My Love of Hawaii
Little did I know that Hawaii was my destiny, beginning with a family reunion at the tender age of ten. The islands quickly became my sanctuary, with their perfect weather, pristine beaches, vibrant outdoor lifestyle, and the infectious joy of its residents. As fate would have it, my connection to Hawaii deepened through my family and my husband, a native islander. With each passing year, my love for Hawaii grows, as does my happiness living in this paradise.

What my clients are saying...
Leeana is a terrific realtor! Professional, knowledgeable, very hard-working, and she has the patience of a saint. We were fortunate to meet her at an open house showing and immediately knew she was who we wanted to work with. She established a portal specifically for our needs that was always up-to-date and easy for us to access from the mainland.
Her response time is the best, and she is willing to go and look/video properties you are interested in. She dealt with us for months and was always positive during our ups and downs about buying in Hawaii. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to buy or sell on Hawaii!
Leeana represented us with our purchase on the Big Island of Hawaii and we couldn’t have been more thankful. Leeana went above and beyond to show our family several homes, shared her knowledge of the market, and was able to give the pros and cons of the properties seen. Leeana was professional, punctual, a great communicator and extremely organized.
Buying a home in the current market, which is definitely a sellers market, can be a real challenge. Leeana’s expertise ensured that we were prepared and that our offer was written in a timely manner and successfully accepted. We loved Leeana so much that we referred her to our son a d daughter in law. Leeana was able to find them a home as well that they will be closing on soon. We would use Leeana again without hesitation!
