What my clients are saying...
Working with Tanya to purchase our property was one of the rare highlights of 2020! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the local area, real estate market, and most importantly the community. Her responsiveness and attention to detail is exactly what you want from a realtor. From our very first phone call, Tanya has been so friendly and helpful. Even now as we settle in, she continues to help us with recommendations and tips. Thank you, Tanya!
My husband Richard Parmenter and I (Teresa) moved to Oahu January 30, 2013. Within 6 months to a year we realized we wanted to investigate purchasing "raw" land. Knowing that is impossible on Oahu, we decided to visit the Big Island. To make a long story short, we were put in touch with Tanya Sunshine. (Her last name says it all - a great attitude and wonderful if not not "sunny" disposition).
Tanya started the process by sending us listings via the web for the Kona area. We immediately found several properties we were interested in seeing.
We made travel plans to meet Tanya on Kona and she spent the entire day with us looking at lots in the Milolii area. She definitely knows her way around the Captain Cook area as well as Milolii. She went above and beyond what we were expecting. She is very knowledgeable and after choosing a lot, she started work immediately.
Her professionalism and knowledge sped the process along and we became proud owners of our "raw" land within 30 days, give or take.
Tanya always was available for questions, concerns or any information we needed. She truly stepped up the plate and hit a home run.
We highly recommend Tanya for any and all of your real estate needs.
Thank you Tanya for making our dream purchase a reality.
