal with an extensive real estate background (on the Mainland), I was not interested in committing myself to one agent to represent me, but I realized that Jason had knowledge of the area that I would have no way of possessing unless I was part of the local brokerage community.

I met Jason by chance at and open house he was marketing a property in a neighborhood that interested me. The property he had listed didn't fit my requirements, but I realized that Jason was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and that he had the perfect level of motivation to work with me. He wasn’t so aggressive to indicate he needed business (as it turns out, he is extremely busy working with a diverse client base with different needs) but did do everything he told me he was going to do, in a timely fashion. As a principal with an extensive real estate background (on the Mainland), I was not interested in committing myself to one agent to represent me, but I realized that Jason had knowledge of the area that I would have no way of possessing unless I was part of the local brokerage community. During the few days I was visiting Oahu to purchase a home, I wanted to gain an independent understanding of the area in which I wanted to buy. I met many agents as I viewed every available house. Initially, none of the properties were the right fit, but interestingly none of the agents I met followed up with me other than to see if I wanted to write an offer on their listing. However, over the following months after meeting Jason, he consistently sent me new property updates, told me about changes occurring in the area and we continued to have many conversations regarding my real estate requirements. He always listened to my feedback, and based on our conversations we fine-tuned our focused on a specific area and certain properties. He returned calls, texts, and emails in a very timely fashion. Ultimately, we strategized on the best way to approach writing an offer on a property that was a great fit for me. The process of writing the offer, executing the offer, counter offers, etc. went extremely smooth because of Jason’s great brokerage skills and communication. After finally gaining acceptance after multiple counter offers, Jason had a support team who made managing the inspections, escrow, etc. extremely easy. I was kept up to date on all developments and there were no surprises during the transaction whatsoever. Closing the transaction was a very enjoyable experience. In summary, Jason is an experienced agent who works extremely hard on your behalf. His communication is excellent he only contacted me when there was pertinent market information that I needed to know. His ability to write offers, communicate the details of the offer, negotiate and strategize during the offer or counter offer process was excellent. And the escrow and closing process was a dream. Jason he still contacts me to insure that I am happy with the house and to see if there is anything additional he can do for me. I highly recommend Jason.

Ron H.

My wife and I worked with Jason Carey to find the perfect home in Haleiwa, HI. We had worked with a few realtors in mainland before moving to HI a few years ago and expected it to painful, time consuming, and expected a lot of dead air in communication. None of that happened! Jason was incredibly responsive, made great recommendations every step of the way, and we were under contract within two weeks of our first showing, and settled a month later! We couldn't have asked for a smoother process! We felt like his only and most important client the whole time, though we're sure he's super busy. We highly recommend Jason, and would definitely go straight back to him if we ever need to buy or sell.

Colleen S.

We chose Jason to represent us in selling our first home. His knowledge and expertise helped make the process one of ease. He is not only extremely responsive but also puts his heart into what he does. Our experience with him was by far the best out of anyone we had considered or worked with previously. Not only did he help us sell our first home and get asking price, he has also helped us through the process of buying a new home. Representing us with new builders and navigating through all that it entails. There is no doubt in my mind that I will recommend Jason to friends and family. He is sharp, friendly, honest, hard working, and always has a genuine smile on his face.

Jeff T.

The main reason we chose Jason was his promptness in his responses. Right from the initial contact, he was very prompt and kept us in the loop with development of our process. We had many, difficult non-negotiables and this mix was difficult to locate but he was patient with us throughout. We hit some road bumps along the way (not at all his fault!) and our first deal fell through. We were discouraged but he stayed with us and was an integral part of making sure the final deal ran smoothly and closed at lightning speed. Super recommend this guy! Thanks again Jason!

Farnaz N.

Jason is a great honest realtor. He took my wishing list serious and let me know promptly when one listing was available. He gave me a feeling that he was literally looking for a unit for himself or a family member. He was diligent, efficient, prompt and happy to answer any questions I had. He always communicated every detailed findings and updated me on a daily basis (if not hourly). I trust him again to ask him for my next home buying adventure. Thank you so much, Jason!

Tony S.

