Let Christi Know What You Think

September 30th, 2024

"We have owned several properties in various states and have dealt with many realtors. We recently decided to sell our land in Pahoa and chose Christi as our realtor. As with any transaction, value add and consultative dialog is essential in choosing the right person, especially in real estate. Every step of the way Christi was there to discuss, advise and provide valuable resource information. She did an excellent job. We are appreciative of her efforts in selling this land, and would highly recommend her (and have) to anyone looking to sell or purchase real estate on the Big Island."

"If you’re serious about buying she’s the one to get it done. I asked her to find a home for my elderly parents and she found exactly what they were looking for. I couldn’t be more impressed with her performance. She’s a tiger and will get it done. I wouldn’t use anyone else. I look forward to working with her in the future. "

September 21st, 2024

"I needed to sell my parent's house after their passing. It was a very stressful time for me, and Christi was extremely professional while also being so compassionate and understanding. The house was in Pahoa, HI and I live in Southern California. But Christi walked me through everything, and made the long-distance sale easy. I highly recommend Christi to anyone wanting to buy or sell on the Big Island. "

We never thought it would be possible to purchase a home for our ‘ohana. Christi was very knowledgeable as well as understanding of our unique needs. Our list of “must haves” was long and she kept on researching until she found the perfect home for us.

January 15th, 2024

"We recently sold a home in Hawaiian Paridise Park and purchased land with Christi. She is a very knowledgeable professional and had fabulous communication throughout the process. My house was only on the market for 4 days before we got a FULL price offer! If you are looking for help buying or selling, Christi is easy to work with. "

"Highly recommended! Great real estate agent. Great experience, helped sell the property fast! Everything went smoothly and fast would recommend 100 percent!"

Aloha Christi -

Now I can say that from the beginning of our association as realtor and seller client, Christi Mallicoat and I have become friends. In fact I had by chance met a friend of hers at the Honolulu airport while waiting for a flight returning to Hilo. We got to talking about our stay in Honolulu , both of us for medical issues. He said he's a realtor and I said I'm an artist and selling my home on Hawaii Island .He asked of my realtor and I said Christi Mallicoat. He said she's a long time friend and a great realtor and suggested that I listen to her and what she says.

I took his advice. I also knew she was the realtor for the house across the street and down a couple doors from my home and they got more for their home than the asking price , as she did mine . Her method works. The good word of her from a competitor was just another selling point for my confidence of her capabilities, and I am forever thankful to her for taking me on as a client . Thank you again Christi. 
Aloha

"Christi is a consummate professional with an eye for detail, excellent advice and very through and extensive knowledge of the real estate market of Hawaii. She made my transaction smooth and practically effortless. She clearly communicates and I’d use her again in any real estate transaction on the island."

November 4th, 2021

"Christi was wonderful to work with. From the first interview, she was prepared and knowledgeable. We had many challenges along the way and she was always there helping find solutions. We tested her patience and knowledge; she passed with flying colors. We are on to new properties and will be working with her soon. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She knows her stuff and is on top of it the whole way through! Do yourself a favor and hire Christi for your real estate buying/selling endeavors; you won't be sorry."

August 10th, 2013

Rarely do we send a letter of recommendation but feel it necessary due to the phenomenal work by Christi on our behalf. We have worked with other agents before but never have we had the service, attention to detail, professionalism, and all around commitment to our goals as Christi.

We would highly recommend Christi to anyone interested in purchasing land in Hawaii. Even when we thought we would never find our spot, Christi kept us motivated and positive, until we achieved our goals. The principals are lucky to have such an amazing talent working for them.

She is an exceptional agent and will help make anyone's dreams come true as she as ours!

Thanks again Christi.

Aloha,

It is my honor to write this unsolicited Letter of Recommendation for Christi Mallicoat!

As a former military veteran and long term team member of my present employer, I have had the opportunity to travel the world and interact with several real estate agents. After my recent property search experience with Ms. Mallicoat, I felt compelled to offer this recommendation.

We found a beautiful piece of property on the Big Island of Hawaii and was fortunate to connect with Christi. From our first communication exchange, we were confident that we were in "good hands."

