Born in Honolulu and raised in Hawaii Kai, Liah has an in-depth knowledge, understanding and appreciation for O'ahu, its culture and neighborhoods. Liah spent her upbringing dancing with Halau Hula ‘O Namakahulali for many years, outrigger canoe paddling throughout high school at Magic Island on Saturdays and playing lacrosse at Kapiolani Park on Sundays. Liah is an alumni of the Honolulu Waldorf School, which she attended Pre-K through High School. She still holds strong ties to the local and international Waldorf community. Liah graduated from Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington cum laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and a minor in Environmental Science. All of this while playing women’s varsity lacrosse in the icy cold winter and spring of northeast Washington State. After graduating from college, she moved to Portland, Oregon where her family relocated and started a real estate investing and home-remodeling company with her mom. After fully renovating and selling several 100+ year old Portland homes in a year and a half, Liah quickly grew an in-depth understanding of home construction, the material supply chain, remodeling, refurbishing, design and architecture. Buying, remodeling and selling several properties before the age of 24, made getting her real estate license a natural next step. Liah’s drive and passion for real estate has brought her back to the islands where she has partnered with long-time family friend Julianna Garris. Liah’s organized and thoughtful nature, along with her experience in home remodeling and her partnership with Julianna Garris makes her an excellent person to have in your corner. When Liah’s schedule permits, she enjoys hiking, the ocean, skiing, traveling, taking Japanese language classes, playing on the Wahine Lacrosse team and spending time with family and friends. Aloha, Liah L

I have extensive experience working with international sellers, investors and clients with an interest in Hawaiʻi’s superior properties. Most recently, I represented Honolulu’s billion-dollar luxury development Park Lane Ala Moana – considered one of the most affluent and successful developments in the Pacific, with their exclusive sales brokerage. I’m a native of Honolulu, from a large real estate family which does business on every island. I’m uniquely positioned with an innate familiarity of the Hawaiian Islands and our unparalleled landscape of real estate. As an investor myself, I have seen real estate prove to be a lucrative investment choice – and with clear understanding and collaborative strategy, nowhere is this more demonstratively promising than in Hawaii. In addition to Real Estate, I spent the last twelve years as an entrepreneur and Hawaii restaurant owner. The skill sets I developed as a business owner, coupled with my real estate knowledge, provides valuable resources and insights for my clients. Second to my family, the Hawaiian Islands and our unique way of life hold utmost importance to me. The culture, tradition and natural beauty are treasures that I love to share with clients and investors who may be new to the islands. Hawaii’s most sought after properties rarely change hands - and when they do, they are often sold off market. I connect my clients with these discrete yet coveted opportunities through trust, teamwork and my valued network.
