About Evan

A Neighbor Helping Neighbors Stay Home

I grew up on Oʻahu and I've watched too many local families get priced out of the island they love. That's what drives me — not sales volume, but keeping our community intact.

Since 2018 I've helped hundreds of Kamaʻāina families navigate Oʻahu's market — from first-time buyers using HHFDC programs to homeowners protecting their equity with the right exemptions. I share everything I know, for free, on YouTube and in this newsletter.

When I'm not talking real estate, you'll find me at the beach or cheering on the Rainbow Warriors. Let's talk story.
