Heidi & the Kohala Pacific Realty team is DA BEST! I met Heidi through Zillow, when we requested to look at a property. We definitely got the luck of the draw! I knew the day I met Heidi, she was good people. And everyone she has referred us to are the same. Heidi kept us informed of new properties popping up right away. We had looked at several homes before buying. Here on this side of the island, the homes are each unique and not cookie-cutter. It took more time than expected to sort out what we thought we could live with and what we actually could. After working with her for over a year, she got to know us and our wants pretty well. A home that we liked very much, that was taken off the Market, came back on a few months later. Heidi didn't hesitate to let us know the home was back up. Heidi was thorough with directions, tasks & keeping us up on dates & deadlines. There were a few challenges that popped up as they often do. Heidi was super professional & patient in handling them. I honestly couldnt say that I would have been as patient if I had to deal with them myself. Claire, her right hand gal, was and is such a great help. In the end when it came to transitioning the home, she made sure we didnt miss a beat & would follow through to help make sure all the details were done. Even after the purchase, when moving in, we didnt have some of the basics to stay comfortably the first night. Claire went above and beyond to make sure we had a good night's stay. They didnt leave us hanging once the sale closed. I knew we got a winner with Heidi & the team.
Heidi and Claire were amazing!! Claire showed me several options that were well suited to what I was looking for and showed me homes that hit my aEURoemust-havesaEUR? and then some. I left my house hunting trip feeling like I had options. When I selected the one I intend to make my forever home, Claire and Heidi guided me through the offer, negotiation and purchase process with ease. This is the first time Ive done a real estate transaction from a distance, and they made it super easy. They were super responsive by email and text, and their knowledge of the local market was incredibly useful throughout the process. As my purchase was about 6 months before I could move into the home, I am also working with Kohala Pacific Realty to oversee work on the home in preparation for my move. They are making me feel so well taken care of, and supported as I prepare to move in. I cant say enough good things about how easy theyve made this all for me and I will remain grateful for all of their assistance and support!!
Heidi was very responsive, timely, and a joy to work with. Her assistant Claire was the same. Their communication was clear, concise, thoughtful, and they made my overall process of buying my first home quite enjoyable.
Heidi did an amazing job . We are very pleased with her local knowledge and professionalism she knew a lot about construction and the land, the environment and many important things that were on our list . She was always there for any question that we may have concerning the area or the purchasing of the home , I would highly recommend her .
Heidi and her team provided outstanding service and made the dauting task of selling our home straightforward and doable. She advised us every step of the way and was always willing to discuss options and talk things through. Her team communicated in a timely and effective manner and always gave us adequate lead time to ensure deadlines were met. This was especially helpful as we are both working professionals with a family and not a lot of extra time on our hands. Heidi also keeps up-to-date on property trends here in Hawaii and provided us straightforward and honest recommendations every step of the way.
Heidi is an impressive real estate agent. She and her team were always available for check-ins and questions during the process of selling our home which was very comforting. Our sale involved some peculiarities that came up during the process and I felt that she and her team were always on top of it and moving things forward. Heidi was very good at navigating competing offers and we were able to sell our house for more than we anticipated in a very short time and in a changing market. She was on our side the whole time but also came across as fair to all parties so I would recommend her for anyone buying or selling property.
My experience working with Heidi was magical, to say the least. She is highly skilled, kind, resourceful, patient, and very on top of her game. We listed our property and got offers after two showings and sold our property within a few weeks of going on the market. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to work with her for all your real estate needs as she knows her stuff and is able to get the job done smoothly and as stress-free as possible. Mahalo nui, Heidi!
We first called Heidi Hernandez At Kohala Pacific Reality. And another agency to represent the sale of our homes. After discussing with both we decided to go with Heidi. She was flexible, knowledgeable with current market trends in our area and had offered to have professional photography, video and drone video footage of our property and homes to help with the sale. The other realtor did not offer these options to us. She was passionate and confident that she could sell our homes in the current market. Within 6 days of listing our homes we had multiple offers.We would highly recommend anyone looking to list their home to call Heidi and her team at KPR
Heidi did a fantastic job helping us to find office space near my daughter's school. She is extremely knowledgeable and Heidi and her staff were on top of every part of the purchase process. We will absolutely be working with her again in the future and I happily recommend her to anyone looking for an agent on Hawaii island.
I had a great experience selling our home with Heidi. Heidi is highly knowledgeable of the local real estate market trends. She was very responsive to our needs as sellers. We listed and sold our home within 8 days.
