Named after an endemic plant whose flowers were once used to make leis, Aiea gives off small-town vibes with big city draws. Aiea was once one of Oahu’s largest sugar mills but underwent major housing and commercial development in the late 1950s, with many of the homes from the original build still standing today. Located in southeast Oahu and a stone’s throw away from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Aiea’s proximity to locations such as Downtown Honolulu and other military bases make it an attractive place to live. Aiea has a strong sense of community, and it shows by the number of local shops and restaurants that have the continued support of residents. Nearby, residents can get medical care from the Straub Medical Center. Aiea offers a quiet place to grow roots while remaining close to other beautiful destinations Oahu offers.

I believe every client is different and it's my job to listen to your needs and provide a unique experience for each person.
I started in real estate from the ground level in transaction management, assisting one of the top agents on Oahu. Before getting into real estate, as a Buyer and Manager in the luxury retail world of duty-free shopping, I learned the importance of understanding the customer and delivering first-class customer service. That philosophy translated easily into the wedding industry, where my husband and I have built a successful DJ business, specializing in intimate destination weddings for clients from all over the world.
Having been born and raised in Guam, and traveling all over the world, I felt the draw of the Aloha state and decided to move to Hawaii in 2002. I along with my husband and two kids now make our home in Kapolei. In our free time, we enjoy driving around the island and exploring other neighborhoods.
Close attention to detail, extreme responsiveness, a keen mind, and a positive attitude are assets I bring to every interaction and make me the kind of agent you want in your corner when negotiating the sale or purchase of your home. If you are looking for a professional who has these traits, is loyal to your interests, and will fight for your rights, contact me!
