He was very proactive and checked in with us regularly to ensure all of our questions were answered. He went the extra mile and was able to get additional information from the seller's agent for us.

I am from California and the other family members were in Hawaii (one on a different island). Alon helped coordinate getting the properties listed for sale working diligently between the three family members. This was not an easy task and it took over three years to complete. It was a lot of work dealing with three clients as well as the property being in bad shape. He always kept myself and my family updated on every phase of the sale and was great at answering all questions that came up. Alon always kept a positive attitude under all circumstances. I highly recommend Alon for your realtor needs.

Reached out to Kahea about getting pre-approved so we could start looking for a home. Kahea was…read morereally responsive on the first few emails and told us exactly what she needed from us in order to get pre-approved and explained the process. After sending all of the documents that she requested we never heard from her again. I still feel really uncomfortable about giving someone copies of our W2s, tax returns and IDs and then literally never hearing from them again. It's really disappointing because Kahea came highly recommended from a few friends who had previously worked with her. The least she could have done was send a courtesy email to let us know she was unable to help us. I think it's extremely unprofessional to take someone's financial documents and then ghost them. I would not recommend Kahea to anyone who was serious about purchasing a home.

I'm 59 years old and I've used the services of many real estate agents in my time. Hank is hands…read moredown the best agent I've seen. He works tirelessly because he loves what he does. He is very responsive. He won't settle for a good deal, he will get you a great deal. He is an honest but tough negotiator. You want him in your corner, believe me. I've now purchased 4 properties through Hank and am very pleased with what I've been able to purchase through him. He knows the ups and downs of all the areas on the Big Island and beyond. If you're in the market to buy, you can't do better.

Tracey R. Kauahi Review…read more We have had the pleasure to work with Tracey on four separate occasions over the past several years. During these instances, Tracey has provided a range of services for us, acting as an agent for a buyer, representing us in the sale and purchase of select raw land, condominium vacation rental investment property and speculative home sale. We really can't say enough good things about Tracey. She is hard working and extremely professional and well versed in all elements of the real estate industry. Tracey is in touch with the local market and has developed a strong network of contacts. She is approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time. She displays a genuine entrepreneurial problem solving approach with honesty and integrity, coupled with hustle and subtle tenacity. Tracey is the real deal. Most recently, Tracy identified and negotiated the purchase of an ocean front lot for us that is seldom seen on the market, and we were in escrow within a 24-hour period. BOOM!!! Simply incredible and life changing. We highly recommend Tracey without reservation.

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...

My experience was…read morehassle-free and I will return to them for any future real estate services I might need -- buying or selling. I cannot recommend the folks at Big Island highly enough. I worked with Suzanne Paulsen, who is a God-send. She is both a consummate professional and a trustworthy confidant. She understood exactly what I was looking for and did not waste my time showing me homes that were not right. She anticipated my needs through the whole process, and always had my best interests at heart. I was continuously impressed by how well Suzanne knows the real estate market on the Big Island and how well connected she is. I highly, highly recommend anybody thinking of buying or selling property on the Big Island to call Suzanne at Big Island. It'll be the smartest move you'll ever make. She will be in your corner 100%! Just an incredible person, filled with Aloha!

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. If you are looking to buy or sell on the Big Island eastside we would not hesitate a second to recommend Big Island, in fact you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't at least talk to them when deciding who to represent you. Tons of Aloha & Mahalo to Big Island Homes and Land!

My father had to sell his Hilo house, tasked to get it sold as the trustee. I was very fortunate to…read morecome across Porsche, born and raised in Hilo, and knew the market and area. House in Hilo and I living in California made the task challenging since I like to be involved in each step. She listed the house on a Friday and got three offers in two days, and we accepted one of the offers above our listing price. The process proceeded on track, with Porsche keeping me updated throughout the process. Unfortunately, one week before the closing, the buyer had issues with their loan, resulting in relisted due to no fault on our side. The new listing happened two days later, and we had three offers for more than the first listing. We accepted one that was a VA loan. This process went smooth but required some maintenance due to the loan's VA requirements, which Porsche resolved quickly. This time we closed and were very pleased with the process and how Porsches handled the setback with the first listing and the eventual closing. I would highly recommend Porsche to help you sell or buy your next home. See the professional presentation made of the house. https://mlsvideo.vids.io/videos/a79ddbb21015ebcb2e/1245-honua-st_mls-650558?fbclid=IwAR2JYGSF9GrCJi5PHi_ztuxLG04uI4qOQVNM-J8Atn1qoD0xZXqjwgNz_SE

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
