Liah Gingerich

REALTOR SALESPERSON, SRES

Born in Honolulu and raised in Hawaii Kai, Liah has an in-depth knowledge, understanding and appreciation for O'ahu, its culture and neighborhoods. Liah spent her upbringing dancing with Halau Hula ‘O Namakahulali for many years, outrigger canoe paddling throughout high school at Magic Island on Saturdays and playing lacrosse at Kapiolani Park on Sundays. Liah is an alumni of the Honolulu Waldorf School, which she attended Pre-K through High School. She still holds strong ties to the local and international Waldorf community.

Liah graduated from Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington cum laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and a minor in Environmental Science. All of this while playing women’s varsity lacrosse in the icy cold winter and spring of northeast Washington State.

After graduating from college, she moved to Portland, Oregon where her family relocated and started a real estate investing and home-remodeling company with her mom. After fully renovating and selling several 100+ year old Portland homes in a year and a half, Liah quickly grew an in-depth understanding of home construction, the material supply chain, remodeling, refurbishing, design and architecture. Buying, remodeling and selling several properties before the age of 24, made getting her real estate license a natural next step.

Liah’s drive and passion for real estate has brought her back to the islands where she has partnered with long-time family friend Julianna Garris. Liah’s organized and thoughtful nature, along with her experience in home remodeling and her partnership with Julianna Garris makes her an excellent person to have in your corner.

When Liah’s schedule permits, she enjoys hiking, the ocean, skiing, traveling, taking Japanese language classes, playing on the Wahine Lacrosse team and spending time with family and friends.

Aloha,
Liah

What my clients are saying...

Julianna and Liah were absolutely fantastic. They were professional, kind, easy to work with, and went above and beyond to ensure our transaction went smoothly. Not only did everything go smoothly, but we also sold over asking! The sale of our townhouse occurred while we were moving back to the continent, and Julianna and Liah took away so much stress from this hectic time as we knew our home was in excellent hands. We wish we could continue to work with them now that we are back on the continent! We are so grateful for their hard work and dedication to our home. We can't believe how smoothly it all went.

Working with Liah was a game changing decision for me in the Hawaii home buying process! Her knowledge of the island and Hawaii real estate market was invaluable. I credit the success of this purchase completely to her. Her incredible work ethic and task organization skills made this arduous process a breeze for me. I’m a second time homebuyer and I can say without a doubt Liah is the best realtor I could have ever asked for. This was a complicated VA Loan Assumption which involved two HELOCs to cover the loan gap. Without Liah’s expertise and persistence, I’m not sure it would have been possible.

My circumstances were not ideal, as I was overseas throughout most of the buying process, but Liah truly went above and beyond despite the circumstances to make it happen. She helped find me an outstanding broker, researched and became an expert on the VA Loan Assumption process, helped facilitate my Power of Attorney, and ensured everyone was tied in on the communication process so all necessary parties were informed every step of the way.

I am immensely grateful to Liah for making Hawaii home ownership a possibility for me. This home purchase was a complicated one and Liah tackled everything that came up with efficiency and ease. She truly went above and beyond. She is an impressive realtor and I have already recommended her to friends and family looking to buy on Oahu. I would love to work with her again in the future!! Mahalo, Liah!
