Buying a home is one of the ultimate personal decisions we make in our lives. In many ways, it defines our relationships, how we raise our family, how we celebrate triumphs and cope with failures, how we spend retirement, or those few precious weeks a year when family comes together on vacation. Our life happens within the confines of walls we call HOME.
My husband often asks me why I care so much about other people, oftentimes strangers we just randomly meet. He tells me this is my biggest strength - a genuine sense of caring and connecting with others.
'I grew up" in the hospitality industry. An early start in Europe at the age of 16 - from restaurants to all the different departments in hotels and ultimately to working on Norwegian cruise line around the world. I was very fortunate to be trained by Swiss professors and my management training came from the leading industry chain, the fabulous Four Seasons Hotels, both in New York and on Maui.
I carried that foundation to my next chapter of building my own business - a construction company on Maui. I discovered the challenges and pleasures of being a business owner, but most of all the pressure of being responsible for the livelihoods of my employees and the ultimate goal, my clients' satisfaction and happiness.
As a real estate investor, I focused on the challenging projects - the 'Cinderella stories'. My eye for design and creativity fueled a new passion.
As a REALTOR@, I bring my experience and expertise, making the process for buyers or sellers as painless as possible. My goal is to deliver the best price, in the shortest time, with least amount of headaches.
I'm licensed in two states -- Hawaii and New York. I stand out not only by bringing an impeccable knowledge of the real estate market, but also because I genuinely care and will not stop until YOU find the HOME that is perfect for you.
I understand what it is like to stand in my clients' shoes. I've lived on Maui since 1996, moving countless times, buying and selling houses first as an owner, later as real estate investor. My personal experience as a buyer, seller, landlord, vacation rental owner -- all that gives me a first hand perspective and sensitivity to my clients' journeys.
