As a full time Realtor-Broker I am committed to providing great service and representation to Sellers and Buyers!
Being blessed to live in the agricultural belt of Hawai’i Island in South Kona for nearly 30 years has inspired me to expand my knowledge to be a steward of the land and malama ka ‘aina as a UH Manoa Master Gardener and an ISA Certified Arborist. I appreciate that we can grow our own food year round, which I do to an extent and I enjoy sharing what I've learned. This knowledge base and skillset contributes to how land properties and farms; both Fee Simple and Leasehold have become one of my areas of expertise.
I spent years traveling and I have lived in many places and climates. I strongly believe that Hawai’i Island is the best place in the world to live for so many reasons. I Love this Island, the people and the culture. I am grateful and humbled to call Hawai’i home. This island offers different climates, amenities and vibes. I trust that most people can figure out which area is a good fit for them. This may be dictated by distance to work, weather, property values or lifestyle amenities. I can assist you with determining where on Hawai’i Island best suits you.
When I'm not working, you'll find me singing, in the garden, cooking, playing with my 2 rescue dogs, working on home projects, at the beach and frequenting Farmer's Markets. I believe in eating local and supporting local businesses.
My clients know me to be extremely dedicated; listening to their needs and responding quickly to requests. I take pride in what I do and how I do it; with honesty, integrity and professional competence.
I am an enthusiastic Realtor! It is my passion to help people make their dreams come true; whether it's finding their home in Hawai’i or transitioning off the island.
Reach out. I'm always excited to talk about real estate!

My wife and I learned of Tanya Sunshine by way of an excellent recommendation from another buyer. One of her recent clients we met by chance. A family just like ours looking for the same type of property and way of life. They gave a glowing review and shared that Tanya's extra efforts helped overcome a few challenges with their buying experience. After a phone interview and learning more, we decided that Tanya was a great fit for us given her many 'other' skills and interests outside of real estate, in addition to her depth of knowledge and experience in the market we are searching. What has impressed me most is the back ground of info she brings knowing the history of many properties and the people that owned them prior to the current sellers. This went above and beyond what we had hoped for in a buyers agent. To top it all off, Tanya is very personable and fun. This makes an exhaustive day of property searching much more enjoyable. Give Tanya a chance to help you find your spot in Hawaii or sell the one you already love.
Tanya has been our realtor for multiple transaction, buying and selling. We call her our “Lucky Charm”! She has consistently brought good, solid offers which have gone through seamlessly. As a home owner and and investor we have been extremely happy with her professionalism and integrity. We wholeheartedly recommend her for all your real estate needs.
