Hawaii Life - Kilauea

I've been in real estate for 20+ years across three markets — Las Vegas, Monterey County, and now Kauaʻi, where I've been since 2017. I hold the Certified Residential Specialist® (CRS) designation, a credential fewer than 3% of REALTORS® carry, and I've led top-producing teams in two states before planting roots here. What I love about Kauaʻi's market is that it's genuinely unlike anywhere else. Leaseholds, conservation zoning, HARPTA withholding, vacation rental permits, cesspool regulations — buyers and sellers here run into things that don't exist on the mainland. I spend my days in this data and on this island so you don't have to navigate it alone. After hundreds of transactions across three states, here's what I know for sure: the best outcomes come from being well-informed, not well-pressured. I dig into the comparable sales, study the market daily, and tell you what I'm actually seeing — whether that's what you want to hear or not. My goal is to make sure you have everything you need to make the right call for your situation. When I'm not working, you'll probably find me on the golf course, in the water snorkeling with sea turtles, surfing, or hiking somewhere I haven't been yet. Kauaʻi has a way of making you want to explore. If you're thinking about buying or selling on Kauaʻi, I'd love to talk.

With more than 20 years of experience in Kaua‘i’s luxury real estate market, I serve as a trusted advisor to high-net-worth buyers and sellers navigating complex, high-value transactions. Raised in Hawai‘i and of part Hawaiian descent, I have a deep respect for the land, what it represents, and a nuanced understanding of Kaua‘i’s most exclusive properties. My career is defined by strategic property positioning, thoughtful negotiation, and a proven track record in premier sales. I am a graduate of Kamehameha Schools and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from BYU–Utah, with additional studies in Jordan, Israel, and Egypt. I began my professional career as a television news reporter for CBS in Honolulu, where I developed the communication skills, market awareness, and storytelling ability that now set my real estate practice apart. That background allows me to anticipate market shifts and present properties in a way that resonates locally and globally. I later transitioned into real estate, where I have become a recognized leader in Hawai‘i’s high-end market. I appeared in the premiere episode of HGTV’s Hawai‘i Life, helping to bring international exposure to Kaua‘i’s most exceptional properties. Today, I am a partner in one of the island’s most successful real estate teams, representing buyers and sellers in many of Kaua‘i’s most significant transactions. Together, my partner and I have closed over $1 billion in career sales, with more than $400 million in gross sales over the past five years alone. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me in the water. I’m an avid surfer, and in the summer I enjoy fishing with my husband or exploring the island through hiking and time with my family. I have a deep connection to nature and the ocean — it’s where my passion lives and where my heart feels most at home.

I literally have Kaua’i in my soul. When I first settled on Kaua’i in 1971, I lived in a treehouse with a small community of surfers drawn to Kaua’i by amazing surf breaks and seclusion. My love of, and connection to nature, inspired me to call Kaua’i home for the past 53 years. Although I have traveled the world, my heart has always been on the Garden Island, embraced by Kaua’i's unparalleled beauty and rural lifestyle. My five children were born and raised on the North Shore of Kaua’i. When I married my husband Rick (an amazing sailor and overall water man) and settled on a secluded beachfront property at Pila'a on Kaua’i's North Shore, living completely off-the-grid, I knew that I had "arrived". We recently sold our beachfront home and purchased a Pu'u Po'a condo in Princeville. Our unit is elegant and homey. The bluff front location offers epic ocean, mountain, sunset and surf views. We can walk to the beach and the 1 Hotel within minutes. We truly feel that we have found our forever home! After 3 decades of being a licensed Realtor (Sales)I am now fortunate enough to have one of my daughters Savannah Kinney savannahkinney@hawaiilife.com as my beautiful and amazing assistant! Born and raised on Kaua'i , she has everything it takes to wow you! We look forward to serving you! I have been involved in marketing for my entire adult life. With over 140 million dollars in "public" real estate sales on Kaua'i. I love where I live and I love my job. With a wealth of local knowledge, I share deep insight and history of Kaua'i and it's unique lifestyle. I embrace every aspect of assisting buyers and sellers with their real estate transactions. Our service does not end when a deal is completed. We remain at your service, whatever you may need, whenever you need us. From France to Thailand and Guatemala to Kuala Lumpur, I have traveled and sailed the world.But of all the beautiful and wonderful adventures I have experienced, I will tell you flat out, there is no place that compares to Kaua’i. Our entire family loves to sail, swim, snorkel, surf, beachcomb, snow ski, snowboard and practice yoga,. I love to play the guitar, piano, ukulele and spend time with family and friends. Life on Kaua'i is the best! We are loyal, hardworking, and nurturing. As realtors, Savannah and I bring honesty, integrity, a vast knowledge of Kaua’i, unrelenting service and a strategically focused approach to buying and selling real estate to each and every client. We look forward to hearing from you. You can reach me at 808-639-8313 or amy@hawaiilife.com Me ke aloha pumehana Amy Aloha, Amy

My clients describe working with me as equal parts concierge, confidante, and closing-day hype woman. Whether you’re buying your first condo or your third oceanfront estate, I treat every transaction with the same care—and a little Southern hospitality. Since earning my license in 2017, I’ve sold nearly $40M in Kaua‘i real estate and had the privilege of training under some of the island’s most respected luxury brokers. My approach is simple: blend strategy with heart, expertise with humor, and negotiation with grace. I serve clients island-wide, but the North Shore is home base for me, my husband, and our three little ones. I have deep experience in vacation rentals, first-time buyers, and high-end properties, but what really drives me is connection—matching great people with great homes. With a background in marketing, I lean on storytelling, digital strategy, and creative deal-making to deliver results that feel effortless (even when they’re not). Before real estate, I worked in environmental marketing for the Department of Energy, saving one Superfund site at a time. After a busy few years in Memphis, I came to Kaua‘i for what was supposed to be a short break. One week later, I drove past the “Grateful Waterfall,” whispered that I was grateful to call this island home—and I never left. I’m a proud University of Tennessee graduate (Go Vols!) and a southern girl at heart who found her forever home in Hawai‘i. When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me playing pickleball, chasing my kids at the beach, or scouting our next Kaua‘i adventure. I love what I do, I love where I live, and I’m honored to be your first friend on the island. Aloha, Christian E

I bring together real estate, residential design, and deep Kaua‘i knowledge to help buyers and sellers make confident, well-informed decisions. For more than two decades, I’ve worked closely with Kaua‘i homes, land, neighborhoods, and lifestyles — not only as a REALTOR Broker, but also through my residential design work with Design Kaua‘i. That dual perspective helps my clients understand not just the details of the transaction, but how a property lives, how it may be improved, what its potential may be, and how it fits the life they want to create. Whether I’m helping a seller position their property thoughtfully in the market or helping a buyer understand location, value, condition, and possibility, I bring a calm, consultative approach rooted in listening, clarity, and care. With a lifelong connection to homes, design, and real estate, I understand that buying or selling property is both practical and personal. My goal is to make the process feel informed, steady, and well-guided from beginning to end. Kaua‘i is more than a market — it is a way of life. I’m always glad to share my insight into neighborhoods, properties, lifestyle, and the subtle details that make each part of the island unique. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply watching the Kaua‘i market, I’m always glad to be a trusted resource. Aloha, Glenn
