Catherine Klug

Having recently had Catherine complete a very successful sale of our rental home in Waikoloa Village, we knew Catherine was the only choice to sell our Waikoloa Village home. And for a second time, we couldn't be more pleased with our experience working with Catherine Klug.

What truly sets Catherine apart is her commitment to her clients. She was always accessible and consistently went above and beyond to ensure our interests were protected.

She guided us through each step with expertise, from setting the right price point for our property to coordinating showings and managing negotiations. Her market insights and strategic approach to marketing our home proved invaluable.

We wholeheartedly recommend Catherine Klug to anyone looking to buy or sell property in Waikoloa Village. Her combination of professional expertise, integrity, and dedication makes her an outstanding choice for your real estate needs!

Our experience with Catherine was simply the best imaginable. From our initial meeting all the way to closing, it could not have been made any easier. Her experience and professionalism was apparent during every interaction. We don't see why someone would choose anyone else!

We have been receiving and reading Catherine’s market updates for years. When it was time to sell our rental house, we knew Catherine was the only call we needed to make. She was very helpful advising us on what we did and didn’t need to do before putting our house on the market.

Catherine's expertise, professionalism and dedication made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Waikoloa area. Thank you, Catherine, for your outstanding service!

Catherine Klug was amazing! She knew what I needed even when I did not. This was a difficult sale for us, as this was a well-loved family home, but we needed to sell after the death of my husband. She was never pushy or aggressive. She was a true advisor, and I would consider her now a friend. I have purchased and sold a few homes in my life, and I can say, without reservation, that I have never trusted an agent to handle my interests more than I did with Catherine. She monitored everything having to do with this transaction, and I'm sure she devoted more time to the sale of my property than most realtors would have. She put me in touch with a fabulous team of workers in order to get my property market-ready. She was conscious of my limited budget, and did not have unreasonable expectations of me. She spent countless days and hours at my home, taking care of things that I could not, as I was on the mainland. We had almost twenty years' worth of personal belongings, and she helped me "rehome" much of these things. I never had any reservations about Catherine's professional competency. She is highly skilled, extremely sharp, and a pleasure to work with!

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!

Lex & Ebby Pinson

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.
