Gretchen Burgess

Agent
GREEN
License Number: RS-86621
Aloha! I’m Gretchen Burgess, your trusted real estate professional. I began my real estate career in 2000, working in the picturesque coastal town of Laguna Beach, California, and have since transitioned here, to the stunning Big Island of Hawaii.
 
Beyond my years of experience, I’m married to a seasoned general contractor who has called Kona home for 35 years. This dynamic partnership allows me to offer a comprehensive perspective on properties that extend beyond the sale. We understand not just the aesthetics but also the structural and renovation potential of homes, ensuring you make the best investment.
 
I come from a family deeply rooted in the real estate industry. My grandfather, father, sister, and cousin were and are very successful realtors/brokers, specializing in both commercial and residential properties. This heritage has given me a profound understanding of the real estate world from multiple angles, ensuring my clients receive a well-rounded and comprehensive service.
 
When I am not helping clients buy or sell their homes or enjoying outdoor activities, I am passionately dedicated to giving back to the community. I volunteer as a certified Rock Steady Boxing instructor, helping individuals with Parkinson’s disease lead healthier, more active lives.  This work is incredibly fulfilling and allows me to make a positive impact beyond real estate.
 
I specialize in properties from Kona to Waimea and everything in between, covering the full spectrum of real estate opportunities on the Big Island. Whether you are seeking a coastal haven in Kona, a serene escape in Waimea, or an oceanfront oasis in Puako, I have the local knowledge and expertise to guide you through the real estate journey.
 
Let’s make your real estate dreams a reality! Mahalo

Moku-wai Busch recommends Gretchen Burgess

It is with great pleasure and genuine enthusiasm that I recommend Gretchen Burgess as a real estate agent. My recent experience buying a home with Gretchen was nothing short of exceptional, and her unique combination of energy, professionalism, and fun made a typically stressful process smooth and easy.
From the very beginning, Gretchen's high energy was contagious. Her positive outlook and passion for her work made every house tour and meeting feel like an adventure. She was dedicated to making the journey enjoyable, and her fun and exciting personality created a truly memorable experience.
Beyond her engaging personality, Gretchen is an absolute professional. She was always punctual for our appointments, and her efficiency in handling paperwork and communication was outstanding. We were consistently impressed with her quick responses and ability to keep the entire process running smoothly. She never missed a beat, ensuring that every detail was taken care of in a timely manner.
What truly sets Gretchen apart is her dedication to her clients. She goes above and beyond to make sure you are not just a client, but a priority. For example, when I was too busy working to chase down all the things that I needed to do, she was willing to field calls, write emails, get quotes, and more, that I could then sort through later after working hours. This kind of personalized service shows her genuine care and commitment.
If you are looking for a real estate agent who will not only expertly guide you through the process but also make it an exciting and fun journey, then Gretchen Burgess is the perfect choice. Her energy, punctuality, and overall amazing attitude are a rare and valuable combination. I recommend her without reservation and would enthusiastically choose to work with her again in the future.
Best of luck finding your new home,
Moku
