We loved working with Erik and Romy to sell our Hawaii condo! Erik was always very responsive, knowledgable and helpful. We've recommended them to our family when they decide to sell their Waikoloa home as well as their potential upcoming purchase in Waimea. We plan on working with Erik and Romy for our next Hawaii purchase!

We have now used Erik and Romy to purchase and sell a property. We have referred them to several friends and family as well. Can’t say enough about this team. We will continue to use them for all of our needs moving forward!!

We highly recommend the Jacobsons. They were terrific to work with. Both have a thoughtful and caring manner. They responded quickly to every inquiry. The virtually staged photographs of our condominium were super. We had an offer a day after Romy had an open house early in the process. The sale had some bumps but Erik helped us with options and advice based on extensive experience in the market. Closing happened right on time. We are so glad we had the opportunity to work with such professionals. Jim and Jan

We have sold several homes besides this one and have never had a smoother or easier experience. My wife and I wanted to sell the condo and to have as little stress as possible while doing it. Erik and Romy understood that and were able to guide us in making the apartment look its best without wearing ourselves out. They were a great help to us in coming up with a selling price and in negotiations once we had a buyer. They were very organized and helped us to do the work we had to do in an efficient way. As a result, we managed to sell at a price we were happy with and in record (for us) time. Thanks to you both.

Erik and Romy have been amazing to work with! They helped us learn more about the market, and hone in on what we were looking for. They took great care in learning about us and understanding our needs and desires. Once we made an offer, they were incredibly helpful in answering our questions as first time home buyers in Hawaii, and everything else that came up along the way. They even helped ensure we had what we needed to apply for our STVR permit! They are genuinely good people- kind and really fun to work with. We highly recommend them!

We had a great experience working with Erik and Romy. It was the least stressful and smoothest real estate transaction we have ever been through. They were there from the initial viewing and helped with every aspect of the offer and closing, and continue to stay in contact with offers of assistance. They are fun, smart and pressure-free and we recommend them highly!

Erik and Romy made a great team helping us find our Hawaii home. Erik has excellent knowledge of the Big Island market. He setup many showings for us during our househunting trip and accommodated our last minute whims to see a few more. He is prepared, knowledgeable, honest and has a good reputation within the real estate community. Romy worked all kinds of magic with the paperwork and kept us apprised of the housing market movements. They went above and beyond to connect us to many local services and shared their vast knowledge about the island. Erik and Romy made our search, purchase and closing of our Hawaii dream place smooth and easy. There is no doubt we would use them again for our real estate needs.

Erik & Romy were incredibly helpful in our home search. They were patient, knowledgeable, honest & respectful! No detail was left out and no question too silly. They met with us to get to know us & our needs & budget, then worked to find us a property that fit what we wanted. As we live on the mainland, I'm sure it wasn't the easiest process for them, but they took it in stride & were willing to help in any way possible, even though it took a few years to finally find the perfect property. I did say patient, right. We won't hesitate to use them again if the need arises & would highly recommend them. Their integrity shows in everything they do & they went above & beyond in helping us fulfill our dream of living on Hawaii Island. They are the very definition of Aloha spirit!

We had the great pleasure of working with the Jacobson Team at Corcoran Pacific Properties in selling our condo on the Big Island of Hawaii. Erik and Romy were extremely knowledgeable of the current market trends in Hawaii and provided expert guidance in helping us set the price for our condo. They were always willing to answer (or get answers to) all our questions and one or the other would always respond almost immediately.
Erik and Romy personally knew nearly all of the professionals involved in our transaction, especially the title company we used, which provide us with great confidence throughout the sale. They provided a personal touch as well, as Romy helped to prepare and stage our condo for the open house we held and both performed many tasks that we considered to be above and beyond.
We very much appreciate all that Erik and Romy did for us. They were not only very professional but very personable as well. We wholeheartedly recommend the Jacobson Team! Five stars. Kirk & Celia

Erik and Romy patiently (over four years and a pandemic) and consistently helped us to find our dream home on the Big Island. They are extremely knowledgeable, honest, attentive, competent and hard working. Because we were living on the mainland, we trusted them to pre-vet the properties they showed us until, at last, even in a very tough market, we found exactly what we wanted. Their careful consideration of our needs completely merited our confidence. Every step of the process was thoroughly and professionally explained; the escrow and closing went as smoothly as could be possible. Thank you Erik and Romy for going so over and above in your helpfulness to us. We value your friendship.

We were pleased to work with Erik and Romy Jacobson selling our house in Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii. They have excellent connections and knowledge of the local market, as well as excellent professional expertise and impeccable integrity. We were able to complete the sale, while being remote, within 45 days. Erik and Romy coordinated and handled all of the details, making the process go very smoothly for us and achieving success. Erik and Romy excel at communication, being well organized and making it all happen by working seamlessly with all the contacts and parties in the process. The quality of their service, communications, guidance and expertise is top notch. We can absolutely recommend Erik and Romy Jacobson, wholeheartedly.

