Lectie Batula - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

As a first time home buyer, buying a house in Hawaii is a rollercoaster experience!

However, having Lectie by our side made my husband and I feel at ease. Lectie was able to help us put in a competitive but smart offer. Lectie was also able to keep our closing time-line on track so we were able to enjoy New Year's Eve at our new home. I highly recommend choosing Lectie as your realtor!!

Carly Killam

Lectie was amazing to work with throughout the entire process.

We were very picky buyers and she remained patient with us throughout the search. Lectie kept finding us places to look at that were in our price range and that met our criteria. When we thought all was lost and were losing hope, Lectie came through and found us the perfect place to buy. We are so delighted with the customer service and individual care that Lectie provided.

Keith Vincent MacKenzie

Lectie and the entire Ryan Lamb Team were masterful.

This is the second home that they have sold for us, with the first one going $40,000 over asking. In each case the strategy they used to seek qualified buyers resulted in a listing on Friday and in Escrow by Tuesday. We commend Lectie for taking care of us throughout the stressful listing process and through Escrow. She was there for us. She will be there for you too! We give her our highest recommendation.

Lectie is the best!

Michelle Goldstein

Lectie was very punctual, communicative, and professional while still being friendly and really showing she cared personally about me and my home buying experience.

As a first time buyer, I didn’t know much and asked many questions, but Lectie always responded professionally and promptly. She made me feel secure in the process and ultimately helped me weigh the pros and cons of buying without pressuring me.

I am extremely pleased with the experience I had in selling my parent's home.

I can't thank Lectie enough for everything, from simplifying all the terms and processes to me tactfully moving me along to finalizing the sale. She was always pleasant, easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, resourceful, quick to respond to my inquiries, and has a good sense of humor. I also want to thank Tammy and Jessica for their help in expeditiously moving this process along by answering my questions and making sure I dotted my "I"s and crossed my "T"s. I know they do this day in and day out, but great work doesn't go unnoticed. Again, thank you so much.

Rosemarie R Gutierrez

We were very happy with the service provided by Lectie Altman and highly recommend!

Before meeting Lectie we had gone through 3 other Realtors over the course of our first year on the Island, but after the first meeting with Lectie we were very impressed. Looking back now we are very glad we used her service. She has lived in almost every region of the Island and so was able to give us many point of view and advice for our particular needs. She was extremely easy to get in touch with and was very responsive to all of our questions. She worked hard and gave well thought out prices during negotiations.

Johnmark Farlett

I have dealt with 4 Realtors here in Oahu and Lectie is by far the best!

! She kept me informed every step, if I had questions I would text her and she would respond almost immediately.

From the moment we met her at an open house, Lectie was great to work with!

She made the process of buying a home simple and fast, guiding us every step of the way, keeping us informed, and cheering us on. We were thrilled with the services received and are so excited about our new place! We highly recommend her if you’re looking for a home! Thank you, Lectie!

I enjoyed my experience with Lectie as my real estate agent.

I can't thank Lectie enough for everything, from simplifying all the terms and processes to me tactfully moving me along to finalizing the sale. She was always pleasant, easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, resourceful, quick to respond to my inquiries, and has a good sense of humor. I imagine she does this day in and day out but great work doesn't go unnoticed. I will definitely drop her name if anyone is looking for an agent.

Our agent was great to work with.

She was very helpful and accommodating because we were on the mainland.

Tomeka Charmayne Johnson

This was my second time working with Lectie and she was great.

She is incredibly organized and stays on top of all of the little things that need to happen as part of a home purchase. She went above and beyond to get us quotes for some of the work we wanted to do to the house, so that we knew we'd be able to get exactly what we wanted out of the entire process. I would absolutely recommend working with Lectie!

learykara

Lectie was simply amazing.

She worked tirelessly to make sure our deal closed. She was always so quick to respond and made me feel like I was taken care of throughout the whole process. 10/10 I would recommend her services to anyone looking for their next property!

Lectie was a rock solid advisor, friend, and real estate agent from start to finish.

She was diligent in compiling listings and setting up showings, and stuck with me for months until a complicated escrow deal finally came to fruition. Totally dedicated and super easy to work with. Thanks Lectie!

Keith and Sherri MacKenzie

Lectie Altman is an exceptional Realtor and an even better human being.

There is no doubt in my mind that if there is anything that I or anyone I know that needs something that involves real estate, Lectie will be the first person I call or have anyone I know call. There is no other person that I would look to sell or buy with. I can speak from experience in both selling and buying a home with Lectie.

