With a real estate career spanning over four decades, I have dedicated my passion to serving buyers and sellers in the Islands since embarking on a full-time real estate profession in 1980. Born and raised in the Islands, I carry with me a strong belief that hard work and dedication can transform dreams into reality. My commitment to helping clients make informed decisions in their real estate endeavors has been the driving force behind my successful career.
Before entering the real estate industry, I spent over 14 years as a legal secretary for two senior partners at prominent law firms, specializing in real estate development, estate planning, and probate. This background has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the legal intricacies involved in real estate transactions.
Recognizing the importance of a supportive company, I aligned myself with Hawaii Life, a leading real estate firm known for its state-of-the-art technology, exposure to luxury platforms, and a sterling reputation in the marketplace. This affiliation has expanded my vision for serving buyers and sellers, inspiring confidence in my clients.
Client testimonials speak volumes about my organizational skills, knowledge, kindness, and ability to navigate various aspects of real estate transactions, from loans and home inspections to HOA inquiries. My commitment to providing exceptional service is visibly evident in testimonials (as seen below) expressing satisfaction with the ease and stress-free experience I bring to homebuying.
Having personally experienced the real estate process as both a buyer and seller, I understand the gravity of the decisions involved. This understanding, combined with my professional expertise, fuels my dedication to serving the needs of others. Your trust and confidence are paramount to me, ensuring peace of mind in one of the most significant investments a family can make.
My affiliations as a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Graduate of the Realtor's Institute (GRI), Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), and E-Professional (e-Pro) underscore my commitment to excellence. I am an active member of the Honolulu Board of Realtors, Hawaii Association of Realtors, National Association of Realtors, Residential Sales Council, and the Aloha Hawaii Chapter of Certified Residential Specialists.
Beyond my real estate roles, I serve as a court-appointed Commissioner, handling foreclosure and partition sales in the First Circuit and Federal Courts in Hawaii. My goal remains steadfast: Representing Buyers and Sellers with the same care and dedication that I would seek for myself. Your goals are my goals—trust in me for outstanding results in your real estate journey.
What my clients are saying...
We first met Patti when we purchased a condo she personally owned in 2005. She was a fair and respectful seller and our purchase experience was easy and stress free. When we decided to sell our unit, we knew Patti would be the Realtor to handle the listing, Patti handled our listing with gracious and respectful experience. As we live off island, it was a huge relief to know that we had Patti handling everything on our behalf. Our condo sale closed at full price. Patti went beyond the call of duty by holding special showings, arranging repairs, and personally attending to last minute requests. Patti is a true professional and a lovely person.
It has been an absolute pleasure having Patti as our agent. She is incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and kind. She was able to assist in regards to loan, home inspection, HOA questions, and many others. She even purchased a home warranty for us. It's my first home buying experience and Patti made the process as easy as possible. This wouldn't have been possible without her exceptional work, and speaks volumes of her trust-worthiness. We are happy with our purchase. Thank you again.
