“When we decided to fulfill our dream of retiring on Kauai we worked with Patsy to find our ideal townhome. She was responsive, worked hard on our behalf, and was a pleasure to work with.”

Aloha!
If you’re here on my Hawaii Life page you’re likely thinking about owning your own piece of paradise here on our beautiful garden island of Kauai. And you probably have many, many questions! Can I afford it? Home or condo? Do I want to be here full time or part time? Can I rent while I’m off island? What kind of financing is available? Where are the best parts of the island to look depending on my budget and lifestyle?
The good news is that I’m here to help you. If you’re on-island let’s meet over coffee or a Mai Tai. If not, let’s FaceTime! I can:
Show you many wonderful listings of all home types in your price range
Help you understand the legal and financial considerations for renting your home while you’re off island
Discuss financing options
Familiarize you with the unique lifestyles of the various sides of Kauai – North, South, East & West!
AND HELP YOU NEGOTIATE THE BEST PRICE FOR YOUR KAUAI DREAM HOME.
Many who come here say Kauai calls to them. The sheer beauty and relaxed lifestyle called to me and my family, and after many visits from our home in Boulder we now live here full time. In fact my husband’s family has quite a history on Kauai! His grandfather moved here in 1921 and became the county engineer – overseeing the building of the breakwater in Kalapaki Bay and the many charming one lane bridges on the North Shore!
So you can see that my family has a rich history here on Kauai. Let me help you begin your family’s journey.

What my clients are saying...
Patsy Garlinghouse was excellent to work with as my wife and I completed the purchase of our condominium at The Cliffs in Kaua'i. We had been considering such a purchase for about a year and when our condominium came on the market, Patsy quickly made contact and made the process easy. With Patsy working in Kaua'i and our residence in Washington State, logistical challenges were expected. Patsy and her team did a fine job of laying out the steps and monitoring the process. Patsy took a very proactive role to arrange a FaceTime walkthrough of the unit, coordinate inspection and remediation work and handle communication with the sellers and their agent. She used her contact network to identify financing options and to identify a vacation rental management firm. We are absolutely delighted we had Patsy represent us and consider the purchase process a great success. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase property on Kaua'i.
Patsy Garlinghouse was all that we could have wanted in a realtor and more. She promptly showed us on line several choices in our desired location and price range. When we narrowed it down to three possibilities in our preferred location, she patiently kept checking their availability and reported back to us. She showed us a descriptive video of the condo of our choice and when we were able to come to Kauai, she accompanied us during the inspection. When we met her in person, Patsy demonstrated all the graciousness and knowledge that we experienced on line. She helped us line up the necessary contractors needed for renovation and get the electrical and internet services going. If any problems came up, Patsy was right there to help solve them and always kept us informed. I would highly recommend Patsy to anyone.
