About Tom

My Philosophy: Trust Over Transactions 

Since 2007, I have defined my real estate career not by the commissions I’ve earned, but by the lifelong trust I’ve built across Oahu. As a military veteran, I lead with discipline and a 'client-first' mission: I will never push you into a sale. In fact, my reputation is built on telling clients when to walk away from the wrong deal. While others focus on the transaction, I focus on your long-term success, offering expert guidance across every neighborhood on the island.

Strategic Expertise meets Island Insight 

My journey on Oahu began in 1995 when I moved here for military service. Originally from Iowa, the transition to island life and my years in the U.S. Army gave me a firsthand understanding of the unique challenges faced by families relocating to Hawaii. Before real estate, I honed my expertise in customer service, financial analysis, and negotiation at world-class organizations including Bank of Hawaii, General Electric, and Frito-Lay. Today, I utilize those strategic insights to ensure my clients—from residential buyers to active real estate investors—succeed in achieving their goals with peace of mind.

Areas of Expertise

  • Military Relocations & VA Loans

  • Real Estate Investments & Portfolio Strategy

  • Repeat Clientele & Multi-Generational Guidance

  • Strategic Negotiation & Financial Analysis

  • Comprehensive Oahu Market Expertise (Island-Wide)

Beyond Real Estate 

I believe strongly in giving back to the community that has given me so much. I am proud to be a volunteer instructor at the Hawaii Home Ownership Center and a regular donor at the Blood Bank of Hawaii. When I’m not helping clients, you can usually find me embracing Hawaii's outdoor lifestyle—whether I'm paddling an outrigger canoe, surfing, or hiking Oahu's beautiful trails. On Oahu, experience matters — but integrity changes everything.

What My Clients Say

★★★★★
"I really can’t say enough about the incredible experience I had in listing and selling my home with Tom Presler. I’m very particular and it’s difficult for me to find trustworthy professionals that meet my standards. Tom exceeded my expectations in every case. His excellent communication and deep knowledge of his industry and the real estate market on Oahu, strong relationships with service providers, attention to detail and quality, super-hard work ethic, and empathy were more than I could have imagined. He is the consummate professional and I’m truly grateful that I met him and entrusted him with my transaction, I could not have asked for more. Besides that, he is a super-nice guy and
wonderful person. Thank you so much to Tom for everything." - Susan Constantinides

★★★★★
"Over the past 15 years, my wife and I have bought and sold many properties. From our first contact with Tom to the final closing, Tom was one of the best agents we have ever worked with. He lined up and showed us a number of properties that met our criteria, then helped talk through the various pros and cons of each unit to narrow our choices to make a decision, and then went “above and beyond” to help review and point out important terms and conditions in all the homeowners documents – house rules, financial statements, buy-laws, etc. Throughout the process, Tom was very communicative and worked diligently to resolve any and all concerns to our satisfaction. We highly recommend him!" - Jerry & Katherine Brocklehurst

★★★★★ 
"We used Tom twice, when we were first looking for a house in Kailua and used him again three years later when we moved back to the mainland and needed to sell the house. He was fantastic for both transactions. We have bought and sold many houses over the years due to career moves and Tom is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. He is a straight shooter, extremely professional at all times, totally responsive and  always goes beyond expectations. Seven years later and we still compare every sales person we deal with to Tom, and no one can top him, he is simply the best." - Sharon & Jim Thomson

★★★★★ 
"Living in CA, selling a condo in Hawaii, was not going to be a cake walk. But that was my thought before contacting Tom. Tom handled my  Hawaii realty transaction with such expertise, knowledge, & diligence! It was easier than buying a car! Tom was always available to answer my questions & to guide me. He was able to facilitate all things that involved this transaction from recommendations for moving companies to the final doc signing. Though my experience in selling the condo is bittersweet, things change in life. But thanks to Tom, this chapter of my life was most pleasant. It was a joy to interact with him & his capable and knowledgeable team. Mahalo Nui Loa Tom!" - Sheila Young
