What Customers Are Saying…

Here at First Island Realty, we strive to do our best for you, but don’t take our word for it – here’s what some of our customers are saying about us:

March, 2025

I have tried to sell my property in Hawaii at least 3 times before over a span of ten years. I was very frustrated We do not live in the States.

UNTIL I contacted Lori A. McNeel at First Island Realty. From that first phone call forward, I was confident that I had found the perfect person for the job.

AND DID I EVER😊😊😊😊

Within a couple weeks Lori had worked her magic, and my property was SOLD. I could not believe it. I am sure Ms. McNeel got a chuckle when I keep asking her to tell me “it was not a dream”. We also got the priced we asked. I was in disbelieve.

Lori continued to walk us thru the process. And as older generation, I needed a lot of help.

I still can’t believe how easy and quick this all happened. If you need a great, and I mean great realtor. Call Lori.

You’ve found the best! Look no further, Lori will take care of you! She is honest, accessible, keeps me updated at every step, and deftly solves any problems that arise. She has helped me with 4 transactions so far, buying and selling, and my only go-to for the future. Customer service seems a lost art these days, but Lori delivers in every way!

Lori is great! Professional and kind. She builds lasting relationships getting to know and engaging with both the adults and keikis. She is always on time and communicates effectively. She is as able to answer all the questions we had about the processes and the many homes we toured and provide recommendations or information about other non house specific questions. Always was reachable and quick to respond. Very knowledgeable!

I met Lori during an open house. Her warmth and genuineness were immediately evident.

Her intuitiveness, attention to detail and vast knowledge of the Big Island became obvious shortly thereafter.

Looking for a home in the Keauhou area, at a certain price point, can be daunting.

Lori immediately could sense my priorities, filtered through the unnecessary properties, and found me the PERFECT home!

She is dedicated, HONEST, has many connections, ALWAYS follows through and all with a beautiful sense of humor!

Lori had my back through all of the details, and provided sound realistic guidance.

Lastly, she spent a great deal of time assisting with my moving in needs, with labor, all with laughter and kindness.

BEST customer service and real estate experience I have EVER had. She is a delight to work with.

You won’t go wrong hiring Lori!