I'm a 2 time customer of Heidi's. She took me through 2 purchases and both during the pandemic. She was always reachable and very helpful. Her knowledge of the area and the market were spot on. Her local contacts for inspections etc. were also top notch. My wife and I are very happy in our new home and in this competitive market I have Heidi and her office to thank!
I highly recommend working with Heidi Hernandez if you are buying or selling property in the San Juan Islands! I initially contacted Heidi when I was looking for someone to help us with a property value estimate for my familys cabin on Lopez Island. Heidi was helpful and responsive when other real estate agents failed to return our calls or declined to help us. When we decided to buy our own property on Lopez, I turned to Heidi and she did not let us down. She guided us patiently through the process, which included many steps we were unfamiliar with as urban homeowners. She is plugged in locally and was able to give us referrals to local service providers who were knowledgeable and trustworthy. Though she was remote during our entire process, she was always available by email, text, or phone and responded without delay to my many questions. When there was a need for someone to be there in-person, her colleague Claire Anderson capably filled in; for instance, by attending our final walkthrough and ensuring that all requested work had been completed by the sellers. We were extremely satisfied with the entire transaction and would very happily work with Heidi again!
HeidI Hernandez served as our real estate agent for purchasing a mostly undeveloped property on South Lopez Island. This process turned out to be more complicated than we had expected and took several months, but at no point did we feel that we were being neglected, Heidi was always very attentive to our requests. Heidi is very knowledgeable and forthright about local issues such as well and water rights, bringing electricity to properties, and beach access conditions. She is an excellent communicator - she was prompt in her responses and always clear about when she would get an answer for us. We particularly appreciated Heidis patient and consistent work to secure an important and necessary right of way for us. She has our highest recommendation.
This is our second time using Heidi to purchase something in the San Juan Islands. And again she brought a wealth of knowledge and contacts to the process. We always felt like we were in the best hands, and she actually brought a zoning condition that had previously been missed to our attention, thus saving us a lot of money (as we were able to negotiate down the price accordingly). We highly recommend Heidi!
Heidi and her associate Claire Anderson are exactly what all real estate professionals should be. She is patient, obviously understanding that these are big decisions that you dont want to rush into. The market may create a sense of urgency but Heidi never does. It was also gratifying that Heidi trusted me. I made her jump through hoops on several properties that I either didnt get or eventually lost interest in. In one case she walked around a property on Lopez shooting video on her phone and expediting it to me. Those videos actually helped cement my decision not to go forward on that property. But Heidi treated me with respect. I knew that when the right situation arose I would pull the trigger. But she didnt know that. Still she took me seriously and eventually I did find something that really spoke to me.I could write a novella about why Heidi is an excellent broker. But it basically comes down to this. Shes knowledgeable, experienced, kind and fun to work with. She loves real estate. Anyone who also loves real estate will know what I mean. But above all Heidi possesses a rare quality that you cant pay for: she cares.Thank you Heidi and Claire for all your work, and for making the process fun, which is exactly how it should be.
Great. Extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Second time we have worked with Heidi on a property purchase on Lopez Island. We would defiantly recommend Heidi.
Showed us multiple properties based on our requirements and budgeted price range. Great follow up, very accomodating in working with our out of town schedule. Very personal and efficient, a pleasure to work with.
Heidi helped us sell our house for much more than we paid for it just 10 months ago and saw the contract through a couple sticking points with calm, intelligent advice. And she did all this online! We never met in person but she was always available online and the virtual tour was a fantastic tool to minimize the number of people coming through the house during the pandemic. We couldnt have had a better agent!
She is the best. She works diligently, honestly, and around the clock. She gives fantastic advice. I will never use another agent. I have used her services for three properties bought and two sold. No one else compares to her.
Heidi is great to work with! This is the 2nd time we have worked together and I wouldnt think of using anyone else for the next time. Heidi is on time, very professional and personable and has great local knowledge.
We were lucky to have Heidi. Her local knowledge as well as responsiveness made it easy for us to focus on finding the right home. A number of times through the process of contracting, making offers, and handling walk-throughs and appraisals I commented to my family how good it was to have someone with such knowledge and trustworthiness that I didnt have to sweat the small stuff during me purchasing process. Working with Heidi made a time that is usually fraught with communication errors, rework, and stress a much more straightforward and beneficial process. 5 stars for Heidi

Heidi works overtime for her clients and brings an exceptional level of caring to the real-estate process. Her knowledge of San Juan County is extensive and respected, and she's able to recommend colleagues in every area of the real-estate process. We're deeply grateful we worked with Heidi to find and buy our dream property.
