As an attorney in my home state, I have dealt with numerous real estate agents over the years in connection with my real estate practice. I have found Hawaii’s Carrie Nicholson to be exceptionally talented and one of the best real estate professionals with whom I have had the privilege and good fortune to work. My wife and I have purchased and/or sold numerous properties on the Big Island using her services, including our current property, and we have been impressed with her diligence, professionalism, and in-depth knowledge of local real estate practices.
