Highly recommend this company and ask for Mike he is a really nice guy and knowledgeable with construction and codes for homes.

The men showed up on time and were very courteous. I highly recommend them.

Danette is the leading real estate agent for Princeville, Kaua'i, and handles the entire island…read more She mostly works with clients by direct referral and word of mouth vs dumping thousands of dollars in marketing ads. She doesn't need to; once a client works with her, no one else will do. She has a tremendously loyal following, especially in the luxury ($5M-$25M) market. We are grateful to have found Danette to help us navigate. She is reliable and always looks out for her clients' best interests. She has a high degree of integrity and is well versed in the fluctuating real estate market in Kaua'i. She is creative on terms and problem solving and is super responsive. In addition to being a phenomenal realtor, Danette is a gem of a human being surrounded by a great team and a wonderful family.

I couldn't recommend Ron and his team more strongly to anyone looking to buy a home on Kauai.

Working with Anne Eliason was one of the best decisions we made in this entire home buying process…read more We were buying from out of state, which could have been a nightmare, but Anne made it feel manageable the whole way through. She put in a ton of time for us including walking the property, helping us think through tradeoffs, coordinating inspections, and staying on top of every detail. She was always responsive and gave us straight, honest input, which I really value. What stood out most is that she genuinely cared about getting us into the right home, not just closing a deal. There were multiple points in the process where her guidance made a real difference, and I don't think we would have landed this house without her. Even after closing, she's continued to help us get settled and navigate things locally, which says a lot. If you're looking for someone who will put in the work, be honest with you, and actually advocate for your best outcome, I'd strongly recommend Anne.

We have purchased many properties over the last 10 years and Anne's experience, thoroughness and "easy to work with" attitude was the BEST! We felt that when any issue came up, she had an answer or a person who could get us an answer. She also has an impressive list of island contractors who can help out with any work that needs to be done. We hope to purchase more properties on Kauai and if we do, Anne is our FIRST and ONLY call!

Pane Road Hale review. Everything went well with our rental…read morewith Kauai Vacation rentals. As for our rental it was very nice. Old with a very outdated kitchen but is was perfect for a family of 5 including older kids. It was close enough to the beach to walk and there were plenty of chairs and boogie boards in the garage.

Husband and I were purchasing our first home. We have a growing family and needed a bigger home…read morethan what we had. We found a home and was ready to get it. We began working with Katherine for a USDA loan and she basically told us we were okay as far as requirements/income etc. However, our realtor (Joy from Sothebys) insisted we go to another lender because she "didn't have a good feeling about Katherine" So we went to another lender and did everything we needed only to waste our time and NOT get approved and delayed 2 more weeks. So we went back to Katherine who already got our "conditional" approval. Both our realtor and the sellers (Eric Yama-Kauai Realty) were VERY pushy with Katherine and putting a LOT of pressure on her and DEMANDING things. Which she DID get done and on time. Yet when it came to getting paperwork needed from others it wasn't as "pressured" as they did to Katherine. It was obvious that nobody believed Katherine could get us a loan. We had a lot of debt we acquired since our pre-kid days but we did whatever we needed to do in order to GET approved. In the end Katherine DID get us approved for the loan yet even when she told them we were approved they (realtors) were still pressing at her. I absolutely LOVE Katherine and would HIGHLY recommend her especially if you are purchasing your first home. She was honest and upfront with us the entire time. She worked HARD for us and did what needed to be done to get the loan. We live in Līhu'e and have 3 kids (age 5 and under) and there were times I had to go back and forth to Kapa'a twice even three times a day to sign new paperwork but it was all worth it! MAHALO NUI LOA Katherine for giving us the chance to actually OWN a home on our homeland :) I am hawaiian blood and thought that the only way I could ever buy a home here was through Hawaiian Home Lands (which has a LONG waiting list and process) but Katherine helped us get the house that WE wanted. TWO THUMBS, 5 STARS to this woman!!

Only critique is that 2 overhead light bulbs were burned out. I found new bulbs in the supply closet and replaced them. Condo is located on the Makai golf course.

Despite these shortcomings I plan to return next year.

I recently used this realty agency for a 2 week vacation home rental for the second time. It…read moreappears that the first time, "we just lucked out" because the home we rented had been newly renovated. We were very excited to have the experience again and paid 2,600/week for a wonderful looking rental next to the beach. The price of this property was in line given location and size relative to the others listed on their website. NOT. We arrived at a house which was much older than appeared in the pictures on the website (scary flashback to online dating experience right now). It was a 2 bedroom with an additional master suite loft; we quickly discovered that one of the bedrooms was filled with mold as one of our party cannot tolerate it and couldn't go into that room. The floor in that room was not redone like the rest of the house; it was faded linoleum with what looked like cigarette burns all over it. Upon moving one of the beds to another room so that it could be used, there was a hole about the size of a golf ball that led directly under the house. Now in Kauia in this kind of house that actually means it leads outside, as there is no built basement AT ALL. Within three days, one of the burners on the electric (eek) stove had burnt out, the ballasts on the fluorescent lights in the bathroom and kitchen were fried (they're old, just fiddle with it a bit to turn it on said the realty - ??! huh?? I don't want to do that on vacation) and the dryer blew out. The worse is in this tropical paradise, we discovered many of the screens in the door and skylights had holes in them, so mosquitoes were streaming in day and night. The house had no broadband and promised a BBQ, which turned out to be an old portable hibachi that had rusted out, under the house. We had to call the realty to bring us another one. When asked why they would rent a house in such disrepair for this amount of money, they said, they do not really manage this house, they merely handle the bookings. What I ask is the point in renting a house all the way from New York City with an agency which can't quality control the condition of a property???

I was walking to the beach and on the way there was an open house sign. I went there and looked at…read morethe condo and in the first 5 minutes I knew I wanted to buy it and had to make an offer immediately. So who to call will answer the phone immediately. Moksha was first on my mind because I used her previously and her services were prompt, clear, impeccable, explanation of every detail, and immediate. Moksha answered my phone call immediately, and to make a long story short the sale happened. I requested to make an offer and noted some things need to be updated. Moksha communicated with the seller's agent promptly and the offer was placed. Throughout the entire process Moksha was attentive and gave immediate attention to every question we had about the condo and closing. It was a tremendous help, especially since my husband had many many questions, and she responded immediately to whatever came from the seller, seller's agent, or the title company. We are extremely pleased with Moksha's service she provided throughout the entire process with a great deal of knowledge in real estate regarding approach ??? buyer, seller, and escrow/title company. We also were very relaxed while working with Moksha. Her attitude, communication, always came with a smile. Very comforting when investing in a large purchase. Moksha you did not sway from gracefulness, professionalism and knowledge, just like the very first time you helped us to buy a house here in Princeville. Definitely one of the best real estate agents to work with. We have been buying property for 20 years and we do know the difference between the good and the best.

She knows a ton about the HI market, and never once gave us bad information. She worked on our behalf tirelessly, on and off of business hours. She negotiated a great discount off of list price for our family. She taught us a lot about how to see value in homes in HI (it's different from the mainland!) and gave us great market insights in both Kauai and Oahu. Moksha's thoroughness, commitment, integrity, bubbly demeanor, negotiation chops and flat out refusal to quit make her a gem of a person not just as a realtor but also as a person. We would want her on our team forever if we could have it our way- but we're glad she's moving on to do the same for the next family that she did for our family. We can't express our gratitude enough for the commitment and integrity Moksha showed us. She's earned every positive thing people (and we) have to say about her.
