I'm writing a review on behlaf of myself and my buyers.

I'm a private mortgage banker in the city. I was given a referral from a friend for a couple looking to buy their first home back in 2012. The clients had been working with a realtor who just didn't seem to be working for them. I suggested they maybe look at finding someone else and that was the change of fate they needed.

They were able to get in touch with Valerie who treated them like royalty. Buying a home in today's market can be tough. After multiple offers and countless showings Valerie was finally able to land them the home they wanted. If it wasn't for her tireless work I'm sure they would have given up......in fact I'm positive.

She really went the extra mile for not only the client, but for me the lender as well. Her communication was relentless and prompt, something thats desperately needed in this line of work. Any buyers would be lucky to have Valerie on their side.

This review comes not from the client, but from the lender's perspective.

I worked with Gertrude in 2012 on a purchase for a condo in the city. My client's (the buyers) were preparing to buy their first home here in the states and I was their loan officer. Although the loan proved to be a bit difficult for a multitude of reason's, Gertrude was always there. She was professional, responsive, and most importantly caring. She went above and beyond to ensure these clients ended up with the property they wanted and she truly was the glue that held the entire transaction together.

Anyone looking for a new home would be more than greatful for the service she provides.

Far and away the best part of my 10 days in Kauai. Its funny you spend all of this money to have a great trip and the thing that stands out the most and that you'll remember is the one thats doesn't cost a penny. Advice: Go early and take shoes you don't mind throwing away afterwards. We hiked the 2 miles in to the beach and then treked 2 miles inland to the waterfall. Nothing made me feel more at one with nature than forging the rivers and slopping thru the mud to reach our destination. There's something very peaceful and spiritual about the journey there and back. If you're reading this review it means you may be hiking this trail.......I'm jealous.

I came here for a dinner a few months back and am just getting to the review. The couple we ate with knew Lorenzo (the owner) pretty well. He made it a point to go out of his way and welcome me as it was my first time dining there. We ate family style and I can honestly say I never want to eat another way. All in all we had about 8 different dishes. Some of them weren't on the menu. The truffle oil infused tortellini was to die for. By far my favorite dish in this entire city. If you see it on their menu I suggest going to try it. Perfect location and great atmosphere. Service alone warrants 5 stars.
