Approximate Location Boundaries: From Paukaa (North of Hilo) to Laupahoehoe
Location Characteristics: This geographic area stretches from Paukaa (which is just north of Hilo), to the town of Laupahoehoe. There are a wide range of property choices within this area, including beautiful sites with streams, waterfalls and ocean views. This is where much of the island’s farming takes place. The predominant soil type is a deep silty clay loam of volcanic ash origin, and is ideal for diversified farming activities. This vibrant greenbelt has lots of open rural space with a relatively low population base. It is one of the preferred areas with ideal lifestyle living conditions.

My Client-First Philosophy:
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional – integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a Hilo real estate professional, I’ve also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This “client first” philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I’ve found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I’ve always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They’ve also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
So when you decide that you’d like to buy or sell a home in the Hilo areas, please contact me.
