In addition I would like to say that simply meeting Jared was a great experience and I'm going to miss being in touch with him from time to time.

Tons of Aloha & Mahalo to Big Island Homes and Land!

I recently semi-retired and moved from San Francisco to Hilo, and picked Howard to work with…read morelargely on the basis of reviews here on Yelp. It was a somewhat bumpy ride, but Howard was a steady hand throughout. He was great at explaining things common in Hilo that I had no experience with in San Francisco, like catchment water systems and flood and lava zones. I really needed someone who could walk me through that sort of local knowledge, and Howard was great at it. He was also great at flagging potential concerns with some of the homes I looked at, catching a number of potential issues that would have escaped me. Things got messy because of unexpected delays in the sale of my house in SF, the proceeds of which were paying for my home in Hilo, causing us to have to negotiate a delay. The sellers in Hilo were house-flippers and, frankly, jerks. Howard -- very much the soft-spoken and polite gentleman -- kept very much on top of things but seemed not to be used to dealing with such ****heads. We got through it, but I did need to make a couple executive decisions on my own to bring things to a close. But those circumstances were pretty unusual (trust me, you don't want to hear the details). Howard is a pro -- calm, knowledgeable and helpful.

She was actually referred to me by another PM on Oahu. I have fired countless property management companies over the years for pure negligence and lying. It takes time to find the good ones. I wont say all the great things she has done for me because everyone may ask her. All I will say is show her a little aloha and she will be good to you. Good luck if you dont hire her. Alot of BS in Hilo with property management and CBIP accounting system is consistent and predicatable. They do one thing that I really like but I wont put it on here. Call Felicia and ask her all your questions...

Owner refused to fix broken dishwasher and leaking ice maker in fridge. Clark realty switched agents on us from move in to move out and they are going with what the owner claims ( apparently they thought everything was perfect and spotless). Pre-move in cleaning was not up to par but they claim their cleaners are impeccable. Found broken glass and years of dirt when we had to move the fridge and stove to clean. I will never recommend Clark realty to anyone and will be sure to post reviews so anyone coming to this island knows how they operate so they don't have to deal with the same issues and nonsense.

Poor communication with tenants and poor time management on informing tenants (or from my…read moreexperience) of when heavy construction will take place. Not sure who your property manager is for your apartment/ property, but the experience Ive had (along with the people i live with) agreed that property professionals did not seem "professional" at all. I noticed a few other reviews feel the same and so Im relieved to know I am not alone feeling this way. Unless, and to be frank, you view "professional" as being cold business and just the "deal- deal" talk. I felt like the last minute notice (email, text, especially call) is inconvenient, although I always say its okay. I do not know why as well they switch from email everyone to calling everyone (but I guess for last minute you cannot control?) If you dont speak up they favor you are better anyway. Or at least I think so no because the first few time when I did care I had no body contact me back, UNTIL I found out the managers REAL contact information. (Tricky, huh?). Still not sure till this day why they didn't respond the first couple months of being switched from our previous original building company but it's whatever I guess... Renovation on the building I live in had poor construction workers in my opinion. (mess was made without warning).... Rent was raised because of the renovation but I feel like they should have relocated everyone to a different building while having them work on the harder renovation which most of us in the building probably had to tolerate with all the hammering, power saw, cement dusting cement that got splattered ALL OVER the walls doors and windows- had to clean the door and whole place because cement dust got everywhere, no-one knocked or called to clean the door, it was hard). It is annoying as well to hear most the construction workers laughing and joking and talking story majority the time they get here before even beginning to work... But eh. Whatever? I did not feel like they treat everyone with the same PRIORITY so just beware. Although it would be nice to know WHY. Otherwise I feel like my life is a spiral of being messed with for no reason at all. I think its fair to rate 3 stars, though I was close to rating just one star (but lets put my own frustrations about the renovations and poor communication aside) because there were times I complained of people smoking near the building and animals on the premises and I guess I was helped because an email to everyone in the building was sent the next day. Whoever was smoking didn't stop smoking though, but I appreciate and respect that effort. (Another star for the small Christmas presents so far. They know how to bribe you. Haha just kidding. But seriously). I might be taking a poor jump here posting it on social media but I honestly don't not know where else I can write a review. I guarantee if anyone knew this was written about them they would probably change (which is good). But if they don't change-- uh oh (drama~). Thanks for reading my review
