How We Delivered the Highest Price Per Square Foot in Iolani | Big Island Real Estate

Case Study: Panorama

A Record Sale with Vision, Strategy, and Precision at 76-881 N. Pueo Place

Just Sold | Iolani | $3.1M — Highest Price-Per-Square-Foot Ever in the Community

VISION

Maximize value and maintain control for a modern ocean-view home during a shifting market.

When the owners of “Panorama,” a 2018-built contemporary home with sweeping coastline views, reached out to us, they had a clear goal: achieve a top-dollar sale- without sacrificing their time, privacy, or peace of mind.

The property had exceptional potential. With newer construction, architectural distinction, and panoramic ocean-view, it stood out from anything else in the subdivsiion. The goal was clear: bring a strategic, premium result to life.

CHALLENGES

Real-life complexity meant a cookie cutter listing approach wouldn’t work.

As compelling as the home was, the timing wasn’t simple. The sellers were:

  • Managing a major warranty repair that had to be completed before going to market

  • Living full time, unpredictable busy work schedule,  and a busy family schedule with young children

We knew that trying to force usual timeline would compromise the result. Also the market condition was unstable due to the tariff announcement.

This was a moment that required calm, creative, and custom strategy.

STRATEGY

Leverage timing, privacy, and pricing expertise to create an off-market runway-on the seller’s terms.

While other agents approached the property conservatively, we saw the opportunity to lead. Our team confidently recommended the highest pricing strategy among those interviewed,  backed by in-depth local data, value analysis, and buyer trend insights.

To give the sellers space and control, we launched the listing through Compass Exclusive, a private marketing channel that allowed us to:

  • Build off market momentum

  • Coordinate necessary repairs with best ROI

  • Deal with the warranty repairs

  • Preserve flexibility in timing and presentation

It was the ideal approach for their lifestyle and this home.

IMPLEMENTATION

Private exposure, detailed prep, and complete alignment with the seller’s pace.

We coordinated seamlessly with the sellers to manage disclosures, organize warranty documentation, and control the narrative leading to market. We had the perfect team.

Key implementation steps:

  • Pre-listing inspection to identify and address any flags early
  • Comprehensive disclosure and warranty documentation to ensure buyer confidence
  • Custom marketing timeline built around the sellers’ availability and repair schedule
  • Broker-to-broker engagement through Compass Hawaii and our local network to spark interest off market

The house was positioned to outperform from the very beginning.

RESULT

A record-breaking, off-market sale with minimal stress, and full seller control.

Panorama sold to an all-cash buyer after a smooth, 30-day escrow, off market. There were no renegotiations, no surprises, and no delays, despite the earlier complexities.
