Vice President of Sales at Agora Hawaii, working with buyers, sellers and investors across Honolulu — from a first condo in Makiki to a two-home investment lot in Pauoa Valley.
Paul Sebastian has spent the past fifteen years helping people identify what they actually want in a home, and then showing them how to find it. Clients tend to describe him the same way: the person who gets the best deal possible and stays with them until the end.
He leads the sales division at Agora Hawaii, a Honolulu brokerage founded in 2011 and built around a simple idea — bringing people together. The team handles single-family homes, condominiums, walk-up units and new condo developments for buyers, sellers and investors across Oahu.
Paul is fluent in English and also speaks Tagalog and Visayan. Away from the office he is usually with friends and family, at the beach, hiking, or working through a new restaurant somewhere on the island.

Listings are represented by Paul D. Sebastian (RS-75423) of Agora Hawaii. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed; prices and status change.
Agora Hawaii specializes in condominiums, houses and beach homes across the south and east shores of Oahu.
We start with what you want, the timeline, and the budget you are actually comfortable with — before looking at a single listing.
Buyers get a curated shortlist off the Honolulu MLS. Sellers get a pricing and presentation plan built from live comparables.
Offer, counter, inspection, appraisal. The goal is the best deal possible on terms that hold together to closing.
Escrow, documents, walkthrough, keys. You hear from us the whole way, and after — most of our business comes from people we have already worked with.
Tell us what you are looking for, or what you are thinking of selling. Paul will get back to you personally.
Agora Hawaii works across Oahu, with most activity in Honolulu — Kakaʻako, Waikiki, Ala Moana, Makiki, Pauoa Valley and Hawaii Kai. If you are looking somewhere else on the island, ask; if it is not a fit we will say so.
Yes, regularly. A first condo purchase gets the same attention as a seven-figure sale — often more, because there is more to explain: maintenance fees, land tenure, reserve studies, house rules and what a lender will and will not accept.
Fee simple means you own the land under the unit. Leasehold means you are buying the right to use it for a set term, with lease rent and a surrender date. Both trade on Oahu and price very differently. We flag tenure on every property we show you.
From live Honolulu MLS comparables: recent closed sales in the building or immediate area, what is currently competing with you, and how long similar properties are taking to sell. Then we set a number that gets showings in the first two weeks, when attention is highest.
It depends on price band and property type. As one recent data point, the two-bedroom at Koula that Paul represented went from list to sold in 18 days. Financed purchases typically need another 30 to 45 days in escrow after an accepted offer.
Yes. Agora Hawaii’s roots are in property management, and Paul currently represents a two-home investment lot in Pauoa Valley. We look at rent potential, condition, zoning and holding costs, not just purchase price.
Compensation and agreements are discussed openly before you tour anything, and are set out in writing. There are no surprise fees, and you will know exactly who is paying what before you make an offer.
