Chris was fantastic to work with when he sold our condo in Oahu. He is friendly, always available, and responds quickly whenever questions come up. His confident and hardworking approach kept the process moving smoothly from start to finish. Thanks to his dedication, our condo sold in just five months. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a reliable and professional realtor in Hawaii.

Chris has been incredibly helpful and responsive when it comes to understanding what we’re looking for in a home rather than trying to make a sale. We appreciate his patience and professionalism throughout the process and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who puts clients first.

Chris helped us buy and eventually sell out condo in Hawaii. We’ve loved working with him; a steady hand and great communicator in an otherwise often complicated process. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place in Oahu.

I reached out to 5 other realtors prior to coming across Chris. Other realtors either responded slow or ghosted me entirely – still not sure why 🤷. In less than 3 months time Chris and I were able to go from showing to closing. I am not even on Island and the whole process did not feel stressful at all. Chris does not try hype up properties like other realtors I worked with in the past and will call out issues like it is, so that’s a big one for me. I definitely plan to reuse him and recommend anyone looking for a realtor to give him a holler.

Working with Chris was the best decision we made during our home search on O’ahu! As first-time homebuyers using a VA loan, we had so many questions—but Chris was patient, informative, and incredibly knowledgeable about the process. He helped us understand our VA loan benefits, explained appraisal gaps, and even connected us with a lender who could move quickly. He knew the ins and outs of different neighborhoods, from Ewa Beach to Mililani and Kapolei, and helped us avoid common mistakes with leasehold properties and short-term rental restrictions. Chris went above and beyond, and we truly felt like he had our best interest in mind the entire time. We wouldn’t have landed our dream home without him!

Chris is hands-down the best Realtor we’ve worked with on O’ahu! He helped us navigate a complex VA loan assumption and made the entire process smooth, clear, and stress-free. His knowledge of the local market especially in Kapolei, Ewa Beach, and Waikīkī was incredibly helpful in finding the right fit for our PCS relocation. Chris took the time to explain everything from closing timelines to short-term rental rules and even gave us investment advice for future property planning. Super responsive, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients. If you’re looking to buy, sell, or invest in Hawai’i real estate especially if you’re using VA benefits or relocating for the military. Chris is the Realtor you want on your side.

Chris has been a saving grace as a long distance buyer. He went and looked at and sent videos of every property I asked to see. Even after closing he still remained in touch and ensured my new place was move in ready for when I arrived. I cannot recommend him enough!

Outstanding service. Chris is the one to trust in Oahu. We were able to sell from out of state and Chris took care of us. Thank you.

Bret Schumilas · Jul 2, 2024 · ★★★★★ · Google

Chris is very affable, he is easy to work with. He is always available and worked hard to ensure a smooth transaction. It took 18 months to find the right house and he took the extra steps sending out mailers and finding off market options. My wife and I would definitely recommend Chris without hesitation.

Nico Fronteras · Feb 12, 2024 · ★★★★★ · Google

I’ve used plenty of realtors in my life and none of them compare to Chris. Way exceeded my expectations and got me 25k over my asking price. Chris will forever be the professional I turn to when I am either buying or selling again in the future. 5 stars !!!!

Chris was amazing to work with! We were out of state buyers and at one point we were house hunting and making offers all while on vacation, and Chris kept us informed every step of the process. He was always available and accommodating, and we felt he was truly on our side helping us find the right home – not just helping us buy a house. He was excellent with communication and showed great attention to detail, making the process simpler and smoothing any bumpy parts. I highly recommend Chris and his team!

Chris is an Excellent realtor who I would recommend to anyone moving to Hawai’i for their PCS, or just purchasing a home on Oahu. Chris was dependable and attentive, and went out of his way to ensure I understood everything, and was always available to answer any questions. He worked tirelessly to find me a home, and is a skilled negotiator; I ended up getting my home for 25K BELOW asking price in a highly competitive market, which is pretty unheard of. His connections with attorneys, lenders, home inspectors, and others will make your home buying process a breeze if you choose him. I highly recommend Chris if you are buying or selling, I will definitely be using him for my next home purchase as well. Mahalo Chris!

amymrn · Aug 13, 2026 · ★★★★★ · Zillow

Chris was an amazing real estate professional – from start to finish. He showed us several properties right away while we were in Waikiki, but was able to facilitate our purchase remotely. We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Chris and will certainly engage him again in the future should the occasion arise to make another purchase or sale in Oahu.

