Testimonials

I'm writing this as I sit at my kitchen table at Pali Ke Kua looking out at the blue Pacific. This morning, I watched a pod of dolphins from this spot. It has been one year, almost to the day, since my husband and I purchased our condo on the North Shore of Kaua'i. We often think about our good fortune in working with Carol Skon, our Realtor extraordinaire, who helped us find the perfect property. We met Carol a couple of years ago on an impulse walk-through of another property. Carol impressed us with her knowledge and obvious enthusiasm for this beautiful part of the world. Upon returning to Phoenix, we kept thinking about owning a property in Hawaii, and kept in touch with Carol. We were impressed by her cheerful follow-through to our many questions. We also appreciated her great support throughout the purchase process, including introductions to many people on Kaua'i who helped contribute to the success of the purchase. We have complete confidence in Carol, and recommend her highly.

My husband and I live on the mainland, had vacationed several times in Kauai, and were interested in purchasing an investment condo in Kauai so we could spend more time in paradise. Traditional condos were a bit beyond our budget, but Carol told us about a condo hotel opportunity at a beautiful location. It fit our pocketbook while generating an income stream--without requiring any hands-on management. Once we returned home from vacation, Carol kept us sane throughout the highly competitive, fairly complicated room selection process, functioning long-distance as our eyes and ears on the island. She helped us with many facets of the transaction; always with intelligence, market knowledge, and a much-appreciated sense of humor. What's more, Carol completely anticipated our needs and always went the extra mile for us--spending more than one early morning on the phone to make sure all the details went as promised. We're very happy with our purchase and look forward to working with Carol in the future. We only wish we could transplant her here to help us with our local real estate holdings!

My wife and I put our condo up for sale August 2006. We chose Carol because of her great personality, tremendous knowledge of Hawaii real estate, and her dedication to her clients. Well, we just sold it, given the slow market, and Carol did not disappoint us in our expectations. Alot of agents would have given up but not Carol. She tried every means to get information out to potential buyers and was very persistent in open houses. Carol always gave us great information and suggestions and really stuck with us. She was there with us through all aspects of the sale, including the closing. I believe that not only says alot about Carol as an agent but also as a person. I would highly recommend Carol to anyone who asks and would use her in the future for any other real estate transactions. I know and have used other agents, but none compare to Carol.

Ken and Sharon, Princeville, Kauai, Hawaii

I am a single female who was living in California when I got a call that I got the job I wanted and could start immediately. So I packed up and someone referred me to Carol Skon. She has a bubbly personality and is genuinely a very helpful woman. I felt comfortable with her right away. I packed up my life and while my things were in route to Kauai, I rented a hotel for a week. The day after I arraived on island Carol picked me up to take me Condo shopping. I found a great townhome style two story in a small complex, at an affordabloe price. I was home. I went into escrow the next day. Carol made my transition from mainland to Kauai an easy one. She walked me through the whole thing as I am a first time buyer. I really enjoy being centrally located. I love my drive to work at the Anara Spa a the Grand Hyatt, and it's all thanks to Carol! If you need an excellent Realtor call Carol Skon, she will make you feel right at home. "Mahalo Nui Loa"
