As a real estate broker on the Big Island, I treat my clients' needs as I would my own. Since receiving my license in 2014, my straight forward approach has led to return clients and referrals, allowing real estate to be my sole career since the day I began. I’ve acted as a Broker-In Charge of a boutique firm, and a Broker Associate in an internationally competitive firm. Through these experiences, I have learned the ins and outs from some of the best in the business. I have helped my clients through stressful situations, turning them into successful transactions. Now, I’m a great resource when it comes time to selling properties and finding the right home for new & experienced buyers.
I’m originally from Tokyo, Japan, and was raised on Maui from an early age. In 2012, I made what was intended to be a temporary visit to the Big Island, and I’ve lived here ever since! I eventually found my way to the Hamakua Coast where I’ve spent the last 11 years. I spend most of my spare time with my partner Darya and our son Keanu, w/ our adored dogs, working and tending to our off grid family homestead in Laupahoehoe, or enjoying my passion -- partner dancing. I also love to explore the island - hiking, surfing, camping, freshwater swimming, and so much more. I have a deep love and understanding of the islands and enjoy the opportunity to share what I know with clients; it’s why I feel so lucky to help people in their time of transition.
If you're looking to buy or sell real estate on the Big Island, please call and I will help to you make sound decisions for you and yours. You can reach me directly at 808-557-5847, or send me an email at danishikawa@hawaiilife.com.

What my clients are saying...
We had been trying to find a home off and on for 3 years. When we began working with Dan, we immediately knew we were in good hands. He was very thorough and eager to help. He was honest and upfront about the process and all involved as well as his own knowledge and limitations. Whenever he did not know the answer to one of our questions, he told us so then would not rest until he had found the answer for us. We were looking for a home in an area he was unfamiliar with, but he quickly familiarized himself and used his connections to find out everything he needed to know. He readily accommodated our schedule and we were confident in the process knowing he was representing us
Dan was instrumental in the buying process for our forever home in Kapulena. The seller was very challenging to work with, and there were some title issues as well. Dan was very skilled at articulating to us the costs and benefits of different negotiation positions, allowing us to make fully informed decisions. He was very patient with our questions, have nearly all answers close at hand. For the few questions he could not answer right away, he was quick to admit it, and then sought out the answer ASAP. Dan was always very responsive to our emails and phone calls, usually getting back to us within an hour if he did not answer immediately. I would strongly recommend Dan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
