I recently sold my parent’s house in Honokaa. Being from Oahu, I contacted Coldwell Banker on the Big Island for a referral and was given Melissa Smith’s name. Melissa contacted me and guided me through the process from start to finish. She was able to complete the sale of my parent’s home in a few months, which surprised me. I really thought it was going to take a lot longer.Being that I live on a different island and not knowing anything about selling a home, she took control of everything that needed to be done on my parent’s house to ensure that I would be able to sell their house in a timely manner. Each step of the way, she explained what and why things needed to be done. She also guided me through the necessary paperwork and was always available if I had any questions. I am truly grateful that she was my realtor and would recommend Melissa to anyone that is considering selling or purchasing a home or condominium.John Chung

To Whom it may concern,I would like to first apologize that this recommendation took so long. Back in August of last 2023 Melissa Smith was recommended to me by yours and my rental agent Felicia Orian tosell my house at 64-252 Mamalahoa Hwy, Kamuela.Melissa took the time to listen to me and then was straight up honest with me. Noshenanigans. Melissa recommended a higher price than I thought and she was right. She took the time to take nice pictures and her husband used a drone to take aerial shoots. These were awesome. She let me know what I could do to help sell the house and what would be a waste of money for me to do. Melissa was a dream to work with and was constantly communicating with me throughout the process. Melissa treats you like you are part of her family. The house sold in September of 2023 and for more than I originally expected.I would recommend and work with Melissa Smith anytime. In my opinion she is atop notch person and Realtor.Melissa, you are awesome and I mean that with all my heart. I hope we can do business again.Thank you, Rickey Ormiston

Melissa was such a pleasure to work with in securing our first home on Big Island. She helped us navigate through some complicated financing issues and was always easy to get ahold of when we had questions. If we are ever looking to buy our sell in the future, Melissa will definitely be the person we will reach out to. She is professional, responsive, and goes that extra mile to make you feel like your being taken care of.

Melissa Smith is a wonderful realtor. She supported us completely through 6 offers and a (almost) two year process to sell our condo and buy our Kona dream house.

For those looking for a exemplary real estate agent I recommend Melissa Smith
of Island Properties Coldwell Bankers! I’ve just closed escrow on my
Kealakekua house, and Melissa guided me down that road extremely well. She
went above and beyond what I felt a realtor should have to do. She has a keen
attention to detail one would find in a wedding planner. I asked a million
questions and she was always right there with any info I needed. Her caring
manner shows through, I felt I could ask her anything.
My property was a rental with long term tenants whom I was quite attached to
and wanted the best for them during this transition. Melissa made sure
everybody was updated and even helped out the older couple on occasions.
I feel she represented me well as the sellers agent, kept an eagle eye out for all
the little details that come up in a sale of a house. I always felt she was right
there next to me, even though I live out of state. I finally got to meet her during
the final walk thru and felt like I had known her all along.
So, obviously I can’t say enough about Melissa, I’m hoping you will too.

First and foremost, thank you for finding the most perfect lot for our spec home. You really listened to what we were looking for and within our budget! You are amazing in the fact that we only looked at one! Your advice on what to offer in the negotiations, and the paperwork was seamless!
We only wish we knew you were a Realtor when we sold our last home, which did not go as smoothly! We definitely will refer you to our friends when they are looking to buy!
