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.

What my clients are saying...
Leeana’s organization and communication combined with her work ethic and attention to details place her in the top tier among real estate professionals in Hawaii.
It is easy to see why so many of her reviews express how Leeana becomes a friend by the end of the transaction.
What truly blew my mind is how I felt like I had her undivided attention during our months of working together, but knowing that she had multiple other transactions happening simultaneously.
Leeana is a terrific realtor! Professional, knowledgeable, very hard-working, and she has the patience of a saint. We were fortunate to meet her at an open house showing and immediately knew she was who we wanted to work with. She established a portal specifically for our needs that was always up-to-date and easy for us to access from the mainland.
Her response time is the best, and she is willing to go and look/video properties you are interested in. She dealt with us for months and was always positive during our ups and downs about buying in Hawaii. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to buy or sell on Hawaii!