We relied on Eric and Romy to oversee the sale of our condo as we were on the Mainland. Everything from our first meeting with them to establish a listing price to the closing was easy and exceeded our expectations by far. We can’t imagine how the sale could have been professionally handled any better.

Erik represented me in the purchase of an acreage in Kohala Estates community on Hawaii Island. We closed this deal after 3 other potential buyers had tried to purchase the lot over the preceding two years but failed. This deal took a high level of due diligence and leg work. Erik was extremely proactive and maintained a strong level of communication with the sellers representatives while we navigated through the process. I was impressed by Erik's knowledge of the real estate transaction process, the timeliness with all contract amendments, and his negotiation skills in getting me the best possible deal. I believe it was this level of professionalism that ultimately resulted in me closing the deal successfully and I am extremely grateful to have purchased a piece of land that I will likely spend the rest of my life on. Thank you Erik for the superb work!

If you want the most beautiful buying experience of your life then you NEED to call Erik and Romy! I’m not one to write reviews about anything but this was a must! Erik and Romy are absolute pros, and the super bonus is they are great people too. Making a purchase when you aren’t living on island can be a bit intimidating and down right stressful. Not with these two! When they say they live here and know the area, they really do! They went above and beyond to help us find the perfect spot so we can build our dream home. They scouted out properties and gave us very detailed information so we could make an informed decision. Once we narrowed it down, we came over and pulled the trigger on the perfect piece of land. I cannot recommend them highly enough. You will not be disappointed, it’s just not possible. Every i is dotted and every t is crossed. This was the easiest, most comfortable buying experience we’ve ever had. We will be purchasing more properties through Erik and Romy!

I can't say enough good things about Romy and Erik. My wife and I are completely satisfied with their knowledge, expertise and ability to handle the challenges that came (and we had several before the offer that went to closing).
But probably the best thing about this team is their honest caring for us as individuals and the lack of high-pressure to do anything. I bristle at high pressure sales people. Erik and Romy are the opposite of that. They're patient while offering solid advice --and that fits both my wife and my personalities. Strongly recommend!

Eric and Romy helped us purchase this home in 2012 and sell it this year. They are professional and exceptional real estate operatives and I have no hesitation in recommending them for either a purchase or a sale. This latest exercise went extremely well and the price, which was negotiated, was to our surprise in excess of what we had expected and accomplished within 5 days.

Erik and Romy have been wonderful to work with in both the purchase and sale of my home on Hawai'i Island. They both go above and beyond all expectations, and I feel that the advice they give is what they would give to a family member. Erik and Romy respond to communication immediately, and are more than willing to help out with matters outside of the real estate transaction. I wouldn't go with anyone else for buying or selling property on Hawai'i Island.

Erik and Romy Jacobson provided us outstanding service when we purchased our condominium in Waikoloa Village. We had been seriously searching for over 3 years while spending our winters in Waikoloa. Erik and Romy showed us many houses, condos and even helped us to find a rental. The Corcoran Pacific app was helpful; but Erik's knowledge of the area and willingness go look on short notice was remarkable! Erik and Romy guided us to a perfect property. They were patient and understanding during this huge step for us. We are from St Louis and the entire buying process, after we found the perfect place, was accomplished on line. We could not have accomplished this without their extraordinary care. After the sale, their cheerful service continues. There are many details they are helping us with. My wife and I chose them as realtors, but now we are friends and neighbors.

We are so glad we chose to work with Erik and Romy ... selling a home is always a stressful time, but selling a home in the midst of a pandemic was absolutely terrifying. Erik and Romy were very calm, knowledgable and patient, helping us navigate an incredibly uncertain and constantly changing situation. We loved their team approach, each bringing different skills and perspectives that offered us the perfect balance. They were friendly and responsive and super helpful from our initial conversation all the way through our moving process. We always felt like we were their #1 priority, even though we knew they were juggling lots of other things.They were also incredibly professional - their marketing materials and photography were top-of-the-line in presenting our home. We so appreciated working with Erik and Romy, were thrilled with the outcome of our sale, and wholeheartedly recommend them to other sellers.

I was very pleased with both Erik and Romy. Erik is patient and a good listener which is, in my opinion, an important quality if you are offering service to someone. He was on time, organized and answered my emails and phone messages no later than the same day. Romy staged the house for the pictures and together they took care of everything leaving us only the required paperwork to sign for escrow. They are definitely a great team and I would highly recommend their service.

Romy and Erik are the best. Thanks to them, we sold our condo in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown. They are a great team taking care of marketing, negotiating, and finalizing paperwork. We've bought and sold a number of homes and condos over the years and appreciate the openness and responsiveness of Erik and Romy. We are now looking for a new condo in another state and wish we have the quality services that we had with this team.
