Being raised in Hawaii has formed Lana’s professional work ethic. She works with the “spirit of Aloha”.
While many know Aloha as a Hawaiian greeting, it means much more. There’s a legend that says
Hawaiian children were taught the meaning of Aloha with the following acronym:
A: “Akahai,” kindness, expressed with tenderness
L: “Lokahi,” unity, expressed with harmony
O: “Oluolu,” agreeable, expressed with pleasantness
H: “Haahaa,” humility, expressed with modesty
A: “Ahonui,” patience, expressed with perseverance
Passionate about helping people find a home, Lana takes this responsibility seriously. She is committed
to a personal and professional life of compassion, kindness, happiness, humility, and perseverance.
Lana has three daughters and four grandchildren. She enjoys fishing and reading real estate and self-improvement
books. Though she has lived on a boat traveling to the Bahamas, Dominican Republic,
Turks and Caicos Islands, and Puerto Rico; skydiving remains on her bucket list.
She ends her emails with the word “Mahalo”, which means to live in gratitude.