She not only guided us through the logistics of purchasing the property, but went above the realms of her scope of business by providing us with valued tips and insight which made securing our "piece of paradise"

a wonderful experience.

If you are seeking a real estate agent who is professional, reliable, and very knowledgeable about the market, we are highly recommending that you reach out to Ms. Mallicoat to assist with guiding you through the purchase of your next investment/home! 

Thank you again Christi for exceeding our expectations!!!

With much Mahalo!!!

As an attorney who has been involved in a number of real estate transactions before buying a Big Island property in April 2017 with Christi's help, I'd like to add to the many favorable comments here. Christi doesn't waste time and she doesn't miss a detail. She explains when you need it and lets you do your own decision-making. She is a real professional, accessible and pleasant. She knows the local conditions and the way she plows through the process is a pleasure to behold. My escrow closed in less than a month. Highly recommended.

As a Custom Home Builder I rely heavily on a quality team of professionals to achieve success in a very competitive business. No team member has been more valuable than my real estate agent Christi Mallicoat. 

I have been working with her for two years now and her results have been nothing short of astounding. In that time she has sold multiple properties for me in a time when sales were a hard thing to come by. The last sale I had was in April of 2011 and amazingly Christi brought in a buyer before we even had a chance to list the property in the MLS!

Her dedication to her clients and the professional way she handles both buyer and seller makes the process about as smooth as it could possibly go. 

Thank You Christi for helping us at McCracken’s Construction Service move forward to success in a tough market and can’t wait to work with you on the next one coming up soon!!!

June 14th, 2021

Christ Mallicoat stands out and shines compared to other agents we have used in the past!  Her wisdom and business acumen played an integral role in helping us sell not one property but two! 

Originally we contacted Christi to help us with our vacant lot that we wanted to sell.  That’s where her keen business sense, experience and marketing skills came into play!  We had tried to sell the lot previously and listed it for a year with another agent and we didn’t  have success in selling our lot. 

When Christi got involved she reassured us that she would not have a problem selling our lot!  In less than 24 hours we received our first offer!  In less than two days Christi had sold our lot!

We mentioned to Christi that we were possibly thinking of selling one of our houses possibly next year.  She asked questions, wanted to know more details and our reasoning for wanting to wait to sell.  She is an excellent listener and really helps her clients!

 She listed our house in HPP and she found a buyer she had spoken to in the past!  We were amazed at how quickly she sold our second property!  We are so pleased with her outstanding client services, she is definitely the person to call to have her help you!  Do not hesitate she is a real Go Getter and out performs most agents!

Dear Christi,

Words are never enough to thank you for your excellent service and support. It is a privilege to do business with you and hope to keep in touch from time to time.

 

We had few candidates for a Realtor but we ended up to choose you because you were the only one who patiently helped us all the way. First time we contacted, you tried your best to help us even you were on holidays. During the process, we noticed all of your emails were so quite concise to the points, detail oriented and received in a timely manner. It was quite helpful especially people like us living outside of Big Island with lack of information.

You also helped us on lots of things which was extended the range of your work. We are touched by way of you welcomed us when visited there.... felt like as if we've known each other long time. We are so lucky to have met you.

 

Mahalo and Arigato!

My name is Carole and I reside in Pennsylvania.  My brother recently passed away on the Big Island where he resided for over forty years.  We spent a month after his passing at the house he built in Orchidland in order to settle his estate and sell the property.  Since we were not familiar with any realtors in the area, my brother's neighbor suggested Christi Mallicoat of ReLife Realty, LLC.  Before coming to see us, she checked the building department records and discovered that several permits were never finalized when the house was built.  She explained all this to us and said she would not put the property on the market until the permits were finalized.  She proceeded to get the info from the building department as to who needed to be contacted to resolve this issue.  Between she and I writing a lot of emails and making many phone calls, we finally did get all the permits finalized.  Christi immediately listed the property for sale at a price she felt would sell quickly and we had a buyer within ten days.  Unfortunately the buyers backed out after a few weeks, but Christi immediately put the property back on the market at the same price and we had a new buyer within a few days.  We enjoyed working with Christi.  We found her to be very knowlegible about the real estate market in the area.  With us living in Pennsylvania, she kept us updated on everything that was going in the selling process and was very easy to get in touch with whenever I had any questions.  I would highly recommend Christi Mallicoat of ReLife Realty, LLC if you are planning on selling or buying property not only on the Big Island but the other islands in the Hawaii chain. 

