Aloha!
Thank you for your interest in getting to know me a little better.

My husband, young son and I made the move to Hawaii in 1999 to enjoy the wonderful island lifestyle, wide variety of outdoor activities, numerous water sports and the Aloha spirit of the Hawaiian Islands. We now proudly share with others our enthusiasm for Kauai, the most special of all places and feel extremely blessed to live on this beautiful Garden Isle.
I'm passionate about and thoroughly enjoy working in real estate, meeting new people and helping them buy or sell properties in paradise. I thrive in the fast pace of real estate and am driven by quality service, positive results and satisfied clients. I believe my successes come from my enthusiasm, endless amount of energy and my tenacity. I utilize a number of skills from my entrepreneurial business background that are particularly helpful to my real estate clients. For example, I recognize the importance of identifying their needs and objectives and creating solutions that not only meet, but exceed their expectations. My commitment to my clients includes a long-term dedicated effort to help them meet their real estate goals for a lifetime. Among my peers, I have a reputation of honesty, integrity and an ongoing desire to work together in a professional manner to achieve the best results possible for our clients. I specialize in residential real estate throughout Kauai, specifically, fine homes & luxury estates, resort & second-home properties, land parcels & vacation rental properties.

Rankings & Production:
Selling over 50 million within my first 30 months, Hawaii Business Magazine honored me in 2007 as part of Who's Who in Hawaii Real Estate, naming me a Top 100 Realtor In Hawaii for 2007. I'm honored to make their list again in 2008, and also to be named a Top 5 Residential Realtor on Kauai. I've been RE/MAX's leading agent in the State of Hawaii since 2006.

Results & Peformance:
I believe clients should have the option to choose their Realtor based on a track record of performance & results, so I've listed my YTD 2008 production along with last year's transactions. To view, simly click on Sellers or Buyers.

Background:
A Southern California native, I grew up in Torrance and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree (concentration in Marketing) from California State University, Long Beach. Success came to me early in my career as an entrepreneur, when at the age of 17, I founded and grew a sportswear manufacturing and retail operation into an INC. 500 company. I was also honored to received the U.S. Small Business Administration's Young Entrepreneur of The Year Award, along with being ranked the 51st Largest Women-Owned Business in Los Angeles and LA County by the Los Angeles Business Journal.

Now my business experience, marketing expertise and negotiating skills are brought to bear assisting my clients to achieve their goals and dreams with their varied real estate needs.

Actually, what my clients say about me is more important than anything more I can tell you; read what they say by clicking on testimonials - found above. I have an extensive list of clients who have graciously agreed to be contacted for a reference on my past performance - available upon request.

Thank you for your visit today!
I look forward to speaking with you and learning how I can assist you with your Kauai real estate needs. Contact me anytime. If you are on-island, stop by my Kalaheo office to say hello and enjoy a free cup of Kauai coffee, cookies or chocolates on me.

Mahalo!
