I've been in real estate for 20+ years across three markets — Las Vegas, Monterey County, and now Kauaʻi, where I've been since 2017. I hold the Certified Residential Specialist® (CRS) designation, a credential fewer than 3% of REALTORS® carry, and I've led top-producing teams in two states before planting roots here.

What I love about Kauaʻi's market is that it's genuinely unlike anywhere else. Leaseholds, conservation zoning, HARPTA withholding, vacation rental permits, cesspool regulations — buyers and sellers here run into things that don't exist on the mainland. I spend my days in this data and on this island so you don't have to navigate it alone.

After hundreds of transactions across three states, here's what I know for sure: the best outcomes come from being well-informed, not well-pressured. I dig into the comparable sales, study the market daily, and tell you what I'm actually seeing — whether that's what you want to hear or not. My goal is to make sure you have everything you need to make the right call for your situation.
When I'm not working, you'll probably find me on the golf course, in the water snorkeling with sea turtles, surfing, or hiking somewhere I haven't been yet. Kauaʻi has a way of making you want to explore.

If you're thinking about buying or selling on Kauaʻi, I'd love to talk. Follow me for market updates, insider tips, and Kauaʻi homes for sale at: HousesForSaleKauai.com.
