Agent Details

Meet Kele

A Big Island native, Kele understands the precious gift of living in Hawaii, with its unrivaled beauty, tropical weather, cultural diversity, and the spirit of aloha which sets it apart from anywhere else in the world.
 
Long surrounded by real estate, and with a 20-year background in construction and development, Kele is passionate about the business and about helping her clients succeed. Her industry experience has been robust, beginning in 2006 with a small boutique firm, to her current place with Hawaii Life Mauna Kea Realty, a leading industry brokerage. Her varied experience will serve you, whether you’re looking to buy or sell vacant land, a starter home, or a luxury oceanfront estate. Kele has worked with a diverse clientele and sold the gamut of property types on the Kona-Kohala Coast.
 
She enjoys working with Hawaii locals as well as people from around the world, seeking a permanent home or investment here in the islands. Whether you are relocating to Hawaii from another country or simply moving across town, she is dedicated to making your goals her own. Her lifelong area residency, contacts, and professional network leveraged with her client dedication and enthusiasm ensure satisfied clients and referrals.
 
Described by others to have a kind and calming energy, Kele has been known to consummate even the most difficult of deals while remaining firm and perseverant in negotiations. Listening and asking questions are key components to tailoring her approach to each client's individual needs. With the utmost attention to detail and dedication, she will guide you through the process so the search or sale is exciting, not daunting.
 
Outside of work, Kele has a strong commitment to family and community- evidenced by years of service to her church, also hosting weekly meetings where women can come for support and encouragement. She is still happily married to her high school sweetheart and has three beautiful children. In recent years, Kele developed an insatiable love for canoe paddling. If she’s not working for you, it is likely you will find her in the ocean.