Edward Dionne · Aug 30, 2025 · ★★★★★ · Zillow

Chris’s knowledge of the market is second to none. He knew exactly when to list the property. I had my doubts especially when we were listing the house as is. But he assured me the timing was right. The showings went well as did the open houses. Then the offer came and Chris asked if I wanted to accept. I said yes without hesitation. He then mentioned credits for the buyer and with some negotiations involved we settled and closed when Chris said we would. If I had more homes to sell Chris Faniteri is definitely the agent I would call to get it done.

TitusDavid · Aug 16, 2025 · ★★★★★ · Zillow

I’m a first time home buyer. Went on house hunting with Chris and he was very helpful and insightful in giving the details along with the pros and cons of each house. We eventually found a really amazing home and he helped us with the bidding in a realistic manner as there were many other offers. We were eventually accepted by the seller and Chris was very helpful with the list of works needed for the escrow and was always available for help. Very well organized and insightful agent to work. We were eventually able to close the escrow and Chris didn’t stop there. He offered us a complementary cleaning of the house before we moved in. A very kind gesture. You will be in really good hands when working with Chris and his team. Much Aloha.

Chris helped us purchase a condo & my cousin purchased a house. Chris also helped my sister buy land for her tropical dream home build. Chris is an absolute rockstar! Chris’s work ethic is amazing, responsiveness is amazing, & I can’t imagine trusting anyone else in my future real estate ventures. Look no further. Chris is your guy!

Chris is a top notch professional. He led me through the process of selling my home while being on the mainland. I never knew it could be so easy. Chris staged the home and had beautiful professional photos taken to get the right kind of attention. From listing to closing was 45 days! Chris and his team are so smooth. They always follow through with what they say and I could never have asked for a better realtor to handle the sale of my home. Thank you Chris for your hard work and professionalism!!

laurentelleria22 · Jul 22, 2023 · ★★★★★ · Zillow

Chris was great to work with. We bought our home sight unseen because of his FaceTime calls, responsiveness, and we really liked the way he does business. I recommend Chris to any Soldier who is new to the island looking for a home. We found the perfect house with everything on our wish list and in the location we wanted too. Our Hawaiian dream home!

Autumn Matsuwaki · Dec 11, 2022 · ★★★★★ · Zillow

I am native to Hawaii; born and raised or what we call, “local.” So, it comes as no surprise that I know a lot of realtors in Hawaii. I, myself have my license, but no longer practice. Needless to say, I definitely know what it takes to be a realtor and a great one at that; therefore, my expectations are that much greater and when it comes to finding my realtor, I had to know they I could trust them and worked hard to represent me and my highest and best interest. Chris is super easy to work with. He paid attention to detail, communicated well, and most importantly, he had my back. When you find someone like this, you refer everyone to them. Chris be that someone!

Best relator I have worked with! There is so many relators out there but Chris is IT. Chris helped our family navigate through finding the perfect home, he dedicated so much time and effort into finding the specific details we required. Not only did he make it all happen while we were out of the state, but he also got us our house for 100K less then asking price! We could not be happier with his services.

Chris was beyond helpful helping us get settled into a new normal. At the drop off a hat, Chris was able to make appointments and show us homes the same day. He was patient in starting over when our first deal feel through. He was a great negotiator for us, standing our ground when the sellers wanted more and getting us exactly what our family of three needed without breaking the back. He also was able to refer a lender to assist us. We couldn’t have found a better agent. Thanks Chris!!

I can’t say enough good things about Chris. Right from the get-go, Chris’s passion and knowledge were crystal clear – he knew every neighborhood, every market trend, and every home as if he had a real-time map of the entire real estate landscape in his head.
