Judy S. Howard

Judy is our Realtor® for the sale of our 40-acre lot in Waikoekoe. What looked to be a straightforward sale has been visited by one glitch after another, and Judy has met every one of them with equanimity, clear analysis of what needs to be done, great organization, and resourcefulness. Thanks to her knowledge of the law as well as real estate, I am always sure that things are being done properly, including her keeping her roles of Realtor® and lawyer separate to avoid possible conflict of interest. Because she is so much a part of the community, Judy has a wide acquaintance with the people who can get work done for our property–photographers for th...

Judy was a fantastic resource from the very beginning for us! We are first-time homebuyers and had no knowledge of the process, so we had a ton of questions. Judy took the time to answer all of our questions, even before we were actively looking to purchase a home. During our journey to becoming homeowners, Judy was mindful and explained every step we were going to be taking together. When we had questions, she always had a prompt answer for us and kept us in the loop every step of the way. She brought up potential issues to look into that we had never thought to look at. We connected with Judy from the very beginning. Her knowledge of the island, e...

Great experience. Judy practiced great communication, sharing action € options with me and responding quickly to my calls and texts. She was a true partner in assessing the strengths and weaknesses of our property and strategizing how to make it more attractive to prospective buyers. She was always on hand to help guide me through the paperwork etc. Of selling the property and always responsive to our concerns. | don't know how many times she had to go show our property, rain or shine, but she always cheerfully reported on the viewings. Really, the ideal Realtor® for our property

For several years, my wife and I have been interested in buying property on the Big Island with our eventual return to Hawai’i in mind. We have asked Judy for guidance on Big Island real estate several times over the last five years. Judy has lived and worked on the Big Island for most of her life and her familiarity with the various island communities combined with her knowledge of the practical, business, and legal aspects of life there has made her advice indispensable. She has a knack for getting to the heart of the matter that has made our search efficient and enjoyable.

Thank you for helping us with our recent transaction. I was initially reluctant in entering into a dual agency agreement. However, you helped to ease my concerns through your professionalism, articulated explanations, and straightforward nature. Stating it simply, our transactions were ‘Challenging’. In the end, It was your positive attitude and your undying willingness to make it work that proved to close the deal. I truly appreciated your time, efforts, and tireless work to make this process smooth and quick!

Judy was such a pleasure to work with; she’s incredibly savvy, being both a lawyer and a Realtor®, and so charming, I think she may know everyone in Waimea. Not only did she help us find our dream property in an area we would have never discovered on our own, but she also helped us through the whole process and helped negotiate a better price. I would work with her again and again and would certainly recommend her services.
