Danielle was recommended to me by a family member, for which I will always be grateful. Danielle is everything you wish for in a realtor...highly professional, motivated and honest. She was always on time and paid precise attention to all the details involved in the transaction. She knew the inventory and had a real understanding of what I (as a buyer) was looking for...with no needless high pressure or phony/baloney nonsense. Not only that, she was a fun person to work with...lots of laughs even in the stress of executing the close of escrow.

Danielle is highly knowledgeable, always quick to respond to any and all questions or issues that arose during our home search / escrow process, and simply put, has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She would make herself available at all times of the day and night and always seemed eager to be of help. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful agent (moreover, an agent that has a wealth of knowledge on the big island). I can honestly say that we felt incredibly fortunate to have her as our realtor.

MICHAEL AND JANE

We are fortunate to have met Danielle during our research for a home on the Big Island. We lived in CA and it's really hard with the pandemic to buy a home long distance. Danielle was our ears and eyes, and represented us in all aspects. Danielle is an expert on the area, was on top of every step, and super responsive. She was a true partner and we ended up with a fair price for both sides, and a very positive buying experience. Buying a home is obviously a serious decision, and can go wrong so many ways. Danielle made it possible to buy our dream home in the middle of a pandemic and living 2,500 miles away. I highly recommend her.

Danielle was accomodating, helpful, and friendly. She made our experience enjoyable. She had great negotiation skills and we had a great price for our lot. Thank you for all your help, Danielle:)

Danielle was sent to me through the Zillow app and it has been a great experience. Danielle listened to what my needs and wants were and located the perfect property for me. Buying a home is stressful under the best circumstances, buying site unseen from thousand of miles away can be overwhelming. Danielle had extensive knowledge of the area and made the whole experience so much easier. I highly recommend Danielle and appreciate all the personal touches and above and beyond that she does for her clients.

We selected Danielle after interviewing many agents carefully, as We were especially impressed with her tenure on the island, knowledge of estate, zoning, tax, social, legal and general construction expertise issues. Danielle saved our purchase as in the middle of escrow we lost our lender. Danielle found a new one for us and she really worked hard to complete the complex sale. She masterfully guided the sale to closing and is now providing us with reputable contractor sources for our big rebuild job and adding sound advice. Great in timely communications, clear, concise expertise in every aspect of this very difficult sale, trustworthy. We wouldn't have our new home if not for Daniele's diligent expertise David m

We had an excellent experience working with Danielle! She really went above and beyond to understand what we were looking for. Ultimately we ended find the perfect home for us! It came with an easement access issue that I don’t feel confident would have been sorted out without someone as diligent and experienced as her on our team. Mahalo Danielle!

Danielle is awesome. Persistent, patient, honest, and creative when it comes to real estate. She stuck with us for our whole 6 month decision making process and ensured a very smooth and clean transaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Danielle to anyone looking to buy or sell on the big island.

I don't normally write reviews, but this has been earned and is deserved. My wife and I recently purchased a very difficult foreclosure property in Kona. We selected Danielle after interviewing many agents carefully, as We were especially impressed with her tenure on the island, knowledge of estate, zoning, tax, social, legal and general construction expertise issues. Danielle saved our purchase as in the middle of escrow we lost our lender. Danielle found a new one for us and she really worked hard to complete the complex sale. She masterfully guided the sale to closing and is now providing us with reputable contractor sources for our big rebuild job and adding sound advice. Great in timely communications, clear, concise expertise in every aspect of this very difficult sale, trustworthy. We wouldn't have our new home if not for Daniele's diligent expertise, We cant say enough how happy we are with her and would highly recommend using her for any real-estate needs. Just the best.

Danielle was very tenacious in finding the right property for us. The property she found for us was precisely what we were looking for. She remembered every detail of what was important to us. She negotiated a great price. She seemed to be available 24/7, since she answered questions no matter what time it was. She helped us through the entire process.

Danielle was amazing for us. Recommended but one of her previous clients and did not disappoint. There was no nonsense and was quick to figure out what we were after with a few emails. Highly recommend!

Danielle is the very best realtor we’ve worked with. She was superb in every way, her knowledge of BI properties, the market, the other realtors and how they work, and negotiating a great price for us. And she is so very patient, she did all the legwork and found us our dream oceanfront home on the BI. Go with Danielle and you will be so pleased!!

I have been highly satisfied with Danielle's assistance throughout this rather complicated land sale and 1031 exchange. She is attentive to detail, quick in her follow up of related issues or concerns and is a good communicator. I highly recommend her to others.

Being my first time in selling a family home, Danielle has been most helpful, very knowledgeable and offering valuable suggestions. She's aggresive with real estate values but sensitive to sentimental value. Danielle is very efficient in doing business, very prompt, follow ups, always on top of things to get the job done!!

I was so lucky to have Danielle answer my inquiry. Her contractor knowledge was extremely helpful in purchasing an older home on the Hamakua coast. She was very knowledgeable regarding construction and whether it was done correctly. Danielle is very honest and gives your accurate information. She always responded to my emails and texts in a timely manner. We were dealing with a difficult seller but her patience, negotiating skills and "never give up" attitude made the sale happen. I highly doubt I would have been able to purchase my home without Danielle. I HIGHLY recommend Danielle to any buyers. You won't be disappointed!

I appreciate Danielle's knowledgeable presentation and the fact she is a straight shooter. She is so helpful and you can tell she loves sharing the aloha experience with everyone she meets.

Danielle defines the “real” in Realtor.” My brother and I had a great experience working with someone who is 100% honest, upfront and “real” about the nearly 30 properties that we looked at. Since I was 15 years old, I dreamt of purchasing a home in my 20’s. I thought that was impossible! However, she helped us find the right home, for the right price and made it possible! She drove from Honokaa to Hilo multiple times for us. She promptly answered our phone calls, e-mails and fulfilled all of our requests. Being that she is a co-owner of a design and drafting company, she shared a lot of knowledge regarding the county planning and building codes. She literally guided us from start to finish! Danielle was like the older sister that we never had. We learned a lot from her! When selecting a realtor, honesty & integrity; knowledge of the purchase and loan process; patience; responsiveness; knowledge of the real estate market; good communication; negotiation skills; sense of humor and passion are a must! Danielle has it ALL!

We chose Danielle based on all of these amazing reviews, and we were not disappointed. I feel like we won the Realtor jackpot! From the first email Danielle was on top of everything! We had limited time in HI but were able to find an amazing property. Negotiations went smoothly and we couldn't believe how seamless the whole process was. This was all due to Danielle! We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Danielle listens to what you want or need. We described want we were interested in, she took us to those properties. She has a vast knowledge of real estate, construction and property investment. Plus she's very smart, if you have a question she usually knows the answer, if not she gets back to you immediately.

Danielle is professional, knowledgeable, here negotiator, and diplomatic. She is accessible ALMOST 24/7. She has an abundance of proactive energy. I would trust her with any transaction. She has become a trusted ally.

She worked tirelessly , was always available , remained dedicated and involved to the end . She really made it happen! We found Danielle to be a person of the highest moral integrity and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home .
