What does the idea of representation mean to you as it relates to real estate in Hawai‘i?

For me, it’s just helping people. It’s not affordable to live in Hawai‘i. It’s challenging.  To actually own in Hawai‘i, you’ve gotta really want it. Representation is helping people achieve their lifelong goal. 

My family was born and raised in Hawai‘i. We’re native Hawaiians. To get them to the place where they bought their forever homes gave me the most joy in my job. 

What does “Hawai‘i Life” mean to you?

I really appreciate being part of a local-born company. The owner of our company knows just what it's like to be here in Hawai‘i, how to say the different neighborhood names (Hawaiian words can be challenging). At its core, our values align well. It’s all about serving people.

What is a memorable feeling of accomplishment you have from working with Hawai‘i Life?

I think for me it’s been helping my family with real estate. I've been blessed enough to have represented both my brother, his wife and their three kids and my sister, her husband and their three kids. Getting them into their homes and seeing the joy that it brings them was amazing. My family were all born and raised here so to get them to a place where they finally bought their forever homes, that really just that gave me the most joy.
