Whether you're buying your first home, selling an investment property, relocating to Hawaiʻi, or looking for professional property management, I provide personalized real estate services tailored to your goals.
As a longtime Kailua resident, Hawaii-licensed real estate broker, investor, and Navy veteran, I understand the unique challenges of the Oʻahu real estate market. My approach combines local market knowledge, investment-minded advice, and hands-on service to help you make informed decisions and protect your real estate interests.
Serving Kailua, Kāneʻohe, Honolulu, Mililani, ʻEwa Beach, Kapolei, Hawaiʻi Kai, Kakaʻako, and communities throughout Oʻahu.
Finding the right home in Hawaiʻi requires more than searching listings. From understanding neighborhood differences and evaluating property values to navigating competitive offers and financing, I help buyers make confident, informed decisions.
Services include:
Whether you're purchasing your first home, upgrading, or investing in Oʻahu real estate, I provide guidance tailored to your financial goals and lifestyle.
Selling real estate in Hawaiʻi requires thoughtful pricing, effective marketing, and a clear strategy. I help homeowners position their properties to attract qualified buyers while navigating negotiations and closing.
Services include:
From Kailua homes and Windward Oʻahu properties to condominiums in Honolulu, my goal is to help you maximize your property's marketability and achieve the best possible outcome based on current market conditions.
Owning rental property on Oʻahu can be a valuable long-term investment, but managing tenants, maintenance, compliance, and finances takes time and attention. My property management services help owners protect their investments while reducing the day-to-day demands of being a landlord.
With experience managing residential rental properties throughout Oʻahu, I offer personalized service designed around your property, tenants, and investment objectives.
Services include:
Whether you own a single rental home or a growing portfolio, I provide hands-on management with an emphasis on communication, accountability, and protecting your property's long-term value.
Leaving a home vacant in Hawaiʻi can create concerns about maintenance, weather exposure, plumbing issues, pests, security, and unexpected repairs. My vacant home concierge services provide local oversight for owners who live elsewhere, travel frequently, or simply need a reliable point of contact for their property.
With a local presence in Kailua and familiarity with Oʻahu properties, I help owners stay informed and address issues before they become bigger problems.
Services may include:
Whether your home is a second residence, an inherited property, or a primary residence temporarily left vacant, concierge services offer a local resource to help keep your property cared for while you're away.
Service frequency, scope, emergency response, and vendor coordination are customized to the property and owner's needs.
Relocating to Hawaiʻi for military orders can be challenging, especially when you're navigating unfamiliar neighborhoods, housing costs, tight timelines, and a competitive real estate market.
As a Navy submarine veteran and Navy Reserve officer, I understand military life and the demands of a PCS move. I help military members and their families make informed housing decisions before, during, and after their transition to Oʻahu.
Services include:
My goal is to make your move to or from Hawaiʻi as straightforward as possible while helping you understand your options and avoid costly surprises.
Real estate investing in Hawaiʻi requires careful consideration of acquisition costs, rental income, operating expenses, taxes, and long-term appreciation potential.
I work with property owners and investors to evaluate real estate opportunities, understand market conditions, and develop strategies aligned with their investment objectives.
Services include:
Whether you're purchasing your first rental property, expanding an existing portfolio, or considering selling a property you've owned for years, I can help you evaluate your real estate options.
Selling appreciated investment real estate can create significant tax considerations. For eligible investors, a Section 1031 exchange may allow the deferral of capital gains taxes when exchanging qualifying investment or business real property for other qualifying real property, subject to applicable requirements.
For Hawaiʻi property owners, this can provide an opportunity to reposition investments, diversify geographically, or transition away from the responsibilities of direct property management.
I help coordinate the real estate side of the process and work with qualified professionals, including qualified intermediaries, CPAs, tax attorneys, and investment consultants, to help owners understand potential strategies.
Traditional 1031 Exchange Services
Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs): An Alternative to Direct Property Ownership
For eligible investors, a Delaware Statutory Trust may provide an alternative to purchasing and managing another property directly as part of a qualifying 1031 exchange.
DST investments may provide access to professionally managed commercial real estate, potentially across multiple markets and property types, without the day-to-day responsibilities of direct ownership. Depending on the investment structure and eligibility requirements, a DST interest may qualify as replacement property in a 1031 exchange.
I can help connect you with qualified DST and investment consultants to explore whether this approach may fit your objectives.
Potential considerations include:
DST investments are not suitable for every investor and can involve substantial risks, limited liquidity, and long holding periods. Tax treatment and exchange eligibility depend on the specific circumstances and applicable rules. Consult qualified tax and legal professionals before proceeding.
