I was born and raised in Maine, where I spent the first half of my life appreciating the change of seasons and the gorgeous rocky East Coast. Somewhere along the way, the winters became less about enjoyment and more about surviving. I came to the Big Island of Hawai’i in 2005 with my husband and our daughter to celebrate ten years of marriage and renew our wedding vows, and that was all it took. I knew I was home. Nine months later, we packed up our house and here we are.
In 2007, my husband and I started our own property maintenance company and in 2010 I decided to accomplish a life long goal and become licensed as a Realtor. It is such a joy to be able to hand over the keys to a client and see the look on their face when reality sets in. Helping people make their dreams become a reality is one of the most rewarding things I have experienced. When I am not working I am tending to one of the many rescue animals that have found a forever home with us.

Testimonials
I have bought and sold 5 homes in my life including this last one in Hawaii. Linda was by far the best realtor that I've ever used. Her attention to detail, accessibility and knowledge were second to none. She knew the local market and her advice resulted in my home selling above asking price in one day! In addition, she helped me with numerous issues that no realtor has ever done. Whether it was help with moving, cleaning or home repairs, Linda had me covered. Make your life much easier and use Linda.

Linda is by far the best agent we've worked with! She was our buying agent when we purchased a home on the Big Island and was more recently our selling agent for the same property. She goes above and beyond- even picked and up dropped off my husband from the airport when he flew in to finalize packing and shipping our belongings to the mainland. Not to mention coordinated repairs and cleaning of the property to get ready for closing! Extremely professional and responsive. Made selling our Hawaii home easy while based in the mainland. Highly recommend!!!

We live on the mainland and were causally looking to buy our vacation island home in Hawaii, we reached out to Linda via Zillow, we did not know her or had any references or history..
But having gone through the process, we cannot say enough how lucky we were to get acquainted with Linda, she was just such a wonderful pleasure to work with as we went through the process. Being on the mainland its not always possible to be on-site, she took ownership and responsibility for number of tasks that typically would be ours to do.. by the end of the process I believe we have gained a life-long friend on the island.
We would unequivocally recommend Linda as a trusted partner for any of the real estate needs on the Big Island.

Linda with Hawaii Life was an excellent resource when we were purchasing our condo in Mauna Lani in 2021. We started our search thinking we wanted to purchase land, sit on it for a few years and build. Through Linda's guidance, we were shown a few condo properties which quickly showed us that it would be better to purchase something "move in ready" now versus waiting a few years to build. We were homebuyers during the height of the home buying craziness and I lost count of all the condos we put offers in on and were out bid time and time again. Through it all she remained patient, calm and assured us that "the right one is out there".
When the right one came along, she was our biggest ally in working with the seller to close the deal. The closing process was surprisingly simple (despite us being 5,000 miles away) but Linda was there every step of the way to answer questions or give us a contact for a problem we needed to solve. We cannot imagine a better real estate partner than Linda!

Linda is incredible! She's an extremely knowledgeable real estate expert, a skilled negotiator, and most importantly, she cares deeply about her clients (and their pets!). We recently relocated from NJ to HI. While searching for dog-friendly accommodations on the Big Island, we came across Linda's website: hawaiipetfriendlyrealtor…. We immediately contacted Linda to introduce ourselves, and a couple of months later when we landed on the island, the first thing Linda wanted to do was meet our dog, Dexter! Linda showed us a variety of properties including pet-friendly condos and single-family homes, all in varying price points. There was never any pressure from Linda which took a lot of stress out of the home buying process. When we found the right home, Linda worked tirelessly to get the offer accepted, and get us to closing in about 30 days! And when the front door locks broke on the house and we couldn't get in, Linda and her husband came to our rescue at night! We feel very fortunate to now call Linda a friend, and Dexter is super happy exploring his new tropical back yard.

We have had the pleasure of working with Linda twice now on purchases of property in Kailua Kona. One of the best realtors on Hawai'i Island. Would not hesitate again to use her services. She's proactive, thorough, answers email and texts on weekends, and help us make these properties home.

Linda is absolutely amazing. We described our dream to her when we were downsizing from our three bedroom home to a condominium. We needed to move from Naalehu to be closer to health care and we had very specific needs with monetary constraints so the new home could serve us comfortably into our retirement. Linda was able to come up with a good number of properties meeting our needs. Not only that she was able to answer all our questions about each community they were in, which is very important on the Big Island. She knows where to buy the best of coffee, the best pizza, most scrumptious maladadas, coldest beer, live music or minimart in every community. We searched Kohala, Waimea, Kona, Kealakekua, and Captain Cook. She only showed us places that our pet was allowed. And she is fun. We had such a blast looking for places we were almost sad signing at closing. And she keeps in touch because we are friends now. We are very happy where we are but if anything changes and we decide to move our first call will be to Linda Hussey!

She epitomizes the compassion, intuition, personableness, deep knowledge and overall hustle that it takes to get things done. She manifests heartfelt kuleana pono in everything she does....but most of all she brings her bright sparkly mana and huge aloha energy! In Linda we found a home and a true friend. She embodies ho'ohana and our hearts will always be brimming with mahalo for the joy she brought to our journey. Some realtors show houses, and some change lives. Linda is definitely in the forever life-changing, amazing emissary of transformation and hau'oli hale!
