About Hanalei

I was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, so I know and love this place like no other. I earned my Bachelors degree in Travel Industry Management from the University of Hawai‘i at M?noa, which gave me a solid foundation in service, business, and working with people—something that naturally led me into real estate. With 5 years of experience as a licensed realtor, I’ve had the honor of ranking in the top 4?2% in sales at Coldwell Banker for the past 4 years. This success comes from my commitment to helping clients navigate the real estate market and achieve their goals. I truly believe that real estate is one of the best ways to build lasting wealth, and I’m here to guide my clients toward making smart, long-term investments. I specialize in working with first-time homebuyers and have had the privilege of helping many local families navigate the buying process in Hawai’i. My clients often describe me as approachable, relatable, and trustworthy, with a deep understanding of both the buying and selling process. In addition to residential real estate, I have experience managing single-family construction projects, including ground-up builds and fix-and-flips. This hands-on experience allows me to work seamlessly with investors, guiding them from land purchase, through building and development, all the way to successfully selling their newly built homes. I take pride in staging my own listings because it helps buyers fully appreciate a home’s potential. I also believe high-quality photography and videography are essential for showcasing a property at its best, which is why I include these services with every listing—at no additional cost. In today’s market, a strong online presence is crucial. With social media and digital platforms driving much of the home search process, I ensure every listing stands out and makes a memorable first impression from the moment it's seen.
