My wife and I were born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and neither of us had lived anywhere outside of the Bay Area. Wed spent a few vacations on the Big Island of Hawaii and the Island of Oahu, always dreaming of buying a house with some land. It always seemed like a pipe dream back then, but hey...no harm in dreaming. It wasnt until our two daughters went off to college and the housing market in the Bay Area went nuts that we considered moving. The price of homes skyrocketed and the quality of life was just not what we wanted; too many people, crowded roads, two to three hour commutes. We decided to take a chance and sell our home in the Bay Area for a decent profit and make a move to the Big Island. Wed done our homework on the type of home we wanted on the Big Island and amount of land we desired given our budget, sifting through hundreds of homes until we whittled down our selections to about a dozen homes. We then went through the process of selecting a real estate agent. After reading through dozens of agent reviews via Zillow and other sites, we selected an agent that was born and raised on the Big Island and advertised a strong background dealing with clients who were like us...trying to buy a home remotely.Unfortunately, once we let the first agent know our budgetary constraints, communication with the agent seemed to fall off. Calls and E-mails went unreturned for days, and when we were able to talk with the agent, the agent made me and my wife feel like we were bothering her. Needless to say, we moved on from the first agent and contacted Howard Maguro. It was the best decision we ever made for our home search.We provided Howard details on what we were looking for and the areas we were interested in buying a home. He immediately signed us up for MLS listings to be automatically E-mailed to us. He also provided information and insight into homes unique to the areas we were searching, as well as other areas that we really had not considered. At the time, competition for housing was stiff. People were receiving insurance payout checks from the recent losses suffered from the Kilauea eruption, so homes on the market were selling days after being listed. Howard was more than up to the task. Even after we let him know how little of a budget we were dealing with, he didnt balk. He made us feel like the most important people he had ever dealt with. He was patient, kind, informative and on the ball with every transaction...every home we were interested in researching, viewing and/or placing a bid on. When Id text him a quick question or two, he would respond in minutes. When sending him an E-mail, hed respond within 15 to 20 minutes. After leaving him a voicemail, he would make it a point to call me back within 30 minutes. Heck, I would have been okay with a return call a few hours later or the next day.There were about half a dozen homes we asked Howard to research and walk through on our behalf; we were in California and depended on him to be our eyes and ears. Not a problem for Howard. He performed video recordings of each home we asked him to walk through on the Big Island, capturing each and every room of every homeaEUR|.the landscapes of each home...carports...closets...neighboring homes. He was forthright with every walk through and assessment. He would point out any damage to the home, let us know if a neighborhood was sketchy or if a neighboring home had problematic animals (loud / rough looking guard dogs) that may not be good for families or if the noise was off the charts due to dozens of roosters, unpaved roads, abandoned cars in nearby empty lots, ETC. He made sure to capture all aspects of each home...each property...good and bad. His videos were often posted the same dayaEUR|.an hour or two after each walk through. All in all, my wife and I found our forever home on the Big Island, all thanks to the patience, care and prompt attention Howard Maguro provided. Without his help, knowledge and insight, we'd probably still be looking for a home. We cant recommend Howard Maguro enough if youre considering a home purchase on the Big Island.

Howard Meguro Review My husband and I embarked on the difficult task of selling our 3-acre parcel located on the Big Island of Hawaii. It can be a daunting process under the best of circumstances, but made even more so considering we reside on the mainland thousands of miles away. Our best decision was to enlist Howard Meguro as our realtor. He had the credentials and experience we were looking for in an agent to help guide us through the process and tend to the details of listing and marketing the land for sale. We liked him immediately and found him to be aloha friendly, professional, easy to work with, diligent, and very responsive. His knowledge of the area and surrounding communities was tremendous as was his counsel and experienced advice when it came time to pricing the parcel based on the current market, and not on our expectations. We received an offer immediately. Howard remained positive and supportive in all regards throughout the process from start to closing. He made an arduous and stressful process much less so. Needless to say, we are extremely happy and are thankful to have had Howard on our team working with us. If you are looking for a professional realtor who will represent your best interests and help you navigate a difficult and at times cumbersome process, we recommend that you seriously consider Howard.
