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.
