"Tina Marie was personable, honest, and amazing at what she does! She has an amazing team of women behind her helping as well, so there is always someone available to help. We aren't military, which can be a challenge with limited qualification levels, but Tina is great at negotiations and figuring out how to make you as competitive as possible in such a tough market. We highly recommend Tina Marie Garcia & her team to anyone looking to buy in Hawaii."

"I couldn't be happier with my real estate agent,Tina who sold recently sold my home. Her expertise on watching the market trends and her strategic approach resulted in a successful sale in under a month. She navigated the entire process and experience professionally, keeping me informed and easing my concerns. Quick responses to messages and calls showcased her dedication. I highly appreciate Tina’s dedication to both expertise and genuine human connection. I highly recommend Tina to anyone seeking a dedicated and effective agent, whether it’s buying or selling."

"There aren't enough words to show how much appreciation we have for Tina and her team. She went above and beyond to make the selling process run as smoothly as possible. Her organization skills and timelines are on point! The way she really cares for her clients is everything. She made it a point to put us at ease and ensure that the process was stress-free. Not only was she helpful during the process but even after my family moved back to the mainland, she continued to check up on us and gave us advice when buying our new home off island. Thank you so much Tina for being amazing!"

"Working with Tina was such a great experience. Her quality of work is unmatched. She has the best team and they truly care about their clients. You can tell that Tina is in this business because she truly cares and wants the best for people. We listed our property slightly ahead of when we needed to because we were unsure how long it would take to get into escrow with the current market. We had an offer in 24 hours, when most homes were sitting for 2 months. And I know we aren’t the only client of hers that has had that experience. She provides really great realistic expectations but still managed to exceed them all. Tina is one of the best realtors you will find on island. Not just because she has a great worth ethic and will do her best by you, but because she truly makes you feel seen and heard during the process. You won’t regret choosing her, or her team, to represent you on your buying or selling journey!"

"Tina helped me first to buy my home in Hawaii and then 4 years later sell that same home. They go WAY above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable in your decisions and feel like you are part of the family, even long after you have moved in. They are very knowledgeable, especially regarding military situations. Be cautioned, this team will SPOIL you for years once you become a part of their family! They take great pride in not only assisting their clients but to actually form long-lasting & meaningful relationships. They truly are the best and have become good friends to my little family. I would choose Epic Homes again and again!"

Tina helped us recently sell our home in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. Tina was also our Real Estate agent when we bought the home 6 years ago. We had a special request to sell it contingent to purchasing a home in Washington State. We also needed to rent back for 2 months. Big requests in a hot hot market in both states. They listened and did not question our decisions. Tina always makes sure the house is professionally cleaned for photos, open house and move outs. The homes she sells are professionally staged. She goes above and beyond to get her clients top dollar. She knows what it takes. We had several offers and our house sold for over asking price. The offer on the house in Washington was accepted on our first try and we were able to rent back for 2 months. Marissa was amazing in her communication. She was there every step of the way and we very much appreciated her professionalism and getting all details handled quickly. I 100% recommend to use Epic Hawaii Homes if you are buying or selling property. Thank you, Tina and Marissa.

What more can be said of Tina than she is a Real Estate Goddess? When I began my first perilous journey to finding a house I was lost, confused, unsure of who to trust. A kind friend said to me “Seek Tina Garcia, and she will show you THE WAY” merely hours later, like a Mandalorian savior, Tina appeared, a beacon of Leeward light on my computer, making her first introduction. She swept into view, illuminating the path that would lead me to my first home. Like a baby giraffe, I wobbled and was unsteady in the steps I needed to take to move forward with a VA Loan, but Tina guided me. Like a wise sage with ease, she showed me each step. A renaissance woman of grace, intellect, and competence, she created a path through the metaphorical jungle of real estate and found a literal home in the ACUTAL jungle of Kaneohe. At the end of my long weeks as we waited for Escrow to close, Tina greeted me with a beautiful telegram in the form of a video update regarding my property — her words were like the old Toy Story song, “You’ve got a friend in me. Yeah, you’ve got a friend in me.” And true to the song, at the end of our expedition, I gained not only a real estate agent and home, but a friend. 100000/10 would trust Tina with my home again.

Tina is simply an amazing realtor!!! She is so down-to-earth and really went out of her way to help me purchase my very first home. She explained everything to me many times over and was never too busy to answer my questions or do an impromptu viewing. She is super thoughtful and I could really tell that being a real estate agent is not just a job for her. She is very genuine, and super thoughtful. I recommend her a thousand times over! Even after I closed, there was a small issue with the home and she was able to help me out by reaching back out to the listing agent and sellers. She is a true professional and an all-around great person!

"Bottom line, Tina is the Realtor that you want to represent you throughout your home buying process. Hands down, Tina is the best. She is reliable, extremely responsive, very knowledgeable, and one of the most genuine people I've met. She is also very passionate about realty and helping you get the home of your dreams. It truly shows that she cares about you and your desire to become a home owner in Hawaii. Tina makes the home buying process simple and easy to understand, so you know what you're getting yourself into. I grew up in Hawaii and have always had the dream to be a home owner in Hawaii. Before my dreams came true, I joined the military in 2015 and left home. Ever since leaving, I did my best to be stationed back home so I could be with my family again and start my journey to being a Hawaii home owner. After serving my time away from home, I got the most amazing news in 2019 that I landed a job on JB-Pearl Harbor Hickam. Super excited and elated, I moved back home and slowly got into looking at potential homes. Fast forwarding to December of 2019, I met Tina. I was very nervous before meeting Tina because I always had this perception of relators that they would force me into buying a home or make commitments that I wasn't ready for. So I definitely had my guard up, especially because I was new to the home buying process and knew very little about it. BUT, the first meeting with Tina changed my perspective about relators and the whole process. I became very open and honest with her about my knowledge of buying a home, and she quickly assured me that I was in good hands and that she would be there every step of the way...and she was. Tina explained everything to me in the most simplest terms and made sure I understood everything that I was signing and what she was doing on her end. Tina's transparency made me feel so much more comfortable and confident in searching for the right home. On top of everything, Tina was also very patient with me. We started looking for homes in December, and I finally bought my home in May of 2020. Throughout six months of looking at homes, Tina was there through it all, never pressured me, and allowed me to make a decision on my own timeline. On top of that, she was consistent throughout the biggest curve ball of 2020...COVID-19. Tina makes everything possible even through the most uncertain times. It is now July, and I am loving my new home. To this day, Tina stays in touch with me and is even guiding me through ideas of what I want to do with my home in the near future. I always believe in surrounding yourself with people who are truly on your side, and will root for you throughout all your successes. Tina is that person who will do that and more. She is a true professional and is the relator you want on your team. I can't thank you enough Tina! I am so grateful that you are my realtor."

They are by far the best Agency on the Island."
