Our experience with Derinda Thatcher was above and beyond what we could have ever expected. Her recommended asking price was $25,000 more than what we would have put the condo up for. Realtors came and looked and a consistent comment was that it was priced too high. It ended up selling for 50k higher than listing price. Derinda fielded every obstacle with complete professionalism. She is a problem solver. I didn't have the STR certificate. Not a problem, Derinda got it.All in all she made the sale seamless. I have and would not hesitate her in the future.

Derinda was proactive from our first contact with her. We gave her a set of criteria we were looking for in a condo/house and she responded with several creative ideas. We were able to see houses that met our criteria within a few days; then we realized that we needed to adjust our criteria just a bit and Derinda immediately adjusted what she showed us. We are both professionals (retired) and expected a certain level of responsiveness and shepherding through the process; Derinda and her team exceeded what we expected. When our seller dropped the ball on certain details, Derinda stepped in and made sure the process was completed smoothly and in a very timely fashion. She is a pro in every sense of the word and we can recommend her without reservations. If we decide to move again, Derinda will be our first call.

I found Derinda to be honest, knowledgeable and she gets things done in a timely manner. I loved working with her and love my new condo. She sold a home for me last May of 2020 and did such a great job I contacted her for the purchase of this condo.

Derinda and her team were great to work with both while on island and from the Mainland. She made the process of purchasing a home long-distance very easy, coordinating as much as possible and doing many FaceTime viewings.
The market on the Big Island is HOT right now, but there was never any pressure and we knew we could trust their feedback and input on a location or a home. Would highly recommend Derinda!!

We had the pleasure of having Derinda as our agent. We did everything remotely and Derinda was very reliable and helped us a lot during the whole process as we didn't have experience in buying a property in Hawaii. She listened to our needs and helped us find a property suitable for us.
Thank you Derinda!!!

It was a pleasure to work with Derinda and her team. Derinda is very professional. She understands the Kona real estate market and makes really good suggestions on how to make your property more marketable. She follows up on all issues and always responds promptly to questions and concerns. Her team set us up for a successful sale and followed through with all aspects of the process. We were a bit apprehensive about selling during this pandemic, but Derinda really came through for us. Thanks so much!! We highly recommend Derinda!

Derinda Thatcher's " Team Sold Kona " are the best! Derina and her team sold my home in Kona for top dollar and did it quickly. I find her to be honest, professional and very knowledgeable with local savvy. I would highly recommend her to anyone in Hawaii that needs a professional and a great realtor to work with.

Tina was very professional, always kept us informed with status on our listing and activity. The actual listing was very informative and photos were professionally taken. Tina contacted several local Realtors and builders about our property and our lot was one of the first sales in both Bayview and Keauhou Estates in the last 6-9+ months. My wife and I would highly recommend Tina Kitchens for any future listings and/or representing a buyer do to her professionalism, knowledge of the area and walking us through the process of closing our sale.

‘Simply the Best!’
No more visits and part time vacations—we sold our house on the mainland and were moving to Hawaii. But how to find a place or even a realtor?
A friend said DERINDA THATCHER. And boy was she right! Before we even left the mainland Derinda showed us around a home we liked with her iPhone. We ended up letting that go, but after looking at several other homes, found our dream.
There was dickering over price but Derinda made it happen. Next the sellers wanted to walk away because they didn’t like our lender (previous problems they had had), but Derinda found a way to keep the deal going. The inspection came and Derinda made that work in our favor. Whatever the crisis or obstacle Derinda magically made it disappear. She even sent us a photo of the spray she uses to keep insects from invading her house. (I often joked that if I wasn’t sure which tissue to buy at Costco i could text Derinda and she would tell me. And of course she would be right!)
Human, warm, fun, punctual, and she gets the job done! Over the years I have had numerous realtors show me houses. I have had 4 realtors help me buy or sell a house. All were good and I appreciate what they did. But none were Derinda.
If you want ‘THE BEST’ go with Derinda.

