As an active Realtor since 1999, my real estate experience is enhanced by my island heritage. I am a 5th-generation resident in this beautiful state, where aloha is not just a greeting but a way of life. Having lived on Maui, Kauai, Oahu and Hawaii islands, I know each for its coastlines, mountain ranges and climates.
Having sold property from Waimea to Honokaa, Volcano to Hilo and the west coast of the Big Island, I am well-versed in the sale and acquisition of residential homes, vacant land properties, and condominium purchase. I blend persistence, exceptional service, professionalism and knowledge of the "local way of living" into every transaction.
If you are a buyer, I will lead you through the qualification process, diligently help you search for the right property, write a contract that addresses your needs and wants, and follow it through to a successful closing.
For sellers, you & I will determine the "right" price that will sell your property as quickly as possible. I will market your property throughout the world via the web, as well as locally to ensure we will find the right buyer.
Whether you need a persistent agent to sell your home, or you need help to find and secure your dream home or property, I have the experience and the Aloha to help.
From the moment I connected with Nalani regarding the sale of our home she stepped into action. She walked us through the required paperwork in a kind, helpful, and reassuring manner. She gave solid, attainable suggestions on how to best prepare the property. She communicated with us frequently about the progress of the sale and often reached out to others for additional information and feedback. Nalani went above and beyond what are typically the requirements of a realtor before, during, and even after the sale. Because of her efforts, our house sold quickly for a higher price than we thought possible. Nalani Hance comes with my highest recommendation!Karee Hall
Nalani is a rock star realtor, and I felt very lucky to get to work with her. She has the depth of knowledge that comes from many years of working in a specific location. Aside from her incredible experience she is a hard worker, incredibly thorough, honest, and personable. She is everything you need in a realtor and more. I would highly recommend her to anybody seeking to buy or sell real estate, she is a diamond.Jennifer Voth
I am happy to recommend Nalani Hance, who did an outstanding job helping me sell my home on the Big Island of Hawaii.Because I live on the mainland, I relied heavily on Nalani’s local expertise and trusted her to manage every step of the process. She worked directly with the tenants, meeting with them and handling the sensitive task of coordinating their move-out so renovations could take place. She then provided excellent guidance on preparing the property for market, offering thoughtful insight into which improvements would add value and how best to present the home.Nalani was consistently thorough, professional, and attentive to detail. Her communication was clear and timely, and she made what could have been a complicated, long-distance transaction feel smooth and well-managed.I would confidently recommend Nalani Hance to anyone buying or selling property on the Big Island. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly committed to her clients.Sincerely,Albert Pessah
The property we listed with Nalani sold in record time at full asking price, and with minimal effort on our part. She provided both indoor and outdoor staging, and had contact info for all the local service providers we needed. Nalani went above and beyond the call to assure that utilities were transferred and permits were cleared. As out-of-towners, her knowledge of local practices gave us peace of mind.
This wealth of local knowledge combined with her incredible work ethic, her years of experience, and keen social skills were an unbeatable combination. Throughout the process, she was very communicative and accessible. We were impressed with her ability to be both professional and friendly with us and our buyers. She skillfully kept the transaction focused and assured an on-time closing which was very important to us.
To sum it up, Nalani assured that we quickly and painlessly got our asking price and closed on time. Thank you, Nalani!
We are so glad to have had Nalani Hance as our real estate agent. She was truly concerned with us and our family as we went thru the entire purchase process. She is intelligent and knew what the build & purchase process is all about as well as local laws, regulations, general construction, what a house should have, etc. Plus, she has a good working relationship with everyone else involved in this, from the builder, seller, inspectors, and those at the mortgage company. She pointed us to several resources that have helped after the purchase. Not once did she miss a beat! She has even followed up after the closing to check on my family. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Nalani. If we ever purchase there again, we will surely go back to her! Thanks so much, Nalani! Best wishes!
Once we decided to look for a home in the Waimea area, Nalani added us to an on-line list to view any available properties for sale. A few days later we saw the listing of our dream Waimea property. Nalani was waiting for a flight home at LAX but promptly wrote up and submitted our offer prior to her flight and let us know we were accepted after she landed in Hawaii! Life changed course unexpectedly 5 years later, when my elderly parents shared their wish to move into our home with us. We decided to sell our Waimea house and purchase a bigger house to accommodate our growing household in the warmer climate of Waikoloa. Nalani worked with us on the complicated purchase of the Waikoloa property, which was in a brand-new development with no houses yet built. She simultaneously guided us on doing repairs and improvements on our Waimea house, and then sold our house in just 4 days, at a price considerably higher than our asking price. 2 years later, by which time my parents had moved out of our shared Waikoloa home and into an assistive care facility in Kona, we knew that we wanted to move out of resort living and back to a rural lifestyle. We quickly prepared to sell our Waikoloa home and purchase a home in North Hawaii. Nalani guided us with repairs on the Waikoloa home. It sold in 3 months, again at a higher price than we had initially considered. During the sale of our Waikoloa home, Nalani showed us a 5.5-acre property with a 4-year-old custom-built house in Ahualoa. We quickly fell in love with this amazing property and purchased it.In the 9 years that we have known Nalani, she has skillfully and deftly assisted us through 3 house/property purchases, and 2 house/property sales. Nalani is extremely intuitive and perceptive and quickly points us in the right directions. She is quick to start and is diligent and consistent with her work.
