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!

Romy and Erik were instrumental in our successful move to Hawaii. We began working with them a couple years ago when the idea seed was planted. Over the two years, they remained knowledgeable, intuitive, and diligent in helping us search for the right location and house on the island.
We were able to get here in March for a couple weeks to begin looking, but as many know, that is a limited timeframe for such a search. During those couple weeks they took us to every part of the island on our radar, with our various needs in mind.
With that important factor covered, we were able to end our trip on island while still working on the search. Erik and Romy continued actively helping us find our best fit over emails and zoom walkthroughs. We cannot thank them enough for the time, effort, kindness and empathy as we went through the process!
