About Maria
Aloha, My family is fortunate to call Hawai‘i home. We’ve raised our two daughters here, and through their experiences, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the rich culture, sense of community, and unique spirit that make these islands so special. Over the past 25 years, I’ve lived across four continents and ten countries. This global journey has shaped my perspective and deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures and people. It’s also given me a strong sense of belonging wherever I go—and has allowed me to successfully build my own Investment and Real Estate portfolio. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of guiding fellow entrepreneurs and clients in developing their own portfolios. My passion lies in helping people find that perfect property—whether it’s a forever home, a vacation retreat, or a smart investment. Every home has its own story, and every client has their own dreams. My goal is to help match the two. Buying or selling a home is both a financial and emotional journey. With a combination of global experience and local insight, I’m here to guide you every step of the way—helping you navigate the process with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re looking for your dream home or a strategic investment, I look forward to helping you explore the possibilities. Mahalo Alice Aloha, Maria Alice

About Tehani
Aloha, I am Tehani Sekona, born and raised on the Island of Hawaiʻi. I am a proud Native Hawaiian that calls Hawaiʻi home and I carry a deep connection to the ʻāina, our communities, and the rich heritage of Native Hawaiian culture. As a REALTOR®, I bring a combination of local expertise, professionalism, experience, and personalized service to every client I represent. I understand that real estate is not simply about buying or selling a property—it is about lifestyle, legacy, investment, and finding a place that truly feels like home. Whether assisting clients in finding their forever home, identifying a meaningful investment opportunity, or positioning a property for a successful sale, I provide thoughtful guidance and attentive service throughout every stage of the journey. I believe exceptional real estate service is built on trust, discretion, strong communication, attention to detail, and a genuine understanding of my clients’ goals. My lifelong connection to Hawaiʻi provides me with an authentic perspective that goes beyond the property itself. I understand the value of our island communities, the importance of ʻāina, and the unique lifestyle that makes Hawaiʻi unlike anywhere else in the world. It is a privilege to share that perspective with clients who are looking to make Hawaiʻi part of their story. Outside of real estate, family and community remain at the heart of my life. I enjoy exploring the island with my family through hiking, surfing, beach days, CrossFit, working alongside my husband on projects, and helping on our ʻohana ranch. I’m also a proud mom who loves supporting my children from the sidelines. Giving back is equally important to me. From volunteering at community meals and food drives to coaching my son’s U8 soccer team, I believe in investing in the people and communities that make Hawaiʻi home. I am passionate about representing Hawaiʻi with integrity and sharing the beauty, culture, and spirit of our island. Whether you are seeking a private retreat, a family home, an investment opportunity, or preparing to move forward into your next chapter, I am committed to delivering an elevated real estate experience grounded in professionalism, local knowledge, and aloha. Real estate is personal. Your home is your legacy. My commitment is to help you navigate the journey with confidence, care, and exceptional service. Aloha, Tehani

About Noelani
I was raised in Waimea on the Big Island and graduated from Honokaa high school. I started my career in Real Estate at the age of 20, working for a local mortgage broker here in town. Starting as a temporary receptionist, I was quickly hired full time and learned the entire mortgage business from origination to closing. I loved helping families build their dream homes and specialized in land and construction loans. I built my first home at the age of 22 and another at age 26. After the market crashed in 2009, I shifted gears and started my own cleaning company, cleaning vacation rentals in the Puako area. After working with the property managers, handymen, landscapers, guests and homeowners, it organically happened that I started to manage my own vacation rentals. In 2017, I decided to get my real estate sales license and bring all my experience together. I've found my knowledge and background has helped me provide high quality service to my clientele. I raised two beautiful children here, where we all enjoy paddling for Kawaihae Canoe Club. I love the ocean and all it provides. I enjoy hunting, fishing, diving and spending time with friends and family. Aloha, Noelani E

About Leeana
Whether you’re buying or selling a home on Hawaiʻi Island, you deserve an agent who listens, communicates clearly, and understands that this is more than a real estate transaction. You can expect a thoughtful, hands-on approach built around what matters most to you. From understanding current market conditions and preparing a home for sale to evaluating properties and negotiating an offer, my goal is to make sure you have the information, strategy, and honest guidance you need to make confident decisions. With 8 years of experience and more than $60 million in closed sales, I bring strong Big Island market knowledge, careful attention to detail, and a data-driven approach to every transaction. Just as importantly, I believe great representation means being responsive, transparent, and there for you from our first conversation through closing and beyond. My 44+ five-star Zillow reviews reflect what I value most in this business: earning my clients’ trust, delivering strong representation, and creating relationships that last well beyond the sale.

Excellent Real Estate Agent with Great Knowledge of the Big Island!

Excellent Real Estate Agent with Great Knowledge of the Big Island!

We had a great home buying experience with Alice (Maria) and we would highly recommend her! She was very responsive to our questions and is very knowledgeable about the different communities and regions of the Big Island. She also had a great understanding of the current market and we are happy with the negotiated sales price of the home. In addition to her knowledge of the housing market, Alice has been a great resource for general information regarding the Island, answering our questions on everything from area farmer's markets, to beaches, to restaurants, etc. Overall, our experience was great and we do not have any complaints.

We are beyond grateful to have had Tehani Sekona as our realtor throughout the journey of purchasing

We are beyond grateful to have had Tehani Sekona as our realtor throughout the journey of purchasing a first home for our daughter and son-in-law. Tehani supported us and helped us feel confident as buying a home can be very overwhelming. She was attentive, responsive and she was there for us whenever we needed reassurance. Tehani is an amazing relator and we wholehearted recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Selling a house from off-island sounded like a fast track to a nervous breakdown, but then Tehani stepped in. She staged our property so beautifully that we briefly questioned why we were even selling it. Thanks to her attention to detail and pure expertise, the entire process was shockingly stress-free. We came away with all our goals met, a sold house, and our sanity completely intact. Tehani is an absolute rockstar!

My all time, absolute FAVORITE realtor!

My all time, absolute FAVORITE realtor!

This format limits reviews to 2,000 characters, and even that wouldn’t be nearly enough to capture everything that makes Maria Acatrinei my favorite realtor of all time. In my 74 years I’ve worked with more real estate agents than I can count, yet Maria stands head and shoulders above every single one of them—honestly. She is incredibly competent, razor-sharp smart, warm, and genuinely personable. She’s also deeply intuitive and knowledgeable, the kind of professional who truly listens, never pushes her own agenda, and is completely driven by her client’s goals. Maria is a truly unique realtor whom I cannot recommend highly enough. If I could, I’d work with her from here to Kingdom Come.

Professional and an expert agent

It was super helpful for me to work with Maria. She knew everyone in the industry to help me buy my first home in Hawaii. I usually like to be hands on, but it’s much easier to know you can trust someone else to get the job done. I quickly learned to let Maria’s experience to lead me to a great home. I got the best rate and no issues at closing. Maria knows how to handle all ups in downs in real estate and I would use her services again.
