The perfect property became available within a couple of days there after, while Molly was on vacation, but that did not slow us down at all. She knew we had to purchase that particular property and she made it happen. We made an all cash offer on the property without seeing it because we trusted Molly’s judgment completely. When we saw the property, we actually cried because it exceeded all of our expectations. Molly guided us through every step of the transaction, which we were able to do re motely from the Los Angeles with her expert instructions. She linked us up with all of the people and services that we needed to complete the purchase, including the best property manager, who is now managing our property. She continues to take care of us in ways we could not have imagined, long after the purchase was concluded. We loved working with Molly and are proud now to call her our friend!!!

For the past few years we have been dreaming of making Hawaii and more specifically, the Big Island our home. We thought of ourselves as fairly experienced in the locations we wanted to purchase and had strong ideas about the direction we would take. When we spent time with our agent, Molly Russel, she had a different set of possibilities in mind! Working with Molly is like catching up with a life long friend. Her infectious optimism, warmth and persona immediately put you at ease. During easy conversation, she asks many questions about your past living experiences; your likes, dislikes, expectations, and dreams. Molly processes the information and formulates her plan to best fit your Hawaiian dream. Molly is a true professional. She seems to know everyone and every square inch of the Big Island. Details about every area, resorts and neighborhoods, easily roll of her tongue, never skipping a beat. We spent several days with Molly and covered many miles as we saw condos, homes and homesites. We totally abandoned our original geographical location and settled in on the area Molly had identified as being the place we would most enjoy bringing our Hawaiian dream to life. Molly, so convinced at the end of several long days that a specific home was “the one”, she arranged our tour and yes, it was “the one”. We put an offer on the home that very day! I can’t say enough about our positive experience. I will say that if you are so lucky as to be able to have Molly Russel as your agent you are in excellent hands and your Hawaiian Dream is closer than ever to becoming reality.

But one morning, while casually browsing Zillow, I stumbled upon our dream home. Thankfully and rather fortuitously, my father had already made the connection with Molly several months prior while engaged in other business on the Big Island and he was keen to give me her number. I wasted no time in picking up the phone and immediately felt like I was talking with an old pal. Molly quickly gave me direction on how to take a shot at our dream home and through a series of extremely well executed emails, texts, and phone calls that same day, we amazingly submitted an offer, site unseen, and were accepted by 9 p.m. that same night! Molly worked with the precision, skill, and expertise of a surgeon and with the heart and care of a nurse (I can say that because I'm a nurse myself!). She has incredible attention to detail, an amazing instinct for the business, and the passion and patience to truly match each and every one of her clients with the most perfect home for their wants and needs. We are one year later and living in our dream home on the Big Island and I still consider Molly a friend and trusted advisor.

It was a huge move for us, relocating from the east coast of the mainland. Not only did she make sure the contract ­submittal­ to ­closing process went meticulously well, but she also provided us with professional contacts who refreshed our home and reputable movers who ensured all our goods from the mainland were safely delivered in a timely manner. Unlike some realtors, Molly did not break off ties with us after the deal was sealed. A true friend, she is literally just a text, email or phone call away from happily offering any type of advice and help. Her smiling personality is contagious and her energy knows no bounds! We look forward to working with Molly in the years ahead as our real estate needs dictate!

and what the process of purchasing entailed. Once we narrowed it down to The Residences of Laule’a, she helped guide us through all the purchase agreements, closing documents, and most importantly has been there for us after the sale. She has been terrific in follow through from the initial walk through to assisting with any issues that have arisen. We found her to be honest, calls a spade a spade, detailed, and her positive loving personality is contagious which made her a pleasure to work with.

including people to do work on the house and even the best restaurants. We think she is the best and would highly recommend her if you are looking for a new home.
