Real Estate Planning


Build, Protect, and Transfer Wealth Through Real Estate

Mission: Our Driving Force

Witnessing so many families torn apart by real estate disputes in the wake of a loved one’s passing was deeply disheartening. Learning that 70% of families endure family disputes over real estate made us realize the urgent need for change, and we were determined to spark that transformation. 

The problems our clients encountered inspired us to be the solution. Every day we see these challenges:

  • Families fighting over real estate.
  • Seniors living in dangerous conditions and unaware of safer alternatives. 
  • Parents worried about the transfer of wealth to their children.
  • Paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in capital gains taxes.
  • Families struggling with the daunting probate and trust process.
  • Owning rental properties without the insights to evaluate the rate of return of their property.
  • Frustrated investors, overwhelmed by rental property hassles and unaware of solutions.

Encountering these challenges repeatedly highlighted a critical need for guidance and solutions. This gave birth to the Real Estate Planner!

Changing the Industry from Transactional Agents to Relational Consultants

We realized the industry is predominantly transactional, where agents are facilitators of transactions. We want to spark the industry to be more relational and act as a consultants to provide comprehensive guidance tailored to clients’ needs.

 

This shift mirrors the evolution seen in the financial industry, from stock brokers to financial planners. We believe in creating a plan that helps you build, protect, and transfer wealth through real estate.

Client Testimonials

We started out with attending their different workshops on real estate investing, including the one on 1031 Exchanges. When the time came to exchange a duplex for a condominium, we engaged "The Ihara Team". They patiently worked with us to locate a condominium that fit our desired location and also within our budget. The 1031 Exchange was flawless. Working with Julie, Dan and their staff was such a pleasant experience, that we decided to have an after hour party for them at their office. We would recommend them to anyone who needs real estate help in buying, selling or exchanging properties or just to talk real estate in general.

The Ihara Team is top notch! When we were moving to Hawaii, we came from Germany. Buying a home is hard enough; trying to buy a home from a different continent and 12 time zones apart only complicates the matter. The Ihara Team made the process easy! Phone calls, Zoom call, etc.; they were accessible whenever we needed to chat. Once we came on island, they would pick us up at our hotel and drive us to homes. They helped us through the buying process and within 10 days we had an offer down on a home and ultimately that home became the home we moved into. It’s beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I encourage everyone to work with Dan and his team. They are the best!!!!

I consider myself lucky to have found the Ihara team. Years before in another state I had a really bad experience buying a residence. This time was much much better. They made the process smooth for me and were very responsive. In fact, I continue to keep in touch with them as they have customer appreciation and education events- they are adding value even after the purchase of my residence!

The Ihara team provided the best service I could ask for when we bought and sold our home. Dan and his team did whatever it took to get what we wanted. In the end, we are so happy with our home. I recommend using the Ihara team to my family, friends and co-workers. Your home is probably the most important purchase you'll ever make, why risk not getting what you want by using someone with less experience and perseverance.
