Don't Let That Friendly Demeanor Fool You
Maila deserves a big raise, or in real estate terms, a larger commission split for all transactions going forward! Or at the very least, a huge bonus! She exceeded my expectations of a real estate agent by a hundred fold! She was amazing! She worked so hard and took control of everything so I didn't have to worry about anything. I am overseas working as a civilian for the US Army and Maila handled every detail for me. I was afraid I would have to fly home during the pandemic to sell my house, but Maila assured me that I could do everything remotely. Maila took care of everything and kept me abreast of all the details every step of the way. Maila made this as stress free as it possibly could be. She is so friendly, professional, polite, kind, and you can tell she has a big heart and passion to help people. But don't let that friendly demeanor fool you, she was a bulldog when it came to negotiating with the buyers agent, and did not stop till she got the job done and the deal closed. I am so thankful that I had her representing me as a seller. Maila closed the transaction at $50K over asking price. She is a lifesaver for me and my entire family. Her dedication to her clients and her work ethic by far exceeds anyone I've ever worked with. Your company should be so proud of her and should feel so lucky and blessed to have such an amazing agent working on their team. Mahalo Maila, you are the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you! -Laura Siebeneck
The Standard For How ALL Realtors Should Be...
Maila was everything anyone could ever want and more in an agent. Buying a house is confusing, stressful, and scary. I warned Maila that I was going to need a lot of hand holding thru the process because I was extremely ignorant to what is expected, needed, and suggested. I've had experiences before where I was just forwarded emails and I didn't know what they meant and felt extremely alone in the process and fearful of what I was signing or getting into. Maila not only was available at my every call, text, and email, but she went into great detail explaining every single form, document, and situation to me and gave personal examples that made everything make sense. Doing that gave me sooo much comfort and confidence in our purchase that I actually ENJOYED buying our home. That should tell you just how amazing Maila was. I suffer from diagnosed anxiety and depression so for Maila to be able to turn one of THE MOST anxiety inducing things in the world into something I could handle and appreciate speaks volumes. I cannot say enough about how great Maila was. To me, she is the standard for how ALL realtors should be. - Nolan Hong
She Has a Way of Talking To People So That They Understand...
Maila was awesome in helping us to sell our home! She listened to our needs and guided us through everything and kept us on track. She has a way of talking to people so that they understand the needs and don't get insulted or mad. We didn't have to worry about missing deadlines because Maila would always ensure that everything was taken care of--customer service at its finest!! - Shirley Okamoto

My wife and I were referred to Maila. We are very thankful we were as she made the whole experience a breeze. We are young and tend to get looked past in some situations and she treated us with professionalism and went above and beyond to help us find our now dream home!

Transaction was easy, smooth and done in a timely matter. Agent very professional. Working with her gave me the confidence that I needed to feel comfortable with her competence and skills that eveything was taken cared of. She always answered my phone calls, texts and emails.

Maila was very professional, went over and aboard in marketing and showing my mom's house, and I truly appreciated her expertise. Being on the mainland, it was important for me to have someone that was trustworthy, with my best interest in mind. That was and is Maila. I would highly recommend Maila to anyone and would have her as my real estate agent if I were to ever buy property in Hawaii.

Maila is the best hands down!!! She really cares about the clients she serves and will go out of her way to do whatever she needs to do if her clients need her. I also believe that because people genuinely like (more love her), they talk to her to let her know what's needed to make the sale and close. We definitely know that everything worked out for us because she was our 3realtor. We would definitely use Maila again if we ever needed a realtor. Maila is definitely more than just a realtor to us and we consider her a friend that we can always count on. LOVE MAILA!!!

Maila is professional, kind, sweet, and upbeat, we are so grateful to meet her and work with her in this process. She is not only patient but also honest. She is trying to think for us at all times, we are thankful that she's representing us and we are hopeful to work with her again in the future! (We would love to let Maila see this message in person but prefer if our names are not shown publicly. Thank you.)

We are forever grateful for having experienced Maila's professionalism, thoroughness and willingness to go the extra mile to help us through the sale of our property. Having been a real estate professional myself, I can reliably recommend without hesitation, Maila to all my friends & family and feel confident that they will also feel the appreciation we feel for all that she does for her clients, her market knowledge and negotiating expertise.

My wife and I were first time home buyers and Maila was recommended to us through our Loan agent. We were super lucky to have her with us! She’s highly knowledgeable and gave us great information. She was able to answer all our questions and keep our minds at ease throughout the whole process. She ensured we understood all the steps and kept us informed through every step. I highly recommend her, especially to any first time buyers!
Linda Y.
Maila is your "go to" realtor. Friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, supportive, and wonderful to work with. She keeps you in the loop at all times, and answers your questions , making sure you are correctly informed on all matters. She has a bubbly personality that will put you at ease and make sure you are comfortable on all levels. I highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs

I must write this review because my situation was very complicated and I want others to know that they can trust and rely on Mrs. Gibson-Bandmann . Our House needed much repairs, it was full of business equipment, 3 generations of junk, and wear and tear of an older house. Plus we owed a great amount of taxes.We didn’t have a lot of money to renovate.To say we were ashamed is an understatement.Maila made us feel comfortable, she’s so humble and understanding. We needed to sell fast!What I felt was genuine compassion and i was pleased to walk away with MORE than we expected.I would and will recommend her to all!

Maila treated me like family. My first offer was not accepted. Being 24 years old and trying to buy a house all on your own is a difficult task. She not only made the process easy, but she also represented me so well that someone finally trusted me with their home. I was given the opportunity of a lifetime because of Maila and I was able to accomplish one of life's biggest milestones. I am truly grateful for all that she has done for me and continues to do for me even months after closing on the house.
