Homes of Hawai'i Real Estate

Q1: I've been a REALTOR® for over 22 years. I've served on HBR's Grievance Committee for nearly 8 years. I'm currently the Principal Broker/Owner of Homes of Hawai'i Real Estate. I am very proud to say that I am a graduate of HARLA 2022 (HAR's Leadership Academy).  I am the Vice Chair of the Standard Forms Committee and the 2025 Hawaii REBI Chapter President. I have vast experience in creating and instituting programs and trainings that work for a variety of skill levels and personality types.

Q2: My primary focus is always to enhance and better our REALTOR® community's reputation by encouraging professionalism and cooperation. I know that we can't accomplish that by working alone. The best way I know how to achieve this is by listening to thoughts and ideas from our Membership, coordinating with other Board members, adhering to our Code of Ethics, and working in the spirit of cooperation. I know we can do this.

Callahan Realty

Q1: I bring insight into our organization’s operations, shaped by five years on the HiCentral MLS Board, including service as [2024] President during the NAR lawsuit settlement. That experience taught me the value of open dialogue, diverse viewpoints, and collaboration. I bring a collegial mindset, a commitment to serve, a willingness to listen, and a “one team” attitude to help strengthen HBR.

Q2: Our profession faces growing challenges, and I believe we should focus on delivering member benefits that help us better serve our clients. One idea is to revamp our public website—it offers the most complete and accurate property data, yet many still turn to alternatives. I want to continue the current President’s important goal of ensuring we have a voice in the room and a seat at the table where key industry decisions are made.
