Catherine Klug

Working with Catherine Klug was an outstanding experience! She really understood our personalities and what we were hoping to find in our new townhouse. It was like we were home shopping with an old friend! Catherine maximized our limited time to search, taking us to as many available properties as we wanted to see, as well as talking through the strengths and weaknesses of each. We never felt pushed or rushed and she was honest about her own assessments. I would recommend her to anyone looking on the Kohala Coast. She knew so much about the reputations of the homebuilders and the subdivisions in the Mauna Lani and Waikoloa areas. Thanks, Catherine!

Catherine Klug is the perfect balance between tough and easygoing. When you're making a big financial, personal and sometimes emotional decision, you want a good listener and a strong negotiator, someone respected by their peers. Catherine meets all expectations. She remained calm and confident through the sale of our home, and we, in turn, stayed positive through the entire process. We loved how she quickly responded to all our questions and her knowledge of the whole process from start to finish. We would definitely recommend Catherine to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Waikoloa Village.

Selling a home can be an overwhelming, emotional, stressful process with its own set of challenges. Throw into the mix living out-of-state and moving a loved one from Hawaii into assisted living out-of-state. Due to the situation, there was an extreme amount of work that needed to be done in order to sell the home. Catherine Klug with Hapuna Realty understood my situation, was very patient, understanding and professional with us throughout the entire process. She was always available when I needed her, as well as responding timely to answering calls and emails. Catherine's professional manner, honesty, work ethics throughout the processes are greatly respected and appreciated. I highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home in the islands.

We had a great experience working with Catherine Klug and Pat Strausse in selling our vacation rental home on the island from 5000 miles away, and we didn’t need to go to the island for anything.

When we first were exploring the idea of selling our house, we found Catherine on Zillow by reading some very positive reviews. Catherine gave us a very positive and professional first impression by giving us some market analysis and estimate of the property price.

We reconnected with Catherine almost two years later when we finally decided it was time to sell. Catherine responded to us quickly and was ready to help and introduced her assistant Pat to us. Both Catherine and Pat worked very efficiently to get our house up on the market quickly with professional photos and competitive pricing. Throughout the entire listing, showing, and negotiating processes, Catherine and Pat communicated with us clearly and often. We live in the east coast, and due to the trust and good working relationship with Catherine and Pat, we didn’t even need to go to Hawaii to sell this house. We got several offers over our asking price, Catherine and Pat helped us choose the best offer and close the escrow smoothly. I would definitely ask Catherine to be my agent if I ever buy another property on the island, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable, efficient and professional realtor on the Big Island.

Selling a home in Hawaii and coordinating it with a move to a new home purchase in the mainland, is always a complicated transaction. But, when the time came for us to sell our home in WAIKOLOA, COVID-19 put a new more difficult wrinkle on selling our home of 30 years. We were so very fortunate to hire Catherine Klug and her teammate Pat Strausse to handle the sale of our home. From our first meeting with Catherine and Pat, we were impressed with their obvious knowledge & experience in selling homes in WAIKOLOA. In working with Catherine I found her to be refreshingly honest, direct & sincere. As in most home sales, there were several bumps in the road, but we always had Catherine there to assist us by explaining our options and working to overcome every problem. We always felt she had our best interests in mind and was dedicated to doing what was right for us.

Quite simply, Catherine is the best of the best!

Catherine Klug is a true professional. She is honest, patient, very organized, a great communicator, and easy to work with - all the qualities you look for in a realtor. Purchasing a home in Hawaii is a learning process and Catherine gave us her time and expertise to help us make the right decision. We started looking for a condo and ended up purchasing a house. Once we went under contract she tracked every deadline and helped find the right professionals to make sure there were no unseen issues with our new home. Being “off island” for two months before closing wasn’t a problem, she was always there for us.

We give our highest praise to Catherine. We feel fortunate to have found her!

Catherine Klug and her associate Pat Strausse represent true Real Estate professionals, exemplified by their competitive knowledge, experience, honesty, and integrity.

After meeting several Realtors on the Big Island, Catherine and Pat were selected based not only on their professional skill sets, but also friendly aloha approach and no nonsense, common sense negotiation.

With our challenge of selling property remotely, timing the market for peak demand, and lack of resource contacts in the area; Catherine and Pat reached out and quickly discerned our needs for selling our home in a timely manner.

Ironic, but concerns about listing our property later than expected were alleviated when multiple offers came in within the first few weeks of listing. In addition, their due diligence allowed for an escrow close sooner than contract date.

We're now very satisfied clients that will miss our beautiful home, but will be back to the Big Island when the right opportunity occurs. Be assured, our first phone call will be to Catherine and Pat.

Catherine Klug was professional throughout, she acted promptly, she provided information when we needed it, and she made suggestions that allowed us freedom in deciding but significantly helped with our decision making. I would not hesitate to recommend Catherine to other sellers.
