Laure and her team have done a first class job managing my family’s property in Kona!
We had a great experience renting from First Island. Laure was a joy to work with and I would not hesitate to work with her in the future. She was easy to work with and very fair.
Laure was amazing. Perfectly tempered for picky, indecisive buyers. Super patient, flexible, knowledgeable and dependable. She quickly responded to all of our many, many questions. She advocated for us, the buyers, rather than focusing on her own agenda.
