Get Object Returns Realm Object Instead of Class Instance

I have a model like this, to be able to store details field as JSON

class Person  {
  set details(data) { this._details = data ? JSON.stringify(data) : null; }
  get details() { return this._details ? JSON.parse(this._details) : null; }
}

Person.schema = {
  name: 'Person',
  primaryKey: 'id',
  properties: {
    id: 'string',
    name: 'string',
    _details: { type: 'string', optional: true }
  }
};

Now when I do

realm.write(() => {
  // this is a write block for some other objects, but at some point I need to find a person
  let person = realm.objectForPrimaryKey('Person', id);
  console.log(person);
});

It will log out an instance of RealmObject with getters and setters for _details but nothing for details, so its not an instance of Person, am I missing something here?

I made that working by doing something like

export default class RealmModel {
  static types = {
    bool: true,
    string: true,
    int: true,
    boolean: true,
    float: true,
    double: true,
    date: true
  }

  toString() {
    return JSON.stringify(this.toJSON());
  }

  toJSON() {
    let schema = this.constructor.schema.properties;
    let json = {};
    for (var varId in schema) {
      if (schema.hasOwnProperty(varId)) {
        let type = null;
        if(schema[varId] instanceof Object){
          type = schema[varId]['type'];
        } else {
          type = schema[varId];
        }

        if(RealmModel.types[type]) {
          json[varId] = this[varId];
        } else if(type === 'list') {
          let obj = this[varId];
          json[varId] = [];
          for(let i = 0; i < obj.length; i++){
            json[varId].push(obj[i].toJSON());
          }
        } else {
          json[varId] = this[varId].toJSON();
        }
      }
    }
    return json;
  }
}

And then in the class definition

import RealmModel from './RealmModel';
class EventType extends RealmModel {

}

EventType.schema = {
  name: 'EventType',
  primaryKey: 'id',
  properties: {
    id: 'string',
    name: 'string',
    description: {type: 'string', optional: true},
    eventCategories: {type: 'list', objectType: 'EventCategory', default: []}
  }
};

export default EventType;

I just use eventType.toJSON() and I get

{ id: '1',
      name: 'Visita',
      description: 'Visitas a la obra',
      eventCategories: 
       [ { id: '1', name: 'Tecnicas', description: 'Visitas tecnicas' },
         { id: '2', name: 'Filial', description: 'Visitas familiares' } ] }