Heidi delivered again for us, and this time she sold a house for us. Her communication is excellent and her knowledge of the Lopez real estate market is second to none. We would certainly highly recommend Heidi for your real estate needs on Lopez Island.
Heidi is an excellent real estate agent! She advocated for us every step of the way, and was always quick to communicate and thoughtful in her approach. We felt like Heidi had our back throughout the entire process. We highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell.
Heidi is a joy to work with. She knows this area and the people on the islands very well. She only showed us houses that we told her we could afford. And she is very patient and kind and easy to talk with. She showed several houses to us and before we could make up our mind, they sold. And we purchased this home almost entirely on the phone from our previous residence. We could not be here for the inspections and walk- throughs yet we felt totally represented by Heidi because she was in attendance at them all. She also sent videos of the home for us. We will recommend Heidi to everyone wanting a home on the island.
Heidi is the best. She works so hard for the seller and the buyer, which I have been both. She is thorough, timely and honest. She even works on vacation. Simply put there is Heidi and then there is all the rest. She is the only agent I will use.
We were looking for a home on Lopez Island and were dizzied by the range of options, from undeveloped plots of land to finished houses. Heidi brought a huge amount of care, sympathy, practical advice and local knowledge to the task of narrowing down the search. With her help, we ended up finding and negotiating the purchase of our dream home. A few months later she helped my parents find a plot of land nearby. We've now been happily settled in our home for a year and are so grateful -- we couldn't have done it without her. Don't miss the chance to work with Heidi! She really brings a special touch to the process.
Looking for the perfect space can be especially challenging from a distance. Heidi helped me make the most of my time during visits - giving me the information I needed in advance to have context and then expertly showing me the most promising properties. Her knowledge and balanced evaluations have been invaluable. I am so grateful to have benefitted from Heidi's guidance and highly recommend her!
Heidi proves to be a very caring andknowledgeable real estate professional. Her communication skills results in customer confidence and resultant satisfaction. If and when the process encounters difficulties you can count on Heidi to promptly and confidently solve the problem. We appreciate and feel lucky to have had her as our agent.
We have used Heidi for two transactions on Lopez Island now, and wouldn't hesitate to ask her help again. She understands the local market, building and land use considerations, and has extensive local contacts. She is both professional and extremely friendly and pleasant to work with.
Heidi helped us over the course of several years find the perfect spot for our home and business. She is very very good at what she does, and her professionalism, expertise, friendliness, and helpfulness is unparalleled. If you're looking to buy or sell property on Lopez you want to work with Heidi. Thank you for everything!
Heidi has been our agent for three Lopez Island transactions where she represented us as buyers, sellers, and most recently she was a dual agent when we purchased a home. I am always impressed how she manages to keep her sense of humor especially when we need it most. She is also fantastic at keeping us on task and on schedule. Even when she is juggling multiple clients, she responds as if we are her highest priority. Heidi is truly the calm needed in the emotional storm of buying and selling real estate.
Heidi was instrumental in facilitating our recent home purchase. We had so many hiccups along with way with past title issues and Heidi handled them with grace, always keeping us up to date and informed. We'd highly recommend her!
I had a difficult transaction. It was a private sale that Heidi brokered. Despite my difficulty in clearing my title Heidi stuck with it and kept the buyers and I in contract until I was able to obtain my full reconveyance.The sale went through and both parties are happy to have it resolved.
Heidi has been showing us houses we had no hope of buying for years when we'd visit on vacation. And when we finally made the jump we had hardly any notice and were several states away during the entire process. She made sure that everything went well, pushed who she needed to push, fixed a major problem by asking nicely, and made us feel secure during one of the most stressful situations we've dealt with. I want everyone to ask for her when they buy a house here. I'll make sure everyone I know will!
