Dustin was blessed to move to the Big Island at the age of twelve from the heart of the Redwoods in Northern California through a turn of unique, albeit fortunate events (ask him about it, it's a colorful story). In his nearly thirty years living in Kona he has forged a strong connection to his island home, and to his roots on the North Coast. Dustin has spent more than 20 years working in sales & luxury hospitality along the Kona/Kohala resort coast and for the past eight years has worked at Nanea Golf Club serving in several roles including Wine Director, curating a world class wine program.
His longstanding connection to the community here on the Big Island makes him a valuable resource for his clients. His extensive knowledge of Hawai'i Island and the nuances of the micro-communities are invaluable when it comes to assisting his clients through the buying and selling process. Dustin is a natural born communicator and embarked on a career in real estate because he loves working with people and because he prides himself on providing top tier professional service with a personal touch. From assisting first time home buyers to selling luxury properties, Dustin moves with the ease and grace of an agent comfortable in any sphere.
Dustin is blessed with a fiance named Katelyn and an amazing Mexican Bulldog named Dexter. As a surfer, golfer, massage therapist, yoga instructor, and occasional triathlete, Dustin lives an active lifestyle, and is always striving to learn and grow. He truly loves his family, Hawaii and the Aloha Spirit and feels blessed every day to call this magical place his home.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"I had a very positive experience working with Dustin during the purchase of our home. He was a calm and confident presence through tough situations encountered along the way. This allowed me to stay focused and positive. I would recommend Dustin to anyone looking to buy or sell a home." - Melissa Adams
"We were referred to Dustin through a friend of a friend. We had been working with another realtor who overall was not listening to what we were looking for. Nor were they providing the knowledge and expertise that we found with Dustin. We immediately found Dustin to not only listen to what we were looking for, but found us an excellent home within a few weeks. It was within our budget, within our preferred area and overall had a great working relationship and enjoyed his sense of humor. We found him very easy to work with and would definitely work with him in the future." - S. Andrews
"Dustin Marin has been great to work with. I was a first time buyer and he really helped me navigate the process. He was very knowledgeable and if he didn't know an answer he would find it for me. I felt confident that he was on top of things throughout the process. I highly recommend working with him. Thank you for everything!" - Stephanie
