What are your business hours?
Do you work with buyers, sellers, and investors?
Yes. We represent homebuyers, home sellers, first-time buyers, out-of-state buyers, investors, and vacation-rental buyers. For investors and second-home buyers, we can seamlessly connect your purchase with Big Island Stays for management, Moxie Mortgage for financing, and First Hawaii Title for closing—all under one coordinated umbrella.
What makes The Hawai‘i Team different from other real estate groups?
We combine deep local market expertise, full-service transaction support, and luxury-level marketing with a unique, four-part solution: real estate sales, financing, title, and property management. Our marketing for properties is unmatched by anyone in the market, and our ability to reach the right qualified buyers is far above what our competition can deliver. We stay involved from your first call through closing and then beyond, managing and protecting your investment for the long term.
Do you help out-of-state or remote buyers?
Yes. We regularly work with mainland and international clients. We offer virtual showings, digital consultations, detailed neighborhood guidance, and full remote transaction support. Once you close, our property management company, Big Island Stays, can oversee and care for your home until you are on the island or ready to rent.
Do you assist with short-term vacation rental (STVR) properties?
Yes. We guide clients through STVR-eligible properties, county requirements, permit processes, and rental potential. When you are ready to rent, Big Island Stays can take over day-to-day management, marketing, guest communication, and operations, giving you a true turnkey investment.
How does your buying process work?
We start with a consultation to understand your goals, timeline, and budget. From there, we set up targeted property searches, schedule showings (in person or virtual), prepare offers, negotiate terms, and manage your escrow process through closing. When appropriate, we introduce you to our partner Moxie Mortgage to explore competitive financing and to First Hawaii Title for a seamless closing. For second-home and investment buyers, we also discuss a management plan with Big Island Stays so your property is income-ready from day one.
How does your selling process work?
Do you provide a free home valuation?
How much experience does The Hawai‘i Team have?
Our team has extensive experience in West Hawai‘i real estate and has helped clients buy and sell homes across Kona and the Kohala Coast. Over the past several years, we have successfully represented numerous buyers and sellers in some of the most sought-after resort and coastal communities, with a strong track record in both primary residences and vacation-rental properties. We have completed nearly 1,300 real estate transactions across multiple states, with more than $115M sold along the Kona Coast in the past four years.
