Sarah Baker

Sarah's love for adventure and storytelling is what drives her to help clients realize their own life's vision through real estate. Her love of life, family and helping people feeds naturally into finding a beautiful house to call home, or redesigning a home to make it fit her client's lifestyle. After having moved so many times, she loves a good house hunt and tries to live by the aloha spirit that made her fall in love with island life in the first place! Finding a home for a family that they can make cherished memories in and call HOME is everything.

Sarah fell into real estate much like we all do, as an investor. After buying her first condo at age 25, she caught the bug and realized the potential in owning. She has enjoyed being a landlord and renovating properties. With a love for problem solving and enhancing things to make them the best they can be on a budget, her eye for design continues to grow and define itself.

She grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota, received her degree from Arizona State University, lived and worked (a majority of them contract jobs) in Los Angeles, Tianjin, China, Naples, FL, Johannesburg, South Africa, and eventually San Diego for a number of years. There she worked for the World Trade Center Association, San Diego and NYK Logistics. She met her husband Jake, an Officer in the Navy and they eventually moved around the Pacific Rim.

Home is where the Navy sends you, and Hawaii is the perfect place to finally call home after 11 moves between 10 cities in the last 20 years. Sarah had the moving part down and has enjoyed planting roots over the past 8 years in Kailua.

Her best advice for clients,
‍

1. "Take some risks. Building a real estate portfolio is extremely beneficial to your financial security."

2. "Owning a home in Hawaii is a tangible dream!"

3. "Don't be afraid to do the uncomfortable financial work with your partner to make a plan, to see where you are and where you want to be financially. It's worth any argument(s) you may come across and you come out stronger in the end."

Sarah loves travel, beach time and live music! But most of all, time with her family, friends and doodles.
