Welcome Faith Kraus to Team Nakanishi

Faith’s real estate journey literally began at birth. As a third generation real estate agent her real estate perspective is uniquely intertwined with her deep-rooted connections to the community and culture of Hawai’i. Born and raised on Hawai‘i Island, Faith attended ‘Aha Pu ̄ nana Leo o Hilo, and graduated with honors from Ke Kula ‘O Na ̄wahı ̄okalani‘o ̄ pu‘u Iki Lab PCS so she speaks fluent Hawaiian. It’s a perspective nurtured by local traditions that has given Faith deep respect for the ‘aina (land), ensuring the love for the land will forever extend beyond real estate transactions. In fact, she loves getting her hands dirty in the garden and transforming the garden bounty into great cuisine.

 

Of course, growing up, she spent lots of time in the kitchen with Grandpa Miles and Mama Mealoha. She also tagged along with Mealoha, Grandy (yours truly) and Aunty Nui on real estate showings her entire life. She loves to travel and has spent time in diverse places such as Brazil, Mexico, Washington, California, Chicago, Florida and New York so she brings a broad perspective and adaptability to meet the varied needs of clients. Faith looks forward to helping families find their piece of paradise within the framework of understanding our island values.

Following our family in this tradition, I whole-heartedly welcome Faith as the newest member of Team Nakanishi. Her personal attributes of patience and responsibility can be counted on to guide you through your real estate journey with professionalism, integrity, and a personal touch that’s as unique as Hawai‘i
itself. Welcome, my sweet Baby Doll!
