We contacted Penn before our trip to Kona this summer, as we were interested in looking at some condos. He was very responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Although we were intending on just starting our search, he found us the condo of our dreams, which we successfully purchased. And he made the whole process very easy. Highly recommended!

I am a mortgage lender so I work with a lot of realtors in Hawaii. Penn is one of the absolute best on Big Island. I recently chose him to handle my personal real estate transaction for several reasons:
1. He truly cares about people. Penn’s number one goal is to make sure his clients are satisfied, and it shows. I have seen him make extra trips to properties for client requests, and provide countless detailed videos for off-island buyers. He spends time with people to make sure they understand the process and are comfortable with the transaction. When you work with Penn, you are not just another sale; he treats you like an important client and a friend.
2. Penn is very detailed and writes up excellent, strategic offers. If you are buying and competing with other offers, he gives you the best chance of winning by being very thorough with his contracts. The way he delivers an offer is equally thorough. This is the same high quality of work you see on his website and marketing materials.
3. Speaking of marketing, if you are selling, Penn puts together beautiful websites and books and other extremely professional marketing materials to sell your home. I have not used Penn to sell a property for me, but I have seen his work for several other clients, and it is always extremely impressive.
4. He has built some amazing tools into his website. These are helpful if you are seriously hunting from afar or if you are just browsing the market for a possible future purchase. I use some of his web tools almost daily.
5. Penn has a very good handle on the market and watches new listings diligently with his clients in mind. I scour the market daily, and he still found a property for me that I had not seen yet. This property ended up being the perfect one for my needs, and Penn helped me win it in a multiple offer situation. He also ensured a smooth transaction despite some seller challenges.
Overall, realtors are NOT created equal. If you want someone that will work hard to get you the best deal possible and that really cares about YOU and your wants and needs, pick Penn. You won’t be disappointed.

Penn was the best! He made the sale super easy on us. All the paperwork was handled very quickly and effeciently. He is a joy to work with and he really knows his stuff.
He spent a lot of time explaining things step by step, and took all of our calls quickly.
It was a pleasure and a blessing to work with him.

Penn Henderson is a Relator's, Realtor. He knows the ins and outs of real-estate that other realtors have little knowledge of. We closed in 30 days exactly, which is rare for Hawaii. He is always available to speak with, and will send you an email the moment a new property comes on the market in the area your interested in. He will even do a video walkthrough of any property you are interested in but don't have the time to see.

I would highly recommend him and would use him again.

We are very happy with Penn and would highly recommend him to others. We purchased a primary home for our retirement through him without even having to see it in person. As a substantial investment and to purchase something from afar, we needed someone who not only we could trust but who also genuinely cared and understood what we wanted. Penn worked with us all along the way. He took the time to understand what we were interested in and was diligent in highlighting properties to us that would fit our needs. His video walkthroughs were excellent. He gave great commentary on the interior, exterior, and the neighborhood, pointing out the good points and those areas that may need attention. He has great local knowledge and insight. He is sincere and candid, and really wanted to provide us with as much information to make sure we were comfortable with the property before making any offers. The transaction went smoothly, and he was very prompt and up to date on anything that needed to be taken care of on our end, such as inspection signoffs, etc. There is nothing we could say about him that would improve or enhance his help to us, he is the complete package. And lastly his two assistants (his two young sons) that appeared in the background of many of the video walkthroughs added a great human feel to the videos. Thank you Penn.

Penn Henderson, my Realtor Agent in selling our condo was amazing! He was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. He worked well beyond what one could expect! He even rolled up his sleeves & assisted me in preparing the condo for marketing & highlight the beauty of our property. It just blew me away!

recent buyers in Kona
Penn Henderson of NextHome Paradise Realty is our realtor. He just helped us close on a condo in Kona. Penn has our most enthusiastic recommendation.

Like many buyers, we had to conduct all of our business from the mainland. Before we visited the big island in September, we scheduled a meeting with Penn. When we arrived in his office, he showed us a dossier full of properties matching our interests and price range. We spent the better part of an afternoon touring various areas in and around Kona. With the benefit of Penn’s expert knowledge of both the territory and the housing market, we were able to get a good idea of what kind of property we would be looking for, and where.

Once we returned home, Penn started sending us new listings in West Hawaii. In the fall it was still too early for us to buy, but we learned a great deal by checking these listings and asking questions. Penn was always ready to give us full and candid answers.

In January we got more serious about buying in Kona. When we asked about properties we were considering making an offer on, Penn would take the time to make thorough, informative videos for us. These weren’t always rave reviews; every now and then, he would essentially have to talk us out of making an offer based upon what we were seeing.

In the first two months of the year we made several offers, and missed out on the first properties we had bid upon. Although we would get discouraged at times, Penn just kept looking, assuring us that we’d eventually find the place we were seeking. He never gave up or got impatient; he just kept on working hard and writing well-crafted offers until we finally got one accepted at the beginning of March. Escrow just closed this week, and we owe it all to Penn.

Are you looking for a realtor to help you find a place in West Hawaii? You really can’t do better than Penn Henderson. He is simply the best there is. Mahalo, Penn!

Penn was amazing, very personable and extremely professional. He made several trips to ocean view for me just for a small transaction. I would highly recommend him for all your real estate needs on the big island.

Penn and the Team at NextHome Paradise did an outstanding job finding my wife and I a condo in Kona. We had very specific requirements and he didn't waste our time with properties that didn't meet our requirements. After finding the perfect match his service went above and beyond expectations including detailed videos and incredible service throughout the process. I highly recommend him and his team of professionals.

Talk about going the extra mile! Penn's most recent transaction required a ton of research, but in the end, that research presented an incredible opportunity (to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars in instant equity) for his client.

All 900 agents in this market saw this property and saw the red flags, but Penn was the only one to do the work and see that those red flags were not really there! Truly an amazing job.

Penn helped my husband I with recent purchase in Waikoloa village.
First day we met, we found our home and offered that night.
He was honest, professional, responsive, personable, and knowledgeable.
Everything went so smooth and fast. He accommodated our busy schedule and met us super early in the morning from Kona.
He went above and beyond for our sales and highly recommend this guy to anyone who wants to buy or sell houses.
