We are a team of experienced, local real estate agents ready to help you find your new Hawaiian home. Big Island Properties is owned by RE/MAX Honolulu, and we are experienced business executives that are part of that team on the Big Island. Clearly, with the hundreds of millions of dollars of real estate sold on the sunny Kohala Coast there was a real need for a truly international Real Estate firm that had its own agents around the world. These relationships are with actual RE/MAX agents and not with agents of another affiliated company. We can pick up the phone a call our own agents in, for example, Japan or Germany. We can speak to agents who have been trained with the RE/MAX education and ethics. Our referral business is part of the backbone of our brokerage.
In the early days of the real estate explosion on the Kohala coast so many of the brokerages covering the Kohala coast of the big Island had been locally run agencies with no international affiliations. There were no worldwide agencies here that had the ability to market a property in 120 countries around the world.
Peggy Kent, Realtor (RB24065), and Greg White, Realtor(RS84411), along with Richard Meschke, transaction manager, work together at Lava Luxury Big Island Properties, which services clients from as far south as Captain Cook all the way up the Kohala Coast to Hawi and inland to the Waimea town area.
