Jeanna had kept me informed about the prospects of buying a home on the big island. She’s incredibly knowledgeable on lava zones and the impact on home insurance. The assistance she’s given at every step has been amazing. Whether it was to learn about our catchment system or general contractors to use, Jeanna had reliable people to share. Thought it took two years for me to move to Hawaii, Jeanna and I would find time to look at homes. Once my wife and I relocated, we had found and financed our home with in 6 weeks. Her team sets the bar. Thank you for everything.

I had the pleasure of working with Leeana Runningbear on the sale of my Hawaii home, and she exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, Leeana was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable about the local market.She made what could have been a very difficult and stressful process smooth and straightforward. Her attention to detail was exceptional, and she always anticipated potential issues before they arose. Communication was seamless—she kept me informed at every step, which gave me peace of mind throughout the process.What really set Leeana apart was her ability to balance professionalism with genuine care. She understood the challenges of my situation and went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled properly. The end result was a successful closing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.I would highly recommend Leeana to anyone buying or selling in Hawaii. She is the kind of agent you can trust completely—her expertise, responsiveness, and dedication truly stand out.—Michael J. Wistock
