"Moving to Hawaii during the pandemic was quite the challenge! I had three pets set up to be flown over on the same day as my flight, but my covid test wasn’t going to be ready on time for me to pick them up from the cargo plane terminal. Without the test results I had to quarantine immediately after leaving the airport. I was was panicking! I posted about it on Facebook, and Tammy private messaged me that she and Dave would meet me there, and receive my pets for me. They also dropped off a car for me to use. This way I could meet them in the cargo plane parking lot, and get my pets without any human contact. I am forever grateful for Tammy and Dave saving me and my babies. They are such caring people with a ton of integrity. I can’t recommend them highly enough!"

When most in need, Tammy and Dave provided a very helpful service for us. Moving to the Big Island late last year, we needed help in retrieving our car from the port in Hilo and a place to store it until we arrived. It was a stressful time as the car arrived only a few days before we did, and there was a short timeframe in which to pick it up. Tammy and Dave to the rescue! Not only did they pick up the car and keep it safe, they filled up the tank, took the car to the airport on the day of our arrival, and when we walked out of the terminal, all we had to do was cross the street to find our vehicle waiting. It is difficult to describe just how much it meant to us, how much stress it took from the move, and how grateful we are that we were able to find this couple. Their knowledge of the Big Island and their dedication to helping others is invaluable.

We "met" Tammy online as she willingly answered my many questions about life on Hawaii Island. Her and Dave quickly became our go to on island experts while planning our move, they also have a great referral network. We were able to use their service to ship one car ahead of the move. They picked it up from Pasha and stored it at their home, then left it at the airport on our day of arrival. We are very fortunate to have found them online and very grateful to count them as friends. I highly recommend them and the services they provide.

Tammy made a really tough move just that much easier. One of my biggest worries was dog food. Tammy let me ship a 25 lb bag of dog food (which you can't find on the island) to her so my pup could have it when we got there. On top of that we shipped ourselves a couple boxes of things that we're just too much to pack for the plane but needed before all of our household goods got here. I'm so grateful for this service during a stressful move.

Moving from Hawaii to North Carolina in the middle of a pandemic is definitely not the easiest thing to do. But that's when we were needed back on the mainland so that's when we sold our house. The house was 2 doors down and across the street from Dave and Tammy and they had been our beloved and trusted neighbors for a few years. We managed to get our dog shipped and picked up by a friend. But our cat was a problem because we were not to close on our new house for a while and could not bring him immediately. Dave and Tammy jumped at the chance to help us out. They took our Julius in and cared for him as her own. Then when the time came and we had a place for him here, they got all his vet work done and shipped him over to us. It was seamless. I might add that Julius is not an easy cat. He is accustomed to being outside and lets that be known. Dave and Tammy are honest, dependable and trustworthy. I would trust them with anything. Plus, they has contacts and she knows how to get things done!

"Tammy and Dave run a first class operation. I recently had to leave the island and they helped me get both of my cars from Kona to the port at Hilo. Their cost was literally half that quoted by the car transport company I was using. When one of the boats was canceled, they kept my car on their property until the next available boat at no extra charge plus cleaned it a second time before delivery. I would recommend this service to anybody". - Via Facebook Review

"A big mahalo to Hawaii Relocation Concierge for their assistance! Tammy Pearce-Bucknell and Dave were fabulous to work with. Services included house checks, car pick up from the Port of Hilo, and car delivery to Kona airport. They proactively communicated with us, sent frequent updates with photos and/or videos, and were delightful to work with. Additionally, they provided tips and tricks along the way. We absolutely recommend Hawaii Relocation Concierge!"

"I absolutely recommend Hawaii Relocation Concierge for anybody moving to East Hawaii. My husband and I recently relocated from the mainland and needed someone to pick up our car from Pasha because it arrived before we did. Tammy and Dave picked it up and parked it the Hilo airport so that it would be ready when we arrived. This was a huge help as our plane arrived at 9:45 pm and we were exhausted. Funny story: on the way to LAX we couldn't find our car key and Tammy had already locked our other key in the car as we asked her to. We were in a panic but Tammy offered to meet AAA there to get the key out after her dinner with friends. Luckily we didn't need her to do that (we found our key as we rummaged through the carry-on bag), but I was so grateful that Tammy offered to do this for us. She had also previously offered to help us with heavy luggage if needed because my hubby was recovering from a fractured ankle. Knowing you have someone on the Island who can help you out of a sticky situation is invaluable. With Tammy and Dave you feel you have friends here even before you arrive. Mahalo!"

"Dave & Tammy were so helpful in transporting our vehicle from Hilo to Kona. The port did not notify us that our van had arrived, so we had to act quickly upon picking it up to avoid storage fees. Tammy was proactive in getting us scheduled for pick up the very next day. Dave got our vehicle and drove it over to Kona Airport (meeting point) soon after. Tammy was very responsive and communicative via phone/text with any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Hawaii Relocation Concierge for anyone needing their car driven over to the other side of the island! Dave & Tammy, thank you for the services you provide, and for simply being so warm, kind, and trustworthy from the start! 5 stars!"

“My husband and I are so thankful to have found such wonderful people to care for our feathered and furry family members when we travel. We have pigs, goats, chickens, cats and dogs so we really needed someone who was willing to spend some time feeding them all. Tammy and Dave go above and beyond and texted pictures daily so we could see that everything was going well. It really helps to put our minds at ease when off island. I highly recommend HRC!”

"Tammy and Dave Bucknell of Hawaii Relocation Concierge have provided pet sitting services for us several times and we wouldn’t ask anybody else to look after our fur babies. Not only do they take exceptional care of our pets, but they also make sure our home is safe and secure when we are away. They also provide solutions to some of our other issues – they have rented us a vehicle while ours was in the shop for repairs, they provided transportation to and from the airport, AND they were our agents for an item on Facebook Marketplace, being successful at selling it on our behalf. We highly recommend Hawaii Relocation Concierge for all your Big Island needs!!"
Deborah Black
"Having already established a relationship with Hawaii Relocation Concierge, I knew just who to call when I had a somewhat emergency where I'd be off island for almost a week. A quick message later, I knew my cats and home would be taken care of and I could concentrate on other, more important things at the time. (Also, my husband thinks they took some boxes we left out to the transfer station for us. If so, that just shows they go above and beyond for people 💙)"

"I don't know how I would have made the move without their help. Can not thank them enough! They picked up my vehicle and delivered it to the airport, did property checks, met pest control to get into home, and received moving boxes for me. Tammy and Dave were so kind and awesome to me!"
