About Cherie
In 1979, while living on the island of Kauai, I decided to enter the field of real estate. Fast forward 40 years and I can unequivocally say that it was one of the best and most life-changing decisions of my life. My small beginning on Kauai became an adventure of a lifetime! As a Broker-in-Charge and full-time Realtor, I continue to serve my clients and community with the same passion and enthusiasm that set me on this path many years ago. It's been quite a ride and one that I expect to continue for years to come! I live, work, and play in the beautiful community of Hawaii Kai, and I count myself fortunate to reside within walking distance to Sandy's Beach, the Hawaii Kai golf course, and the Koko Crater Botanical Gardens. All three of our children grew up playing sports, and most of our Saturdays were spent on neighborhood soccer fields, basketball courts, and baseball bleachers. Our roots go down deep here, and I love this marina-front community we call home. As empty-nesters, my husband and I now enjoy quiet dinners, good books, beach days, and serving in our local church.

About Kristeen
With eleven years in real estate and many successful transactions to date, I bring a wealth of client service experience to my real estate profession. Having spent 20 years as a flight attendant with Aloha Airlines, I approach my clients just as I did my passengers, treating them as welcome guests and friends – while sharing my knowledge of Hawaii to help them make the best decisions possible. Originally from California, I’ve been a Hawaii Kai resident for 43 years and know the inventory very well, though I also often sell properties in Hawaii Kai to Ewa Beach and everything in between. I love knowing that my listings have never looked better because I’ve worked in collaboration with the homeowner to show it in its best light. My favorite part of my work is finding the perfect home or upgrade for my clients. Seeing the smile on their face when they find their new home is so exciting, and I love closing and handing them the keys to their new home. My real estate philosophy is simple: to provide each client with a level of service and integrity that I would give to members of my own family. My goal is to find both buyers and sellers the best possible deal on the finest property that meets all of their needs in the most reasonable amount of time.

About Kyle
With nine years of real estate experience and over $37 million in sales, I bring a steady hand and a strong foundation to my work here at Hawai‘i Life. Originally from the gulf Coast, now proudly calling O'ahu home. I grew up in a small town in Louisiana, where I worked in my dad’s forestry business, an upbringing that taught me the importance of hard work, patience, and respect for the land. Those values still guide me today and align closely with the Hawaiian principle of mālama ʻāina. Over the years, I’ve built my real estate career on trust, follow-through, and lasting relationships. With more than 230 successful transactions and a business that runs mostly on referrals, I pride myself on helping people feel supported and cared for through every step of the process. Outside of real estate, I enjoy hiking, gardening, working with animals, and keeping bees. I also enjoy exploring the island with my rescue dog, Loki, and learning more about native plants and sustainable living. If you’re planning a move to the island from the mainland or abroad, I’ve done it and I’d be honored to help guide you before, during, and after the sale, all the way down to getting your dog and your car here. And if you already live on island, it would be a privilege to assist your ʻohana. For me, real estate isn’t just about the sale, it’s about helping people love where they live, every day. Aloha, Kyle

About Ada
I was born in Hong Kong when it was still a British Colony, and our family moved to Vancouver Island off the west coast of Canada when I was a kid! Little did I know about North America. I graduated from Cowichan High School, and in a couple of years I moved south to Hawaii. I went to UH, and graduated with a Fashion Merchandising degree, I worked as a department manager, a buyer and then a wholesaler! Since I had a lot sales experience under my belt, I then decided to try my hand at real estate. Now the rest is history. I have been doing real estate for the last 30 years. I find it challenging, and rewarding. It is totally gratifying when you are able to help someone make a decision of a lifetime; they will appreciate you for life (a long time)! In the meantime, my goal in life outside of my real estate career, is my family, my grandson who is the apple in my eyes. As of Feb 2, 2020, this 22-month old said to me "love Nana"! That makes everything worthwhile. My passion is cooking. When I'm immersed in my cooking, I find great pleasure especially when my food is done unconventionally and turned out perfect! Travelling has been a fun goal for my husband and I since we have been married (17 wonderful years). Pete has visited part of all 7 continents and I have been to 5. Our favorite continent at this time is no doubt "Africa". I would go back there in a heart beat! I also love flowers, and I grow orchids in my backyard. And it is because the love of flowers, I have become interested in IKEBANA, which is a Japanese flower arrangement class. It gives me immense pleasure especially when my sensei approves of my arrangement! Also, I recently enrolled in piano classes which I enjoy and they help to de-stress my daily real estate work. Learning the Chinese instrument called an Erhu is my new thing now, I'll tell you more in a few months! I do try to apply my interests into practice. I cook for the homeless for our church once or twice a month. I put my flower arrangement into "Open House" to enhance the look for my Seller's property. I developed a lot of our travelling photos for staging of our clients home. Last but not least, because I love life, I love people and someone up above wants me to share my love and passion of life with people whom have very short term to live. I have been a volunteer in one of the Hospice Organization for the last 5-6 years, and that gives me satisfaction beyond words.

