About Me

Aloha! Welcome to Hilo, Hawaii located on the Big Island of Hawaii, also known as the Orchid Isle and the Volcano Isle, and to my web site. This web site is designed to be your complete Real Estate resource. It has been built to assist you with all of your needs. The buttons will link you to information that will help answer some of your questions, although I am always available to offer you personal service, too. Please contact me whichever way you wish at your convenience.

Now, just a little bit about myself . . . in 1989 after several years of teaching and later assisting my husband in running several local businesses, I obtained my real estate license. I found the challenges of helping people sell their homes and the gratification that comes from helping people fulfill their life's dream of owning their own home or in relocating to East Hawaii, very satisfying. Most of my business comes from referrals of previous happy clients.

I attribute my success in this business to simply applying "The Golden Rule" by treating others the way I would like to be treated . . . with professionalism, respect, and the best service I have to offer. My credentials, awards, and involvement in the community are as follows:

• Certified Residential Specialist (one of top 5% of Realtors in U.S.)
