Born and raised on Kauaʻi, I bring over 14 years of real estate experience and nearly 8 years as a licensed REALTOR®, combining deep local roots with extensive industry knowledge.
My experience spans a wide range of real estate, including luxury properties, vacant land, vacation rental investments, VA buyers, and first-time homebuyers. Whether assisting a family with purchasing their first home or helping an investor evaluate a vacation rental opportunity, I am committed to providing the knowledge, resources, and guidance needed to make confident, informed decisions. My clients appreciate my detail-oriented approach, strong communication, and Type-A personality that helps keep transactions organized and moving forward smoothly.
In addition to residential sales, I bring over four years of vacation rental management experience, overseeing a portfolio of more than 70 properties throughout Kauaʻi. This hands-on experience provides valuable insight into vacation rental operations, guest expectations, property performance, and the unique regulations surrounding Vacation Destination Areas (VDA), making me a valuable resource for buyers and sellers interested in investment properties.
Being involved in the community is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. As a lifelong Kauaʻi resident, I care deeply about preserving the character of our island while supporting opportunities for future generations to live, work, and thrive here. I proudly serve on the Public Relations and Communications Committee for the Kauaʻi Board of REALTORS®, where I help support community outreach, educational initiatives, and programs that strengthen our island. This role allows me to work alongside other local professionals to promote responsible homeownership, advocate for housing opportunities, and contribute to the long-term well-being of our community. Giving back to the island that has given so much to me is something I value greatly, and I believe meaningful community involvement is one of the best ways to create lasting positive change.
Outside of real estate, my husband and I (both born and raised on Kauaʻi's South Shore) enjoy raising our family and spending time outdoors. His background in construction and demolition often complements my work in real estate, giving us a shared appreciation for homes, property improvement, and investment opportunities. When I'm not helping clients, you'll find me working on our farm, camping, traveling, eating great food and being surrounded by nature!
Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or simply exploring your options, my goal is to provide trusted guidance, local expertise, and exceptional service every step of the way.

What my clients are saying...
As a first time home buyer, Nani helped me to feel extremely at ease. She was easy to get in touch with and answered all my questions in a reasonable time manner so I never felt stressed about not understanding something or what was going on during each stage of the purchase. She is knowledgeable and takes great care of her clients.
Nani Pereza was a true delight to work with as our agent on Kauai. There are often many unexpected and tedious hurdles to satisfy in any real estate deal. Nani was able to very professionally execute a solution to any situation that would arise. We feel so fortunate to have found Nani and would recommend her expertise to any prospective buyer. Lucky for us we had such an outstanding agent. Thank you Nani! Dennis and Geri