Jason, hands down, is one of the most dedicated Real Estate professionals I have ever dealt with. His attention to the details, listening and advocation for us, made this sale seem easy. Jason makes himself available for his clients at all times and really focuses on what we wanted to do. The research and work he puts in before truly shows in the results and most importantly, the experience. It's nice to know, I don't have to go anywhere else for my real estate needs!

Jacinda S.

We are so grateful to have found Jason Carey to represent us in selling our home. Jason was kind, knowledgeable, and listened to our requests. He was able to effectively communicate and bridged the gap between buyer and seller. Jason remained motivated and energetic throughout the entire experience, working hard to sell our home. It was a pleasure having Jason as our agent, he is a true professional and excellent choice to represent anyone buying or selling a home.

Lisa D.

We contacted Jason to rent a property for the summer last year. He was so responsive to our request throughout the entire process. While renting in Dana Point, we decided to either buy a lot to build or purchase an existing home. Within one week we signed a purchase agreement on a model home and closed within two weeks. Jason continues to support our purchase by working with the builder on a weekly basis to ensure all items are are the highest standard.

Baker

Direct. Competent. Adaptive. Helpful. Jason was very helpful in the process of purchasing the house. I had located the house initially and then went to Jason to put in a second offer (one had already been accepted previously). With his help and expertise we were able to proceed through escrow relatively smoothly and any bumps that came up smoothed out both with the selling agent and the lending institution.

John B.

Jason has been helping me find a property on Oahu. During this process he has been excellent in all ways. I found a great lender who was easy to work with through Jason, we've looked at several properties, and his attention to detail is second to none. If you're looking for a home or property on Oahu, then I recommend calling Jason. He'll do whatever it takes to make it happen for his clients.

Perla

Jason went above and beyond. I highly recommend him. There was not one text or voice mail he didn't answer within 5 minutes. He was patient and he always answered my questions in a way I could fully understand. He was flexible with my crazy schedule always very accommodating. I will forever thank him for helping me and doing an amazing job. Thank you Jason!

C. Wong

I've worked with other realtors for different transactions and realize the benefits of working with an agent that knows his market. You ultimately get a good selling price. His network and support staff at Elite Pacific made my transaction quick in the utmost professional manner. I highly recommend his service if you don't already have one.

Todd M.

I have done many real estate transactions over the years with several different agents. Jason was the best one I ever had. He is thorough and always follows through. His team is very professional and a pleasure to work with. He truly loves his work and will deliver as promised.

Vas P.

Jason was an absolute pleasure to work with and a real professional. His attention to detail and willingness to do whatever it takes sets him apart from other agents. I would recommend Jason and use him again for any future transactions.

Travis R.

I’d recommend Jason Carey to anyone looking for a new home. He helped us every step of the process and was in continuous communication with us and found answers for any questions we had.

C. Norten

Jason was extremely helpful. We ended up purchasing one of the homes that Jason showed us. My wife and I are now very happy living in our new home in Oahu.

Ed & Fran

I would like to share our experience in working with Ben Puccetti as our Hawaiian - Oahu - realtor. We are Canadian and purchased a Waikiki condo . Ben was extremely knowledgeable about the market and from the start to finish of this transaction he had excellent communication and was prompt with all calls - he had an escrow team to help with all the timelines and a great notary that we used. Most importantly to us Ben was so very professional, so very friendly and integral - he met us several times in Hawaii and we would definitely use Ben for any further transactions in the future. We would highly recommend him for your real estate needs.

Galit

Ben is an amazing person to work with! He is the most honest guy, working with full transparency and integrity, always does what he said he'll do, and is a real professional. We were so lucky to work with Ben selling our apartment, and he exceeded all our expectation delivering quick, and excellent results. Thank you Ben, we are grateful!

Jenny

Ben was an an absolute delight to work with. He was ALWAYS on top of things, whether it was any tiny question we had to looking for new houses every weekend. When there were issues, he did everything he could to get the outcome we wanted. He honestly just blew me away with how amazing he was in our home buying process. I would recommend going with Ben Puccetti to anyone looking for a home in hawaii! Thank you Ben!!!

David

Ben represented us as buyers, in a recent sale, as the Pandemic started. He is one of those rare people who actually cares about you - through the entire process no matter how bumpy and even uncharted. He was the calming voice and guiding light throughout. Recommended many financing sources and other great contacts. We have bought and sold several properties over the years, Ben is the first realtor I would call a friend. He is a hard working yet gentle in his bridging the gaps that arise in a sale...thanks Ben!!!