Derinda helped me find and purchase 2 properties in Kona. She was truly a pleasure to work with! She has been doing this a long time and knows the ropes. Both purchases went very smoothly in spite of the fact I was living in California at the time. We toured a number of properties when I was visiting but when I returned to California she continued to look for properties that would interest me. We did a few home tours on the phone with Facetime. That did not always work well due to phone reception in certain areas but when it failed she sent pictures. I highly recommend Derinda!

Derinda and her team are outstanding professionals in every regard. Throughout the entire process, from listing to staging to showings to closing, their expertise, knowledge of the area and attention to detail were remarkable. We were always kept well informed and came away from our home sale experience impressed by the ease with which it all transpired; courtesy of the extraordinary efforts of Derinda and TeamSold.

We can’t say enough positive comments reference our selling experience with Derinda and her team of Tina and Jessica. Our home sold in just 44 days and we couldn’t be more pleased with the effort Derinda and her team contributed to this quick sale. They did a fantastic job of staging our home and were always available for any questions or concerns we had during the entire process. In the short time we lived on the island (5 yrs.) we used Derinda as our Realtor for 3 home transactions. (One buy and two sells)
In our opinion she must be the BEST realtor in Kona. Her longevity in as a Realtor and in the same area for all those years speaks volumes regarding her success.
Whenever we hear of a friend who is thinking of selling we always provide them with Derinda’s name as being the top agent with Clark Reality. We are extremely confident that when recommend Derinda and her team of Tina and Jessica to a friend that they will not be disappointed.
Always remember that Buying or Selling a home can be, and is, a Very Emotional event, so why not go with the BEST to professionally guide you though this experience.

Derinda and her associates went above and beyond all expectations I had with respect to the sale of my property. Her and her team took care of all details of the sale while I was afforded the ease of being able to stay on the mainland. I can't thank them enough, I can't recommend them enough.
If you want to sell property in the Kona area, these are the people to use and trust.

We listed our lot with Derinda on recommendations from friends and of her exceptional reputation within the Community of Kona. Her professionalism and experience brought a closing within less than a month from listing with her. I cannot find enough words of praise and gratitude for her in bringing a buyer quickly and closing the sale without any delays at all.

Our family of four visited Maui and Big Islands spanning the end of 2017 and the first few days of 2018, falling in love with beautiful Hawaii. We asked ourselves if we should purchase a vacation home or perhaps a future retirement home here. We met Chelsea and Derinda by accident. Chelsea was able to find us several homes that met our requirements and showed us around the Kona area. We identified a target but unfortunately another offer came in while we were touring the house. We did not get our dream house but had such a good experience with Chelsea and team that we told ourselves if we are going to buy any property in Kona, we will sure to have them represent us!

We had a very positive experience selling our house through Derinda Thatcher and her excellent team. They managed much of the paperwork or helped us navigate through it. She arranged for excellent professionals to stage our house and to photograph it to maximum advantage. The result was sale in just a few days. And, through multiple bids, we realized a significantly higher price than it had been listed for. This was largely due to Derindas efforts and expertise. All in all, a very satisfying experience.

Derinda is every thing a buyer and/or seller needs in the real estate market.

Derinda has been my real estate agent for 18 years. I would not do anything without her advise and counsel. She has been my champion and anybody that "lands" her as their agent can feel comfortable she will do the same for you! My house was on the market a little over one month and Derinda was extremely helpful with assistance in showing, making sure my dog was always cared after during the showings. She truly lent the personal touch, even while she was traveling. Thank you Derinda

Derinda is fantastic to work with. She has been our agent through several transactions, both buying and selling.
In our most recent project, Derinda was immediately challenged with helping us to refresh the property. She provided guidance and worked with our contractor throughout the process. Derinda kept us informed about potential buyers and ultimately negotiated a deal that was just what we wanted.
We have been very fortunate to work with Derinda. Her personal service was instrumental in completing this transaction. We recommend her without reservation to anyone considering a real estate transaction in Kona.

Derinda did an outstanding job in marketing and selling our home. Her staging and photography made our home stand out above all others in our price range. This is the reason our house sold in four days at full price.