Many friends who have bought and own property on Lopez Island in the San Juans stressed to us the importance of having an excellent realtor: A realtor knowledge of the Islands, high in integrity, responsive, patient and energetic. We found quickly that Heidi was the right choice. Heres whyaEUR|Heidis knowledge of Lopez Island, the market and properties on and off the market was incredible. She consistently shared information and history of the island properties that werent always in the listing. Heidi has high integrity; she was open and candid about each property, providing useful context of its location. She was upfront with us if she didnt think a property was right for us and why aEUR" and still would show us anything we asked (and there were many). She was always 100% honest and treated us, the sellers, and other agents with utmost respect. This is critical where reputation is everything.Heidi was responsive and energetic! While some properties may sit on the market on Lopez and in the San Juans for months, great properties move very quickly. Heidi was continually aEURoegame onaEUR? alerting us immediately to new listings AND familiar with properties that were unlisted or soon-to-be listed. She was always on top of it. She made herself available even on a days notice to view a property.Heidi was immensely patient. Our search was close to seven months. While many searches may be much less time, several months to find a property in the San Juans isnt unusual. There were disappointments for us and many challenges. In discouraging times, Heidi was positive and upbeat. She understands buying a property is a journey and takes it alongside you. She doesnt give up and wont let you either. We have her to thank for the amazing home and property we have on Lopez Island.
Heidi is patient and helpful and really knows her stuff. She quickly figured out what we wanted and showed us great choices. We worked with Heidi over about a two year period and we never felt rushed or pressured. You couldnt do better.
Heidi Hernandez handled all aspects of the transaction in a competent, and professional manner. She prepared the listing, marketed the property, met with numerous potential buyers to show the property, and oversaw all aspects of the transaction through to completion. I would not hesitate to retain her services in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others. Her expertise made this entire transaction worry and hassle free.
We had a good experience working with Heidi. Since we do not live on Lopez Island, it was reassuring to be in such good hands. She responded immediately to all our questions, and the final transaction went smoothly.
Heidi knows Lopez Island Real Estate very well, and was well prepared when we met her with print outs of all the land that fit our criteria. She had all of the necessary info we needed to make an informed decision. The communication was excellent and if she didn't pick up my call she called me back almost immediately. Heidi put the proposal together successfully and we purchased the land without any delays. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying the San Juan Islands.

Heidi is a treasure. She helped us negotiate the emotional ups and downs of the buying process. She was incredibly responsive - always available, even when sick or on vacation. She was also extremely patient as we changed our minds several times about what we wanted to do. In my opinion, Heidi is The realtor for Lopez Island. Thank you, Heidi!
My husband and I were contemplating moving to Lopez Island when we met Heidi. She showed us several homes and helped us when we realized Lopez was our future home. Heidi has been living on Lopez for several years with a wide knowledge base of the important things you need to know when moving; from what the schools are like, where people eat, and the culture of the island. Heidi helped us enormously in purchasing just under 4 acres of land in an area of the island we are thrilled to begin to call home. She was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and someone we are very grateful to have found.
Heidi is incredible. Not only is she knowledgeable, but extremely patient, compassionate, and willing to ask hard questions, find answers, and get the job done. Working with Heidi as your agent will be the best choice and decision, and she will not disappoint. She will stop at nothing to help you accomplish your transaction, and she will also make it right. I'm so happy I had the opportunity to work with Heidi. Thank you!!!! We love our house.
Heidi is amazing and goes above and beyond. We were purchasing a house from about 4 hours away so we really needed to rely on Heidi for a lot more than usual. She was happy to help and always replied very quickly. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and was able to provide lots of recommendations for local help for various repairs we needed to get done after closing. We highly recommend Heidi!

Heidi just sold my husband and I a home on Lopez, and we could not be more happy with her representation. She goes above and beyond in every way. She is the ultimate, no-pressure, supportive, understanding, dedicated realtor. She worked tirelessly to make a somewhat complicated sale be as seamless as possible. When we ran into issues, she was reassuring and positive. She went out of her way to answer questions and resolve issues. She was truly with us every step of the way. We would absolutely use her again for any transaction in this area and highly recommend her to others. You will not be disappointed. It is a blessing to work with her!
Heidi was incredible from the get go. She found a home that met all our criteria but was no longer listed. After inquiring regarding the status, the owner again offered it to sell. That process, due to unique circumstances, proved to be extremely challenging. Heidi made the sale happen through her hard work and persistence. She kept me well informed at all stages which was key to me remaining patient in spite of the obstacles that kept coming our way. You know you had an excellent agent when the first house proposed is the one you buy with that agent successfully guiding and advising you. I feel very fortunate I selected Heidi as my real estate agent.
Heidi was wonderful to work with. She knows the area well and was able to help us get answers to all our questions about moorage, repairs, property values, etc. She took care of us and made sure that the whole process went smoothly. Heidi's got a great personality and is fun to work with.
