As long as Kelly is in the real estate business she will always be my first choice to represent me. She’s efficient, knowledgeable, works very hard for you , always available and easy to work with. She has helped me in two successful transactions. Cannot thank her enough."                                                - Irving K. via Zillow,Jan. 2026

"Kelly was exceptional in the sale of our home. We had a strict deadline to meet with many moving parts to get our home ready for market. Farming, landscaping, painting, roofing, inspections, furniture, and much more. Kelly had a team of people working day and night to meet our deadline. Due to the significant time change, Kelly was available day and night to assist and service all our last-minute needs. I would recommend Kelly if you were looking for someone who has deep roots to the Big Island and works on your behalf. Thank you Kelly."                                                              - Jason W. via Zillow, Jan. 2026

"A true professional in the business. We has an excellent experience working with Kelly and her team. From start to finish, she was very professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. Kelly took the time to understand our need, explained every step of the process clearly, and always made us feel confident in our decisions. Kelly and her team’s attention to detail, strong negotiation skills, and dedication truly sets them apart. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would HIGHLY recommend Kelly Shaw to anyone looking to sell or buy a home."      - Clinton N. via Google reviews, Jan. 2026

"Kelly Shaw is very professional and a great communicator. Kelly is kind ,truthful and stays on task.She definitely knows her job.
Kelly took time with me to explain what needed to be done to sell my property and WHY those things needed to be done
Kelly gave me timelines, but continue to not rush me through the process making sure I was involved in all major decisions.
To know Kelly is to love her. She is lovely inside and out! Kelly doesn’t let anything hold her back and she Is just amazing! Our five acre Hawaii property was a major task and Kelly got the job done…. What a relief! I believe wholeheartedly that no matter what size the property you have to sell, Kelly can and will complete the task to the best of her ability
With love and appreciation,                          -

About Kelly
Buying and selling real estate isn’t about the physical property; it’s about creating the life you want. Whether you’re finding your first home, selling the house your family’s outgrown, or looking for the perfect place to retire, realizing the life you imagine is the aim, and Kelly knows how to guide you there smoothly.

You will never be a stat in the database or a commission in Kelly's pocket, but a valued member of her community that she is committed to seeing thrive and grow.

Kelly, as a local Hawaii (Big) Island RealtorĀ® since 2004, has her fingers on the pulse of the Kona community and her attention on the needs of her clients. Mentored by real estate powerhouses of the east coast and guided by a deep love for Hawaii, her approach to real estate is a beautiful blend of energy, dedication, knowledge, and respect.

Whether you’ve bought a hundred houses or have never signed a contract, Kelly is there to be the beacon that sees you through the process. With master market knowledge, uncanny listening skills, and an honest devotion to real estate, she has helped countless people transition to the next step in their lives.

Passion permeates Kelly's real estate practice, but ultimately it’s about you, your needs, your dreams, your desires, and she is grateful to be a vehicle to help you achieve them.

Kelly invests countless hours in continuing education and attends several off-island classes and conferences each year.

When not working, Kelly is usually volunteering for important community causes, or enjoying the beautiful island's beaches and hiking trails.
