Sunshine- Hawaiiana Management
"Araceli was our property manager for over five years at our commercial leased space for our bowling alley, and she was by far the best property manager we've ever had. She was professional, responsive, and always easy to talk to. Her experience in the field, strong vendor relationships, and friendly, solution-oriented approach were incredibly valuable to us — especially as we navigated the challenges of COVID, an unprecedented time for everyone. Araceli also played a key role in supporting our solar upgrade project and managed a major re-roofing project for the property with minimal disruption to our business. We truly appreciated her dedication and expertise throughout our time working together."
