They Really Listened to Us.

"Wayne and his team members really listened to us... to what we wanted in our next home. They were very attentive to our needs. Through their professionalism and knowledge of real estate, they were able to find us our perfect home. Thank you so much! "

- CRAIG, BUYER CLIENT

They are both excellent at communication and are very detailed in all aspects.

I am writing this to recommend Wayne Richardson and Kristine Dugan of Hawaii Life Real Estate to anyone who desires the best Realtors to represent them in Hawaii. Wayne and Kristine have taken great pride in professionalism, efficiency, fairness and results in representing me in selling our residential property. They are both excellent at communication and are very detailed in all aspects. I have purchased and sold numerous real estate properties and have been fortunate to have been represented by several outstanding agents. Wayne and Kristine will remain my top selection for any of my future real estate needs in the State of Hawaii.

- CHARLES, SELLER CLIENT

She is by FAR the best agent I ever worked with!

"For one, she listened to what I want and didn’t try to steer me towards something that might pay her more. She also went out of her way to show me properties even while I was on the mainland. She helped with inspections etc. she was polite, respectful and went out of her way to accommodate my desires."

- BENITA, BUYER CLIENT

Highly professional and extremely efficient.

"Recently I have had the pleasure of working directly with Kristine during the process of selling one of my properties... I have found her to be highly professional and extremely efficient. She has proven to me that she is very competent, on top of her game, and easy to work with. Her friendliness and congenial personality have made me feel comfortable and have significantly reduced my anxiety and stress. For all these reasons I am delighted to provide this reference for her. Should you choose to hire her as your realtor I am confident that you will not be disappointed."

- CAROL, INVESTOR, SELLER CLIENT

I thought all Realtors were alike. I had no idea how wrong I was.

"As a contractor, I work with a lot of professionals in the field. Not many would go the extra mile for me like you did. You went the extra mile and then some to cover all of my bases as a Seller. Just knowing that you cared about my needs as a seller is amazing! Thanks for watching my back so I could run my business and spend my time with my family. Especially now, in this world and time when everyone is out for their own benefit, to find an agent like you is rare. Until working with you, I really thought all Realtors were the same. Now I know the difference."

- VINCE, SELLER CLIENT

Their knowledge of the market was impressive.

"I’ve worked with a number of different agents in the last 10 years and the team of Kristine and Wayne were definitely the most reliable. Their knowledge of the market was impressive. The photos they took are stunning. Their attention to detail during this transaction has saved me considerable time and money. Selling a house is stressful but our 8am summary puts my mind at ease. They also have been educating me on every step of the process and shared what I needed to correct. This helps me feel confident on their strategy on pricing, staging and advertising. My only complaint is that I don’t have another house to sell. Kristine and Wayne, thank you again for all that you’ve done for us."

- SHANE AND GRETCHEN, SELLER CLIENT

Every detail was covered while my interests were protected.

"I have used Wayne and his team for two real estate transactions. Both transactions involved difficult issues requiring a great deal of tact and specialized care. Wayne and his team were relentless and worked tirelessly with incredible thoroughness to ensure every detail was covered while my interests were protected, resulting in successful conclusions in both transactions." 

- STEPHEN, BUYER AND SELLER CLIENT

To have you on my side during this process was such a relief!

"Kristine, thank you so much for all of your support in selling my mom's house after her passing. To have you on my side during this process was such a relief! When things seemed so overwhelming, you stepped in and took a huge amount of stress off my shoulders. I'm grateful and I know my mom is grateful too. Really, I feel so lucky we had you."

- LINDSEY, TRUSTEE, SELLER CLIENT

Kristine knows how to navigate the complexities of the market and different unique ways to purchase.

I can’t speak highly enough of Kristine Dugan as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, integrity, and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She is detail oriented, honest, and communicates great with her clients. Anyone who works with her is lucky to have her on their side. It’s a competitive market and Kristine knows how to navigate the complexities of the market and different unique ways to purchase your home or investment property.

- MICHAEL, BUYER AND SELLER CLIENT

Kristine did an amazing job...

"Kristine did an amazing job helping us to buy our Koloa condo. Her knowledge expertise, and patience of a saint made shopping around and finding our perfect home an easy stress free, and enjoyable process. We will definitely be using her again in the future."

- JON AND DIANA, BUYER CLIENT

You went above and beyond...

"I want to thank you both for all your hard work on the sale of the Trust property that I was in charge of located in Kapa'a. You two went above and beyond with this property, as it needed lots of work and repairs, that you handled for me since I live in Washington. You also handled the renters professionally and gracefully as they vacated the property. The closing went smoothly because of your encouragement to take a backup offer, which we ended up having to use. I would highly recommend you to anyone considering selling their property."
