Read what others have to say about IslandWide Associates:
"When shopping around for real estate on Hawaii Island, the biggest factor is working with a realtor that has knowledge of the diversity in the land, neighborhoods, business atmosphere, infrastructure, government support, and of course, value. Add to that list, someone you can trust and depend on for great service. Personally, that person over the past thirty years has been Brooks Maloof. Brooks has helped me find agricultural land, residential property, a school campus, and commercial property. When it comes to Hawaii Island real estate needs, I simply call Brooks Maloof. "
-Steve Hirakami, Principal at Hawaii Academy of Arts and Science
"I bought my home from Brooks Maloof in 1998 and sold it through him in 2015. He has always been extremely thorough, knowledgeable, patient and supportive through the difficult process of buying and selling a home. He expedited the sale of my home recently by informing the buyer's agent of a Hawaii-based bank that would be more likely to grant him a loan on property containing an ohana cottage. Brooks has always answered my phone calls or has returned them promptly. I have always felt that I could trust him implicitly. He never sugar-coated things but went the extra mile to avoid upsetting me when things were uncertain during the sale process. He knew exactly how much the inspections, staking, termite treatment, etc. would cost in escrow, which eased my mind about the final closing costs. I would recommend Brooks to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. In fact, I already have done so. *******************************

"Brooks Maloof has been around for decades, Puna and Hilo being his backyard. He’s well connected with other realtors, brokers, escrow companies, mortgage companies, even construction/repair folks. He’s the go-to guy for answers. His styles is local, very relaxed but for any newcomers should not be misunderstood as either not caring or uninterested. There’s no pressure here. Our property listing wasn’t easy (1031 tax exchange, carry back financing) yet it sold and closed escrow quickly. My request not to bring any prospective clients to my property that were not serious buyers to my property, he followed my instructions. There were several tenants on the property to schedule for showings, that worked out well. His daughter, Nani, did great job photographing property, knocked it out of the park.

"We have had nothing but the best experience working with Nani Maloof from Islandwide Associates. She was with us every step of the way in selling our home as well as buying our new home. She was easy to communicate with, knew her stuff and very reliable. She went above and beyond to meet our needs, concerns and make us feel confident in the selling and buying process. Friendly, family oriented and motivated, we most definitely plan to send our friends and family to Nani and go back to Islandwide Associates again! Mahalo"
