About Mike Despard

Specialties:Buyer's Agent,Listing Agent,Relocation,Short-Sale When my family first visited the Big Island of Hawaii, it felt like home, and we didn't want to leave. Yes, the weather and beauty are more than desirable, but the people, the culture and the easiness of life won us over. I have worked in the real estate development, design and construction industries since 1993, when I earned my Bachelor of Architecture degree from Iowa State University. A lifelong fan of great design, I enjoy thinking creatively about houses and their potential. I know how to evaluate needs and wants in order to help you find ways to reach your goals. If you're selling, I will help you market and position your home for maximum results. If you're buying, I will help you find a home that is exactly what you want or perhaps one that just needs some creative help. I am a responsive agent, and I will update you on the process as much as you desire. My wife, Kristi (also a Hawaii Life real estate agent) and I enjoy working together and have spent many hours side by side renovating three of our own houses as well as tackling other design and remodeling projects for friends and clients. As a team, we know each other's strengths and know how to efficiently accomplish any task set before us. With our three children, we are involved in a local church that serves the community, and we also volunteer in the Kealakehe public schools and community events. With over twenty-five years of experience in the world of real estate, design and construction, I am ready to help you buy or sell your slice of paradise on the beautiful, big island of Hawaii. Mike

Mike is the best realtor I have ever worked with. He is knowledgeable, responsive, available, creative. He is an excellent communicator and really knows his stuff. He handled some very difficult moments for us and we are so happy that we now have this wonderful place. I would use him again and am sure I will be in the future sometime. I have worked with lots of realtors and Mike is the best.

My husband and I were referred to Mike Despard as we explored properties on the Big Island. Mike was very professional and helped us find a property that has become a great vacation home. Mike was responsive and thorough in all sale and closing processes. I highly recommend his services.

My wife & I were interested in purchasing land on the Big Island sight unseen during the pandemic. I contacted Mike and he was friendly & responsive and a pleasure to work with. Mike helped keep the whole process clear and easy, and now we have our future home site!

My family and I recently moved back to the Big Island and a friend referred us to Mike. Mike was great at showing us homes and giving us great feedback on properties and his opinion on the market. We saw several properties and Mike was very communicative and available with the whole process. We trusted him to help us make a great investment for our family and we were not disappointed. Mike made the process smooth and efficient. I would definitely recommend Mike will definitely work with him again for any of our real estate needs. Thanks for all your hard work Mike:)
