The Hawaiʻi Team, led by Dan Polimino, is a boutique real estate advisory specializing in luxury and world-class properties along the West Side of Hawaiʻi Island. Every listing is approached with disciplined strategy, concierge-level service, and bespoke marketing designed to protect value and maximize results—not simply achieve a sale. With 19 years of experience and more than 1,300 completed transactions across multiple luxury markets, Dan brings institutional-level expertise to each client relationship. His approach is precise, data-driven, and deliberately selective—built for sellers who expect discretion, accountability, and measurable performance. In 2025, The Hawaiʻi Team delivered clear market outperformance. While the broader market averaged a 93% list-to-sale price ratio, our sellers achieved 98%, securing 5% more value at closing. Over the past five years, we have successfully sold $140 million in real estate along the Kona Coast through a proven selling system that performs in both strong and shifting markets

Clients benefit from both global buyer reach and deep local market intelligence, allowing each property to be positioned strategically, marketed precisely, and negotiated from a position of strength.

✨ BIG ISLAND LIVING STARTS WITH HAVING THE SPACE TO LIVE IT. 🌺

This Holualoa estate is one of those properties that’s hard to fully appreciate in just one photo.

With 2.69 acres, beautiful ocean views, a detached guest house, mature fruit trees, and plenty of room to make the property your own, there’s a lot here to take in. 🌴🏡

I put together this carousel to show you some of the details that make this home special.

👉 Swipe through and take a look. You might find yourself imagining what you’d do with all that space.

📍 74-4994 Mamalahoa Highway, Holualoa, HI 96725

Selling a property from miles away can feel stressful. You’re trusting someone on the island to handle the details, communicate clearly, and keep things moving.

That’s exactly what we want our clients to feel: taken care of, even from a distance. 🤙🌺

Erin, mahalo for trusting The Hawaii Team and sharing your experience. It means a lot to us! ❤️

Have you ever wondered what selling a Hawaiʻi property from off-island is really like? We’re here to make it easier. 🏡🌴

🏡 Single-family home or raw land — which one would you choose?

That’s the question Dan tackles in this week’s .

When it comes to investing in Hawaiʻi, there’s more to consider than just the property itself. Building on raw land can come with its own challenges, while an existing home can offer a very different investment opportunity.

But which one would Dan choose? 👀

Watch the reel to hear his take — and why.

I’m not here to convince you to buy or sell. I’m here to help you make the right decision for you.

Sometimes that means moving forward. Sometimes it means waiting. And sometimes, after looking at all the options, the best move is something completely different.

That’s how I approach real estate. I want my clients to feel informed, comfortable, and confident about what they’re doing—not pressured into a decision.

At the end of the day, it’s your home, your investment, and your future. I’m here to help you navigate it and look out for your best interest along the way. 🌺🤙

🌺 Hauʻoli Aloha Pōʻahā!
Thinking about buying a home in Hawaiʻi but wondering if you need a huge down payment to get started? 🏡

You may have more options than you think.

In today’s Reel, we’re breaking down how to buy a home in Hawaiʻi without being “rich” and highlighting loan programs that may help make homeownership more attainable, including:

🪖 VA Loans — Qualified veterans and active-duty military may be eligible for 0% down.

🌿 USDA Loans — Certain eligible rural areas may qualify for 0% down financing.

🏡 FHA Loans — Qualified buyers may be able to purchase with as little as 3.5% down.

There’s more to buying a home in Hawaiʻi than a 20% down payment. The right loan program depends on your individual situation, so it’s worth exploring your options.

👉 Send us a message—we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
