After founding and operating his own Century 21 Ken Kjer Realty brokerage in Lake Tahoe, Nevada for 30 years, Ken felt that the time was right to move to a warmer climate. His children had grown, and he yearned for the Hawaiian lifestyle. He took the leap in 1994 and became the Principal Broker for Maryl Realty, a division of Maryl Group, until 1999 when he joined Clark Realty as the Broker in Charge for the Keauhou office. In 2007, Ken founded Kona Home & Land Realty.
​
Ken’s decades of dedicated service to his clients have given him great insight into all facets of real estate sales and development that he enjoys sharing with his valuable clients and customers. As a member and Past President of the Hawaii Island Board of Realtors® (HIBR), and understanding of the focused market in residential estate properties, coffee farms and South Kona ranch estates, Ken is the man who can make it happen with both perspective and ethics. He can truly attest to the “living in paradise” motto, and would like to help you with your piece of paradise, as well.

John R. Clay, Realtor Salesperson

John Clay is passionate about helping people find the right place to live their lives. He believes it is important to choose an environment that resonates with each client’s individual lifestyle.

Relationship is very important to him, and he prides himself on listening careful to what his clients say.

Born in Florida, John worked for large corporations, traveling extensively for both work and pleasure but realized he missed having a personal touch with his customers.

Seventeen years ago, he settled permanently on the Big Island of Hawaii, one of the most beautiful places he had experienced. He now lives in the small community of Kamuela with his wife, Karyn, and
daughter, Charly, and has created the life he wishes for all his clients, one of fulfillment in the place he calls home.

“The people here are incredible, and I love the slower pace of island life,” says John.

His professional attitude and quick wit help smooth any challenges that come along during the property-buying process. “Keeping things in perspective is part of my job,” observes John. “My reward is always
finding the right place for the right people. That keeps me going.”

Starr Todd, Realtor Salesperson

Starr Todd is an Island girl at heart. She grew up in Hawaii, and
her enthusiasm for living in the islands is matched only by her passion for real estate. “I’ve visited over half of America’s 50 states,” Starr says, “and I still believe that Hawaii is the best place to live.”

Her years in the islands have given her a unique perspective when it comes to analyzing property. In many ways, that is a direct result of working with her husband in their construction company. “We have been involved in land acquisition and home-building for almost 30 years,” Starr says,” and, as a Realtor, I am able to draw on my varied experience to help others find the perfect property for their needs.”
