I enjoyed an enriching 20-year career working for a high-net-worth family trust spanning Hawaii, California and New York before becoming a full-time real estate broker. Initially, my entry into real estate involved managing my family's diverse property investments, condominium developments, agricultural projects, new constructions, renovations, and long-term and vacation rentals. This firsthand experience, coupled with my prior career, became a cornerstone when I transformed a passion into a profession.
I have a deep connection to Kaua'i, having been born and raised on this beautiful island and with four generations of family who call it home. Hanalei is where my office, playground, and home converge. Living an active lifestyle with my husband, two boys, and our two adorable french bulldogs – you will often find us steps from home on Hanalei Bay.
Giving back to the community is a priority, reflected in my roles as a past President of Hanalei School PTSA, current Vice President of Hanalei Initiative, and contributions to various community events and projects. Staying involved and informed on policy decisions that impact residents and property owners is another role I stay active in.
Throughout every real estate transaction, I take pride in providing consistent availability, commitment to excellent customer service, a robust network of local contacts and referrals, clear communication, and unparalleled professionalism. Looking forward to hopefully collaborating with you!
Aloha,
Amy
I am thrilled to formally announce my full time real estate support team dedicated to delivering an even higher level of service and expertise to clients across Kauai.
This team reflects my commitment to ensuring no detail is ever missed, and every client receives the personalized, responsive, and results-driven experience they deserve. With extensive knowledge of the Kauai market, deep community ties, and a passion for excellence, I bring both heart and strategy to every transaction.
The support team approach in real estate has become increasingly popular for good reason—it's a model that provides immense value to clients. Here are just a few benefits of working with a an agent implementing the model:
Jaide is a licensed real estate agent who wears many hats—supporting not only on the front lines with showings, appointments, and client communication, but also behind the scenes with the critical backend work that keeps everything running smoothly. You’ll see her on email threads, coordinating logistics, attending property tours, and stepping in wherever needed. With Jaide on board, you’re essentially getting a two-for-one advantage. If I need to be in three places at once, she’s the reason we can make that happen. Our approach is all about adaptability—whether in person or virtually, we make sure every detail is handled and every client's needs are met.
Tara is our dedicated Transaction Manager, overseeing the escrow process from contract to close. She ensures that all timelines are met, paperwork is complete, and communication flows smoothly between all parties—buyers, sellers, agents, escrow officers, and lenders. From managing contingencies and disclosures to tracking deadlines and handling document coordination, Tara’s attention to detail keeps every transaction moving forward efficiently. Her support provides peace of mind for our clients and allows the rest of the team to stay focused on high-level strategy and service.
The Create team at Hawai‘i Life is our in-house creative powerhouse—bringing each listing to life with beautifully designed flyers, signage, brochures, and more. Their work adds polish and professionalism to every property we represent, ensuring that marketing materials are not only visually stunning but also aligned with our brand and message.
I pride myself on having great relationships and trust within the brokerage community. I have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to local vendors, contractors, restaurants, adventure guides and much more. I've built a reputation for providing unparalleled service to every one of my clients, regardless of the size or scope of their needs.
