From the Redwoods to the Big Island

What do Clients Say?

Dustin sold our $6M Kohanaiki residence in record time! From the moment we started working with Dustin, all the way through closing, he was one of the most professional, diligent, organized, and communicative agents I've worked with. He kept us regularly updated on every step by using an online organization folio that allowed us to track the progress without having to spend time asking and answering questions. Isn't that the dream? Moving can be so stressful, but having an agent that takes care of your sale without needing to be micromanaged or checked in on is the best. We would recommend Dustin to anyone looking to buy or sell along the Kohala coast. Dustin was an absolute dream to work with and we look forward to the opportunity to work with him again! Cindy R.

Dustin did an outstanding job representing us on the sale of HA9 in Kohanaiki. From start to finish, he was professional, thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the Kohanaiki market. He helped guide the transaction smoothly, kept everything moving, and made us feel well represented throughout the entire process. Selling a home in a private club community requires a level of local knowledge, discretion, and relationship-building that not every realtor has, and Dustin really delivered on all fronts. This was one of the best experiences we’ve had working with a realtor. I would highly recommend Dustin to anyone buying or selling at Kohanaiki or along the Kona Coast. Tim M.

We just closed on our new build, and we couldn’t have done it without Dustin! He was our eyes and ears on-site throughout the entire build. His communication was flawless—we always knew exactly what stage the house was in and what to expect next. If you’re building a home or buying a home you want Dustin in your corner to make sure things get done right. Mary R.

Dustin was so helpful finding us a new home and made the process easy. Answering questions quickly and giving feedback on islands living. Sent us graphics and information about listing our home now and looking forward to listing our home and looking forward to our next purchase in future. Kirk M.

We could not recommend working with Dustin enough! He made the process of getting our house ready to sell and putting it on the market an incredibly smooth experience. Him and his team gave us key advice on strategy (that we might have done differently) that made all the difference - we sold our home in one weekend for 100,000 more than our asking price. We especially appreciated how they added staging into their package which just put our house over the top in how it was presented, and their media and marketing is incredible. Most of all we appreciated how friendly and professional they were. Absolutely amazing realtor, thank you Dustin! Madeleine C.

About Dustin

Dustin was blessed to move to the Big Island at the age of twelve, trading the redwoods of Northern California for the rugged beauty of Hawaiʻi Island through a turn of unique and fortunate events (ask him about it, it’s a colorful story).

Over nearly thirty years in Kona, Dustin has forged a deep connection to his island home and to his roots along the North Coast. With more than two decades of experience in luxury hospitality and sales along the Kona Kohala resort coast, he spent ten years at Nanea Golf Club, serving in several roles, including Wine Director, where he curated a world-class wine program.

Transitioning into real estate was a natural evolution for Dustin, who combines his hospitality background, attentive listening, and strong communication skills to provide professional, personalized service. From assisting first-time buyers to representing luxury properties, Dustin brings ease, grace, and deep local insight to every client relationship.

Most recently, as part of the Kohanaiki Realty team, Dustin contributed to an extraordinary $212 million in sales in a single year, a reflection of both his commitment and the strength of his connections within the community.

Dustin’s long-standing ties to the Big Island make him a trusted resource for buyers and sellers alike. His extensive knowledge of Hawaiʻi Island and its diverse micro-communities proves invaluable throughout every stage of the process.

Dustin is blessed with a supportive wife, Katelyn, and their spirited Mexican Bulldog (Chihuahua/Pit Bull), Dexter.

As a REALTOR®, surfer, golfer, yoga enthusiast, and reluctant, occasional triathlete, Dustin embodies an active, balanced lifestyle. He loves his family, his island community, and the Aloha Spirit, and feels grateful every day to call this remarkable place home.
