Kristin M. Zimmerman & John F. Friedman were fantastic to work with. They were very professional and kept us informed every step of the way. The condo sold quickly and close to our asking price. This was our second time working with John and Kristin, we couldn't ask for a better team. We highly recommend Kauai Aloha Real Estate, Inc.

I had the pleasure of working with John and Kristin when purchasing my condo in 2012. Since my purchase, they have kept in regular contact with me regarding other opportunities they felt might be of interest to me, as well as keeping me aware of any potential opportunities to sell my condo. Their communications were specific to my interests and affordability. Whenever we visit Kauai, we always make sure we meet them for drinks or a meal.

When we made the difficult decision to sell, they were our first call. We never once gave any consideration to working with anyone else. If we ever decide to buy on Kauai again, they will be our first call!

We had the most amazing experience with Kristin and John. We felt like they had our best interests at heart and that they truly cared about us and our purchase. Their communication and local knowledge made it so much easier to navigate the sales process. We would (and will) highly recommend Kristin and John and Kauai Aloha Real Estate, Inc to all of our family and friends.

Kristin and John listed out property for more than we wanted, negotiated for us a price that was much better than expected, closed the deal faster than we anticipated and handled all problems along the way (there were multiple ones) professionally and timely. We could not have been more satisfied nor could be recommend anyone higher than this team.

Excellent job and most knowledgeable.

Kiristin and John combine boundless energy and thoughtfulness with a truly amazing knowledge of all aspects of real estate in Kauai. They function like estate agents, not salesmen. They carefully monitor the legal, liability, environmental and zoning
Issues and know exactly where to find solutions. When we needed to be on the island and could not rent a vehicle, they lent us their truck for two weeks! Even after the close of escrow they continue to provide crucial timely information about the property we bought. They know everyone and put us in touch with key people in everything from landscaping to surveying, construction, the HOA and the planning department. They opened doors for us everywhere.

The most knowledgable, accurate, helpful and professional brokers we have ever worked with!

John and Kristin helped us purchase a wonderful home in Kauai all the way from California. It didn't take us long to know we could trust their knowledge of the island and real estate market. They made a complicated process easy for us. We would recommend them for numerous reasons but especially for their honesty.

This is the fourth real estate transaction I have worked with Kristin Zimmerman and John Friedman on. The first was a short sale which turned into a disaster with the seller guilty of breach of contract by agreeing to the sale and refusing to sign final closing documents. Kristin and John stood by my side, went to arbitration and all the court dates. Because they went above and beyond what an agent would do, I used them on all my other transactions. They have always given excellent advice on what would show well. I have recommended them to friends who have also said they had an excellent experience. John and Kristin even helped one of my friends with her move after they sold her a new condo. They truly care and go above and beyond.

John and Kristen were excellent to deal with during the listing and sale of our property. My husband and I live in Alabama and have very little knowledge of Hawaiian real estate laws and guidelines. John and Kristen helped to educate us and navigated us through the process seamlessly. They were professional, but also very approachable and easy to talk with. They understood what was important to us as sellers. Despite the 5 hour time difference, we were always able to contact them when needed. John and Kristen were given a unique challenge due to extreme COVID-19 travel restrictions, but still managed to sell the property for us. We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of realtors!

John and Kristen have been the most thorough, helpful, knowledgeable realtors we have ever worked with. They continue to give us their time and expertise whenever we need it. They are the best! We highly recommend them!

They continue to help us as we are on the mainland snd have not been able to get to our new house. They have watched over our property for the last Covid year and helped us find people to care for the house and yard.

Use them! Kristen Zimmerman and John Friedman are dedicated to not just the sale but to their clients ongoing satisfaction.

Kristin M. Zimmerman & John F. Friedman were always by our side, guiding through the process. As a result, what could have been a complex process became one of the cherished experience. The consistency in behaviors of care and Aloha spirit, open and honest communication, deep knowledge of this domain were all the qualities that we loved about John and Kristin. They definitely go above and beyond the traditional transactional engagement.

John Friedman and Kristin Zimmerman are our hands down favorite realtors ever. It is so easy to work with them. John goes over the top to research every detail to make sure no stones are unturned when researching property.

We worked with John and Kristen for a number of years that we visited Jauai. They were accessible and patient with us until the time was right to buy! They listened to our needs and found condos that met our wants and needs. We are beyond happy with our results! Thank you John and Kristen!

John had the personal touch that helped make my first home purchase go smoothly. I feel that he had my personal interest top priority

Kristin & John know their market, they truly represented our interests, and they were diligent in moving the deal to closing. True professionals!

Kristin and John are very knowledgeable about real estate on Kauai. There was never a question about the process of buying and selling property they could not answer. Step by step they guided us in the sale of our property and also prepared us for any delays in that process. They predicted the outcome and time that would be involved before our property sold.

Kristin and John met with us regularly to keep us abreast of the process of buying our new home. They guided us in possible value and future value of our new home. They kept us informed in the steps involved and again what pitfalls may come up in buying a home. Without their experience, I think we would not have kept our cool many times during the course of buying our home.

We believe that because of their care, knowledge of real estate, and their sense about what we wanted we found the right house. We bought what we wanted and needed. Thanks, Kristen M. Zimmerman, and John F. Friedman.

My wife and I had never bought property on Hawaii. We spoke to several potential agents hoping to find someone who could provide the knowledge we lacked in terms of local experience and knowledge. We were also looking for not just an agent, but a business partner to really help us find and acquire what we were looking for. On all counts, Kristin and John exceeded our expectations.
They were able to point us to local resources, help us understand various details of purchasing a property on Kauai, and ensured we understood the current marketplace value of the various properties we considered.
They made what could have been a confusing and frustrating experience move along without any major issues for us. They frequently anticipated things much in advance, their communication was outstanding, and they represented our values of wanting to be fair and professional at all times.
Plus - they are a lot of fun and unflappable!
If you’re looking for high integrity business parters who know the field and committed to looking out for your interests — look no further!

We are the first to admit that our personal friendship with Kristin and John is important. However, business is business, and friends are friends. Our second purchase was a total renovation, which required months of long and arduous work. They were there every step of the way to make sure that not only were we being looked after on Island, but took the time and consideration to help with the process, accept a mountain of shipments from the mainland at their residence, which they delivered, and helped in every way possible and more. Anybody in Hawaii and especially on the Mainland looking to buy or sell property in Kauai would be so well served by using them for your transaction regardless of the size or scope. You want the best? They are the best, and we know from years of experience. To them it's more than just the transaction, it's complete service, help and aloha before and after. My wife and I can be contacted at any time for a personal discussion and reference. They have our contact information.

John and Kristin sold my property in Kauai after two other Realtors could not.
They worked very diligently to market the unit. I was extremely pleased with the high level of competence that they exhibited throughout the transaction. They were extremely prompt and straightforward with all communications. I would strongly recommend them to prospective buyers or sellers on the special Island of Kauai!

I was recommended John and Kristen Friedman on facebook from another first time home buyer. John and Kristen were extremely helpful searching for a property in my budget range and informing me immediately! They were amazingly helpful walking me through all the steps of buying a house and making sure I filled out and turned in all the correct documents on time! Even after purchasing the condo unit, John and Kristen are graciously helping me buy and install curtains and screen doors! Please do consider John and Kristen Friedman
