    “You can teach a person how to sell, but you cannot teach them how to care.”

    From the moment you meet Lori, you will feel like you are the only person in her universe. Aloha is the Hawaiian word for love, and Lori is a true native of Hawaii in every sense of the word.

    Living all her life on the island has given Lori a leg up on Oahu real estate. During her real estate career so far, she has received mentorship from one of Hawaii’s respected high-end property developers and later one of Hawaii’s well-regarded Realtors. Lori still includes these pivotal people from her past in her network of professional connections. Whatever interests you in Hawaii will likely touch on her inner circle or area of expertise, including development, staging, financing, and even wealth management.

    Do you need to price your property at exactly the right level to get multiple offers? Lori will tell it like it is. Do you need to stage your home to make it the best that it can be for sale? Lori can tap into her resources. Do you need to change the structural appeal of your property? Lori will connect you with the right people. Do you need help financing a purchase or managing uninvested funds until your next purchase? Lori can introduce you to the best.

    Relationships define Lori. Before real estate, when she was honing her luxury expertise as General Manager of Burberry (an upscale global brand) for a decade, Lori hired team members with big hearts who could connect with people from all walks of life. Not surprisingly, Lori still counts many of her former team members as close friends today. Meet Lori and you may have just met a lifelong friend. Relationships with Lori outlast one-time transactions.

    When she is not playing with her bunny or cockatiel, Lori enjoys surfing and hiking. You might also find her listening to an iconoclastic podcast or, when she has her reading glasses on, catching up on the latest developments in real estate and the broader economy.

    Hi, everyone! Although new to the real estate sales business, I have spent my entire professional career, spanning over 3 decades - approximately 20 years from Honolulu, Hawaii, and 16 years from Tokyo, Japan - as a transactional real estate lawyer, assisting friends and clients with their legal real estate needs. In this role, I have had the honor and privilege of negotiating, advising and documenting real estate purchase, sales, leasing and financing transactions, in connection with both residential and commercial (hotel and resort, office building, golf course, condominium and raw land) assets located all over the world for clients from across the globe.

    Throughout my legal career, I have strived to develop and maintain a reputation for hard work, honesty and integrity, which I believe are the most important attributes that I can offer you, as your real estate agent. It would be my honor to have the opportunity to assist you with your real estate needs in Hawaii.

    By the way, if helpful, I am able to communicate with you in Japanese. My Japanese speaking is at a business level and I am able to read business level Japanese with no problems at all. I regret, however, that I do not feel comfortable writing complex business matters to you in the Japanese language.
