I couldn't be more grateful for the incredible job Stephen did in selling my home. He went above and beyond at every step, treating my property with the same care and dedication as if it were his own — and that care was evident throughout the entire sales process. Stephen meticulously curated and coordinated all aspects of the sale, managing external parties seamlessly and keeping me fully informed throughout. Thanks to his clear and proactive communication, I always felt one step ahead and did not need to ask questions — I already had the answers. He quickly understood my communication style and preferences, which helped streamline everything and made the experience remarkably smooth. Stephen offered thoughtful advice, laid out options clearly, and truly understood what mattered to me, handling potential stress points with incredible ease and professionalism. At times, he felt like a buffer — absorbing any pressure and allowing me to stay focused. It was genuinely a wonderful experience, and I'm deeply thankful. Thank you, Stephen, from the bottom of my heart.

I cannot recommend Stephen enough - he is THE best and works magic. He had my back the entire time and got me my dream unit. I was looking for a second home in Hawaii and was referred to him by a dear friend who has the highest standards so knew I would be in great hands. I was not sure about neighborhoods but knew I wanted something quiet and with a fabulous view. He toured me through so many neighborhoods pointing out the attributes and challenges of each - he really wanted me to get a sense of where I would be happiest within my budget, which I’m so grateful for. When I finally decided on a community, there were no available homes. He went above and beyond and contacted each owner to ascertain if they would consider a sale. As a result of his proactive outreach, three owners came forward with a potential sale, including my dream unit which I was able to buy thanks to him. He worked with the seller and me to negotiate a fair price (which was not an easy task) and then he assisted me through a super smooth escrow. He is the only Realtor on Island I can recommend - he is the best on all fronts!
Amber, Buyer at Waikoloa Village Condominiums

I listed my house with Stephen above what everyone else said it was worth. I knew, with all the renovations and upgrades to this unit, it was going to set the new bar if Stephen could perform as expected. I gave Stephen all responsibilities of staging, photos, marketing, open houses and being present at all times. It was incredible the number of potential clients he drew in from dreamers to all cash buyers. When a potential buyer was told by the AOAO that solar panels were not allowed, Stephen researched the issue and worked with me to get the AOAO to change their policy. He did the impossible in 73 days and sold my unit right at target price. It’s going to be a pleasure listing my next renovated unit with Stephen knowing what he’s capable of doing."
David, Seller at The Shores at Waikoloa Beach Resort

Stephen went above and beyond my expectations by making sure my home looked as good as possible, providing undivided attention during countless showings and open houses, and then researching obstacles (to maximize the value of my home). I’m confident that my home sold fast and for a good price largely because Stephen was my Realtor.
John, Seller at The Shores at Waikoloa Beach Resort

Stephen did a great job locating the perfect home for us at the Shores at Waikoloa Beach Resort. He understood our needs and used his great sense of fabulous space to find an amazing condominium that met our wishes for expansive views, outdoor living and attractive interior finishes and features. He is exactly what we wanted in a realtor - he is a great communicator, provides very balanced advice, and took the time to understand what we were looking for. His FaceTime tours of the unit helped us make an informed decision despite being off-Island during the entire process. He walked us through every step of the escrow process and explained each detail of our transaction. When we were faced with a post-closing challenge with the Seller, Stephen stood by our side and worked with us to arrive at an amicable solution. We are excited to create many wonderful memories in our beautiful new Big Island home.
Jim and Bob, Buyers at The Shores at Waikoloa Beach Resort

We loved working with Stephen to find our perfect Hawaii home. For us, the view was very important and Stephen listened to us to help us find a property with sweeping ocean views. We were not able to be on Island throughout much of our search so Stephen became our eyes on the ground in Hawaii as we searched multiple properties. He used video tours, FaceTime, and pictures to make sure that we understood the attributes of each property we considered. When our perfect home came available, he worked with us to ensure we understood all of the features and issues with the home and organized all of the necessary professionals to help us with a smooth escrow. He even took time away from a family vacation to get an offer written and accepted. We could not be happier with our home and consider Stephen to be a great friend.
Kathryn & Ronnie, Buyers at Wai’ula’ula at the Mauna Kea Resort

We invested a lot in the improvements to our Hawaii home so when it came time to sell, we wanted to maximize the price, which was above the price point of other houses in our community. Stephen understood how superior our home was to the rest of the houses and did not shy away from our targeted price. He worked with us to showcase our house and made sure that he was present at every showing so that we felt comfortable with strangers touring our home. He also worked with us to make sure he could communicate all of the features that we included in our home to augment his sales pitch. Stephen and his team brought us several offers that were in line with our listing price. He then assisted us through the escrow process and made sure that all of our executed documents were delivered to us in a single file.
Doug and Sam, Sellers at Moani Heights at the Mauna Kea Resort

Our family was relocated from Oahu to the Big Island and Stephen was recommended by a colleague. He toured us through the various communities that were in our price range and assisted us in identifying the attributes of each. He also listened to our needs of how we lived and the features we wanted in our new home. When a difficult Seller removed included items from the house, Stephen intervened on our behalf with the listing agent to negotiate our position and get us properly compensated. He always kept our best interest in mind.
Charlie and Rebecca, Buyers at Kamilo at the Mauna Lani Resort

We relocated to the Big Island at the start of the 2021 housing boom and wanted to find a house with more space where we could work from home. Stephen helped us identify a great community that was within our budget and had a housing stock that suited our needs; however, the market was heating up. Stephen advised us on how to best position ourselves in a field of multiple offers and found us a lender who was able to act quickly to get us preapproved. When a house came on the market, Stephen helped us structure our offer so that it was the most attractive offer on the table. He then helped us negotiate an accepted offer and worked with us to close the transaction.
