Every home has a story — but not every realtor knows how to tell it.
Jovanna brings a refined, editorial eye to Hawai‘i real estate, pairing island roots with a deep appreciation for design, architecture, and legacy properties. With a specialty in historic and architecturally significant homes, she approaches each listing with intention — curating, positioning, and negotiating with precision.
Born & raised in Hawai‘i, Jovanna offers not only local expertise but meaningful connections cultivated over a lifetime. She loves bringing you the very best in Island Living — whether you’re a seasoned luxury buyer, preparing to sell a cherished home, or dreaming about the keys to your first.
Known for her calm confidence and genuine warmth, Jovanna listens closely and leads thoughtfully. Her background in philanthropic fundraising, combined with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Skidmore College and her education at Punahou School, informs her polished yet strategic approach. She expertly guides clients through every step of the transaction with clarity and discretion.
After living in Madrid, Grenada, and New York City, she returned home to Hawai‘i to build a life with her husband, Dr. Dylan Fern, and their two daughters. She proudly serves on the board of directors for Adventist Health Castle Medical Center in Kailua and lives by her favorite Mark Twain quote: “The secret to getting ahead is getting started.”
Beyond real estate, you’ll find her immersed in interior design, collecting art, riding horses — a lifelong competitive equestrian and former collegiate polo player who won a National Championship in 2002 — or at the beach with her daughters and their Labrador, Bolt, and Cavalier King Charles, Dash Tanner.
Luxury is personal. Legacy is lasting.
Let’s connect — and tell your home’s story beautifully.

What my clients are saying...
I cannot speak highly enough about Jovanna. She helped us with the purchase of our first home. This could be a very daunting and overwhelming experience but Jovanna was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She’s very well-connected and knowledgeable about the island and that really came in handy. She knew so much about all the different neighborhoods we were looking at and also has a very artistic eye for style & decorating. When we were attending open houses together she was able to make suggestions as to how to optimize the layout of the home to better fit our families needs. In addition to her being really fantastic at what she does as a realtor, she’s also a really wonderful person to be around. She’s incredibly positive & fun. She was able to get us in a home that checked all the boxes of what we were looking for and we truly believe that we would not have secured this home if it weren’t for Jovanna’s help.
We were so fortunate to have had Jovanna to help with our recent home purchase. It’s a rough market for buyers and Jovanna remained patient and persistent throughout our search. She took time to get to know us and our wants and needs, helping us find the perfect home. Jovanna was always available for questions and kept us fully informed throughout the entire process. Jovanna has even helped out with advice and referrals as we’ve worked on getting settled in. Jovanna was wonderful to work with and I couldn’t recommend her more!
