"My wife and I became acquainted with the Kailua / Lanikai area almost two years ago and when we became seriously interested in buying a place of our own here, we were introduced to Joel. He was able to translate our desires into key areas of focus and went to work on our behalf to find the right home for us. His counsel and guidance was instrumental in our success of getting an absolutely beautiful home that met our needs. We purchased this home while we were on the mainland and we relied on Joel and his team for almost every aspect of the sale, inspections and closing process. We trust Joel and his team implicitly and not only have developed a great business relationship with him, but also a great friendship in the process."

"Joel Cavasso is the best Kailua-Lanikai Broker on the Island. He is smart, hardworking, courteous and he gets the job done. He truly thinks outside the box, which is a necessary quality in this market. We closed on a high end home on Kailua Bay and I trust him to sell our remaining home as well."

"Jan and I are coming back later this month and were reminiscing about how lucky we were to find you and through you find our dream home on Lanikai beach. As you know, we had been coming out for years from San Francisco to find the perfect second home -- but working with other real estate agents, nothing worked. We found you and, within a single week, had that perfect house in contract. You are the best agent we've ever met anywhere and thanks to you we are set for life. Thanks again for all your help. It wouldn't have happened without you."

"I am writing this letter that is years overdue. I want to thank you for your persistence over the last ten years. Over ten years ago you approached me about a beachfront property that you thought would be a wonderful investment. I declined the property. History proved you correct. A few property listings and five years later, you approached me again about another beachfront property. My wife and I purchased that property. It turned out to be the last affordable beachfront property in Kailua, just like you said. As you know, we are now building are dream home. I want to thank you for your honest style. I have been told by other high profile REALTORS that I could not afford certain properties over the years, although they knew nothing of my financial situation. I have also seen the disgusting pandering of REALTORS who side with beachside activists. These REALTORS have testified that all beachside accesses should be open, yet many have made fortunes selling homes on private beachside lanes. You have been nothing but forthright and honest over the years. Thanks for our home and being a friend."
