Doreen came to us through a recommendation from a well-respected Bellevue, Washington realtor. She immediately responded to our call and despite the tight housing market, presented several properties that suited us well. Her welcoming presence put our family at ease. Her professional attention to detail and her community connections smoothed the path to a quick, successful closing. We wholeheartedly recommend her services.
Doreen Trudeau is a rock star. We have been visiting the Big Island for many years and dreamed about buying a home there. She guided us to a beautiful home and we were so lucky to have her assistance. She made our purchase seamless and walked us thru every step to closing. Her professionalism and expertise are a credit to the real estate industry.
Our house went through many up and down sales cycles over an extended period of time. Doreen's patience and guidance were invaluable in so many ways. But most importantly, finding the right buyer! We will be counting on her help and knowledge to find our next home on the Big Island.
Working with Doreen was wonderful! She helped us both buy a house and sell a house in less than a year's time. With both experiences, Doreen worked hard to make sure we got the best deal and she kept us informed. She is assertive, proactive, and knowledgeable about Hawaii real estate, all while spreading the aloha. She looked out for our family's best interest and kept our goals at the forefront. Doreen is family centered, and even helped watch and play with our kids as we looked at houses together. I would recommend Doreen to anyone!
I would like to give high praise to my real estate agent, Doreen Trudeau. She was my agent on two of my properties on the Hawaii island. Prior to hiring her, I had watched how she had performed with the sale of my son-in-law’s house. I was impressed with her diligence in preparing the seller, showcasing the house, and closing the deal in such a timely and organized manner. Both the seller and the buyers were pleased. My husband and I decided on Doreen to represent us on the sale of our beach house. She was extremely proficient in helping us navigate through a very complex and difficult sale. I felt that her natural integrity was the reason I was able to get the deal closed. (My husband passed away durin…I would like to give high praise to my real estate agent, Doreen Trudeau.

I felt that her natural integrity was the reason I was able to get the deal closed. (My husband passed away during this time.) She was extremely supportive, kept me on track, and presented many options for me to think about. Once the sale was complete, I knew that I would work with her again. Shortly after I sold the beach house, I decided to sell my other home. Doreen once again represented me on the sale. I found her not only to be kind and supportive but also completely trustworthy throughout the process. The house was not even on the market and she was able to secure a qualified buyer quietly, quickly, and with discretion. I would highly recommend her as I had such a positive experience in the sale of both properties.
Doreen is a true professional and a calming, solutions-based realtor. She successfully guided my family through a complicated sale with challenging unforeseen circumstances and she got the deal done. She has a warm, kind way about her which was so appreciated as we navigated the sale of our family home in Puako. Thank you, Doreen!

You were able to vet the real estate Inventory to match our criteria, because of your wealth of experience in construction, remodeling, landscape architecture, and home design. We got a good education about North Kohala Coast real estate through our consistent communication with you We really appreciate your transparency and responsiveness during our not so easy negotiations, as well as your professional discretion regarding sellers and prior owners. You got us the price we were hoping for. As you advertise, you realized a "higher level of real estate experience" for us It has been a great help to us that you have been able to access Sotheby's network to assist us with our real estate endeavors on the mainland. For all of this, we say a very deep Mahalo. There are no surprises working with Doreen Trudeau, she is authentic, transparent, accountable, and ethical. We know because she has represented us in both purchasing and selling property. Doreen listened to us as buyers to get a clear understanding of what we needed and wanted in our Hawaiian home. With Doreen’s discernment of solid construction and architectural integrity, she was dedicated to finding us a property that met our expectations and was consistently principled in her approach with the negotiating realtor. When selling, Doreen put her business and market savvy to work to arrive at a fair market value and a pre-sale schedule for preparing the property and necessary documents/inspections. Doreen Trudeau hit the mark. Within one day of putting our house on the market, it went into contract with a full-price cash offer.
Doreen Trudeau is a consummate professional; she's a very experienced realtor, she foresees and forestalls potential issues, she has outstanding follow-through and ultimately guides her clients through the home sale and/or buying process while maintaining a calm, even-keeled, and fun personality. Doreen guided us through the listing process, from our early house/garden preparation to staging the interiors, directing the video/photoshoot, and writing and posting the MLS listing. The complete package immediately drew potential buyers and resulted in an offer four days later. We closed the sale in two months. We wholeheartedly recommend Doreen for your future real estate needs.
Doreen was so easy to work within the sale of our home. Always professional, available to answer our questions, responded on time, and was amazing at staging our property. We highly recommend her.
Doreen is a full-service realtor. She worked closely with me to determine where exactly I wanted to live and on what kind of property. Living on a different island at the time, she FaceTimed several possibilities as we zeroed in on exactly what I wanted. When that property appeared she got the jump before the listing even dropped. Thus I was first in line to view it and make a successful offer. Just as important, she oversaw every step of the escrow process and we closed without a hitch! Doreen is a delightful, caring person who puts her client’s needs first. She knows the area and market and will not steer you wrong.
We had a fantastic experience working with Doreen to sell our home in Hawaii. She is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, creative, and extremely professional, and assisted us with everything. Throughout the entire process, we really felt like we were dealing with the best of the best, and the fact that our home sold at the price we wanted in a fraction of the time that we had anticipated proved that feeling to be accurate. We can’t say enough good things about Doreen. Highly recommended.
There is an art to selling and buying fine homes. Doreen offers an authentic, transparent, and accountable approach to luxury real estate.
