I moved to Hawaii on a whim in 1966 and never looked back. Although I was born in New York, and NYC will always be in my heart, I love my adopted homeplace, our wonderful Hawaii. My loyalty is here, I'd choose to live nowhere else and am honored to be Kama'aina. I'm married, have three grown children, all Hawaii-born, two grandchildren and two cats (just two at the moment; I'm always open to one more). It's great to both live and work here in Kailua. Besides being a Realtor, I'm a writer and the author of the only book in print specifically about Hawaii real estate, "How to Buy and Sell Your Home in Hawaii" (see more below). For fun, I write murder mysteries. I also enjoy painting, needlework, many different kinds of arts and crafts and participating in my 8-year-old granddaughter's school and sports activities. We've lived in the same house for more than 25 years, renovating and enlarging it as needed for our family. It no longer resembles its original self and I've learned a whole lot about fixing up houses in the process.
