D'Arcy was a godsend to help us with this process. Her experience and approach to the process were invaluable to us. The rest of the team that we interacted with, Maria and Heather, were also excellent for their timeliness, great communication skills and positivity. A+ all around. Aloha.

D'Arcy Kerrigan exhibited in-depth knowledge of the market value of the property. We received a bid that was equal to her estimated amount. D'Arcy Kerrigan 'staged' the property to show it in it's best light. Her taste and strategy worked as a top dollar bid that was achieved. D'Arcy Kerrigan handled all aspects of the sale dealing with an absentee owner from the mainland.

D'Arcy Kerrigan is my idea of an outstanding Realtor. She conducted the sale of my home on Kalaheo Avenue in Kailua. She was involved in all phases of the sale, which included the removal of occupants in the home and all the problems that it created. She had the responsibility of settling the solution prior to continuing to the process of the sale. D'Arcy wanted the sale to be special using her in depth knowledge of the home and grounds and she accomplished all goals. Careful planning, scheduling and following through while adjusting timing and facing the unknown. Complications arose and was handled with skill, maturity and hard work. D'Arcy has friends in the real estate community and that allows for good relationships and sharing of essential information. All the above was accomplished while I was on the mainland, which added the stress and complication to the whole endeavor; which was to sell my home successfully, and that she did. She is forever a dedicated Realtor and no obstacle is too difficult for D'Arcy.

When we put our Kona property up for sale, we had decided to do a 1031 exchange for a rental property on O'ahu. We did not have a realtor here, so I asked our financial planner and accountant for a referral. Without hesitation, she highly recommended D'Arcy Kerrigan. Our search for a replacement property began right away. However, we did not get an offer on the Kona property for over a year. D'Arcy patiently continued to guide us in our search as we waited for the 1031 clock to begin running. This time was not wasted, as she educated us about the real estate market, as well as what we could expect with the 1031. She let us know as soon as properties became available and we met at numerous open houses on Sunday afternoons. She also arranged for several private showings with her numerous realtor contacts. When we finally got an offer on Kona that we accepted, we felt that we were fully prepared for the 1031 exchange. But finding that right property was a challenge. Out first accepted offer looked like a great deal until the house inspection revealed it to be a nightmare. We asked D'Arcy to retract our offer. As our 1031 deadline approached, we made another offer which we finally decided was not right for us. We were difficult clients, but there was not a hint of a complaint from D'Arcy. Throughout the whole experience, D'Arcy had nothing but our interests at heart. We finally found the right property and closed the deal. When it was over, we knew we had worked with the right realtor. Her decades of experience in the O'ahu real estate market served us very well on several occasions. Her longstanding relationships with title companies, mortgage brokers, house inspectors, handymen, etc. resulted in the recommendations for professional, expedient assistance that we needed. D'Arcy usually knew, or knew of the listing agent. This contributed to her effectiveness when it was time to negotiate. Above all, D'Arcy acted with integrity. In a profession that offers temptations to compromise integrity, she was always concerned with doing the right thing. We've developed a friendship based on trust and respect, as well as sharing in a very fruitful and satisfying real estate experience.

These areas are examples of D'Arcy's excellence: 1. Market Information: Immediately upon contact, we got very detailed & complete information on what our house was worth and market comparisons which determined our list price. 2. Service: D'Arcy is the most personable and helpful agent I could have chosen as an "out of town" seller. She not only helped stage & clean the home but continued to support whatever needs had to be done for showing & closing. She even took out trash barrels! 3. Closing: We had two offers, one immediately which fell thru than another "very picky buyer"! D'Arcy patiently helped me show the buyers thru at least 5 showings & followed up diligently with the less than honest co-agent & closed the deal. Even after much cleaning out, she took the last item & took care of it for us. She became like family. I highly recommend D'Arcy as an agent who goes far beyond what is necessary to help sell a house. She is a natural sales person who is very professional and personal at the same time.

Benefit From The Experience of a Waterfront Specialist

When it comes to buying and selling waterfront or beachfront property in Hawai’i, experience, expertise and a solid professional reputation can open doors and close transactions for clients. These transactions can be expensive and complex, especially for buyers from other parts of the country. Hawai’i real estate terms, procedures and laws are markedly different from those in other parts of the country and the world. It’s not just the major issues that can be complex or confusing. Every aspect of a transaction demands attention: preparing contract, determining price, negotiating terms, financing, insurance and inspections. Guiding clients through intricate mazes to streamline the process of each transaction requires an intuitive understanding of Hawaii’s real estate market based on personal knowledge and experience. D’Arcy says, “based on taking hundreds of sales in Hawai’i to closing, I can often anticipate and eliminate needless interruptions.” The biggest benefit of having an experienced waterfront specialist representing you is the peace of mind you’ll gain and the time you save.
