When these Kāne‘ohe homeowners began interviewing agents, they had a clear goal: sell for around $1.8M and move on to their next great adventure. The home had incredible bones with sweeping ocean and mountain views, a sparkling waterfall pool, and a spacious 10,000 sq ft lot. But it hadn’t been updated since the early 2000s.
Inside, yellow walls, mismatched flooring, and dated fixtures made the layout feel disconnected. During our consultation, we shared the truth with empathy: based on current comps and condition, the home’s market value sat closer to the high $1.6Ms. But with vision and the right improvements we knew we could help them reach, and even exceed, their goal.

That’s when we introduced our Strategic Home Improvement Plan (SHIP) with three customized options designed to maximize their return. Our clients chose to go all in with a partial remodel, and our Island Living Homes design + project management team took the reins.
Over the next several weeks, we managed every detail of the transformation:
- Replaced mismatched flooring with new luxury vinyl plank for a seamless flow.
- Freshened every room with bright, neutral paint to modernize and unify the home.
- Installed designer vanities, statement lighting, and new fixtures throughout.
- Curated tilework that brought a spa-like, resort feel to the bathrooms.
- Used our signature ILH color palette to create continuity and calm.

The result? A breathtaking Kāne‘ohe retreat that felt like a brand-new home.
When it came time to launch, we wanted the marketing to match the magic. We hosted an unforgettable sunset Pau Hana open house overlooking the Kāne‘ohe Bay Yacht Club during a bulkhead race complete with food, drinks, and music that turned showings into a lifestyle experience.
The energy was incredible and the buyers fell in love.
The result? 10 offers and a $400K over-list price.
From bold vision to beautiful execution, this sale is proof of what happens when strategy, design, and teamwork come together with aloha.
