"From the initial property discussion through to closing and possession, the team at Island Spaces were always timely and professional.   With any real estate transactions you can run into hiccups and I was extremely impressed with the manner in which they handled things and resolved issues. 

The service that Island Spaces provided all along the way is truly commendable.  There was never anytime that they were not in the loop to ensure that items were documented properly and timely and the follow up was impressive.

I would certainly look to have Island Spaces for future real estate representation either on the selling or buying side of the deal.  In this particular transaction, they represented us on the buying side.   They presented the pros and cons with confidence and excellent market knowledge.  If they did not have the answer, they would do their research and provide it quickly.

I highly recommend working with the team at Island Spaces for any real estate transactions.  It is a breath of fresh air to experience realtors with integrity, honesty and a SOLID work ethic." maurie f.

"These guys at Island Spaces were the right pick for me. It was not just the effort to sell my condo in Waikiki. It was the battle after escrow opened . My property was a lease hold And Queen Emma was a royal pain in the side. Charles and Neil just remained to be real troopers continually doing the necessary foot work until it finally closed. 
Thanks guys and I would definitely buy or sell my next venture with you !!!! " gary r.

"For those new to the islands, the Hawaiian real estate market may not be an Aloha filled experience.  Charles and Neal were the perfect team for me, the right mix of multi-generation island connections paired with a gritty New York, no nonsense, get it done approach to the task at hand.  

After renting for a year and getting familiar with the island we decided to purchase a home for our growing family in Manoa valley.  Right out of the gate, Charles found a prospective home months before it was put on the market in the exact neighborhood we were hoping for.  A solid offer was tendered, yet no happily ever after.  This is when the team at Island Spaces really shined.  

They stayed engaged, proactive, professional and nurtured relationships with an indifferent and reluctant seller.  Through this relationship they understood and recognized the significance of this transaction to the seller, a home she was born in over 70 years ago.  In the midst of multiple offers, several above asking and well past the expiration on our offer, the seller countered accepting our offer.  After meeting her at closing, this was due in no small part to Charles, the relationship he cultivated, and how our intent was communicated to the seller in the process.  

Old homes often come with many surprises and what you might walk away from in central Ohio may be a gem in this market.  The inspection process revealed many hidden surprises and due diligence needed to happen in short order.  Charles and Neal had every imaginable professional (electricians, engineers, architects, plumbers) on speed dial and out to evaluate and provide estimates on each of the item of concern.  No task was too small.  Charles even threw on a set of overalls, gloves, and headlamp to provide me with a guided tour of a foundation with a remote history of termite damage.   

Constant and open communication continued throughout the process.  Challenges with each step of the process were either predicted and countered in advance or when discovered were quickly addressed.      

At each phase of the process the team at Island Spaces were proactive, professional, adaptable, communicative, and highly attuned to our concerns.  Charles and Neal have my highest recommendation and I would not hesitate to call on them again for future real estate representation regardless of selling or buying."  patrick e.

"I am very pleased with the work of Neil Petagno and Charles Meyer of Island Spaces Hawaii.  They provided outstanding service selling my family's property on Oahu.  Our situation was fairly complicated, involving the sale of two adjacent lots that had been home to members of our family for three generations.  Neil and Charles managed the process expertly and with sensitivity, delivering excellent results.  They carefully explained the various steps through the sales process and skillfully negotiated with everyone involved, producing deals for the two lots nearly simultaneously.  Neil and Charles also offered very personalized service that helped us meet our particular needs, which included obtaining a permit from the city, working with a contractor, and arranging for the removal of some household effects.  Their local knowledge and professional expertise proved invaluable, and we could not have been in better hands."  malia f.
