How is she helping people like you?
Our experience purchasing a home with Marina was amazingly smooth and stress-free.
The efforts Marina put in to make sure we were kept informed and ahead of any issues or concerns made a world of difference. No one likes to be surprised while buying a home and Marina went out of her way to make sure there wasn't any of that. There were several times we would have a simple request or question and she would go above to answer us and anticipate any follow-on questions. She is adept at knowing when to push hard and when to take it easy, and has what I would consider the perfect amounts of tact and aggression when negotiating.
Marina is working with the Farris Group who also really impressed us, their professionalism and support for each other was very evident throughout the process. Anytime we would have a question that Marina didn't have personal knowledge of she was able to get an answer from her team with context and expertise from years of experience. So anything Marina may not yet possess personally when it comes to experience she is very well equipped and knows how to utilize her available resources. We never felt like we weren't getting what we needed.
I am happy to recommend Marina as a realtor. She possesses that certain X-factor that makes you feel taken care of, because she does care. More than that, she's good at what she does, so anyone choosing to work with her is making a great decision. If this is long-winded I apologize, there are just so many great things to say about how we feel working with Marina. Highly recommended to say the least.

Bought a Single Family home in 2020 in Ewa Beach, HI.
Marina should be your realtor.
Just purchased in Honolulu! Ran into Marina at an open house and started chatting. She took down my information and began helping me right away, despite the fact I wasn't really looking for a realtor at the time.
She assisted me for 2 months across Oahu until my wife and I found "home." Usually responded to my questions and requests within minutes, and I don't think I ever waiting longer than an hour.
Bottom line - She is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and if she doesn't know something off hand she gets you an answer within a day. She also has a good team working with her.

Bought a Single Family home in 2021 in Honolulu, HI.
Marina has far exceeded our expectations from the very beginning!
Together with her diligent assistant Kristi, they are the A-Team. My husband Daniel and I had a tall order for them and Daniel is very particular and has high expectations, so it’s safe to say we are needy clients. The process of selling your home then buying a new one is very exhausting, yet Marina is a very self-motivated, dependable professional always 10 steps ahead of you. Everytime we needed something from her, she ALWAYS responded immediately while bringing creative solutions. She was able to sell our home in a month AAAANNNDD found us our Forever Home in a month as well! In between all that busy-ness, The Farris Team hosted a client appreciation event at Olino Theatres watching Top Gun which we all enjoyed as a family with the kids! Marina is an excellent communicator, great at time management and always shows us her strong follow thru (which I like especially), never left us hanging or made us feel unimportant. I been in sales for over 20 years and We couldn’t have asked for a better Team. Having Kristi by her side is the icing on the cake! If you need a rock solid ethical realtor, go with Marina Tolentino with The Farris Team/eXp Realty. We absolutely LOVE our new Home :) Mahalo Mahalo MAHALO!!

Bought and sold a Townhouse home in 2022 in Ewa Beach, HI.
Marina was extremely helpful throughout the whole process.
As a first time home buyer, she was able to break things down for me to understand so that I knew exactly what was going on the entire time. We visited multiple properties and her honesty in reviewing each property gave comfort and confidence while shopping for my new home. I was actually given Marina's information by one of my military co-workers who had a great experience working with Marina while buying her home here in Hawaii. Needless to say, I had the same experience!

Sold a Single Family home in 2021 in Waianae, HI.
We discovered Marina through one of her social media channels where she shares informative videos about buying a house in Hawaii. As first time buyers, we felt empowered to start the process after watching her videos. We reached out to Marina via email, and got a response in minutes. A day later, we’ve started viewing houses.
After a week, we were able to make a decision to place an offer on the house we love. Marina guided us every step of the way with constant communication through texts, e-mails, and video calls.
With her amazing team, we were able to close on our dream house around 45 days from our accepted offer. The process was clear, simple and easy to understand because of her continued guidance.
We were so lucky to have found Marina.
We felt that she had our backs and she is very supportive of us in creating the next chapter of our lives.

Bought a Single Family home in 2021 in Honolulu, HI.
We purchased this home remotely. Marina did an incredible job, going above and beyond FaceTiming the entire house with voice over. She took the time to answer all our question and going back over sections time and again. She was fantastic! Her support team was equally good. All the things that needed to be handled, got taken care of: contractors, inspections, electricians and plumbers - Marina and the eXp Realty team did it all. AWESOME!
Thank you so much for being our eyes, ears and representatives.
