What Our Clients Say

Elisa S.

Julie and Eric were above-and-beyond helpful from our initial conversation to the details after closing. I am a DIY person when it comes to real estate, but the market and process here are far too volatile and complex to navigate without an agent, and this dynamic duo is the best of the best! I am forever thankful to them for treating me like family.

My husband David and I had planned to find a house on the island in April and move in June 2020, but the virus changed those plans. When our plan to come in August fell through we decided to do the unthinkable and look at houses remotely from New Jersey. We had seen Lance Owens in Julie’s groups and felt we could trust him to find us a house. We were trying to decide between Waikoloa and Kona. Lance was amazing. He drove around the neighborhoods FaceTiming with us as he went. Julie joined him and the two of them gave us great tours of each house, looking in closets, under sinks and in all the places you don’t see in the pictures. Along the way they gave insights to neighborhoods and pros and cons of each house. They found us our dream home in Kona and we are now in escrow. We couldn’t have done it without them and we are so grateful for their help. So glad we found them.

Kristine Dunker

Julie and Eric are absolutely amazing resources for anyone interested in learning more about life in Hawaii and the wonderful culture and environment of the island. They are extremely service-minded and an absolute wealth of knowledge about island real estate. They recently guided my family and I through our purchase of a condo in Kona. They made the process extremely easy and connected with us an amazing lender. My family and I could not be happier. Beyond helping people with their home purchases, Julie and Eric care deeply about bringing people to the island who want to help the local community, and they work tirelessly to help their clients succeed. I can't say enough great things about these two, and I recommend their services most highly!

Jadine Berg

Julie and Eric were extremely helpful when I moved to Kona. Not only did they help me find a place to live, they helped me move in. They specialize in hands on service, and attention to detail. I now consider them friends for life!

My wife and I used Julie and Eric Ziemelis as buyers agents for purchasing a home in the Captain Cook area. Sandy my wife, followed Julie on Hawaii 365 which was very helpful information on the basics of owning a home in Hawaii. With that knowledge it was easy to narrow our search area. There were three different homes in the area and they gave us honest feedback on the homes not glossing over defects. When our house was under contract they had the paperwork ready and it closed in about 2 weeks. That was fast. Eric even helped me on a Costco run for mattresses. Who wants to go to Costco in Kona, nobody. Robert and Sandy Spencer

Jeff Law

Highly recommend! Great experience working with Eric and Julie. In addition to selling my home extremely quickly for a good price, they went above and beyond with their assistance selling my home in Kona. If I move back to Hawaii someday, they will be my first and only call. Jeff L.

Sue Oconnor

Cannot recommend Team Ziemelis enough! Our search for our Hawai’i home started with watching their valuable content on YouTube. I also ordered their book to get incredibly helpful information. When my husband and I connected with them to start our search they were so supportive and helpful. They drove us around neighborhoods to help us narrow down our search when came out the first time. They were with us through the whole process giving local insight into neighborhoods and steering us away from houses that looked good on the internet but not in real life. This was incredibly helpful since we were on the mainland. When we found our house, that we now call home, they put in a strong offer in an uber competitive offer and we were thrilled when it was accepted. Since moving to Hawaii three years ago they have become true friends and you could not find better humans to guide you through this journey!

Kurt Koegler

We first „met“ Julie and Eric when we discovered their 365 Hawaii YouTube channel during the early days of the pandemic. We had decided our retirement would include a rental condo on the Big Island where we would spend time there ourselves. Their videos were entertaining and informative, especially the videos on the Big Island‘s Real Estate market. Fast forward 3 years and we decided renting property (we also had rental property in Oregon) was just not for us. By then, Eric and Julie had received their real estate licenses and we had actually got to know them personally. There was no question that we would list our condo (in White Sands Village) with them. They did a great job marketing our condo and had excellent suggestions as we prepared it for sale. As a result, we had an offer we accepted in the first week it was listed. We found Eric and Julie to be communicative, knowledgeable, hardworking and actually fun to work with. In fact they ended up providing services for our buyer as their agent was not particularly responsive and hardworking. Without Julie and Eric going the extra mile, the sale would have likely not closed. We can’t say enough about their dedication and commitment and feel fortunate to now have them as friends.

Let's get you to your beautiful Hawaii home!
