Who I Help

First Time Home Buyers

Buying your first home in Honolulu can feel overwhelming—high prices, limited inventory, confusing loan options, and stories of multiple-offer bidding wars make it easy to doubt whether you’ll ever get your foot in the door. On top of that, you may be unsure who to trust, what you can realistically afford, or which neighborhoods actually fit your lifestyle and budget.


I help first-time buyers cut through the noise with a clear plan: we break down your numbers, narrow neighborhoods that make sense for you, and walk step-by-step from pre-approval through closing so you’re never guessing what comes next. The outcome is feeling confident in your decisions, understanding the trade-offs, and finally getting keys to a home that fits both your life and long-term goals—not just whatever happened to be available that week.

Investors

Investing in Oahu real estate comes with its own set of challenges: rising prices, shifting rental regulations, competition from other investors, and uncertainty about which neighborhoods will perform over time. Many investors also struggle to get clear local numbers on rents, vacancy, and maintenance so they can see whether a property truly pencils out.


I work with investors to define their strategy (cash flow, appreciation, or a mix), then identify properties and sub-markets where the numbers and long-term fundamentals actually support that vision. Together we review real data, run scenarios, and leverage local insight so you can move forward with the right opportunities with more clarity and less guesswork.

Veterans using VA Loans

Veteran buyers and active-duty buyers often hear that “Hawaii is too expensive for VA” or that sellers won’t take VA offers, which can be discouraging before you even start. On top of that, myths about the VA process, lending fees, and appraisals make the process seem more complicated than it needs to be.


I help VA buyers understand what’s actually possible—clarifying your entitlement, connecting you with VA-experienced lenders, and crafting competitive offers that can stand out even in a fast-moving market. The result is more confidence using the benefits you earned, and a realistic path to homeownership here in Hawaii instead of feeling like you have to keep renting forever.

Sellers

Selling a home on Oahu can be stressful: you’re trying to time the market, choose the right price, improve your home’s condition, and make sure the right buyers will see your property at all. Many sellers also worry about showings, prep-work, staging, and how to coordinate their sale with their next move so they’re not stuck in limbo.


I guide sellers with a clear, data-driven strategy that includes pricing based on current local trends, preparing the home to match buyer expectations, and negotiating aimed at protecting your bottom line while limiting stress. My goal is to reduce the uncertainty, keep you informed at every step, and help you walk away from closing feeling that you sold on strong terms—not under pressure.