Frenis K Lopez

Lectie was great to work with, she was very knowledgeable regarding the Honolulu condo market and was eager to do open houses.

She was a big with dealing with a foreign seller and buyer. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell on Oahu.

zuser20150302091932732

Just purchased my first home with Lectie!

She was recommended by a good friend. From the very beginning she talked me through the entire process and always answered every single one of my questions without hesitation. I was buying from out of the state and had a certain window of when I wanted to close. I put a lot of trust into her since I was not in the area and she exceeded my expectations. She always gave me her undivided attention and cared about my needs. Thank you so much Lectie for your professionalism, kindness and diligence.

Lucky2232Lala

Lectie is an incredible agent.

Patient, kind, responsive, we never felt any pressure to make a deal during the home buying journey. When we did find a place we loved, Lectie guided us through the entire process with total empathy. We knew we were in good hands the entire time, and we wouldn't want to work with anyone else! Thank you, Lectie, for helping our dream come true.

jacob william cox

This was my first time purchasing a home.

Lectie answered all my questions during the process and was able to use her knowledge of the local market to help me find why I was looking for.

ealcocer

Let me start by saying that I'm very picky about everything!

So when it was time to look for a new home I knew exactly what I wanted and wouldn't settle for less! Not surprisingly, my husband and I looked at 30+ houses and didn't make an offer until we found the perfect one! (Which happened a couple of times, until our last offer was finally accepted!) Lectie was there with us through it all! She was very supportive through our search and helped us navigate the system as first-time home buyers. Her financial team worked with us and got us an amazing rate as well! I highly recommend her and her team, and will certainly work with her again in the future when we buy a second property!

lisbelrozewicz

Lectie was extremely helpful and helped me through the entire process as it was my first time buying a home!

She was especially knowledgeable about the island and definitely approachable even with my dumb questions! I would recommend her to my family, friends or anyone looking to buy a home here!

katherine brickner

Lectie was an amazing real estate agent.

Every day she was relentless in her search to help us find the perfect home, and the only thing that exceeded her dedication to helping us was her passion to be a top-quality real estate agent. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants an agent that will devote 120% effort to your search. If you want an agent that will stop at nothing to help you find your own piece of heaven in paradise, she is it.

zuser20161105114652687

Lectie was the best agent I have ever had the pleasure to work with.

She had an answer to all my questions and put my needs first. With her knowledge and experience, we were able to get our asking price and sold our unit faster than we had imagined. Her communication was phenomenal too. I know that in the future when I need to buy or sell a home, I will go with Lectie and the Berkshire Hawaii team.

Lectie Altman did a great job helping me find my new home!

Violeta G. Tangonan Thiers

When moving from Missouri to Hawaii, I asked my Berkshire Realtor, Karen Boelling, to set us up with someone from Berkshire Hawaii.

Because of our experience in the purchase and selling of our home with Karen in Missouri, I knew I wanted to use Berkshire in Hawaii. BHHSHR did not disappoint. Mina set us up with Lectie and I cannot say enough about Lectie's professionalism and her willingness to help every step of the way. Lectie's contacts which also helped us have such a great experience is something that needs to be mentioned. Just as in my line of work, no one can do it all on their own, they need a strong team behind them and Lectie definitely has that. We closed on our house in less than 30 days! Absolutely awesome! Thank you all for helping us during this transition from Missouri to Hawaii. My family and I are very thankful.

Frenis Kaleo Lopez

Lectie was awesome in handling the sale of our property on Oahu.

She handled the entire transaction with a high degree of professionalism. I cannot thank her enough for helping us complete this journey.

A little over a year ago Lectie Altman helped me purchase my first home.

It was a process I had never been through before, and in a highly competitive market she really made all the difference. She was knowledgable, responsive, innovative, and extremely helpful throughout the process. I would not be living in the home of my dreams home without her, and I cannot thank her enough!

codemechanic

Lectie provided much-needed assurance, confidence, and creativity during my home sale.

She was very responsive and helpful, always answering my MANY questions, and ensuring I was comfortable and understood where we were in the process. I'm so glad I had her on my team for my home sale and would refer anyone looking for a realtor on Oahu to Lectie!

natalie poggemeyer

Lectie was fantastic.

