I did not know Erika before this purchase. I met Erika when I showed interest in one of her listings that ended up not being right for our family. Erika listened to what I was looking for and actually referred me to inquire of a listing that was not hers. I knew right then Erika was an ethical person who would put my interests first! We asked Erika to be our agent that day. Erika knows the properties on the Kohala coast like the back of her hand. She also knows the local agents and how to interact with them to help advance my needs, but be respectful of the seller & seller's agent at the same time. When things got sticky, Erika jumped in to help get things done, period. Sometimes I felt like Erika was doing the job of the selling and buying agent at the same time (she certainly is capable), but Erika did whatever I needed to help the sale close. Erika responds to every call and email within minutes, even though we were in different time zones. You can "hear" her smile through the phone. Erika facetime'ed me so I could get a feel of the place we were purchasing, sight unseen. She sent me videos and gave me honest feedback throughout the entire process. By truly listening to our competing priorities, Erika helped us to pick a place that was perfect for our needs. Erika was great to work with, I dare say like working with family. Erika is responsive, caring, efficient and organized. We trusted her and she took us all the way to closing, smoothly. I could not have been more pleased with the service provided by Erika. I would refer her to my family and friends without hesitation.
