Short sales are a reality of real estate life these days. Unlike traditional sales they require different terminology, strategy, and lots of patience for all parties involved. I can’t say enough about how Gretchen handled the sale of our unit encompassing all of her knowledge in this specific area and used her inside connection with our lender. This process could have ended is disaster, but Gretchen pulled us all together and we sold our place to a happy new buyer while avoiding foreclosure. Once again I can’t thank you enough!!!

I never imagined homeownership but as home prices continued to drop, my dream of buying a home began to come alive. Gretchen had more patience than anyone I’ve known and worked diligently to find a place that would work for us. I never would have gotten through this without her. She’s the absolute best!

I don’t know what I would have done without Gretchen. She was great, and just kept pushing that paper until she closed a short sale for me. I would highly recommend her for your real estate needs, and I would not hesitate to call on her when looking for a real estate agent. Thank you so much, Gretchen.

Gretchen and her staff along with their terrific marketing campaign really made the difference in selling our oceanfront condo. She successfully sold and closed the escrow for us in just 70 days! Every interaction with Hawaiian Isle was pleasant and professional . . . we definitely recommend them!

Gretchen was exactly what we needed! After being on the market for a year, we listed our lot with Gretchen and she put it into escrow in only 15 days. She analyzed the market, the area, and the land and told us exactly what needed to be done. She and her team are fantastic: professional and proactive. The close of escrow was seamless due to the attention to detail and preparation taken beforehand.

Gretchen we loved your get it done attitude. The time and effort you put into our condominium purchase from start to finish was outstanding. We feel that we have a new friend in Kona who just happens to be a great realtor. Mahalo

My husband and I are both real estate brokers in California. We invest in different states and have very high expectations when dealing with other agents. Gretchen is the best we have ever dealt with; her team is professional and responds quickly. Maybe it is the red hair. Call Gretchen if you would like to talk to us personally, she has our cell phone numbers.

Gretchen removed our fears of purchasing off island, with her knowledge, integrity and walking us through every aspect of our purchase. Through e-mail, Gretchen educated us about the history of the various condo projects, from construction to rental history’s. Gretchen e-mailed us pictures she herself took at our request of various condo’s. Gretchen saved us hours and days by showing us only the listings that met our specific needs. She went above and beyond for us; she made our 27-year dream a reality. Mahalo, Gretchen!

My associates at work were amazed when I described the level of profession- alism and service that Gretchen provides to all her Sellers and Buyers. After multiple transactions with her as our family’s agent, I know we will never use anyone else on the Island
