A native of the Hawaiian Islands and a born entrepreneur. Before earning my Real Estate license in 2004, I co-founded and operated a local surf shop in 1993, which grew to 3 locations over my 16 years of ownership. The shops were an integral part of the Big Island community and for numerous years, consecutively earned the honor of "Best Surf Shop", by the local newspaper and its readers.
I attribute our retail success to our dedication of the businesses core foundations; Competence in Product Knowledge, Anticipation of Client's Needs, Sincerity in Service, Effective Communication and Active Listening. From these foundations, we built a clientele of loyal customers with both locals and visitors.
Real Estate has since become my prime focus, with the pillars that built our successful retail business, at the very forefront of my Real Estate career. In 2010, I transitioned to O'ahu when our son attended Kamehameha School's Kapalama campus, allowing me to offer my diversified knowledge of both the Big Island and O'ahu markets to my clients.
Amidst assisting my versatile clientele in achieving their Real Estate ambitions, I make the time to enjoy life; be it an ocean adventure, practicing yoga, or collaborating with my husband and son on our next project. My husband is a General Contractor and our son, a graduate of the University of Hawaii Manoa, School of Architecture. My exposure and experience in both Real Estate and Construction work hand in hand in successfully assisting my clients to THEIR goals!
Discover, Design, Build & Re-Build just a few of my passions.
