I am Kendra Powell. I would like to say Mahalo for working with me to find your new home and as
such I want to share a bit of my life with you. After graduating from college at the University of
Houston with a Fine Arts Degree, I began investing in Real Estate in the Houston area. I negotiated
over 100 personal transactions in about 10 years. I have experience with all types of properties,
including single family and multi family homes, townhomes and condominiums. I learned first hand
how to renovate and remodel these properties, doing much of the work myself. During this time, I met
and eventually married my husband. We combined or talents and companies; and for the next 10
years, we ran our construction and remodeling company together. We also opened a natural gas
standby generator sales, installation and service company. In our hearts, however, we were feeling
that our time in Houston was ending and that we needed to move our growing family to Hawaii. So,
we closed our construction company, sold our remaining property and made the move to the Big
Island.
I decided that Real Estate would be an ideal fit as I had so much experience with buying and selling
property already. With extensive knowledge of negotiating contracts, buyer and seller needs,
relationship management and customer service, I firmly believe my past experience gives me
valuable insight into the needs of both Buyers and Sellers and has taught me the traits, ethics and
skills to be a great Realtor. So, upon arrival to the Big Island I obtained my Realtors license and
spent the first 8 years working with and learning from an amazing company. Once we were ready to
create another business for ourselves, my husband and I partnered with Chris Webster and opened
Hawai’i Estates where we continue helping clients both locally, nationally and internationally.
In my spare time, I love to hike, swim and generally be active. I volunteer at my daughters’ school,
help with the Wounded Warrior organization, serve on the Grievance Committee for the Board of
Realtors and spend as much time with my family enjoying all that Hawaii has to offer.
As your Realtor, I will strive to exceed your expectations, utilizing the latest in state of the art
technology while focusing on personal service that is second to none. So, whether you are looking to
purchase your first home in Hawaii, a retirement home, an investment property or sell your Hawaii
property, my goal is to help you achieve your goals.
With warmest Aloha, Kendra Powell
