Aloha, I'm Akemi!
With 24 years on the Big Island and a deep care for people, I guide clients through buying and selling real estate with clarity, strategy, and heart.
Born and raised in Japan, I bring a strong sense of genuine hospitality to every client relationship.
Many tell me my attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and follow-through go beyond expectations, even by Japanese standards. I don’t just respond. I anticipate and take action with your goals in mind.
I’ve raised three sons here and currently live in Waikoloa Village, with deep local knowledge of nearby resort areas like Waikoloa Beach, Mauna Lani, and Mauna Kea. My children attended school and played sports in Kona, so I’m closely connected to communities across the island, something that helps both relocating families and second-home buyers alike.
🏡 For Buyers
I listen closely to what my clients say, and even more closely to what they mean. My goal is never to sell, but to help you discover what’s truly right for you.
Whether you’re looking for land, a condo, a home, or a unique property like a coffee farm or B&B, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence. I make sure important risks and opportunities aren’t missed, and support you fully throughout the entire process.
If something doesn’t feel right, I dig deep. I don’t hesitate to ask hard questions or take a stand if it helps protect you.
🏠 For Sellers
As a seller’s agent, I offer honest market insight and thoughtful pricing strategy.
When clients follow my recommendations, their properties consistently sell quickly and at strong prices.
My portfolio includes record-breaking sales in condominium and new construction communities, as well as unique properties like a #1-rated Bed & Breakfast in Kailua-Kona!
If you’re looking for someone who leads with care, sees what others might miss, and works with integrity from start to finish, it would be my honor to support your real estate journey on the Big Island.
Mahalo!
