Tanya Sunshine

REALTOR BROKER, CIPS, GREEN, E-PRO, SRS, ABR

With over 15 years of experience as a full-time Realtor-Broker, I provide skilled representation for Buyers and Sellers across Hawai‘i Island. I specialize in all types of real estate, from residential homes and luxury estates to farms, land, and investment properties. I am also the go-to expert for navigating KSBE agricultural leasehold transactions—a highly complex process where experience matters.
I take pride in creating value for my clients—helping Buyers secure the best deals and Sellers maximize their return. With strong negotiation skills, diligence, and persistence, I don’t just facilitate transactions—I ensure they close. My expertise, knowledge, and unwavering commitment allow me to anticipate challenges and find solutions, making the process smooth and successful for my clients.
Having lived on Hawai‘i Island for nearly 30 years, I bring a familiarity with its diverse climates, communities, and unique real estate landscape. Every area offers something distinct, and I understand the importance of matching the right property to each client’s needs—whether it’s for lifestyle, investment, or long-term legacy. I approach my work with cultural sensitivity and a deep respect for the land and people, ensuring that every transaction is handled with care and transparency.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me singing, gardening, cooking, enjoying the beach, supporting local businesses, and spending time with my three rescue dogs.
My clients know me as a dedicated, results-driven professional who listens, acts with integrity, and delivers. If you're looking for an agent who is experienced, and committed to your success, I’d love to help you achieve your real estate goals.

What my clients are saying...

Tanya came highly recommended by a local friend. This was my first time buying property in Hawaii. I purchased the property while I was still living in LA so wanted the assurance of a knowledgeable real estate agent. When I first reached out, Tanya responded within minutes. She was so enthusiastic, pleasant and knowledgable. We immediately connected. While I had already seen and selected the home/property that I wanted to purchase, she acted quickly to submit the offer the same day. She cleared explained the entire process and assisted to set the escrow in motion so seamlessly. Tanya constantly checked in with me, giving me updates. I am so grateful for her efficiency. And loved her consistently pleasant demeanor. Tanya is a delight! She is a skilled real estate agent and have already recommended her to new friends I have made now that I live in Hawaii.
