Laure was very patient and helpful in finding a home within my budget and was willing to show me homes in multiple areas to determine the neighborhood that best suited my needs.
Laure was a godsend. She showed us multiple listings and zeroed in on the place that was perfect for us. Having personal insight to island living and the ability to direct us in the direction that fulfilled our needs. A total pro from the first introduction to finalizing of the deal and beyond. Thank you so much!!!
I can’t say enough about Laure. She knows her stuff like nobody else. If you are looking for a property on the Big Island, she is definitely your go-to person. She guided us to an outstanding and knowledgeable source to aid us in obtaining a USDA Rural Loan. Without the referral she provided, it would have been impossible to make our home purchase a reality. We arrived on island in January to look at the property we eventually purchased and she treated us like we were special buyers…always there to answer questions and chauffeur us all the way down to the “Southernmost City in the United States” (Naalehu) and all the while providing a narrative of Island customs, wildlife and flora. TWO THUMBS UP!!
