Client Testimonials
At Property Marketing of Hawaii we have a very different philosophy than most real estate companies. With all the time we spend assisting buyers as they go through the process of searching for the right property, negotiating a favorable price, obtaining the best mortgage, and monitoring the escrow process to closing— we find that we are no longer agent and client— but friends. 

After all, we are now members of the same intimate community. We see our clients at the beach, downtown, or while having dinner. We take pride in being able to look them in the eye, knowing that they are happy in their new home. We find it very gratifying knowing that we have played a part in fulfilling someone's dream of living in paradise. We look forward to enjoying them as our neighbors for years to come.

What our clients are saying:
Penny and I want to thank you for the great job you did locating and helping us buy our home in Kona. However, our greatest thanks is for the unexpected help you gave us settling in to our new home town. The advice on mortgage, insurance broker, where to get a haircut, etc, etc, was extremely helpful. Your advice was right on, even down to where the best deals were on business Aloha shirts. Penny and I look forward to your friendship over the years ahead. —dick lundholm (merrill lynch) & penny watters–kailua-kona, formerly of santa rosa, california

Thank you again for your assistance in helping me find what I consider a beautiful piece of property.  Your knowledge of the Kailua-Kona area, as well as your attention to detail, honesty and willingness to work with a client has been exceptional.  You even found me a wonderful private quarantine facility for my dog.  I thank you, also, for your patience for as you have found out, I am not the easiest person to satisfy when looking at real estate.  Kudos for that virtue!  Again, many thanks. —Vern Magnuson– Kailua-Kona, formerly of Rancho Santa Fe, California

When our family relocated to Hawaii, we were operating within a very tight timeframe and needed to make quick, informed decisions.  Mr. Schlegel provided marathon home tours, which showcased everything available within our set of parameters, and even included a picnic lunch so we could eat as we viewed!  His approach was very methodical and organized allowing us to accomplish our objective in a very short period.  Even after the closing, Mr. Schlegel continued to manage issues and provide support until we arrived.  This kind of quality customer service is what you can expect when you work with a professional like David Schlegel. —Susan & Harvey Gand– Kailua-Kona, formerly of Redondo Beach, California

When I arrived from Hong Kong, I relied upon my first real estate agent to find properties in good locations.  Unfortunately, my family and I ended up with several properties that were poorly situated.  I wish that I had met Dave sooner.  He assisted me in marketing these undesirable properties and found my family a home in a wonderful neighborhood, at a bargain price.  Dave's approach to real estate is thorough and meticulous.  He has now assisted my family in five real estate transactions. —Christopher & Lenora Cho– Kailua-Kona, formerly of Hong Kong

Our first contact with David was on the Internet via his website. Although we contacted many other Realtors, his well rounded answers, sensible suggestions and quick response time led us to choose him as our first in-person contact on Hawaii.  We were not disappointed.  In fact, after spending seven days traversing every patch of the Big Island, it was David's prime piece of property that we chose to buy.  There are many reasons to support the high esteem that we hold for David. One of the stronger is that he has been there for us even after all of the checks were cashed. Simply put, David has a firm grip on the current market, has dream properties to offer for sale, and he does it all with a touch of class. —Robert & Toshi Kenyon– San Diego, California

We were fortunate to have found Dave Schlegel on the Internet. Although we were not able to come to Hawaii for six or more months, he went out of his way to keep in touch with us, long-distance, regarding our interests in real estate on the Big Island. Upon our arrival, he had lined up several properties for our viewing, all of which met our specific requirements. A deal was struck during our visit for a beautiful oceanfront residence, and Dave cheerfully took care of the closing details after our departure. We are well pleased with Dave's initiative and professionalism. —Gary & Shawn Abbott– Austin, Texas

When we were starting our property search in Hawaii, Dave Schlegel was the perfect broker because he understood the laws and regulations affecting real estate. He adhered to the National Association of Realtors strict code of ethics. He knew how to network with other brokers to help us find the right property and he facilitated a smooth closing. He also assisted us with after purchase plans. All of this is worth a lot to someone new to the area from Taiwan. —Terry & Wendy Corley–Kailua-Kona, formerly of Taiwan

My husband and I have had the pleasure of dealing with David Schlegel for the past several years. He has taken his time to show us many properties on the Big Island and we purchased a beautiful lot with his help. Dave has been helpful in many ways, answering all of our questions about local schools and businesses. Dave has always been helpful in finding outstanding and affordable accommodations for us during our stays in Hawaii. It was very easy to make contact with Dave due to his organized and professional website. We both recommend his service-oriented company to anyone looking for a piece of paradise. —William & Norma Johnson–Rocklin, California
