About Lana'i Realty

Lana'i Realty had it's humble beginnings back in 1971 as the first actual real estate company on the private island of Lana'i, (back then called "The Pineapple Island"), servicing the exclusive Real Estate sales and management needs of a very small and specialized market of mostly old plantation homes built in the 1920's-1950's by Dole Foods. As the island transformed from the World's Largest Pineapple Plantation into a very exclusive high-end tourist destination with new luxury housing and hotels, so did Lana'i Realty...continuing to service old clients as well as new growing demand from the outside. 

Lana'i Realty's main office was relocated to the island of Oah'u in the 1990's, but continued to represent clients looking for Lana'i property by acting as an island expert broker. Being born and raised in Kailua on Oah'u, the current owner of Lana'i Realty expanded business into all areas of the main island, bringing expert knowledge and offering real estate sales and management services under the Lana'i Realty brand. We come from humble island beginnings, and remain humble, easy-going and family oriented.

​During real estate boom times, many new firms and individuals flood into the marketplace promising big results through fancy marketing , slick sales talk, and catchy guarantees. When the market cycle drops, these agents and new firms leave and chase other money-making schemes. It's a predictable cycle migration.

Lana'i Realty has been around for over 44 years, and the current Principle Broker has been representing clients for over 30 of those.  We have worked through up and down market cycles, adapting to assist our clients with their specific needs. We are here to stay...and proud to count many current clients having been loyal to Lana'i Realty for decades. We practice an old-fashioned brand of client based customer service...we believe integrity and mutual respect are the basis to attaining the desired goals of our clients. We pride ourselves in being very experienced in diverse areas of real estate and all phases of the transaction to protect our clients. We do not push our clients to inexperienced "assistants" or "coordinators" after the contract is accepted. We believe you should have one consistent point-of-contact, and know who will be looking after your best interests (not their own). We promise to never hustle you into a purchase or sale.  We treat our clients like family, and definitely consider clients our friends. Come see for yourself the difference between a "franchised chain" company and a smaller true client-based real estate firm. We invite you to join our family.