She was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process. She really cared about us and understood our needs from the very first conversation. I was out of state during the entire home buying process and was unable to do a lot of the leg work. Lectie made what could have been a stressful process as seamless and easy as possible. She helped with everything from attending open houses on our behalf, helping us find a lender, the closing, the paperwork, everything. She knew the local market well and got us what we wanted within our budget. If you’re buying or selling a home, I promise you won’t find a more dedicated realtor.

Ali Davenport

Lectie and her team were nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL.

Lectie's enthusiasm combined with her sales expertise ensured I was able to get my property sold in a timely manner. Even after I had a signed purchase agreement, Lectie worked relentlessly to ensure the rest of the closing occurred without any delays. Her communication throughout the entire process was phenomenal, keeping me informed each step of the way. Lectie is a true standout when it comes to real estate sales and has my highest recommendation!

forrestty0

Lectie is a fantastic realtor.

She was always immediately texting or calling for any and all developments before the closing and weeks after. She was flexible with her time and was always there to find the proper people to get things done. Thanks for all of your help Lectie!

I am a first time home buyer.

Lectie took the time to walk me through the entire process and answer any questions I had along the way. She was able to get a sense of what I was looking for and helped me find it. She was familiar with the area I was looking to buy in and she gave me her honest feedback without trying to sway my opinion. She was very professional and made the whole process very easy for me. I definitely recommend her as an agent.

ctsulli27

We enjoyed working with Lectie.

It was difficult having to coordinate a purchase from so far but she made it simple and easy. I can't say enough good things about her!

David

Lectie is an exceptional agent and advocate for her clients.

Home buying and selling is a stressful and exciting process and one of the largest transactions we do in our lifetime. We trust that Lectie acts in our best interest and goes above and beyond to meet expectations. She was one step ahead throughout the entire process.

Lectie is amazing at her work, every question was answered with professionalism and honesty.

We’d recommend her to everyone interested in real estate.

Lectie is the best in the business.

She handled every aspect of the sale of our condo and went above and beyond to take our worries away. She got us the price we wanted, multiple offers, and did it quickly and efficiently. We can’t thank Lectie enough for making this process so smooth. We’ll send everyone we know to her when they are buying or selling a home!

michellegoldstein19

We really liked working with Lectie!

While we were looking at houses she always gave us her honest opinion of the property and had a lot of knowledge relating to property maintenance/upkeep and red flags. During our purchase process she was super helpful - always organized and on time, made sure to communicate with us directly and made sure we stayed on track throughout the purchase process without any hiccups. We appreciate her so much and we highly recommend her!

zuser20160111211108776

The agent was very punctual and detail-oriented for the appointments.

For most of the showings, we went through an open house and only on occasion had to request an agent for an individual showing. We were in the market for more than 18 months and the agent was patient, understood our needs, and let us make the decision. We did all the homework so it was an easy process. Given the housing market in Hawaii and the interest rate environment during the past 18 months, I think being patient and not under pressure helped us find the right home finally.

Ganesan Srinivasan

Lectie was amazing to work with.

Due to living out of state before I moved, I was only able to visit Oahu to look at condos for a day. From the interests she gathered on that one day, coupled with frequent communication about things I wanted and did not want, she was able to find me a condo that I love. Being that this was my first time purchasing a property, I had many questions about the whole process that she was always able to answer or was able to refer me to someone who knew the answer. Her knowledge of the area is great, and I felt very comfortable buying my condo without ever seeing it in person. I am grateful I was able to work with Lectie, and even after I moved in she has continued to be helpful with anything I have needed to get settled into living on the island. If you are looking to buy or sell a property in Oahu I would highly recommend Lectie.

bmbarling

Lectie did an awesome job helping my wife and I navigate a crazy windward Oahu market and find our dream home.

We can't speak highly enough about her. She listened to our needs, suggested properties that fit us, was super responsive, helped us stand out and fought for us in a competitive climate. We felt like we had an edge over other buyers with her on our side. Knowledgeable, professional and resolute; she's great to work with and you want her on your team!

NickBrown8

Lectie was THE BEST real estate agent!

She was very accessible, knowledgeable, and professional! She spent the extra time required for us to purchase our home from out of the state. She really went the extra mile to ensure our experience was enjoyable! She is truly THE BEST!

jteyhen

Lectie is the best in the business.

Her communication and follow through is superior. We’ve been looking at homes for more than 2 years with her and she’s been patient and supportive while also providing us knowledge and comfort along the way to make the right decision. We would not have finally found our home without her by our side!
