Over the years I’ve bought and sold quite a few properties and had many experiences with realtors, both good and bad. From that perspective, I can unequivocally state that Todd Barrett is at the very top of the list of great realtors anywhere! Todd is extremely knowledgeable and competent. He knows his business, he knows Hawaii, and he knows the real estate market in Hawaii. He also is expert in every aspect of the buy/sell process. And much more than that, Todd is a naturally kind and generous human being! And this shows in every interaction throughout buying a new home. Todd works FOR his clients. There is no pressure, no manipulation. Instead, Todd was there to help me find the right property and move forward as I wanted to proceed! Very quickly I built confidence in his knowledge and competence. And the result of all his hard work was to build a lasting bond of sincere trust between us! I recommend Todd without reservation of any kind.

We are fortunate to have known Todd for several years. He is a pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgeable about real estate in Hawaii. Todd was able to narrow down areas that we were interested in and he found us our forever home within the first week of us being on island. Todd takes the time to get to know what a clients interests are and really cares about making the buying or selling experience a pleasant one. We would highly recommend Todd for any real estate transactions.

Aloha Friends,I just wanted to share with you my experience working with Todd Barrett.We lost our house to the lava flow in 2018 and decided to look for a new home in Kailua Kona. Todd being familiar with the east and west side of the island showed us exactly what we were looking for. We were also able to work through some of the intricacies of purchasing from the mainland with Todd’s high level of communication.He is also a great resource to people new to the Island, having contacts in all trades and intimate knowledge of everything Hawaii.Todd told me that “Keauhou” means new beginnings, and I want to thank him for helping us start our new beginnings in our new home in Keauhou!

We worked with Todd on two separate transactions one with a buyer and the other with a lease. He was very diligent and professional with both deals. We would most definitely work with Todd again in the future.

Aloha. We decided to move to Hawaii and not being familiar with neighborhoods and areas, we were blessed and fortunate enough to have found Todd Barrett as our realtor and now friend. We didn’t think it would be difficult to find a good fit for us, however it took a year and a half and over 50 properties before we found our forever home. Todd was professional, patient, and came to understand what we were looking for pretty quickly after the first couple of properties. He’s very familiar with the area and was able to find us our perfect property.When it’s time to do it again, we would not hesitate to use Todd again.

Todd is an outstanding realtor who knows the Kona market. He shepherded my husband and I through the process being out of state buyers and helped us find a home with a spectacular view of the Kona coast in a beautiful neighborhood. Todd also gave us tips about living on the Big Island, and became a go-to source for info on everything from restaurants to beaches. Todd is a dedicated community member, a devoted father and is very professional and honest. Highly recommend Todd Barrett!!!

Todd is extremely intelligent, honest, consciously patient, timely, responsible and one of the most committed fathers and husbands I have ever known. His patience is revealed in his love of fishing. He faces adversity head on and if I ever have a problem I want him in my corner. His in-depth knowledge of Japanese and English make him an invaluable asset in a dual language situation. I am fortunate to have him as my friend.

Aloha, my name is Jodell Castillo. I am blessed & humbled to have a realtor like Todd. I was in search of a home/property for a while but haven't made a quick decision. Todd was very patient ,and kept in touch with me through the months. When I was ready, I immediately reached out to him as he was the only realtor that showed me patience and also showed me his sincere professionalism. I appreciated that.When I met Todd, he made me feel comfortable, as I was going through a rough time in my life. He made it so simple for me, as I had no idea on what to do on a process on like this. He kept in touch with me, every step of the way.He held my hand from the beginning to the end of this process in purchasing my dream land in my hometown. I am forever grateful for finding a realtor like Todd. I highly recommend Todd to anyone who's interested in purchasing a home or land here in Hawaii. He truly is a God sent Angel. Mahalo Todd for making it possible for me to be able to build my dream home soon. Much Love & Aloha

I typically do not like, nor do I trust, realtors to provide me with a service that is in my best interest with achieving the best product at the best price available, since it is not in their best monetary interest to fight for a lowest possible price for the client they represent. However, having the opportunity to work with Mr. Barrett was a completely different experience. He listened to what we wanted, he knew the market and the inventory and he delivered it with the most professional experience I have ever had in working with real estate. He transparently negotiated with the seller and delivered exactly what we wanted, at a price that was right, and in a time frame that was on our schedule and in our best interest. I would definitely recommend Mr. Barrett to represent you in your real estate affairs.

Having worked with Todd directly, I can attest to his engaging personality, his attention to detail, his hustle and tenacity, and especially to his honesty and integrity. Although Todd may work with many other professionals or agents, he always works in the best interest of his clients.

I have been i have been a homeowner since 2008 on the Big Island. Todd Barrett represented my wife and me as we purchased our home. His professionalism and knowledge about the Big Island market can not be understated. I highly recommend looking into Todd and [RE]FOCUS realty for your buying and selling needs. A+
