REALTOR SALESPERSON, GRI, RSPS

Whether you’re preparing to sell a home or searching for the right property on the Big Island, you deserve to feel informed, prepared, and confident in the decisions you’re making. Real estate can be exciting, but it can also involve difficult decisions, unexpected challenges, and a lot of moving pieces. My role is to make that process clearer and easier for you.

Throughout the process, you can expect honest communication, attention to detail, and someone who stays closely involved from our first conversation through closing and beyond. Having successfully closed more than 16 sales in the past 12 months, I’m actively working in the market every day and seeing firsthand what is working, what is changing, and where challenges are arising. That experience becomes an advantage for you when it comes time to make important decisions.

Tech-Driven Marketing. Proven Home Sales.
Before real estate, I built my career in digital marketing, earning a B.S. in Marketing and later working for O’Reilly Media, a leading technology publisher. There, I helped grow annual ebook revenue from $3 million to more than $12 million through data-driven digital campaigns.
For sellers, that experience matters. I approach every listing as both a Realtor and a marketer, looking at how your property is positioned, presented, priced, and promoted to today’s buyers. From photography and staging to digital exposure and targeted marketing, the goal is not simply to put your home on the market. It is to give buyers a reason to choose it over the competition.

Communication You Can Count On
You should never have to chase your agent for an update or wonder what is happening with your sale or purchase. You will know where things stand, what comes next, and when something needs your attention. Your questions will be answered, your concerns will be heard, and you can expect direct, consistent communication from our first conversation through closing.

A Partnership Built Around Your Goals
No two buyers, sellers, or situations are exactly alike. My job is to understand what matters most to you and help you make decisions that support those goals. You can expect straightforward advice, honest feedback, and no pressure to make a decision simply because it moves a transaction forward. The goal is not just a successful closing, but a result you feel good about afterward.

What my clients are saying...

This is my second time using Leeana and I was again so impressed. Smart, high quality responsive service. Knows the area and continues to keep herself abreast of new developments in the area and in the real estate business. Great eye for staging homes for her sellers and it is included at no extra charge. Honest and really cares to get the best for her clients whether they be looking to buy or sell. I have already and will continue to recommend her to family and friends.

Leeana or "RB" (the nickname I gave her) went so far and beyond in her efforts to help us get our new home in Ocean View.

She is a hard worker, smart, knowledgeable, patient, persistent but not pushy.

She is on top of her game and If you don't get the house your heart desires it certainly will not be because of lack of effort on her part.

I recommend you work with her 110%. Her spirit of Aloha shines through her pleasant personality.
