She kept encouraging us when we were ready to give up in this seller's market. She never stopped looking for "the right house" for us. She worked closely with our lender to ensure that we were competitive in submitting our offers. We trusted her so much that we bought our house sight-unseen, just through FaceTime!
She is simply the best at providing the facts and eating that frog. She will always be our go to agent. Geoff & Katherine Graves
We absolutely enjoyed working with her. We 100% recommend her!
She feels like a family member.This whole process was almost stress free, because Akala did everything. Thank you so much!!!
She had fast response times, and was amazing at educating me about the market, inspections, my random "don't know" questions, and what was coming next. She made the home buying process so easy and painless. Now when I am looking for a new home I compare my realtors to her. She was very professional and personable. Thank you for helping me in an area where I had no experience!
Akala was there every step of the way. She was supportive, communicative and ensured I was part of the process the whole time.
She rose to the occasion and went beyond whenever rough spots arose. Thanks to her expertise, I'm now living in my dream home.
Always answered the phone. And answered every question
From helping me sort through all the options on the market, putting in offers, all the way to being there to help me with the closing/signing. She is an awesome agent and a great help. She was friendly, personable, and genuinely cared about finding me the best home that fit my needs. Thank you Long Realty for sharing her with me and helping me find my first home!
.as she always has been.
Capable, organized and energetic. Great job of staging the house. She was onto every problem that came up and solved every one of them in time for the closing. Her communication was great. She was amazing to work with.
She gave great advice that led to us selling our home within 30 hours. She keep in touch with us on almost a daily basis and informed us of every step. I can not recommend her more. I would absolutely use her again.
She went above and beyond what our expectations.
!! From start to finish, Akala was incredible. She knows the local market and was enthusiastic, finding homes even when I'd lost hope. Akala offered professional and savvy advice, ensuring that I had the knowledge I needed to put my best foot forward when making an offer. Throughout the entire transaction she was amazing: excellent communicator, expert negotiator, and fun to work with! I have no doubt that the reason I'm now in my dream home is because of Akala. There will always be hurdles in real estate and you want Akala as your agent to navigate these. I'll be recommending Akala to everyone I know! THANK YOU!!!
She was always there for us 27/7. I would recommend Akala to anyone selling or buying any property.
We contacted her prior to our trip to Tuscon as we only had a week there to look at houses. She made time to learn about us and sift through our uncertainty to help us fine tune our preferences in a property. When we got back home and decided to make an offer on a house she went right to work for us and guided us through the whole process to make it as smooth as possible. Akala is also very friendly and has a great sense of humor and we feel like we made our first friend in Tuscon!
We began our homebuyers journey in the middle of the pandemic and had an unfortunate situation where a house purchase fell thru. Akala stuck with us through that and the rapid changes in the housing market until we were finally able to complete a purchase. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
We will never use another agent and have recommended Akala to our friends numerous times. Long Realty would suffer a great loss if she ever decided to leave!
She made herself available at all hours of the day. She answered every question in a way I could fully understand everything. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their home in Tucson,Az.
I will have to say that she is a very hard worker and is on top of things quickly. I love her communication skills and how she cares about her clients…Akala thank you for everything you did for us and making our dream home come true! P.s. I love my personalized sign you made me for my garage❤️
Her knowledge, experience and professionalism made this another well done transaction.
Always very communicative and on top of things. Highly highly recommend
!! She goes above and beyond and we can’t wait to do more transactions with her.
She is a very hard working, determined and professional agent with and extremely personable personality. I cannot say enough how great she performed on this matter....this is the 3rd transaction she’s handled for me and she just keeps getting better.....way to go Akala.
!
We couldn’t be more pleased.
She’s hands down the best agent we’ve ever worked with. I’m most impressed by her attention to details that matter to us when we’re searching for a property! She knows our time is valuable & makes the search efficient & meaningful, no fluff! She’s an open minded & creative thinker which benefits us in the process & negotiations. We’re always happy & satisfied with the results! Thank you Akala!
Akala was professional and personal! She made us feel comfortable and helped us every step of the way. We appreciated her honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. We would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Akala explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from the making the offer, negotiating in between, to working with the mortgage banker. Overall very professional, experienced and helpful agents and brokers. Highly recommend. Akala's provided exceptional service, was always punctual, and was incredibly responsive to our queries. She turned which could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable experience. We felt very well taken care of by Akala. She was always available and went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable throughout the process. We are very satisfied with our purchase, thanks to Akala!
she never disappoints!
She made me feel like I was her only client while also being extremely detailed, making my first time home buying process as easy and through as possible. I work with dozens of different realtors as a handyman, but I chose to have Akala be my realtor due to the fact that she is the best at what she does. Extremely professional and a shining star in the fact that she holds herself to the upmost standards. I will be using her again on my next home purchase and referring her to anyone I know in need of a realtor. Thank you for reading my statement.
Highly recommend her to find the right home for you. I have been a realtor for over 40 years I know a great agent when I work with one and she is one of the best.
There are not enough great things I can say about the way she guided us through entire process. Which was shorter and more profitable than expected! She was way more than an agent. If you are shopping for an agent, your search should end here!

I will recommend her to all of my friends in the future!
She knew just what I needed to do at each stage of the process, and was skilled at communicating with me on my level (as an uneducated home buyer). I look forward to working with Akala and Long Realty again in the future.
She was focused on our needs and wishes, sensitive to our likes and dislikes, upfront and prompt with all information, and a really nice person! She is a high energy, go getter, intelligent and caring woman and we feel very lucky that she’s the one we found to help us find and buy our new home. A five star rating doesn’t quite cover how impressed we were with all she did. She put in 110% for us and we can’t recommend her more highly.
She was professional, knowledgable, and friendly. She was also available to answer any questions we had, and if she was not available, when we called or texted, she would response in a timely manner as to when she would be available. (And then she would follow up and answer our questions.)
She worked with various lenders to get me a loan tailored to my unique circumstance, and was everything I could hope for in a realtor. Personally, she is kind, responsive, and has a great sense of humor; professionally, she is incredibly knowledgable, organized, and detail oriented. I'm grateful she was my realtor.
She made an otherwise stressful event a lot of fun. Thanks so much to Akala and her team at Long Realty, a superb job done by all!
She is knowledgeable, understanding, caring, and honest. She has an energetic, positive attitude and is truly committed to finding the best fit possible. I'm not a first time home buyer, but this was my first time buying a home on my own. Akala answered all my questions and patiently helped me understand the processes and nuances of home buying. She worked with me, not just for me. Akala is phenomenal.
She went above and beyond, assisting our family in buying a home while we were out of town, with two young children, through a pandemic. Despite the many challenges that our unique situation presented, Akala was able to coordinate and guide us through the home buying process with ease. She found and helped us secure a beautiful home that we look forward to growing our family in, and we truly can't thank her enough!
She was recommended by a friend and for good reason and I’ve already recommended her to a friend of mine! She was wonderful and I can’t say enough good things about her!
Informing me along the way of transaction. She even tolerated my sense of humor. All together not a bad experience. PPIEW
