Julie is amazing!!! She has helped me through 5 real estate transactions. She truly cares about her clients and makes buying and selling easy. She helped me find my forever home.

As a first-time home buyer in Kona, I didn’t realize how much goes into buying a home in Hawai‘i, but Julie made the whole process way easier and kept everything on track. Being able to stay and build a life on the Big Island means a lot to us, and having someone this knowledgeable in Kona real estate made it happen—highly recommend her if you’re buying or selling here.

I’ve had the unique experience of watching my mom, Julie Wettstein, help clients buy and sell homes in Kona and across the Big Island my entire life—but I never truly understood how much goes into the home buying process until I became her client as a first-time home buyer. Growing up in Kona, being able to stay here and put down roots is incredibly important to me—and owning a home makes that possible. Having my mom guide me through buying my first home in Hawai‘i meant everything. From start to finish, she was on top of every detail—contracts, timelines, communication, and all the behind-the-scenes work that most people never see. She made the entire process feel smooth and manageable, even in a competitive Hawaii real estate market. What truly sets her apart is how much she cares. She takes the time to educate, protect, and support her clients every step of the way. It’s not just about buying a house—it’s about helping people create a life here. I’ve always been proud of her, but going through this experience gave me a whole new level of appreciation for what she does as a Kona Realtor. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home on the Big Island—especially as a first-time buyer—you won’t find anyone more dedicated or knowledgeable.
