Talk Story with an Advertiser: Kimberly A. K. Parks

Kimberly A. K. Parks provides real estate services with aloha, everywhere on Hawai‘i Island. Kim originally started in escrow. She shared with us, “I enjoyed this field of the work—it intrigued me, and after nine years in escrow services, I decided to get my real estate license.” She worked for two local companies for a total of 12 years, then two years ago she created Parks Realty, LLC.

When asked why she chose the location for Parks Realty, LLC, Kim said, “The reason my office is located in downtown Hilo is because when I decided to open up my own company, I wanted to stay located near businesses in Hilo that I work with on a daily basis, and to accommodate my clients. I was fortunate that an office space became available. I’m very happy here—it is centrally located.”

Kim was born in Pennsylvania, into a military family that traveled all over the world. Her mother is from Hawai‘i Island and her father from Illinois. When Kim’s father retired from the military, the family moved to Hawai‘i Island, residing in Kaimu with her grandparents for a short time. Kim then relocated to Mountain View, where she resides today, and graduated from Waiakea High School.

What makes Kim’s real estate business unique is that she’s always available for her clients when they need anything, and she always remembers the relationship does not end at the closing of escrow.

Kim is grateful for having the support of her husband throughout creating Parks Realty, and for her entire career. They have two children who have been supportive throughout the development of her business, as well. Kim shared, “These kids have been through it all, traveling all over the island since they were young and they are grown up now!”

As Kim looks to the future, she says, “I’ll still continue to work in this business and help clients. My most frequent customers are buyers looking to pursue their first or second home, and investors looking for investment properties.” Kim’s “aloha spirit,” and her professionalism and service to her clients are exceptional. As a top-producing agent, Kim has become very skillful at balancing working with her clients, listing and showing properties, and spending quality time with her family. She looks forward to assisting you with your real estate needs.
