Gabe's name was given to me, so I didn't know him before. I left a message, he called me immediately and got to work selling my property with speed and alacrity. He was responsive to my phone calls and answered my questions. When a glitch came up, he waited patiently until that got solved and then VOILA! The sale was complete. I'm very happy with the service he provided and would recommend him with no hesitation. (Thanks, Gabe.)

Gabe Winker helped us find our perfect piece of heaven in Kona. He is incredibly approachable, patient and down to earth. His low key nature was a perfect match for us. We loved spending time with him and getting to know the area and exploring different properties. We would highly recommend his services and expertise if you are looking for a place on the Big Island.

Gabe was great to work with during the process of finding our new home in Kona. Trying to buy a home in this market when you don't live on island seemed nearly impossible, but after 6 months of searching we got one! Gabe knows the island very well and steered us away from properties that looked good in a listing but not so great in person. He definitely helped us find the home for us within our price range. He never showed us anything more expensive than we were comfortable spending. He was honest and up front about everything. He doesn't sugar coat things or make anything seem better than it is which I appreciate being 4000 miles away! He even found us a great mortgage broker and saved us a lot of money. Thanks to Gabe our dream of living in Hawaii is coming true!

As a first time home buyer in Hawaii, Gabe was invaluable in walking me through every step of the process. He was able to use his knowledge to actually make the sale happen quickly, especially from the loan process to the seller's acceptance. I am sure I would not be living in my new home now if I had chosen another real estate agent. Thank you Gabe!

Excellent services. Helped me find the perfect home that fit my needs and preferences. Gabe gave me plenty of options and kept me updated on the newest homes out on the market. He is extremely knowledgeable about locations and communities on the big island. All paperwork and documents were handled with ease and he helped answer all questions that I had pertaining to sale.

Gabe was a huge gift to our Kona home search! He listened closely, searched diligently and negotiated wisely. He has my highest recommendation for anyone looking to purchase a home or property in the Kailua Kona area.

Gabe was instrumental in getting my house sold. Not being local to the house he handled all aspects of preparing the home, staging and orchestrating contractors to take care of repairs negotiated in the sale.

If you need a hands-on real estate agent to sell your Big Island home, I recommend Gabe Winkler of Koa Realty! Gabe grew up on the Big Island, so he knows all the different neighborhoods and is well-connected with locals. I have never bought or sold a house before, but my elderly mother, a longtime resident of Kona Palisades, passed away and we needed to sell her home for the estate. We live on the mainland, and needed to sell the home "as is." That is why I needed someone knowledgeable and well-connected in Kona. Gabe advised me as to what needed to be done/repaired to get the home in shape to sell. Together we were able to hire a handymen, electrician, plumber, tree trimmer, termite company, etc., to get the home in decent shape. Gabe ran the open houses, etc., without my help, and he generated a lot of interest in the home. Despite Kilauea's active eruption (which drastically slowed the market down), and the interest rates climbing last November and December, we held out and were able to get a decent price for the home. There's just one more thing I'd like to tell you about Gabe - he's good at communication! This is so very important, especially with me being on the mainland. Gabe returns phone calls and answer emails and texts in a timely manner - usually the same day. We had a lot to discuss and deadlines to meet, and he was good at explaining the paperwork and answering my questions. Having good communication with Gabe made all the difference! So for an honest guy who's not afraid to put in the work to earn his pay, I recommend Gabe Winkler!

Gabe was simply amazing! He always responded right away, gave me his personal cell for communication, and was available all hours of the day. I felt like I was discussing my questions with a friend rather than a 9-5 realtor, it was such a pleasure dealing with him. Gabe has a great understanding of the real estate market and the true values of homes. He explained to us really well our options with the pros and cons of each home. He was really into the whole journey with us to make our dream come true. We took a long time to find the right home, and signed 3 contracts which didn't close for different reasons. All along Gabe was patient with us, never pressured us in, and was always there to support our decision. Overall it was a great experience, better than I ever imagined. I will definitely recommend Gabe to friends and family. Thank you all.