Over the years I operated as a Real Estate Brokers in Hawaii, Washington & California. It has been so many years that I wouldn't have dared trying to sell our own Home because so much has changed. I also owned & managed a mortgage company in Hawaii. I'm giving you my background to add credibility to my review of Derinda. Derinda was the listing Broker for our recent sale in the Keauhou Mauka area of Kona.
Derinda was very helpful in preparing our house for the market including providing a "no cost" interior designer to make suggestions on what to do to make the house more presentable. Next she hired a first class photograper to take pictures of the house both during daylight and at dusk. The house looked so good we were almost reluctant to sell it. The day the listing came out, Derinda arranged an open house for all of Kona's MLS members. The open house was very successful. t concluded at 12:30PM on a Thursday and we had ourr first showing at 1:10 PM. That couple wound up buyng the house at full price and we received a back up offer two days later a little bit higher!
It's a little bit scary selling a house in these "sue happy" days. Derinda was always there to give us guidance throughout the escrow period which was very re-assuring. The closing took place without a serious hitch. We could not have done it without her "positive attitude" guidance. We were extremely pleased with the jot she did. We recommend her without reservations.

You will not find a better agent on the Big Island of Hawaii. From the beginning, Derinda provided expert advice, pricing strategy, professional photography and home staging. She managed the entire process with ease relieving any anxiety we had. We sold in only 9 days with multiple offers, accepting one well above our asking price! It should be noted that much of this occurred while she was on a two week camping 'vacation' in the Colorado mountains. That is truly going above and beyond. We give Derinda and her team the highest marks. Look no further...she's the best.

Derinda Thatcher did an outstanding job as our real estate agent. As out-of-state owners, we relied on Derinda to handle the preparation and sale of our Kona Condo in our absence. She coordinated and scheduled all of the needed repair work, inspections, cleaning, staging, listing and showing of the property. Derinda has a network of local service providers that did an excellent job at reasonable prices and in a timely manner, thereby keeping our expenses low. She was very attentive to detail and responded to all issues to get us through the process as quickly as possible. Our property sold within the first week of listing for more than our initial asking price. Working with Derinda is a very productive and positive experience!

Derinda was very helpful in ultimately helping me buying two condos on the Big Island. I say ultimately because I actually backed out of buying an initial property (long story). She was very understanding, supportive and professional. Once I was on the mainland and circumstances changed, I contacted Derinda regarding another property I was interested in purchasing directly from the seller. She gave me good advice regarding dealing with the seller, however; it was Derinda that found a similar condo at a better price, thus saving me considerable money. I purchased a second condo in the same complex a few months later and she once again did a great job of handling the transaction. I highly recommend Derinda Thatcher. She is an outstanding Real Estate Professional!

Our realtor, Derinda Thatcher is bright, knowledgeable and very responsive. She helped sell our house in Holualoa and later locate and purchase our current home in Kona. Derinda is very experienced on the west side of the Big Island and particularly in the Kona area. I don't think we have ever caught her without an answer to any of our questions, or without a smile on her face. We would recommend, in fact encourage anyone looking for a responsible and honest real estate agent to call Derinda.

Derinda is everything you could possibly want in a real estate agent for the Big Island. Honest, hard working and always had our best interest in mind. If she did not have an expertise we needed, she found someone who did.
We wanted a specific location and made a full price offer on the property. We were totally surprised when the seller decided NOT to sell. Derinda knew our desires and spoke to other property owners in the area who were thinking of selling but had not listed the property. Voila! She found a property that was better suited to our needs!
Derinda is well connected and got our banker (who incidentally got us such a fantastic rate that we ended up refinancing our mainland home too saving us money and made our Hawaii purchase so much more affordable. Escrow went smoothly and our Hawaii dream home was a reality.
If you're looking for a Big Island real estate agent that you can trust, Derinda Thatcher is your agent. Honest, hard working, and tenacious to make your deal happen. Yes we are very happy customers and we promise that you will not be disappointed in choosing Derinda to represent you!
