About Mike Drutar

2019 REALTOR of the Year for West Hawaii. I'm very proud to have been chosen as the REALTOR of the Year for West Hawaii, setting me apart from the 830 other agents in our market. Since 2004 I have served the West Hawaii market, representing both buyers and sellers in their transactions. I feel what sets me apart from my competition is my ability to look at every transaction from both sides. For both buyers and sellers, it's important to understand the motivations for the party on the other side in order to create a contract which will not only meet my clients needs, but will make sure that the other party finds the contract appealing enough to accept and close on the transaction. Oftentimes, price is not the most important factor for the other party, and if their other needs are met, the price for my clients can be very favorable. My experience allows me to alert my clients to under-priced properties (yes, that does happen!) which they may be interested in, when the best course of action is a timely offer to beat the market. In 2017 I was very proud to be elected by my peers to be President the West Hawaii Association of REALTORS. This is also a testament to my ability to work effectively with other REALTORS in order to help my clients achieve their goals. I also Chair the Government Affairs Committee as we work to increase the voice of property owners and their rights in West Hawaii. I also am one of the very few REALTORS (about 20) in the State of Hawaii to be chosen to serve at the national level. For 2018 I serve on the National Association of REALTORS Member Communications Committee where I chair a work group. In 2019, I will serve on the Resort and Second Home Committee, which will no doubt bring additional knowledge and perspectives to my clients here in Hawaii. I completed the training to be a Certified Negotiation Expert, which has taken my negotiation skills to the highest level. This skill set is another tool I have to get the result my clients want; not just getting the deal done, but getting the deal you want, done.

Mike did a great job helping us find a home. He understood what we were looking for and answered our many questions throughout the process. Mike aided us in navigating through some difficult issues and went above and beyond. He has great communication and follow up skills, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him!

During a vacation in August 2021, my wife and I decided to relocate to the Big Island. We started out with zero contacts, and I decided to give Mike a call based on his positive online reviews. He did not disappoint. From the start, Mike stayed on top of things for us, even arranging a showing on short notice the day before we had to fly back. Mike was out of the state at the time, but he still responded quickly and had one of his associates start helping us right away. He encouraged us through some initial disappointments and tried to anticipate problems throughout the process, contacting us right away with any signs of trouble. We felt that Mike was honest and unbiased in setting expectations and helping us find properties that suited our needs. With his help, we ended up with a great house and completed our move in slightly over 3 months despite a difficult real estate market. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a place on the Big Island!

We were searching for our first vacation rental and reached out to several agents on the Big Island. Mike was one of the first to respond and immediately we knew he would represent us well. He had great advice, knowledge of the area and current market trends that proved valuable when making offers in this market. The Condo we purchased was 100% exactly what we were looking for and we actually never set foot in it until after the closing. Mike viewed and created a entertaining/detailed walk through of the condo for us to view. Honestly had we been there in person I would have been distracted by things and the video was perfect for remembering the details. He also worked closely with my husband to go see properties as soon as they became available. Being the first to view, guidance on making an offer and his commitment to us was what secured this property. We are so happy with our purchase!!! Mahalo Nui Loa Mike!

This is our 4th time working with Mike. I truly appreciate how Mike lays out all the information available and supports whatever decision we make while continuing to offer guidance along the way. He has a way of meeting our needs and educating us each time we go through the process either as buyers or sellers. There is a reason we keep working with Mike and that reason is each adventure we have success. The next time we are buying on the west side, we are working with Mike again! Thanks Mike! You are awesome!
