Hawaii Life - Haleiwa

My love of Hawai‘i began during a college trip in 1997. I made the leap from the Pacific Northwest to the serene beaches of O‘ahu’s North Shore two years later. In 1999, at the age of 26, I earned my real estate license and I have since enjoyed a diverse, rewarding career in Hawai'i's enthralling real estate market. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding clients through an array of complex transactions: from subdividing and selling large vacant parcels of land, to collaborating on sales teams for high-rise developments—right up to penthouse level—and helping local families realize their dreams of buying plantation homes, reclaiming childhood spaces they played in as children. My professional journey has honed both keen insight and broad expertise, and I’ve been honored to be nominated multiple times for the prestigious Aloha ‘Āina REALTOR® Award, which recognizes exceptional service and professionalism in Hawai‘i’s real-estate community. hicentral.com+1 In addition, I hold designations as an international sales agent and a luxury-homes specialist. I also manage a curated portfolio of Hawai‘i vacation homes and long-term rental properties across the islands.

With a decade-long passion for real estate, I bring a wealth of dynamic knowledge and expertise to my current role at Hawai’i Life here on O’ahu. My focus is on single-family homes, vacation homes, investment opportunities, and property management. From personal experience, I know that well informed real estate choices can lead to a better life—whether it's acquiring your dream home, an investment in cash flowing rental properties, or efficiently managing your rental portfolio. When I think of the premier brokerage on the Hawaiian Islands, I think Hawai'i Life. When my husband Jordan and I decided to hang our real estate licenses with a brokerage, it was an obvious choice for us. I understand how important the right set of tools and marketing resources are in the realm of real estate. With Hawai’i Life, I have the most impressive local and global network at my fingertips, and with that, the means to turn my clients real estate aspirations into a reality. For a while, I was serving as the Head of Real Estate Growth at a tech company. Throughout my career, I have spearheaded Sales, Growth, Training, and Support initiatives at various high-growth startups. Graduating cum laude from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in Business-Economics and a minor in Finance and Accounting has provided me with a solid academic foundation. I have been deeply involved in real estate investment as the co-founder of a syndicated investment fund with my husband Jordan. Our mission is to assist everyday investors in generating passive income through real estate, particularly emphasizing long-distance single-family investments. Currently, our fund owns and operates 56 units across the nation. Outside the realm of real estate, business, and sales, I embrace the roles of a devoted mom and a yoga teacher and practitioner. Leading group classes and organizing surf and yoga retreats worldwide, I strongly advocate for a fulfilling life beyond the workplace, believing that personal fulfillment contributes to thriving success within professional spheres. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, ideas, or interests that you might have. I’d love to hear from you. Aloha, Emily

As a surfer and surfboard builder, I moved to the place I always dreamed of in 1999, the North Shore of Oahu. My fascination with real estate began in 1986, when my tenant/ landlord relationship began. But it wasn't until 2008 that I finally became a home owner. Today, my family and I truly enjoy everyday living in the most beautiful place on earth. Whether I am building a custom surfboard or helping you in or out of a property, it is my passion to deliver an amazing experience. Aloha, Kyle

I have been involved in Real Estate for over 15 years. Studying Real Estate Finance at Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business informed my decision to pursue a career in Real Estate. I have worked at one time or another in Commercial Real Estate, Property Management and most currently, Residential Sales on Oahu. I believe in one on one customer service and my goal is to consistently exceed my clients' expectations. Whether you are looking for an investment property, a new home or to move on from your current home, I am here to help you achieve your goals. As an active member of the National Association of Realtors, I have sat as treasurer on the Board of the North Shore Regional Group of Realtors and have completed my Realtors Green Designation. Originally from Florida, I have lived abroad and traveled extensively, collecting experiences that contribute to my Real Estate Career. My husband, Jesse Horton, is a gifted sculptor, hunter and captain. If we are not traveling on our sailboat you can find us surfing, free diving or body surfing. There's no place like home, and there's no place like Hawaii. Peer Reviews: "I am TRULY TRULY appreciative!! ...Please know I think the world of you.
