Kama’aina Realtor
Originally from Oahu I have lived between Honolulu and Kona since 1967.
Met the world at Kaiser hospital on Oahu where the Hawaii Prince Hotel in Waikiki now grows high in the sky. I spent half of my childhood growing up in Lanikai on the windward side of Oahu and my other half in Makiki on the Honolulu side. I attended Le Jardin Pre-School, Lanikai Elementary, Nuuanu Elementary and La Pietra the Hawaii School for Girls 7-12th. Went on to college at Marymount in LA for one year missed Hawaii so badly begged my parents to come home! Attended UH Hilo and finished at The University of Hawaii at Manoa. Completed my studies at UH Manoa in Psychology and Economics.
My parents who recently celebrated 57 years of marriage continue to split their time living in Kona and Honolulu. My Father Bill Kraft managed airports for the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation including the Hilo airport and the Honolulu International Airport. He started back in the 1950’s and retired in the 80’s. My Mother taught kindergarten for over 33 years with the State of Hawaii. She taught in Laupahoehoe and Hilo on the Big Island and Lanikai and Nuuanu elementary on Oahu. I am fortunate enough to say my Mom was my kindergarten teacher at Lanikai Elementary! I have one brother Robby who lives on East side here on the Big Island with his wife and my two nephews. Rob graduated Punahou High School with President Obama just one class behind him.
Love love love ocean sports especially boogie boarding, body surfing, snokeling, sailing, and surfing! Community service is huge for me. I am currently serving as the Director of Community Service for the Rotary Club of Kona 2009-2011. I love taking long walks, playing volleyball and basketball, keeping up with the jones with social and media networking, reading, computers, gardening, and blogging. Here is a picture of my cute puppy RUBI:
Hawaii is a very small place where many people know oneanother island to island. Referrals are a huge part of my success in this business. Honesty and integrity are just a fraction of what I share with each of my clients along with a very strong work ethic. Putting the client’s needs first utilizing my range of experience and knowledge, combined with a a huge amount of of service and Aloha gives me great satisfaction that I can help my clients make sound and profitable real estate investments.
