Kona Coast Condos and Vacation Rentals, Bought on the Numbers

Most of my clients live on the mainland or in Canada and are buying a second home or a vacation-rental condo on the Kona Coast. I do the homework on dues, rental rules and the real cost of owning before you ever get on a plane.

Why work with me

Before real estate I worked as a financial consultant, and I hold a Master of Science in Business Administration. I moved here in 2018 and my goal is to help people eventually be able to spend as much time here as they can through real property acquisition on the Kona coast.

"Jeff's integrity, market knowledge, financial background and willingness to research comparables distances him from the pack."
