Sophia was recommended by a Big Island friend and am I ever glad that I followed through and contacted her! She was delightful and easy to work with the entire time, and with eight lots to sell we worked for quite awhile! She was generous with her commission rate because of the number of properties I brought for her to sell. Consideriiing all the work she ended up doing for me I think I got a good return for my money :-) Sophia did a great job determining fair market pricing, and writing and preparing the listings, so that my properties all sold in a very reasonable timeframe, either over list, just at, or a little under our listing prices . I was very satisfied with the results she got for me, and when title issues came up during some of the escrows she communicated often and kept me informed, and through it all took time to explain anything I didn't understand. Despite an exellent level of professionalism I felt I had a friend in Sophia who really was concerned about me. I think I will really enjoy meeting her in person as I anticipate some visits to the Big Island in my future. read more

I had a wonderful experience working with Sophia Yunis on the Big Island. Sophia truly cares about her clients and takes the time to understand what you're looking for. She was always patient, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local communities and the unique aspects of buying and selling property in Hawaii. What I appreciated most about Sophia was her honesty and her genuine commitment to helping every step of the way. She made the entire process feel much less stressful and was always available to answer questions or provide guidance. Her knowledge of the Big Island market and her attention to detail really stood out. Sophia goes above and beyond for her clients, and it shows in the way she handles every part of the transaction. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property on the Big Island. If you want someone trustworthy, professional, and truly dedicated, Sophia is the person to work with.

Buying a house is never a 'quick & easy' experience, and without expert assistance, the liklihood of either paying too much, or finding out after-the-fact that your 'dream home' has issues you weren't aware of - or both! - is almost a certainty. On a recommendation from the agent who sold our home on Oahu, we worked with Sophia to buy our new home on Big Island. Without exaggeration, Sophia is an absolute All Star: ~ Her knowledge of the local market saved us from making some big mistakes; ~ Her diligence literally saved us 10's of thousands of dollars - our new house appraised for almost $30k MORE than we paid; ~ Her non-stop efforts moved everything along as rapidly as possible, while ensuring NOTHING was missed or left to chance; ~ Her obvious integrity & professionalism continuously made it clear that she always had our best interests at heart! I could go on; suffice it to say, working with Sophia was the best thing we could have done! read more

This was my second opportunity to work with Sophia, this time around, as a seller. I couldn't be more pleased with the entire process from start to finish. Sophia's tireless dedication and attention to detail regularly surpassed my expectations. I had a very strict deadline and Sophia made sure that it was not only met but exceeded! The staging of my home turned out absolutely beautiful all thanks to Sophia. I greatly appreciated her ability to submit signings through Docusign for convenience and timeliness. Sophia is a seasoned veteran when it comes to real estate, and her insight into market conditions make her a truly invaluable asset and someone who I will rely on for many years to come. When it is time for buying or selling your home, make sure to give Sophia a call, her world class service is unmatched and I look forward to working with her in the future. read more

Sophia was everything we could imagine in a realtor. She was always available to answer any questions. She was incredibly prompt with everything (from scheduling the photographer for the day after we listed with her to putting out a preliminary notice to realtors less than a week after we listed and a caravan for realtors a week after we listed and then for an open house the following Sunday. That was all we needed and we got a perfect offer (everything we wanted). She is amazing and has a great attention to detail to be sure everything went smoothly for us and for our buyer. We closed escrow just 3 weeks and two days after we accepted our perfect offer. Sophia was always above and beyond explaining every step and always giving us all the information needed (but letting us make our own decisions). We just cannot say enough about Sophia Yunis. read more

Big Island Realtor", "Hawaii real estate agent", & "Keaau real estate agent" My mother died mid 2023 and I became the Personal Representative of her estate. One of the major responsibilities of the probate process was for me to sell Mom's now abandoned home. My probate lawyer recommended Sophia Yunis for this task and I could not be more thankful. I live in Portland, Oregon now and Mom's house was in Mt View, Hawaii. I had no idea how to even start but Sophia did not miss a beat. She was fast, and professional, and made sure I understood all the options and process. Working with my sister, Sophia dealt with so many of the physical aspects of this process because I was not physically there. She more than exceeded my expectations and was a real pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Sophia Yunis to anyone needing this service. read more

Most professional Broker/Realtor experience I've had with my home purchase or sale. Googled top realtor in my Big Island (Kea'au) area. Sofia's information had many top five star reviews. After reviewing I reached out to Sofia and scheduled an appointment. We met the same day. Immediately I was drawn to how attentive and knowledgeable she was. Her decades of experience was obvious and I felt assured she was the agent going forward. I had learned of pertinent information other agents had net taken time to explain. This is only one of her strengths. Communication, coordination and passion was next level. I was like, "WOW she's a pro!" Sofia took lead and kept me along side the entire process. Her display of pride and professionalism separates her from other agents. Complete satisfaction. read more

My relationship with Sophia began more than a year before I came to the Big Island. A close friend recommended her and from the very first phone conversation I felt completely at ease and confident that Sophia would be the right realtor for me to chose. She immediately started emailing me listings of what I was looking for in the area I was considering, which allowed me to compare properties in different locations, within my price range. Her knowledge of the Island, the people and all of the intricacies of real estate is enormous.

Sophia took time and patience in helping us get through the many sheets of paper in the contract. She never made you feel like you were being pushed into a purchase. When we decided to sell the property she once again did a great job. We would highly recommend Sophia as your future Realtor in purchasing or selling your land on the Big Island.

Sophie is 100% the best realtor! My husband and I just bought our first home! Sophie was always very on-it about showing us any houses we were interested in. Being a younger family of 3, finding a house suitable for us in our budget was a little challenging. However, when we found the one, Sophia did everything she could to help us make our best offer (as well as explaining everything that was going on) she was always available to talk about anything and answer any questions we had. My husband and I always felt super comfortable talking to her through the whole process. She is very kind, caring, understanding, and supportive. Super genuine as well! 10/10 recommend her! read more

I recently sold my property in Hawaii with Sophia Yunis as my agent. She is an extraordinary real estate agent and an amazing person. This is the second time we have worked with Sophia to sell property in Hawaii. She's very knowledgeable, organized, competent and responsive. Because I was selling property from a distance, I was very happy with how quickly Sophia responded to my questions and concerns during the sale. She staged the property at her own expense and coordinated Inspections and other activities as they were needed. Sophia is a person who goes above and beyond what is required for her clients, and I recommend her highly! read more
