I believe selling or buying property on the Hamakua Coast, or anywhere on the Big Island of Hawaii, should be an adventure filled with lots of excitement and possibilities.

As a Seller Representation Specialist (SRS), I have the skills required to market your property in ways that best represent its unique qualities, provide guidance on market supported list price options, and ultimately bring you an acceptable offer that allows you to continue on your journey!

The Big Island
Selling Experience

Selling Big Island property takes expertise in understanding the current market, our unique nine districts, almost 100 towns and hundreds of neighborhoods, evaluating each property, plus pre-sale preparation.

A skill set of thinking outside the box, providing exclusive marketing strategies, clear communication, and 24/7 availability is key to moving my clients from Just Listed to SOLD!

But, there is more…Selling your property can also be emotional! Many sellers are moving back to the mainland due to health issues, to be closer to family, downsizing, or for financial strategies. Being sensitive to these emotions is an equally important service I provide. Why? Because I have done it too!

Buying property in Hawaii is unlike anywhere else. Here, life moves at a slower pace, the land tells a story, and every property has its own unique character.

My role is to help you understand everything from on-grid vs off-grid living, to the nuances of water catchment, solar power and communication options, to agriculture, lava, flood and zoning laws, our micro climates, and much more so you can make an informed decision.

I also connect you with my trusted and extensive network of title/escrow companies, local lenders, inspectors, and a plethora of licensed and qualified contractors to help make the process seamless and stress-free.

Uncover The Possibilities Of Hawaii Living

The Big Island is full of hidden gems, and I love helping my clients uncover the possibilities. Whether you’re searching for a modern luxury home, a historic plantation estate, a self-sustaining farm, or a small or large parcel of paradise, I take the time to learn what matters most to you.

Do you envision waking up to panoramic ocean views, watching the sun rise or set from your private lanai, tending to your own orchard or small and/or large livestock? I have done it all…and I can take my knowledge and experience to help you find a property that fits like a glove.

Why the Hamakua Coast?

Why the Hamakua Coast?

There’s something undeniably special about the Hamakua Coast. It’s a place of rugged cliffs, emerald valleys, and an unspoiled stretch of coastline that offers privacy, beauty, and a deep connection to nature.

Here, you can find:

Charming cottage surrounded by lush greenery and flowers.

Expansive Properties

with room to farm, build, or simply breathe

Rainbow Falls waterfall surrounded by lush greenery, Hawaii.

Lush Landscapes

with waterfalls, rolling green pastures, and ancient Ohi’a trees

Welcoming Community

with farmers’ markets, local cafes, and a rich Hawaiian history

Unparalleled Tranquility

just a short drive from the conveniences of Waimea, Hilo, and the Kohala Coast

Living on the Hamakua Coast means experiencing a slower, more intentional way of life. It’s about waking up to the sounds of native birds, tending to a garden bursting with veggies and flowers, nurturing orchards of fruit, and spending afternoons exploring hidden waterfalls and swimming ponds. Whether you want horse property, an organic farm, or a peaceful hideaway, the Hamakua Coast offers a lifestyle unlike anywhere else on the Big Island.

While the Hamakua Coast holds a special place in my heart, I assist my clients in finding land, homes, and condos in all nine of our truly unique districts across the Big Island.
Each area offers something different, and I’ll peel that onion with you so you identify the perfect location, the place that matches your vision for island living. Whether you’re looking for an income-generating vacation rental, a forever home, or land to build your dream retreat, I have the expertise to guide you.

A Commitment To Honesty, Integrity, & Excellent Communication

My relationship with my clients isn’t just about the art of selling or buying. It’s also about partnership and embracing their dream… working together to reveal the best ways to get them there! Home is where the heart is, whether moving to the Big Island to fulfill a long-held dream, or heading to the mainland or far off international destination to begin a new one. How do I know? Because I have done it for my sellers and buyers…dozens and dozens of times!

Where do we start?
On that first brick on the yellow brick road!

If you’re ready to list your Big Island property, or start your search for a home, land or condo, I’m here to help. My goal is to ensure that your journey is smooth, informed, and enjoyable—because the journey should be just as rewarding as the end goal. Dorothy didn’t make it to the City of Oz in one jump…she had to take that first step, and then many many more on the shiny yellow brick road. And from there, one step at a time, and with the help of some very interesting “friends”, she finally made it to Oz! What a journey she had.