May 5th, 2019

 

I highly recommend Christi to anyone who wants to list their home for sale.  She is knowledgeable, diligent and reliable, as well as a pleasure to work with.  When I went to sell my Big Island home, Christi was right on target with her market analysis, and she provided many helpful tips on how best to market the property and bring it into turnkey condition.  She kept me advised promptly on all offers and developments while my home was listed.  I felt that I was well represented in all communications with the buyer.  Christi assisted with scheduling all inspections and repairs, and she regularly monitored the sale from the beginning through the close of escrow.  She helped to make the entire process go without a hitch, especially by handling everything in Hawaii while I was on the mainland. I was very satisfied with my experience in working with Christi, and I would not hesitate to turn to her for any future real estate needs.

" We were ever so impressed with Christi's knowledge and expertise, as well as her very insightful and positive outlook, which stood out among other prospective realtors. As the process moved on, she proved to be an exceptional promoter among her colleagues on the Big Island. She kept up with the market analysis on a regular basis, and sold our home in 3 weeks! She made sure the process kept moving and assisted the buyer's realtor any way she could. We would, highly recommend her, and already have shared with my friends how pleased we are that we chose her! As a broker/realtor, she knows more than most run-of-the-mill realtors. You shouldn't settle for anyone else, if you want a stress-free sale or purchase."

If you want a Piece of Paradise in Hawaii, Christi is the agent who will make it happen! I have both sold and purchased homes with Christi and I would never use another agent. She knows the market and has good networking skills. She goes far out of her way to serve and help. Patience and loyalty to you, her client, are her best qualities. She will never pressure you to buy something you don't want just for the sake of making a sale. Even so, she will make suggestions on properties or areas you might not have thought about. If there's a problem or glitch--which sometimes happens during real estate deals--she will smooth it over so you get the best result. One day I hope to use her expertise to buy a larger property that will be my "forever" home. In the meantime, may lots of commissions come her way because she deserves it!

May 11th, 2020

Christi,

 Thank you so much for helping us sell our lot in Puna.  With your assistance, I am certain that we were able to secure the best possible selling price for the property.  Your area knowledge and preparation of the sale package helped us move the property quickly in a very difficult market.  We highly recommend you to anyone wishing to sell in the Puna area.

 Best regards,

Christi sold my house in 5 days! She's very knowledgeable, professional and made me feel as if I was her only client! She's the best I would highly recommend her .

I am very pleased to recommend Christi for your real estate brokerage services. I originally listed my house for sale with another realtor without receiving any offers. The house proved to be difficult to sell, but Christi worked with me to arrive at a listing price that generated showings and eventually a sale. I do not live on the island, and Christi went the extra mile for me by coordinating inspections and contractors as needed to complete all the tasks required to close the deal.

There's a young professional real estate agent on the Big Island who is a terrific asset in the challenging housing market on The Big Island. We had put our home in Hawaiian Beaches up for sale one day before the volcano Kilauea started erupting in 2018 . Seeing that are were in Lava Zone 2 the housing market came to a standstill. We returned to our home in Tucson Arizona. Trying to sell a home in Hawaii while residing on the mainland is difficult at best. Christi went right to work for us and contacted us with updates consistently. She is personable, respectful, knowledgable and very professional. The offer she secured for us was contingent upon the buyer selling her home out of state. She kept in constant contact with the buyers agents both on island and out of state. She watched out for us and our property and informed us when something on our property needed attention. She worked tirelessly to see this transaction through to the end. She walks the talk. If you're looking for a great agent give Christi a call. You won't be disappointed.

