You cannot find a better agent than Mike Despard. He is knowledgeable, trust-worthy, friendly and easy to talk with. He made our buying experience so positive. If I could give him 10 stars, I would.My girlfriend and I had decided to move to the Big Island from the Bay area as part of our empty nest, life simplification plan (once we get our daughter into College in 2 years.) We decided to start the search early as we both are opinionated had some very specific ideas in mind on what sort of property we wanted. We figured it would take some time to identify the right house at the right price. How wrong we were.It may have been dumb luck or perhaps a recognition of the great resource he is in the positive reviews I read, but we found Mike Despard as our representative and could not be any happier. Like many who start the buying process in Hawaii, we started the process remotely with a phone call to Mike. In that first call, I immediately recognized we had the right person in just the ease in which he made us feel as we discussed our plans. Mike communicates well and patiently answered all our questions with a depth of knowledge of not only real estate, but also the Island itself. We had a previously planned a trip to the island but unfortunately it was for virtually the only week he was out of town with family on the mainland so he could not personally meet with us on that visit. This did not stop him for quickly helping us map out a plan for visiting neighborhoods on our own that fit our criteria perfectly. This helped us narrow down many the areas that we wanted to live. Mike immediately went to work and we looked at houses remotely and talked to him weekly about possibilities with the goal of coming out again and meeting with him sometime in the future. I truly think it is unusual how much care and attention he gave us before he actually knew us. We were even up front about not really wanting to purchase a house for two years yet Mike always took the time to answer our questions and go look at new houses on the market that we thought might be interesting. He had no idea if we would ever buy anything, yet he treated us so well.We did manage to get back to the island to meet with Mike and he took us on a 1 day, whirlwind, 17 house tour to help us further narrow down our ideal house and neighborhood. He was so extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk too. I am just shy of ignorant when it comes to home purchase, especially in Hawaii, but Mike really put me at ease. He has a great sense of humor and the day went by so fast. It was fun. The end result: we discovered that we really wanted to live in just one particular neighborhood where there were no more than 30-40 houses available. How is that for giving him a tough task? In no time, Mike found us a pocket listing that was perfect and in our budget and it was in our preferred neighborhood. Amazing. I really expected to need the whole two years to find the right property. Finding the property is not where Mike really shines. It is the steps that follow where he demonstrates the value he brings as an agent. Mike shepherded us through the nervousness of negotiation, the elation of bid acceptance and the detailed list of tasks that must be completed to get the house through escrow. We were novices and Mike took such good care of us and represented our interests well. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Mike. If anything, I am understating his value and I heartily recommend him for your home buyingselling needs
