We chose her not only on the basis of her fine reputation, but from our personal experience encountering her some years earlier as a listing agent for a property we were considering then as buyers. We realized we would want Sue to be the one to sell our house for us at some point in the future because of her gracious personality, expertise, and professionalism. Sure enough, she has just done a great job, from the marketing to the contracting to the closing! It all went better than we hoped for. I would certainly recommend her as a buyer's agent too - Sue was a pleasure to work with and we could rely on her exceptional experience in the Kona market to guide us at every turn. She gave us confidence throughout, and we were very pleased with her success.

She spent time getting to know us and what we wanted and always reminded us that her goal was that we find the right house for us.

We probably won't be buying another house soon but our first call for any future real estate needs will be Sue Brown and her family!

His knowledge of the Hawaii real estate market is unmatched and he is a superb negotiator. The result is you will get five star representation and you can be sure that you will be getting the best deal possible whether buying or selling. I highly recommend you use Steve Ellison for your next Hawaii real estate purchase or sale. You will not regret it.

If you want to get on TV and never have an agent call you back, there is this place you can call.... Trust me I called them over and over. If you want real service, then I can't say enough about Lance and Kimi, if it wasn't for them, not sure we would be sitting in Paradise today!

She has a great work ethic, is efficient and is persistent in getting showings scheduled (no "Island time" with her!), is honest, quick to respond, and I highly value her opinions. One thing that impressed me most when viewing homes with Jennifer is how genuinely respectful she is of the sellers' and their homes.

From day one, Blake (the owner) was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful. I tend to be very particular about how our property is maintained and presented, and the entire team was always respectful, accommodating, and attentive to every request--no matter how detailed. A small example, but it meant a lot: I would often ask that fallen leaves be picked up from the front yard before guest arrivals, and without fail, it was always taken care of. That kind of consistent attention to detail speaks volumes. Most importantly, you could tell the staff genuinely cared--not just about the properties they managed, but about the homeowners and guests too. That level of care and dedication is rare, and it made all the difference. Highly recommend Knutson & Associates if you're looking for a dependable, client-focused property management company on the Big Island.
