Kristine was a fabulous choice to represent us in our transaction. As soon as I chose her, she went to work at full speed and we got offers two days after the listing went up. She gave us great advice and we ended up selling in less than a week at a fair price that we were very happy with. All through the sale she kept us apprised of every step. We can highly recommend her.

I typically never leave reviews whether positive or negative unless my experience has been extraordinary in either direction. With Kristine, I am pleased to say that my experience was extraordinarily positive. She went above and beyond as a realtor to help my family and I find a residence in the Kailua Kona market. She is extremely knowledgeable of market trends, market valuations, as well Hawaii real estate procedures. Most importantly I felt that I could trust her knowing that she had my best interest in mind. Given that I was located on the East Coast, Kristine made sure I stayed updated with the Kona market by completing the following: 1. sending me a list of recommended properties which met my purchase criteria, 2. sending me information on new listings as soon as it became available, 3. taking video showings of properties for which I had interest in but could not physically tour, and 4. periodically having calls with me to discuss desired and upcoming listing. Furthermore, Kristine was able to recommend multiple contacts, which could assist in securing the financing for this transaction. Finally, she helped me strategies and negotiate the purchase of the desired property. She diligently took the time to explain Hawaii’s onerous offer to purchase contract, my responsibilities, the seller’s responsibilities, as well as the expectations after the property is under contract. She secured the services of a building inspector, termite inspector, and title company. She did a permit search with county to ensure the property in question is not encumbered by unfinished work. She worked diligently with my lender to ensure all necessary requirement were fulfilled. She constantly communicated with me, my lender, the title company, as well as the sellers on the progress of the transaction. At no point did I feel uncertain of what was going, even though I was separated by 5 time zones and 4,600 miles. Finally, it is important to keep in mind that she did all of this amid the COVID-19 crises. Thank you, Kristine, for all your hard work

Kristine was the ultimate agent you'd want on your side. Our move to the Big Island was sort of sudden - we were married and moved! Needed a place right away. She stayed on top of the market, even finding us a place before it was listed, so that we were only a short time with no place to call home. And what a home she was able to find us! We feel it's the perfect location for our small family, someplace we could afford, but lovely condition and setting. We couldn't be happier. Thank you Kristine for your keen sense of what we were looking for, needed and your willingness to extend yourself for us. Much appreciated.

Where to begin? Simply put, Kristine's service to us in selling our condo was nothing short of exemplary. Even now, I'm having difficulty finding words to express how enjoyable was our experience in working with Kristine. I was even late in posting this review because, subconsciously, I don't want to let her go.

About Kristine

Living in Hawaii is a lifestyle choice. The majority of buyer and sellers in Hawaii are off island. Therefore it's extremely important to choose a Real Esate Professional that you can trust and who understands your Real Estate and lifestyle goals. I'm originally from Denver, Colorado. After three days of visiting the island, my husband and I decided to move to Kona with our two dogs. We love the island, the diversity, ocean sports and year round golf. Snowboarding down Mauna Kea was an experience we will continue to do. I enjoy exploring the option of buying and selling with all my future clients.
