I believe you deserve a seamless, high-touch real estate experience that protects both your capital and your lifestyle.
As a second-generation Kailua Realtor raised right here on the water in Lanikai, real estate is part of my DNA. Long before I began my own career in 2003, I grew up watching my family found and operate one of Oahu's original luxury brokerages, Dilks & Jacobs. Over the last two decades, I’ve navigated the exact hyper-local market nuances, pocket listings, and community networks that algorithms and mainland platforms completely miss.
Together with my wife Allison—an expert interior designer who ensures our listings look flawless and our buyers transition seamlessly—we provide a bespoke, end-to-end luxury service tailored entirely to your unique timeline.
Mike was great to work with. He was very responsive to all communication. He is laid-back yet professional. We felt very comfortable during the whole process and I would highly recommend him.

Mike is great. He will work to do meticulous background research on each property before you make a purchase. We valued his knowledge of Hawai’i real estate and appreciated his advice on various scenarios. Hire him today!

This was a long process encompassing six months and covering over 3,000 miles because of the distance between California and Hawaii. Despite the obstacles, Mike diligently slogged through them finding and evaluating numerous properties for my consideration. Never did he pressure me into making a decision to end this saga. Finally, Mike did locate (and we successfully closed) the chosen property. And then, he kept going by arranging for the financing. This was a thorough and complete job on Mike's part from inception to conclusion. The entire project required an inordinate amount of trust That trust was not misplaced.
Born on Oahu, I have a long family history of Kailua real estate. My parents are long-time property owners of commercial, multi-family and residential real estate in Kailua. Some of My earliest memories are being dragged to rental properties with Mom to handle property issues while my Dad was at the helm of his Kailua real estate brokerage firm, "Dilks & Jacobs".
After attending High School and Graduating College in Carmel, California, I came home to Lanikai. Beginning my own real estate career in Kailua in 2003, I have worked island-wide with clients of all walks of life.
Beyond Real Estate, I am married to my amazing wife Allison who also works in real estate as a busy interior designer. We work together staging my listings and furnishing buyer's new homes.
We are a busy family of four, (well five if you count my Labrador "Bunker"). We have a young Daughter and Son and enjoy living on the water in Lanikai.