Natsuyo

Ben is proactive. His advice and assistance are spot on, and he helped us navigate thru a rather complex relocation process with ease. His warm personality and communication style immediately gained our trust. He treated us like his own family, and went extra miles in searching for a boarding service for our dog when we did not know where to start. We are certain Ben will always try his best to meet and exceed his clients’ real estate/relo needs.

Heather G.

Jocko is absolutely amazing! An exceptional realtor. I had been looking to buy on and off for awhile and he was very patient with me through the entire process. Never once did I feel rushed or pressured. Jocko was able to find me what I wanted and guided me through the process with grace and ease. Jocko is a genuinely kind person, with an extreme amount of knowledge and skill in the industry. Trust that you're in good hands.

Samantha & Sean L.

From the first aloha to handing over the keys to our first home, my husband and I knew we were in good hands with Jocko. Both personal and professional, Jocko's passion for real estate and attention to detail ensured we were informed throughout the entire process, as we navigated the journey that is first home ownership. We felt taken under his wing, whilst also provided the space for autonomy in our decisions. We believe Jocko's relational skills when working with other listing agents was a key factor in getting us over the line! Jocko kept us informed of the latest market conditions, effective strategies to strengthen our offers, and above all, was dedicated to going the extra mile to ensure we found our dream home...and we did.

Jane M.

Jocko is the best! He helped us buy an amazing home in a heated seller’s market and was detailed oriented from start to finish. Always available to answer questions or even just talk story about the market, if you want to buy (or sell) your dream home he is your guy!

Dell & Langley C.

Jocko went above and beyond to help us find our home! We were moving from out-of-state and ended up purchasing our home site unseen with no regrets thanks to Jocko! He did an INCREDIBLE job sending detailed videos and photos of several listings so that it truly felt like we were there searching in person. He's knowledgeable about all of the areas and was able to find the perfect match for what we were looking for! After our offer was accepted, the fun didn’t stop there! He made the experience stress-free and everything seemed to run so smoothly on our end. We really felt taken care of and knew we were in good hands! Jocko is such an awesome genuine realtor and now, a friend! Needless to say, if we ever decide to list our home, we will definitely be working with Jocko for the selling and buying process! Thanks for everything, Jocko!! :)

Gabriel & Je T’aime O.

As first time homebuyers we were super nervous about buying a home on Oahu given everything that we had heard about the competitive market. When we met Jocko through some friends he was friendly and knowledgable but also confident that he would be able to get us into a great home within our budget. From the beginning he educated us about the process, worked with us to develop a realistic wish list and made sure that we didn't miss any home that might meet our needs. After a couple of weeks there was one place that really jumped out at us and we told him we would swing by the open house on our own. I had heard from friends that agents usually send their clients to open houses but when we told him we would go Jocko said he wanted to join us which we thought was cool. He showed up before us and had clearly built some rapport with the seller's agent by the time we arrived. Once we took a loo…

I had heard from friends that agents usually send their clients to open houses but when we told him we would go Jocko said he wanted to join us which we thought was cool. He showed up before us and had clearly built some rapport with the seller's agent by the time we arrived. Once we took a look around he introduced us to the seller's agent as well and we had a friendly conversation and found out a little more about the seller. The open house was a zoo, there were literally 50 or more other people through in the short time that we were there. We loved the place but were even more nervous about getting it because a lot of people seemed interested. When it was time to write an offer Jocko was direct about what we would need to do to have a chance at winning without making us feel pressured. It turned out there were a total of 12 other offers so we were kind of freaking out, but we put our best foot forward and didn't stretch the budget beyond our comfort zone. Two days later we were pretty shocked to find out that we had won and we were pumped! Next came the stressful part of home inspections, locking in our loan etc. and while there were some challenges along the way Jocko was there for us through every step of the process and communicated regularly about what to expect next. Overall we made it to the finish line and now we couldn't be happier in our new home. We would highly recommend his services to anyone and look forward to working with Jocko next time!

Jocko went above and beyond in all aspects to find me my dream Waikiki condo. As a first time home buyer he made the process effortless and fun.
