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...
You will count yourself exceptionally fortunate to have Jovanna Giannasio-Fern as your realtor. Why? Foremost she made us comfortable. She provided us with a clear understanding of the entire process in our very first meeting. She also clarified each step as we went through them. Jovanna is a total professional with her keen analysis of the market and your property. She gave her complete attention to every detail. Importantly, she communicated with us at every level and that relieved us of worry during a stressful transition. Don’t hesitate; you will be in excellent hands with Jovanna on your side!
Literally feeling blessed to have worked with Jovanna! When I first arrived on island I had no idea where to start, but Jovanna made my first time home buying experience straightforward and guided me through every step of the way. She is very knowledgeable with everything she goes out of her way to teach you. She was patient throughout the whole process and was able to work around my schedule. Honestly could not have asked for anyone better. The whole process was professional, friendly, and informative. Would definitely recommend her to all active duty military or first time home buyers.
