Evan Clarke

“We came to the Big Island for the first time recently and didn't even know what side that we wanted to live on. Our Kona realtor, Mike Despard, referred us to Evan for the Hilo side. Evan spent an afternoon showing my family and I several beautiful homes in the HPP area and the Hamakua coast. He shared his vast knowledge of the market and great insight of the area. I had a home picked out in Hilo then, changed my mind and went with a place in Kona. Evan was patient and understanding throughout the process. I probably drove him a little crazy with my indecisiveness but Evan remained professional. Mahalo, Evan!”

“I was a little apprehensive when I first hired Evan. In my experience, it's always best to work with a personal referral. Evan and I had no such connection. However, that was quickly overcome when I noticed how quickly Evan responded to questions, how eager he was to get the right answers, and how genuinely interested he seemed to be in making sure I was satisfied. Evan is very down to earth. He knows lots about the local community and quick to point out things that any current or future home owner would be concerned about. He's also extremely patient. Never did I feel rushed or pressured to make any decision. Most importantly, I felt that Evan was honest in his counsel of negotiation strategy and tactics - in other words, quick to point out when he thought perhaps I was making an unrealistic request of the seller, but at the same time, he respected my decisions and was "all in" when it came to going to battle. I felt like he truly had my best interests at heart and was willing to fight for it. Overall, very please with my experience with Evan and I would not hesitate for a second to refer anyone I know to him.”

“My husband and I have had a great experience working with Evan Clarke. I initially met him when he helped my daughter purchase her first home in Hilo. He showed her several homes over a lengthy period of time. He was always quick to respond, and easy to meet with. Because of my daughter’s positive experience with Evan, my husband and I called him when we wanted to purchase a parcel of land to build on. Evan guided us through the entire process; from searching the MLS for vacant pieces of land, to making the offer, and closing the deal. Evan helped to make it a smooth, stress-free, buying experience. Since then, we have purchased multiple properties and always work with Evan. He is savvy, personable, and knows the market inside and out. We are very pleased with Evan and his expertise and we recommend him to everyone.”