About Alexandra
Hi there! My name is Alex and I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve always loved Hawaii's natural beauty and lifestyle and made the decision to move to Oahu three years ago. After a successful career at a leading fashion brand, I decided to pursue my passion for real estate. My exposure to real estate started when I was young, as I watched my family invest in properties and build a successful real estate portfolio. My experience in the fashion industry gave me a keen eye for design and an understanding of the importance of creating curated spaces. My family background is a rich tapestry of different cultures from Tahiti, France, and Brazil with a Chinese heritage. Growing up in a multicultural and multilingual environment has given me an ability to connect with people from all over the world and a deep appreciation for our culturally diverse islands. As a real estate agent, I am dedicated to providing my clients with the highest level of service and personalized attention. I understand that buying or selling a property is a significant life event, and I am committed to making the process as seamless as possible. In my free time, I enjoy exploring all that Hawaii has to offer. I love surfing, hiking, and practicing yoga/pilates to stay active. I also enjoy cooking, dancing Ori Tahiti, and socializing with friends and family. Contact me today at 808-404-5558 or at alexchow@hawaiilife.com to learn more about how I can assist you with your real estate needs. Mahalo for your interest. Aloha, Alexandra

The Best Real Estate Agent Ever!

The Best Real Estate Agent Ever!

Kristeen is truly a wonderful real estate agent! She is incredibly helpful, experienced, and attentive to even the smallest details. Above all, she is one of the kindest and nicest people you’ll ever meet! We always felt completely comfortable asking questions, and she was consistently responsive and available whenever we needed her. This was our 2nd time working with Kristeen, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. She made the entire experience smooth, easy, and enjoyable. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate agent!

Professional agent who really knows her trade.

Professional agent who really knows her trade.

Admittedly, our vacant land sale was going to be difficult. Vacant land is never easy, but on top of that, it was 3 CPR'd units, and in the SMA. But Cherie, along with her partner Jon Mann, navigated this sale over 8 months, and finally found the right buyer who can see the building through. I highly recommend!

A completely stress-free process from an incredible communictor!

A completely stress-free process from an incredible communictor!

Cherie was extremely approachable and available when my wife and I were purchasing our apartment. It was our first time buying a home, so the whole process felt frightening, like any small mistake we made could throw a wrench in the entire thing and ruin our chances of getting a home. Cherie was so good at letting us know everything we had to do at every step of the way, and was very prompt via text or email responding to any questions we had. She came with us to visit the property during the inspection, another first for us, and made sure all the proper questions were asked and information was exchanged, including things we never would have thought to ask for. It was a huge relief for us to have a woman so knowledgeable and trained in the field backing us up!

We can't say enough good things about Cherie Tsukamoto and her colleague Kaety Enos

We can't say enough good things about Cherie Tsukamoto and her colleague Kaety Enos

We can't say enough good things about Cherie Tsukamoto and her colleague Kaety Enos. We had to sell a condo at a difficult time from both a market and personal standpoint. The sellers were two trusts, each with multiple trustees, most of whom lived on the mainland. Cherie and Kaety were knowledgable, highly competent and efficient and very savvy about market conditions and how to best spiff up and present our property. They kept the many sellers informed and on task, and answered texts, phone calls and emails promptly. Through no one's fault, the first offer fell through, but they calmed our anxieties, guided us through the next steps and got our property sold quickly thereafter. We can't thank them enough and if you are a prospective seller or buyer you won't do better!

I highly recommend this team.

My family had the pleasure of working with Cherie Tsukamoto and Kaety Enos Tsukamoto on the recent sale of our family home. While interviewing Cherie and Kaety, we found that they were more experienced in Hawai'i real estate than other realtors we had spoken with. Cherie and Kaety staged the home and marketed it with videos and drone photos They kept us informed at all steps and worked with the buyer's agent. Their hard work resulted in the sale of our home. I highly recommend this team. Jennifer Taddai

Professionally, they were outstanding.

Professionally, they were outstanding.

I can’t imagine having gone through the process of purchasing my first home with anyone other than Cherie and Kaety!! From day one, they made what could have been a stressful process feel exciting, manageable, and honestly a lot of fun. We quickly developed a great rapport, and there was always plenty of laughter and banter during our interactions. By the end of the process, talking with them had become such a regular part of my day that I was genuinely a little sad when the sale was completed. Professionally, they were outstanding. Cherie brought an incredible depth of experience, calm confidence, and negotiation skill to every situation. She fought hard for me when it mattered, navigated challenges with ease, and was instrumental in helping me secure my dream home. Katie was equally amazing—organized, responsive, kind, and always on top of every detail. She is also incredibly personable and fun to be around! Together they worked so seamlessly that despite being a two-agent team, it felt like working with one person who always had my back. What sets them apart is how much they care. At no point did I feel like just another client. They treated me like family, celebrated every win with me, and were genuinely invested in helping me find the right home. I will always be grateful that they were the team that helped me buy my first house, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Nicholas P. Spanos, MD
