Meet Kristen

Kristen Matthews brings a rare combination of cultural fluency and global perspective to every transaction on the Kona-Kohala coast and beyond. 

A native of O`ahu;  now based on the Big Island, Kristen understands Hawai`i not as a market to study, but as home. And she brings the same depth of attention to clients navigating everything from luxury estate purchases to first-home milestones.  

 

In her first three years of real estate, Kristen was nominated for Rookie of the Year and REALTOR® of the Year. She has served on multiple committees within the real estate industry, notably in the capacity of Vice-Chair and Chair of the nationally recognized Young Professionals Network. A testament to her philanthropy and dedication to serve. 

Kristen is known for her precise, transparent guidance through complex transactions, sharp market analysis, and genuine investment in her clients' outcomes long after closing day. Her perspective is shaped by extensive international travel and a life lived actively. 

 Whether representing buyers or sellers, Kristen combines local expertise with an elevated, detail-driven approach- because home in Hawai`i is never just a transaction.