I would highly recommend Christi Mallicoat if you find yourself in need of a broker to sell realty you own in Hawaii, but are located in the continental United States.  Specifically, Christi provided helpful assistance when my family needed to sell some undeveloped property we had inherited.  She alerted us in advance about the regulations applicable in Hawaii and helped to guide us through the process.  She was thoughtful, always willing to answer our questions or try to find answers to them, and unfailingly polite.  In short, she was a real professional.  Fortunately, she was able to sell the property within a reasonable time at an acceptable price.

Dear Christi,

 

 

Thank you so much for the great job you did getting my Hawaiian Paradise Park lot sold. You really covered this for me. It was so easy on my end all the way here in Colorado, the other best place in the world.

 

Thanks for convincing me to be patient and wait for the right buyer. You got me full asking price. It was a pleasure working with you.

 

 

Best Alohas,

"After three visits to Hawaii and after talking to fifty agents, Christi was the only agent who helped me find exactly what I want and at the price I want it. I am very grateful to her. She is the best!"

Aloha Christi,

I can't thank you enough for the great job you did selling my property.

It had to be tough with all the activity going on, I'm sure very distracting!

You always kept me updated plus when I called with questions a quick reply.

Your dedication to your clients is wonderful!

Keep up the good work!

From a very pleased client.

Aloha

It was a pleasure working with you, and I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone thinking of selling property on the Big Island.  

Thank you again.

Christi

We want to express our gratitude for the professional service you provided us in the selling of our property at Fern Acres.  Since we live on Oahu and not familiar with the area near Hilo it would have been difficult for us to sell on our own.   As soon as we contacted you, you responded almost immediately.  That same situation continue through this whole process.  When we had questions or concerns you responded back to us promptly either by email or phone to alleviate any issues.  Along the way you also gave us good advice and we appreciate your expertise and cantor.   As the sell move forward you always kept us abreast of the steps being made and what we would need to do at each step.   All and all you made this whole situation seem pretty seamless and made us feel comfortable that everything was being done as it should be. 

Without hesitation we are confident in recommending you for any real estate transaction.

Mahalo,

"Christi is smart, proactive, a great communicator and super focused on her client’s needs. I live in Thailand and contacted Christi about looking for a property to buy on the Big Island. We exchanged emails and spoke on the phone until one day as we were talking, she found a property that was being listed that day. It sounded good and I asked her to look at it for me. She immediately went out to see it and then we discussed it on the phone. I said let’s go for it and that same day she wrote up the contract, emailed to me and I e-signed it and sent it back to her. We got the property because of Christi’s amazing attention and focus. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a property on the Big Island."

December 10th, 2015

I can't wait to meet Christi.........she has been there for me with every step of my dream home buying journey. There were a few stressful times and she was always there to reassure me everything will work out, and it did.

On a normal rating scale, Christi is just so much over the top I can't even put a number on it. One in a million..........you just don't find many people who go so far out of their way to make sure you are okay.

I will never be able to thank you enough Christi, you are my hero.

Mahalo nui loa my friend.

I used to live on the Big Island of Hawaii and now live in Victoria, B.C.  I have missed living on the Big Island and decided to start looking for Real Estate there.  A friend of mine recommended Christi and because of my great experience I am passing it on.

Christi carefully listened to what I wanted and was able to send me listings before my scheduled trip.  She also suggested that I might want to buy land and build to get exactly what I wanted which I hadn't even considered.  She set me up to talk to a builder so I could get an idea of what building would entail.  When I arrived we started looking the next day.  I was impressed with Christi because she was able to look at properties with me and point out details I may not have noticed and she never pressured me which I appreciated.

I did find my piece of paradise and am grateful that Christi was willing to do so much to help me with a big decision.  I feel I have made a new friend and highly recommend Christi for all your real estate needs.

"Christi Mallicoat really knows her stuff! Very professional. Highly recommend her for your real estate transaction."

January 10th, 2018

Christi was the key to selling our Big Island property.  As the inevitable wrinkles developed during escrow she responded with excellent problem-solving skills that were a key to successfully closing the sale.  We are very thankful for her help and say this: Mahalo nui loa Christi, we really appreciate your help and professionalism, and will refer any ohana to you in need of a highly-skilled real estate professional.  

