My love of Hawai‘i began during a college trip in 1997. I made the leap from the Pacific Northwest to the serene beaches of O‘ahu’s North Shore two years later. In 1999, at the age of 26, I earned my real estate license and I have since enjoyed a diverse, rewarding career in Hawai'i's enthralling real estate market.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding clients through an array of complex transactions: from subdividing and selling large vacant parcels of land, to collaborating on sales teams for high-rise developments—right up to penthouse level—and helping local families realize their dreams of buying plantation homes, reclaiming childhood spaces they played in as children.
My professional journey has honed both keen insight and broad expertise, and I’ve been honored to be nominated multiple times for the prestigious Aloha ‘Āina REALTOR® Award, which recognizes exceptional service and professionalism in Hawai‘i’s real-estate community. hicentral.com+1 In addition, I hold designations as an international sales agent and a luxury-homes specialist. I also manage a curated portfolio of Hawai‘i vacation homes and long-term rental properties across the islands.

Helping clients find their ideal Hawai‘i property is my passion. I take a highly personalized approach, emphasizing meticulous attention to detail and delivering the highest level of service. For investor clients, I offer full-scope support—from acquisition guidance to asset management and long-term oversight—ensuring each property works with purpose and performance.
Outside the office, I nurture a deep appreciation for art, design, and travel, and a newfound love of golf. I suppose I'm a "foodie", as my husband—a pilot—and I love cooking at home together in the kitchen. We seize every opportunity to explore Hawai‘i’s outdoors. You’ll often find us near the ocean, enjoying the island’s year-round, idyllic weather.
I chose Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers for its smart, forward-thinking approach to business and its warm, welcoming culture—and I look forward to partnering with you to find your perfect Hawai‘i home while making the journey as enjoyable and seamless as possible.

We have known Diana for over three years and had a great experience having her first represent us as our property manager and then as our sales agent while we were living on the Gulf Coast of Florida as a retired military family. She always had our best interest in mind and despite the time difference between Panama City, Florida and Honolulu was never slow to keep us in the loop whenever there were expenses or issues that would arise. She had developed her own team and was personally involved with repairs and renovations and attended to details in an extraordinary manner on some very complicated issues. She would often send photographs or videos to help explain. Her sense of aesthetics was critical in creating wonderful street appeal and her boundless enthusiasm helped us maintain a positive perspective. She gave outstanding advice on when and where to spend time and money. When she listed our property, she already knew the home better than we did and we were delighted with the sale. She absorbed the stress of selling a home for us. She is a people person. We can think of no higher praise than we would trust and recommend Diana with the management and sale of any home or property. She is a true professional and a joy to work with.
Diana is easily the most responsive, professional and prepared rental agent I have ever used. Her enthusiasm and attention to detail have added a whole new level of comfort to my experience as an investment property owner. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in renting their property, particularly those leaving Hawaii who need a trusted agent to act on their behalf.
