Buying a home is the largest financial transaction many of us will ever face. For many people the process is intimidating and confusing. I remember how scared I was when I bought my first home in 1998! Fortunately, I was working with an awesome real estate professional who made sure I understood the process and was comfortable every step of the way.
My goal is to make my clients feel as confident and comfortable as I did when I bought my first home. Whether you are a first time homebuyer or a seasoned investor, I will make sure you understand the process and feel confident every step of the way. When you''re moving into that new home or depositing that first rent check, I want you to have a big smile and think of me!
Work Experience
As an experienced real estate professional, I have worked with the full spectrum of clients, sharing the roller coaster of emotions and excitement with first time homebuyers as well as the rigid analysis and tough negotiations with seasoned investors. I have helped local families move to the next neighborhood and worked with investors from Canada, Australia, Japan, Europe as well as the US mainland in achieving their real estate investment goals without being here in Hawaii.
Prior to my commitment as a real estate professional, I honed my customer service, financial analysis, sales & marketing, and negotiation skills at Bank of Hawaii, GE, Frito Lay and the US Army. I utilize the knowledge, experience and lessons learned at those industry leading organizations to help my clients succeed in achieving their real estate goals.
Expertise
I have helped clients buy and sell properties all over Oahu and my area of expertise is the Honolulu Metro area - from Salt Lake to Hawaii Kai and Kailua. That''s where I live, work, and Play!
I have aligned with the Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties Team to provide the experience, expertise and tools that enable me to help my clients buy or sell property anywhere on Oahu. From technology tools, to research and marketing expertise, the Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties Team has it all! I am also confident that when I refer my clients to our neighbor island affiliates, they will provide the same level of customer service that my clients have come to expect.
