THE AWARD-WINNING BROKER’S GUIDE TO REAL ESTATE SUCCESS

With over a decade of experience, I’ve helped buyers, sellers, and developers navigate NYC’s real estate market by integrating Hawaiian hospitality with strategy, precision, and results. As an award-winning broker and the Founder of Aloha Luxury Collective, I know what it takes to succeed in this competitive industry. But my journey didn’t begin in the high-rises of Manhattan—it started on the islands of Hawaii, where I learned the resilience, discipline, and mindset that prepared me for my career. In this book, I share not only the truth about making it in real estate but also personal stories and lessons from growing up in Hawaii—insights that shaped my approach to relationships, business, and life. Success in real estate isn’t just about sales—it’s about vision, execution, and perseverance. This book pulls back the curtain on what it really takes. Gain the insider knowledge to elevate your real estate game. Grab your copy today!

Shawnalei Tamayose is redefining luxury real estate through storytelling, strategy, and purpose. An award-winning broker and author of Becoming a Real Estate Agent: The Truth You Need to Know, she is the founder of Aloha Luxury Collective, bringing over a decade of New York City experience and a media-driven approach that transforms listings into lifestyle brands buyers can’t ignore.

With professional on-camera training from the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, education from Wharton Executive Education, and negotiation training from Harvard Business School Online, Shawnalei combines creative storytelling with business strategy to deliver powerful results. Having sold over $450 million in real estate, served on the #1 team in New York City, and acted as Sales Director on new development projects totaling over $275 million, she blends analytical precision with visionary marketing.

Over a five-year leadership tenure, Shawnalei helped transform a rental-only brokerage into a full-service firm and now leads a team that services all price points, bringing world-class service and hospitality-driven care to every client.

Now at Brown Harris Stevens, she merges expertise, creativity, and impact—delivering record results while giving back. A portion of every sale supports childhood education, clean water, and hunger-relief initiatives worldwide—because with Shawnalei, you’re not just selling real estate, you’re helping change lives.
