We recently had the pleasure of working with Kevin Kawaoka on acquiring 2 properties. This deal required a quick 15 day close which meant we needed to be well coordinated and planned. Kevin had all the due diligence buttoned up and ready for us. He also did an excellent job on keeping us well informed on important dates and addressed all concerns that arose. As with many real estate transactions, the unexpected sometimes emerges. This time it came in the form of struggling to find property insurance for the building. We reached out to our typical sources but the solutions were few & far between. Being in constant communication with Kevin, he was aware of our situation and took action and found us the right solution which proved to make smart business sense while keeping to our tight timeline. Thanks for adding value and not being a “Joe Broker” paper pusher….

Wanted to also mention that after a successful close, there have been a handful of items that we needed assistance with and Kevin has always been responsive and helpful. He’s not the broker that disappears after the check is cut. If apartments is your business and you’re looking for a committed real estate teammate then Kevin Kawaoka is your guy. Thanks for all your help Kevin!

We were looking to acquire a value-add asset with very specific buying criteria. Through his extensive network, Kevin was able to find us a deal that was not on the market. There are few brokers that can actually execute when the deal is not listed and he’s one of them. We had a smooth transaction, closed on-time and are ready to start our business plan on takeover. Looking forward to many more deals to come. Thank you Kevin!

” Thank you for your continued persistence and follow through in helping us successfully complete multiple transactions. You were able to continue to push forward and find ways to make progress when it wasn’t easy. Looking forward to continue working with you on many deals to come. ”

“Kevin, my Partners and I along with the entire LA Apartments team would like to thank you for the incredible work you did for us in acquiring 10865 White Street. During the process we consulted with you multiple times regarding the federal tax lien, proposition 10, section 8, interim management agreement and deed of trust that had not been reconveyed.

Not only did you offer timely and sound advice, you were able to work through the issues and get the deal closed successfully. Your willingness to consult with us and your follow through after closing shows character and that you care about your clients. There is no question in my mind that if it hadn’t been for your tenacity our transaction would have fallen apart several times.

We are extremely grateful to you for going above and beyond and helping making the White Street Apartments acquisition a great success. We look forward to continue to do business and would welcome the opportunity to be a reference for you in the future.”

“As a broker of many years, I wanted the most professional and competent brokers to represent me in the sale of my building. I had a choice to pick anyone from the hundreds available but I chose you to handle the many details and marketing of my property. You have warm and winning personalities. You brought in many buyers, but more importantly had the “right stuff” to close strong. Thank you again. It has been a pleasure working with you.”

I recently had the pleasure or working with the Bluechip Investment Group on the sale of my apartment building. Not only did they get me a record breaking price, I found them to be true professionals, excellent communicators, and strategic deal makers that know how to get the job done. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property. “

The Bluechip Investment Group are true experts in the commercial and investment real estate industry, and we have found them to be both tenacious and creative in securing us the best possible outcomes in several challenging real estate transactions involving complications such as LLC’s and yield maintenance mortgages. In our experience over the past 13 years B.I.G represents the very best in their profession and it is truly our pleasure to support their continued success.”

“We started working with the Bluechip Investment Group many years ago and I’m glad we did. They have assisted us on multiple real estate assignments and contributed strong assets to our real estate holdings. Let’s keep doing deals… Thank you B.I.G ! “

” We chose to list our property with Kevin Kawaoka and we’re glad we did. He educated us on the market and was able to bring us the right buyer to close the transaction smoothly and efficiently. He’s a seasoned broker that has an in-depth knowledge of negotiation, due diligence, and a keen understanding of how to make the transaction process seamless. Thank you Kevin! ”

“ Going through the process of selling my apartment building I interviewed numerous brokers and I can tell you first-hand that Kevin Kawaoka is different. From listing to closing he guided me one step at a time while also letting me know what the road ahead looked like. I had never sold an apartment building before and this was a daunting task. He’s a true specialist in his field and knows how to handle times of uncertainty. His selling strategies and marketing is second to none. We got over list price by $100k dollars !!!! Thank you Kevin & Team ! ”

I rarely write any recommendation or referrals however when something or someone stands out as outstanding, I will make an exception. Kevin Kawaoka is unquestionably the exception. He took on helping sell a property with some issues that needed to be cleared through title and city records, and he went to bat repeatedly in clearing up everything and making the transaction as smooth as possible for my associates and I.

Not only that, but when it came time to selling, he kept us abreast of matters, made solid suggestions in our best interests, and he was ultimately able to get us significantly more than the asking price to our surprise and appreciation. That is not to say we undervalued the property in the listing, as we researched fair market and priced it on the higher side expecting to settle for less…but Kevin came through and got us much more than asking to our delight.

His professionalism and dedication to his client’s best interest is evident, and I plan to contact him for future real estate matters as he has proven himself to be a solid trusted advisor!

I have been a licensed real estate agent in California and Nevada for over 16 years and now have permanent residency in Las Vegas.

In late March of this year one of my high profile clients ask me to assist her in a California transaction to sell her multi-family property in Los Angeles. Although I am licensed in California I knew that my client deserved the best broker to list her property. After a long due diligence search for the right broker, we selected Kevin. We selected Kevin over other brokers because of his track record, his immediate response to our inquiries and his leadership with CCIM. He instilled confidence in us that he would be the right broker for the job.

We quickly realized we made the right decision. His attention to details and fast responses evenings and weekends made us feel very comfortable. Kevin handled everything needed dealing with tenants, repairs, inspections and all the necessary Los Angeles County and real estate forms and documents. Every step of the way through the closing of escrow Kevin delivered.

He not only determined the correct selling price to get multiple offers but a sales price $100,000 over the asking price.

It is without hesitation that I would strongly recommend Kevin for any real estate transactions in the Southern California region.

I seldomly write reviews. This one is long overdue. Kevin and his team helped to sell my apartment buildings in Los Angeles. Kevin is very knowledgeable in the local market and I followed his advice every step of the way. I have met a number of other realtors but I am most impressed by Kevin particularly on his approach with the pricing, packaging and marketing of my property. He works harder than any other broker I know. He is very upfront and he assisted me to prepare a very comprehensive package for the buyers to complete their due diligence. I had rather stringent terms with my offer and would only accept all cash and no hassle buyers.

We ended up generating multiple offers and the transaction went smoothly from acceptance to closing. Kevin was on top of everything including assisting me to pick the right buyer. Most of all Kevin is honest, personable and an ethical broker. It gave me me peace of mind with him at the helm. He delivered what he promised. I will not hesitate to recommend him to any serious investor. Kevin is someone I can trust.