My role is to help you evaluate the real estate transaction and coordinate with the appropriate specialists so you can make an informed decision.
Leaving Hawaiʻi can present its own challenges, particularly when you're coordinating a home sale, deciding whether to retain your property as a rental, or purchasing a home at your next duty station.
Through a trusted network of experienced, real estate agents, I can connect you with professionals who understand long distance relocations and the demands of PCS timelines. These relationships help you access local market knowledge and personalized support at your next destination.
Services include:
My referral network is built around trusted professionals who demonstrate high character, strong communication, local market expertise, and an understanding of military families. While each agent operates independently, my goal is to connect you with someone who will treat your relocation with the same care and attention I would provide here on Oʻahu.
Whether you're buying, selling, investing, managing a rental property, or exploring alternatives to direct real estate ownership, I welcome the opportunity to discuss your goals and how I can help.
I provide real estate sales, property management, and related services throughout Oʻahu, with a focus on Kailua and Windward Oʻahu. I also serve clients in Kāneʻohe, Honolulu, Mililani, Ewa Beach, Kapolei, Hawaiʻi Kai, Kakaʻako, and surrounding communities.
Yes. I provide residential property management services throughout Oʻahu, primarily in Kailua and Kāneʻohe. Services can include rental marketing, tenant screening and placement, lease administration, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and owner reporting. Management services are tailored to the property and owner's needs.
Yes. I work with owners who live on the mainland or elsewhere and need a reliable local real estate professional to help manage their Oʻahu properties. Depending on the services needed, I can assist with rental property management, maintenance coordination, vacant home oversight, and real estate transactions.
Vacant home concierge services provide local oversight for properties that are temporarily unoccupied or used as second homes. Services may include scheduled visual property checks, identifying apparent maintenance concerns, coordinating contractors, providing photos and updates, and preparing the home for an owner's return. Service frequency and scope are customized to the property. These visits are not a substitute for specialized inspections, security systems, or insurance coverage.
Property management fees vary based on the property, services required, number of units, and level of management. Tenant placement, ongoing management, maintenance coordination, and other services may be priced separately. Contact me to discuss your property and receive information about the applicable fees and services.
Absolutely. As a Navy veteran and current Navy Reserve officer, I understand the demands of military life and permanent change-of-station (PCS) moves. I help military families navigate Oʻahu neighborhoods, evaluate housing options, buy or sell homes, and explore rental property opportunities. I also assist buyers and sellers navigating VA-financed transactions. I routinely help Military buyers purchase homes before they even step foot on O'ahu.
Yes. I work with military members and eligible veterans purchasing homes with VA financing. I can help you evaluate properties, structure offers, coordinate with your lender, and navigate the transaction. I can also help buyers and sellers understand the general process involved in a VA loan assumption, subject to lender approval and applicable requirements.
A Section 1031 exchange may allow eligible real estate investors to defer recognition of capital gains when exchanging qualifying investment or business real property for other qualifying real property. I can assist with the real estate transaction, help identify potential replacement properties, and coordinate timelines with your qualified intermediary and tax and legal advisors. A qualified intermediary and appropriate professional advice are essential to structuring an exchange correctly.
A Delaware Statutory Trust, or DST, is an investment structure that can provide fractional beneficial ownership in real estate held by a trust. For eligible investors, an interest in a properly structured DST may qualify as replacement property in a 1031 exchange. This can offer an alternative to acquiring and directly managing another property. DSTs have investment risks, fees, limited liquidity, and other restrictions. I can connect you with qualified consultants to explore the potential benefits, risks, and eligibility requirements.
Not necessarily. Eligible investors may be able to use a qualifying DST interest as replacement property rather than purchasing an entire property directly. Whether this strategy works depends on the specific exchange, the investor's circumstances, and applicable tax rules. Consult a qualified intermediary and tax professional before making decisions about an exchange.
Yes. I help property owners evaluate the sale of investment real estate and explore potential next steps, including purchasing another rental property or investigating a 1031 exchange. For investors seeking a more passive approach, I can also facilitate introductions to qualified professionals who work with DST investments and other real estate investment strategies. Tax, legal, and investment decisions should be made with appropriately qualified advisors.
Property values depend on location, condition, property type, recent comparable sales, current competition, and buyer demand. I can prepare a comparative market analysis to help you understand your property's potential market value and develop a pricing strategy for selling or evaluating an investment.
The first step is a conversation about your property and objectives. Whether you need help buying or selling a home, managing a rental property, overseeing a vacant residence, or exploring investment property options, contact me to discuss your goals and determine which services are the best fit.
