LUVA Real Estate is a full-service boutique brokerage based in Hawai‘i, offering a personalized approach to real estate across all property types and price points — from luxury estates to investment condos, vacation rentals, and first homes. Founded by professionals from the hospitality, fashion, and entertainment industries, LUVA blends white-glove service with authentic connection, bringing heart, expertise, and high standards to everything we do. We’re a place where clients feel truly cared for — and where agents are empowered to grow, thrive, and lead with purpose. Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or building your career in real estate, LUVA is where people and property connect.
Who We Are
LUVA Real Estate was founded with a simple but powerful vision: to create a real estate experience centered on people, integrity, and genuine care. In a fast-paced industry that too often prioritizes profit over people, LUVA was built to be different — a place where clients and agents alike feel truly seen, supported, and valued.
Our founders come from diverse professional backgrounds — from global entertainment with Cirque du Soleil to high fashion in New York with designers like Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren. Although their careers were rooted in the luxury world, they’ve always valued a grounded, family-oriented lifestyle. They chose to raise their two children in Holualoa, right here on the Big Island — a place that reflects their belief in balance, authenticity, and connection to community.
At LUVA, we strive to offer all the resources, expertise, and professionalism of a large corporate brokerage — but without sacrificing the personal touch. Our clients never feel rushed through a transaction, and our agents are never treated as just a number. We believe that real estate done right means focusing on quality over quantity, relationships over quotas, and long-term success over short-term gain.
With international reach, multilingual service, and a team of professionals who specialize in everything from ultra-luxury estates to first-time home purchases and investment properties, LUVA is proud to bring concierge-level real estate service to all price points and property types.
Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or growing your career in real estate, LUVA is more than a brokerage — it’s a community built on trust, purpose, and the spirit of aloha.

We Work as One
At LUVA, collaboration isn’t just a buzzword — it’s our way of doing business. Our Agents, Brokers, and Property Managers work closely together to provide a seamless, full-service real estate experience. Whether it’s managing an estate, guiding a first-time buyer, or navigating an international investment, we believe the best results come from trusted teamwork.
We Listen First
Real estate is more than a transaction — it’s personal. We recognize that buying or selling a home is often a major life event filled with emotion and complexity. That’s why we start by listening. We want to understand your goals, your concerns, and your vision — so we can guide you with clarity, care, and confidence from start to finish.
We Think Creatively
No two properties — or clients — are alike. We approach each relationship and situation with a tailored, thoughtful strategy, drawing on deep market knowledge and a willingness to think outside the box. Whether it’s marketing a unique home or finding off-market opportunities, adaptability and creativity are at the heart of our process.
