One June 2, 2008- Koki was selected by REALTOR Magazine as one of the thirty most talented, up-and-coming realtors in the U.S. This year's "30 Under 30" honorees outshone their competitors from a pool of 400 applicants. Selection criteria for the annual award include business success, professional leadership, and community involvement.

Adasi-Efuya's award comes only three years into his real estate career after a year of significant professional achievement and community service. In 2007, Adasi-Efuya logged $6.3 million in sales, selling every house he placed on the market. He also began serving on the YMCA Youth & Family Services Board of Directors and continued his tenure on the Community Service Committee for the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors where he's served for the past two years. His other volunteer activities include coaching the Junior Varsity basketball team at The Bullis School, volunteering with autistic children at The Forbush School at Oakmont, speaking to at-risk high school students and preparing food at DC Central Kitchen.

Since the beginning of this year, Adasi-Efuya has maintained those volunteer activities and expanded his commitment to community service. In January, he co-founded the Germantown-based Kare-A-Lot Foundation (www.showukare.com) with which he aims to raise money and social compassion by selling "Show U Kare" t-shirts. He and his business partner have pledged to personally donate $250,000 this year to Montgomery County charities from t-shirt sales and related fundraising.

Adasi-Efuya became a realtor after working in accounting at Bethesda's Seawright Homes (a subsidiary of Clark Construction) and realizing he preferred a more people-oriented job.

"What I love about selling real estate is interacting with my clients. The relationships I've built are phenomenal. It isn't work. I don't think of myself as a salesperson, but as a consultant who is helping my clients make one of the biggest decisions of their lives," Adasi-Efuya said.

Adasi-Efuya was one of only two African-Americans selected for 2008's "30 Under 30."

Testimonials

Mike Boccabello
"When I hired my first realtor I was both optimistic and naive. I thought that my home would sell very quickly as it was in model home condition and was priced correctly. It took me 15 months with that realtor to find the latter was incorrect. We were always behind the curve with the price and although the house was pristine, I didn't receive any offers.Then I Hired Koki, he took the time to not only to provide me with comps but he explained the relevance to my pricing decisions. He taught me the difference between 'asking price ' and 'net price' and with his detailed market analysis I knew that what I wanted for the home (emotional) was not what homes were selling for in my area (realistic) .We worked together and within 2 months we had our first offer and it sold after four months. I am so glad that I took the opportunity to work with a forward thinking upwardly mobile professional that knew what it would take to sell my home and committed to do so. Koki deserves my highest recommendation and I would actively suggest that you give him a chance to work as hard for you as he did for me."

Peter & Lisa Murphy
"Lisa and I appreciated your professionalism, honesty and straight-forward communication. You didn't hold back the "bad news" about a realistic sale price, the impact of the Inter-County Connector, or what our competition was offering for benefits and closing cost subsidies. Your progressive and varied marketing approach gained much interest in our home, and working with your "Staging" partner proved most effective. We've bought and sold several homes, and without a doubt, you were the most pro-active and effective Realtor we've worked with."

Margaret Anyuka
"Koki, I'm writting you this, first to thank you so much for making a difference in my life. When I was refered to you by my friend Ron, I really thought to my self what type of person I was going to get and if that person would work with me freelly, brotherly or sisterly. I thank God that when I saw you I accepted to work with you. One of the things I saw in you was your professional look and approach was great, you were really orderly to me. You made this process of me buying a home become so easy to me. You made me really know why I was buying a house through your questions to me when we met on the first day. You helped me find a house where exactly I wanted. You really listened to me very carefully. You told me what I can afford, you remember me saying "I don't want to keep awake at night thinking pay for my mortgage"I think you remember that. You made me get what I could afford.
Thank you for making me know more on how to be a home owner. Thank you for being with me upto the last day of the closing, and still you did follow up how good are you!! I really appreciate and hope to work with you inthe near future."

Ken & Laurie DeStefano
"Over the past year or so, Koki assisted our family with both the sale of our existing home, as well as the purchase of our new residence. Needless to say, moving to a new location can place a great deal of stress on the family, and although this transition was not without its challenges, Koki was able help manage our move smoothly due to the fact he is organized, extremely competent, and has an excellent rapport with people.

Koki is an intelligent, dedicated, and personable real estate professional, and I wouldnÿt hesitate utilizing his services again for our real estate needs in the future. "
