We have been working with Kona for almost 5 years. He has helped us navigate some very complex real estate situations, including purchasing during the current aggressive market. We have worked with Kona (as well as his dad, Kelly, and his brother, Jake) during this time. Kona is the definition of professionalism in this business. His extensive knowledge of Big Island reality has been immensely helpful. His long standing reputation on Hawai’i Island was instrumental in securing a bid on a very competitive property, because he is well known by nearly all the local realtors, and this was a key part of the negotiations. He is honest, sincere, ethical, and smart. He is hard working with a can-do attitude about every aspect of the business. He makes you feel like you are his only client, always answers the phone, juggles his schedule to accommodate yours, and makes it all look effortless. We couldn’t ask for a better realtor, and we will never use anyone else for buying or selling a home.
Kona Moran is amazing! He has listed and sold three of our properties this past year. I kept going back to him over and over to market each property because I knew he would do a superb job. And he did just that. He is honest, highly ethical, intelligent, and works hard for his clients. Kona is very professional and was also very patient with some of the challenges that arose due to fact that we were so far away and unable to be there. He handled all aspects of the project from documents to staging and then took great care to present each property at its best, and ready for sale. Kona’s energy and enthusiasm seem endless! He repeatedly and willingly worked after hours whenever needed in order to meet all the timelines as issues arose along the way. The fact that we were in different Time Zones just never seemed to be a problem. As a realtor myself in California, I was very concerned about choosing the right realtor to represent us. I reached out to Kona because I knew of his outstanding reputation on The Big Island. He continued to surpass my expectations, and is, by far, the Best Realtor I have ever worked with! I highly recommend Kona Moran. He is amazing.
Kona Moran and his team were perfect from the start to the finish. They were true professionals through the entire process. They understand the market and helped us come up with a listing price, and then created the perfect listing with pictures that showed our home as amazing as we saw it. They did such a good job we had full offers in 3 days of listing, and accepted an offer on day 7. They handled the entire process with dedication, extreme care, and confidence. With their help we closed early and I was able to enjoy an Alaskan Hunting trip I had planned for years. I highly recommend Kona and his team with 100% confidence! Thank you Kona and Hilo Brokers!
We bought and sold 2 homes with Kona Moran. We feel so blessed to have worked with him, as he is both an excellent realtor and became a great friend in the process. He is extremely professional, hard working, thorough, has great attention to detail and is well known throughout the island. He always gave us great advice, and all 4 transactions were easy and flawless. It’s a family business and his brother, Jake Moran went above and beyond to support us in our last sale. Highly recommend using Hilo Brokers!
In 2018 I purchased my Pahoa, Hawaii home and worked with Kona Moran for the first time. Being from the mainland I quickly realized there were differences in how things operate on the Island. With every question Kona was there. As the years passed I came to understand that Kona does not quit once he sells a property. He is ALWAYS available, always professional and made me feel part of the Island culture. There is no doubt he is a team player. In 2021, I decided it was time to sale. Kona was right there by my side gain guiding, recommending, and helping with even the smallest details as I began my remodel. If I needed anything, he knew someone that could help. Without hesitation, I strongly would recommend Kona with Hilo Brokers.
Kona was an outstanding resource in helping us purchase our first home. His knowledge of the industry, attention to detail, and proactive communication were all first class. Kona made the entire process of buying extremely user friendly and fun. I would highly recommend Kona and the Hilo Brokers team to anyone and will be going straight to them for any future needs.
I worked with Kona Moran and the Hilo Broker team to sell some land. The process went very smooth and they were on top of it the entire way. Kona kept us up to date and was aware of potential items that could impact our sale. He made valuable recommendations so we could keep the process moving forward. It was a pleasure working with him!
When our home became too big due to our children moving out, we decided to sell our beloved home. We were honestly expecting a stressful year of confusion and disappointment in the process of listing and selling our home. From the first day we met Kona, we felt a sense of honesty and understanding. He instinctively knew how much our home meant to us, and we knew that Kona had our best interest at heart. He is a man of integrity and earned every ounce of our respect. Calls, texts, and emails were always answered. We quickly learned that he truly loves what he does, which is evident in his knowledge and understanding of the real estate business. The entire Hilo Brokers team is professional and used marketing techniques like 3D virtual tours that were fantastic. We highly recommend Kona Moran and Hilo Brokers.
