Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?
My wife, daughter and I have bought and sold several homes, condos and fix and flips and so I'm very familiar with the different neighborhoods of the island, what build quality to expect and what red flags to avoid when buying a home here. I'm a very patient and respectful person which goes well with the real estate process since there can be many twists and turns and different personalities along the way.
Hawaii is very different from the mainland and so it's important to work with someone who understands the landscape and the process from first-hand experience.
I would love the opportunity to work with you!

If you are looking for a friendly, knowledgeable and on it kind of realtor, look no further than Micah Grafsgaard! We have purchased a couple properties over the last decade and I have to say, I was really impressed with Micah's professionalism, work ethic, demeanor and knowledge base of the industry. Micah is reliable and works his tale off! He is very strategic in negotiations and quick to respond to texts, calls and emails. His ideas are outside the box and his priority is pleasing his clients not his bottom line. Through this process, not only did we gain our dream home but we gained a friend too.
Micah has helped us obtain our first home together as a married couple and as homeowners in Honolulu! He LISTENED to us and our wants and showed us properties in line with our wishes as well as providing invaluable support as a veteran dealing with a veteran couple (both of us). During the course of the search, he made himself available and was prompt for our meetings. Even when things looked complicated he was able to work with the seller and us to have both parties satisfied. I look forward to working with him for future purchases!
Micah was exceptional to work with. I really never felt I could buy anything in Hawaii and here I sit typing a review from my new Condo. I explained my budget and what I had to work with and now I am a first time home owner here in Hawaii. I won't kid you, the process to buy property is not pleasant. Micah was very level headed and walked us through it. He has good contacts for inspections, lenders and even contractors if you need them. Micah will work hard on your part No matter the price tag on the property. We had hurdles to overcome with travel and although I was not always present in Hawaii he worked with me no matter where in the country I happened to be. If you chose Micah you made a wise choice.
Micah has an awesome attitude, work ethic, and was great to work with. He is very knowledgeable and made my first-time home buying experience very easy. He was very detailed throughout the entire purchase process and was quick to respond to texts, calls, and emails. He goes out of his way to make sure his clients are getting the home they really want. He was able to get me into my dream home and I highly recommend him as your realtor.
Micah is a friend of mine and I joked with him that our entire friendship has been an interview, as there are no shortage great of realtors in my friend group. He won my business due to his mindset, work ethic and his great communication. We had a very specific idea of what we were looking for and where we were willing to live- basically looking for a unicorn property. Micah made it his priority to find us that property and was extremely patient, as we were willing to wait until we found the right home. We found it!! He handled the contract period so smoothly that we felt comfortable and informed the entire time. Our experience with Micah was perfect- we have a very high level of expectation for communication and professionalism when doing business and he exceeded on all levels.
I moved from Maui to Oahu in 2016 and looked for property to buy in Honolulu for over a year. Since I was having difficulty finding suitable properties and had wonderful experience with Hawaii Life buying/selling my home in Kula, I reached out to Micah to help me with my property search. I found him to be very energetic and positive, responsive and knowledgeable whenever I had questions, and showed a high level of interest in my personal wants and needs re: finding the home of my dreams. He found it for me! He was with me on every step of the home purchase and still keeps in touch/shows interest now that the sale is complete. Mahalo Micah for your good work!
I recently purchased my third property, but this was my first in Hawaii. The Hawaiian market is very unique, having a great realtor vs. an okay one can save you time and money. Micah helped me develop a strategy for purchasing my property in downtown Waikiki from start to finish. I found him on line before I moved to the Oahu. He is a great listener and always provided the right amount of feedback without being pushy. I told him that I needed to find a property and close before I started working (60 days). I felt well informed about the homes in my price range when I arrived on island. The day after I arrived Micah picked be up from my hotel and drove me to all of our showings. I had multiple people mention that they were impressed with the level of service that I received. A lot of realtors will not accompany you let alone drive you to showings on island. Parking in Waikiki is limited and can be expensive; this is just one of examples of the high quality service he provided me.
I met Micah surfing at White Plains in Ewa. We got talking in the lineup. When i found out he was a realtor, I got his number. We had a studio we needed to sell to move back to Hawaii. He not only cleaned it up, he sold it within a month. We got a great price. Micah really knows the market in Hawaii. He is not just my realtor, he is a good friend. If you need to buy or sell on Oahu he is the guy to call.
From the moment we met Micah it was obvious he was a real estate professional. He checked out the unit we wanted to sell and immediately got to work taking photos of the property to post online. The unit we were selling was a small one with a small price tag, but Micah never made us feel like our sale was not important. We received an offer in less than a month, which was a great surprise! The best part about working with Micah was the guidance he provided. We never had to wonder what our next step would be, Micah was there to guide us.
Micah was a rock solid real estate agent from day one. We put him through what I'm sure is a "normal" thing for first time home buyers on Oahu - demanding a property in a location and at a price point that didn't really exist. Micah was extremely patient with us and guided us through the entire process, helping us to understand what neighborhoods were realistic for us, and at what price points. Though it took us some time to finally find the perfect house, we were fully prepared and made an offer on the house of our dreams on the day it came to market. We beat out over 10+ offers, and I'm thankful I had Micah on my team to make it happen! His preparedness and creativity were the main reasons we ended up with the house. The escrow process went smoothly and as a first time home buyer with no experience, I was impressed with the how easy Micah made it all seem. We closed, and I couldn't be happier. Mahalo Micah for helping us find the perfect house!
Micah is absolutely amazing! This man looked at like 20 homes with us and put offers in on so many of them too. Without him, we wouldn’t have succeeded in this crazy market! We are first time homeowners, working with a VA loan, and he was able to offer tons of advice and gave us answers to all of our questions. If you’re looking for a home here in Hawaii, Micah is the go to guy! ??
I was first introduced to Micah by my mortgage lender after explaining to him that I wasn't having any luck selling my home with my current realtor. The realtor I was working with posted the listing to the MLS, did some open houses but wasn't able to attract a buyer. After deciding to work with Micah and Paradise Brokers, he put together a great marketing plan and created a top-notch video and custom website that ultimately helped sell my house for over the asking price within just 7 days on the market. If you're looking for a realtor that will go above and beyond to not only help you sell fast but also for the highest price possible, you should definitely hire Micah and his team. Thanks again Micah!
My husband and I are so fortunate to have found Micah. He was instrumental in our recent purchase of a lot and sale of a penthouse condo in Kakaako, both of which were complex and challenging properties. He guided us through each process with grace and ease, and we felt informed and hopeful at every turn. We were nervous about selling our condo because of building litigation, but it was no match for Micah's skills as a realtor, as it sold quicker than we ever imagined. His marketing strategy and implementation were of the highest caliber. His communication style, attention to detail, knowledge, and tactfulness are like no other. He was professional, kind, and gracious in every interaction and fought hard for us when needed. Micah is undoubtedly a rockstar realtor. I can't recommend him enough!
I purchased two investment properties this year and used Micah for both purchases. Overall my experience working with Micah was very positive. He was able to help me acquire both of my properties within a short period of time and he demonstrated a strong sense of expertise throughout the process. One of my purchases had some complications at the last minute which caused delays and Micah was able to handle the issue and get us back on track. Micah was also very responsive and patient and he knew our leverage points in the transaction which helped tremendously during negotiations. I would use Micah again in a heartbeat and if you're looking for a skilled real estate agent for your purchase or sale, I'd recommend you give him a call.
