My Love of Hawaii
Little did I know that Hawaii was my destiny, beginning with a family reunion at the tender age of ten. The islands quickly became my sanctuary, with their perfect weather, pristine beaches, vibrant outdoor lifestyle, and the infectious joy of its residents. As fate would have it, my connection to Hawaii deepened through my family and my husband, a native islander. Each year, my love for Hawaii grows, and so does my happiness living in this paradise.

What my clients are saying...
We spent time with Leeana in February/March this year. She was wonderful!
We found her to be professional, warm, knowledgeable, and great to be around. We visited many condos right before COVID 19 and decided to wait on buying. We would not consider working with anyone else and hope to buy in the future.
It turns out the third time was the charm for us. Leeana Runningbear is an outstanding real estate agent. The first agent was a bit bossy and diva-ish - and why would anyone put up with that? The second agent was almost shockingly sub par - not willing to do their research to provide us the info we needed as buyers to make a sound decision.
Leeana Runningbear is outstanding (truly worth repeating). She is professional, shares aloha, ALWAYS came ready with very helpful packets of information on the houses/condos/condotels we asked to see, communicates (!!), responds to texts and voice mails (!!!), is ON TIME and spent serious time with us to strategize our offers!
If you want someone who is professional, friendly, KNOWLEDGEABLE about Big Island, and fully committed to her craft: call this beautiful woman. You’re welcome.
