It is with great pleasure that I recommend to you Carol Taylor Kim to receive this prestigious Award for Distinguished Service in the field of Real Estate. Carol represented me and my property at 2854 Park Street in Nuuanu Valley, and from listing to escrow she kept a steady focus on the process and an exceptional sensibility towards the property. One of Carol's many strengths is organization and in prepping the house, she drew upon a personal stable of gifted craftspeople for carpentry, interior touch-up painting, and installation of new carpet. Her schedule included washing the exterior of the house and clearing channels in the auwai. With a friend, she staged the house beautifully and invited brokers and the public to a number of open houses. In the first week, we had five credible offers. In the end, the first offer, all cash, prevailed. I believe my property, "A Gem in Nuuanu" (her words), was perfectly represented by Ms. Taylor Kim. Carol's sense of this house's history from 1924 to 2024, its special "mana", Its Indigenous garden, and an away running with water as it had once irrigated properties of the Ali'i carried her listing of this place with honor and deep respect. I am grateful to her for her sensitivity to me at every turn as I bid farewell to a place in my heart.
