About Summer Hoffman
I know exactly what it's like to make the journey to the Big Island--because I did it myself. I'm Summer Hoffman, an eXp Real Estate Agent proudly serving Hawaii Island. Relocating from the mainland gave me firsthand experience with every step of the journey, from finding the right neighborhood to adjusting to island life. Now, I use that experience to help others make their own smooth transition to paradise. As a Top 10 Performer in 2025 with an abundance of 5-star reviews, I'm honored to have helped numerous clients in 2025 find their piece of paradise. My track record of successful transactions reflects my commitment to delivering exceptional service at every stage of the buying or selling process. With my Bachelor's degree in Recreation and a genuine love for Hawaii's lifestyle, I've gotten to know the Big Island inside and out--the best neighborhoods, hidden beaches, and what makes each community special. Whether you're looking for your forever home, an investment property, or a peaceful getaway, I'm here to guide you with the insights that only come from living the experience myself.

FAQ
My biggest advice is to get clear and prepared early. Get pre-approved before shopping, understand your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, and be open-minded—especially on the Big Island where things like lava zones, water systems, zoning, and access can really matter. Having a local agent who understands Hawaii-specific details can save you time, money, and stress. Most importantly, don’t rush—this is about finding your paradise, not just a house.
Pricing and presentation are everything. A well-priced home that’s clean, staged, and marketed properly will always outperform an overpriced one. I also recommend being open to feedback and trusting the process—sometimes small adjustments make a big difference. Having a strong local strategy and exposure (both on and off island) helps attract serious buyers.
I’ve worked with first-time homebuyers, mainland buyers relocating to Hawaii, local families, retirees, investors, second-home buyers, and land buyers. Many of my clients are making big life transitions, so I focus heavily on education, communication, and guidance every step of the way.
One of my favorite recent transactions involved helping buyers relocate from the mainland who were nervous about purchasing sight-unseen. I spent time previewing homes, sending detailed videos, explaining Big Island-specific factors, and coordinating inspections closely. The deal went smoothly, closed on time, and they were thrilled when they finally arrived—it truly felt like helping someone land exactly where they were meant to be.
I got into real estate to help people find their version of paradise—and to help create good neighbors and strong communities. Having relocated to the Big Island myself, I knew firsthand how overwhelming the process can feel. Real estate became a way for me to combine my love for people, place, and problem-solving while helping others make a confident move.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Recreation, which has given me a strong background in lifestyle-focused planning and community connection. Just as important, I have personal relocation experience—so I truly understand the emotional and logistical side of moving to Hawaii. That perspective allows me to guide clients with empathy, clarity, and real-world insight.
