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.

Even after a year of My 3 properties being sold, Howard has kept in touch and Emailed me specific…read moredocuments that I have requested from the sale. TOP NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE THANK YOU HOWARD!!!!!!

She really got to know us and what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect house. She was the one constant through the crazy roller coaster of home buying. When things got stressful with each step, she was always level-headed and was there to explain things and help us keep perspective. She was validating of any concerns we had and helped us find solutions. Honestly she is AMAZING and we are so grateful she was the one to walk us through this process. I recommend her 100% and cannot say enough positive things about her. We will always trust Misti for any realty needs we have in the future. Seriously, we are incredibly grateful!