December 22nd, 2017

Hello Christi,

I just wanted to take a moment to say “Thank You” for handling my property.  I never would have imagined getting my property sold so quickly at nearly asking price!  As a seller, I could not ask for anything more from an agent.  Your professionalism really stood out!  You meet all deadlines, you always kept me informed, and had a vast knowledge of this environment.  I am looking forward to working with you again.

Sincerely,

DERRICK LOOMIS

WAIKOLOA VILLAGE, HI

We recently sold our home and relocated to the mainland due to a job change. I can't say enough good things about our realtor Christi. She was always on top of things. If I ever called and had to leave a message she always called back the same day, if not same hour. She went above and beyond to get our house closed sooner than expected. I'm looking forward to working with her when we buy our next home on the mainland.

Christi gets stuff done! Thank you so much for moving quickly on everything in the process of selling our property, and keeping in constant communication with us throughout the process. after several frustrating months of trying to sell "by owner", we are so glad we contacted you. Within days, Christi had our property featured on a real estate website along with an epic aerial video showing how close it was to the ocean, parks, etc. Within the first two weeks we had an offer, and had closed on the property (at very close to our asking price) within one month. Thank you Christi for making it such a smooth and easy process for us, and for your ideas that made our property stand out. We appreciate your help so much, and will definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking for an agent.

After several years of unsuccessful attempts with other real estate agents, I can gratefully say that Christi Mallicoat sold not one, not two, but three of my properties in less than one year!

Thanks- a-millon for helping sell my house so fast! (about 2 months) You know this real estate dance well. I feel confident and at ease as you lead me through all the complicated steps. Even though I was on an outer island you kept the tempo moving, stayed up beat, and on point throughout the process. Questions were answered with clarity and consideration. Documents were fined tuned, and the MLS publicity photos were fantastic!

Christi, you are a super-duper on the ball agent!

October 8th, 2017

I began working with Christi Mallicoat from the mainland a few months prior to my move to the Big Island. She understood our needs every step of the way. She went above and beyond to find the perfect lot at the best location and price for us. I highly recommend her and will definitely be appointing her for any of my future real estate needs. She really takes the time to listen and understand your unique situation. 

-Mahalo!

July 13th, 2012

Thank you Christi Mallicoat for the professional and expedient manner in which you accomplished the sale of my beautiful ocean front home on the big island. The efficient and smooth mannerism in which you handled the sale was greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to future real estate transactions with you as a partner. I highly recommend your services!

September 30th, 2016

"Christi is fantastic! Very prompt and professional. She was always available with any questions I had about the property and went the extra mile in ensuring I was completely satisfied with my purchase. I highly recommend her if you want to turn your dreams into reality!"

Thanks again Christi!!! 

Mahalo!

Christi made selling my 4 acre property easy!  The home, built in 1975, was nonconforming to permit, aging, and located in a hard to access off-grid location.  Christi understood just how to market this agricultural property, had a great video done highlighting its charm, and stirred up interest among other realtors and potential buyers. I ended up having a cash sale after only 4 months on the market and received a price very close to my asking price. The buyers will fit in well in that neighborhood which was an added bonus and the result of good marketing strategy. Christi was available at every step of the process to explain requirements and help with paperwork.  It was a pleasure to list with such a hard working realtor and I would recommend Christi to anyone selling a home or vacant land in East Hawaii.

My wife and I just recently closed escrow on a property in Pahoa, on the Big Island Hawaii. Christi Mallicoat was our agent and was a tremendous asset throughout the process.

The transaction was a short sale and it took several months to complete, during which Christi stayed focused on all the details, and made sure that everything stayed on course.

Christi is very knowledgeable about the area and was a great help lining up inspections and other services that we needed to complete the purchase. We plan to purchase a couple of rental properties and will look forward to working with Christi again.

We have really enjoyed the process of selling our home in Hawaiian Beaches for a great price. Thank you for your hard work, knowledge, and availability. Also, we appreciate the very smooth and productive negotiation that you accomplished in the purchase of our new building lot in Hawaiian Shores. 

You have such complete knowledge of this area of Puna, that I believe everyone should use you as their Realtor.

We appreciate you!
