Mike was great to work with. He made the real transaction simple and straight forward. He really knew what he was talking about and I really appreciate his knowledge of the market. I highly recommend him to buyers and sellers.

​

Mike is a very competent, knowledgeable and pro active realtor. He actually found our dream home for us. We were not able to fly to Hawaii immediately so he went to the house and sent us 4 detailed videos totaling over 30 minutes of tour time and fully described the home as he went through it.   We put an offer on the house, sight-unseen, and couldn't be happier. The closing process was incredibly long because of the STVR process. But through the months it took to get approval, Mike kept us tuned in to everything happening so we were never in the dark. I now consider him a very good friend, with awesome connections on the island, and I will only use him to buy future properties in Hawaii.

​

Working with Mike on our home purchase has been a real pleasure. I’ve bought and sold real estate all over the U.S. and have never worked with an agent who has anywhere near the in depth knowledge of the local market as Mike does. This is especially important an area as unique as Kona. Our home  search took about a year and Mike’s patience, guidance and responsiveness throughout the process was superb. I highly recommend Mike to anybody looking to buy or sell a home in Kona.

​

​

Mike was absolutely a joy to work with on our purchase of our home in Kailua-Kona! Mike has a great command of the negotiation process and understands the nuisances and subtleties of the local market conditions in Hawaii. My wife and I would highly recommend working with Mike on any purchase or sale in Hawaii!

​

I found Mike while searching for property in Kona on the internet, as I was making a big move to the islands. Upon arriving to the mainland I met with Mike and arranged to preview the properties he had selected. I was pleasantly surprised by his professional manner and he was well prepared.  (Unlike several of the other agents who tried secure my business relationship.) What truly impressed me about Mike was his understanding of my needs (great listener), his strong knowledge of the real estate market, and his negotiating skills. We quickly found the perfect home without touring properties that did not fit my needs. Additionally, he has a 24/7 "can do attitude" and HE ANTICIPATES hurdles before they arise. My purchase went very smoothly and I attribute that to Mike. I was in the industry for over 20+ years myself, and I would highly recommend him for any real estate transaction.

​

We have used Mike to buy and sell a home and I would choose him every time! Not only is he very knowledgeable about the market, but he is well respected in this community.

​

Mike is both knowledgeable and professional. He ushered me from first inspection to closing and possession in under 15 days. By far the best realtor I have dealt with in approximately 50 years of residential real estate transactions.

​

We had a wonderful experience with Mike. From our first conversation he demonstrated knowledge of the West Hawaii market as well as familiarity with research and statistics that supported our timing and listing price. Throughout the processes of selling our home he was supportive, professional, an  excellent communicator, and always prompt. He demonstrated expertise in the listing process as well as negotiation through various offers. Selling a home can be a challenging time; with Mike we were confident we had the best of all things from the time before we listed to after closing. We highly recommend him as a listing or buying agent.

​

Mike has represented us both in buying and selling. He works tirelessly and knows the market very well. He uses all the data that is available and is very connected. We are so grateful that he represented us.

​

Our situation needed the flexibility, skill and understanding of a unique professional. Mike Drutar was a perfect fit and I highly recommend him. He is willing to go that extra mile for his clients.

​

Mike is a great realtor. As a real estate investor, I need good people that I can trust with the real estate market in Kona. I trust him when he gives me advice on buying and selling properties. He knows what he's talking about. He does his research and conveys to me the pertinent facts on a  property that I need to know before making a purchase. I feel secure that I have all the right information at my disposal to make a good deal or not go ahead with the deal after I go through all the information with Mike Drutar. You want the best realtor in Hawaii, then go see Mike.

​

We very much appreciated working with Mike in the sale of our condo. He kept his eye on the market trends to help inform our decision to sell, was diligent in updating us with feedback and sound input, and was always helpful and available for questions or concerns. Mike wasted no time to  impressively put out the word on our unit, and facilitated a great number of open house opportunities. We also enjoyed working with Mike because of his enthusiasm for what he does as a member of the real estate profession. 

​

Mike was very professional and very knowledgeable about selling our home, I would use him again in a heartbeat. Mike was always available to answer any questions we had about how to make the home look sellable, since this was our first home to put on the market.

​

Mike was very helpful in our search for a home in Kona. We met him in November of 2018 while visiting the Island and he stayed in touch with us while we continued looking after returning to the Mainland. He negotiated several offers for us which did not work out, but then helped us with finding the  perfect place. We closed in April of 2019 and could not be happier.

​

Our experience with Mike has been outstanding. This is the second time we have worked with Mike in buying and selling homes. Mike gave us excellent advice throughout the process and tailored options to our needs and requests. He spent the necessary time to educate us and make sure that we  understood our options and then he supported us in the decisions we made. He made sure we were not at risk, or were at least aware, of the potential risks based on our decisions. He leveraged his local knowledge and experience, which is extensive, to our benefit. I know Mike always worked for us. I would highly recommend him and if I ever need would use him again for a third go. Thank you Mike. You are terrific.

​

Mike Drutar is a very knowledgeable realtor that really knows the Big Island. We felt very comfortable listing our house with him and thought he did a through job helping to get it sold quickly. He has been a great resource as far as referring finance companies, explaining the strengths of each.

​

Great experience. Mike was with me all the way. I was in Florida and the property was in Hawaii. Worked out fine. My offer was third in line for the condo but we prevailed and I was able to move from Florida to Big Island of Hawaii.

​

Mike did a great job helping me buy a condo in Kona, Hawaii. He was easy to work with and always gave me the information needed. Mike's best trait is he never tried to sell me on a property, he provided the information and let me make the decision. I highly recommend Mike as your realtor. When  I jump back into the market, I look forward to working with him.
