About Tessie Fontes

Aloha,
I am truly grateful and excited to begin this new chapter focusing on the Luxury Market. As a local wahine born and raised on the Big Island of Hawai'i, I have a deep appreciation for the unique beauty and diversity of our island, from its stunning beaches to its majestic volcanoes.
With over a decade as a Real Estate Professional, including more than two years specializing in the Luxury Market, I am well-equipped to assist you with all your real estate needs. I am a proud recipient of the GUILD recognition award and have experience assisting clients with properties across a range of price points, always ensuring the highest level of service. I am committed to guiding you through every step of the process with my expanded expertise.
Outside of real estate, I enjoy practicing yoga, exploring the outdoors, traveling, experiencing authentic cuisines, and visiting museums.
I look forward to the opportunity to assist you.
Mahalo,

Tease Fontes with Coldwell Banker was outstanding in all aspects of finding our new home in Hawaii. She tirelessly worked with us to find available properties in our selected area and budget over a period of 2 years. Tessie is very knowledgeable of market trends on the Big Island and nationally, providing reliable information to assist in making appropriate offers. She patiently guided us through every step of purchasing our condo and went above and beyond to assure that all conditions were met. When we finally closed on our forever home, Tessie was there to share our experience. She is highly professional in all of her interactions and is highly respected by her colleagues in the field.

Awesome job Tessie!!

Tessie was outstanding. She showed us every home we were interested in, and was available anytime of day for questions. She made time on weekend to show us houses, and worked with our schedule. Which was a big deal for us because my husband scheduled is crazy. When we found our home she made the process smooth and very fast. She meet me at signing and she was the one to give our keys. She was awesome and made the experience pleasant ??
