     Bev Giza, R(S), GRI, SFR - (808) 960-7198 - www.BeverlyGiza.com
Originally hailing from the eastern seaboard , Beverly Giza tells it like it is: "the first time I set foot in Hawaii I felt like I had arrived home." After receiving her BS in Geology from Mount Holyoke College , Bev made it a priority to return "home" to Hawaii, earning her Master of Science degree in Geology and Geophysics from UH Manoa . "Lucky you live Hawaii" Bev would tell herself as she mapped a large part of the geology of the leeward side of Kohala Mountain on the Big Island for her thesis and planned her eventual return. Worked in mining and petroleum geology for years in Wyoming, Arizonan, and Georgia – something Bev did before finally returning home to the Big Island in 2002. Positioned as the Kohala Mountain expert, Bev knows how to take care of the land! Bev enjoys assisting her clients with all aspects of home ownership in Hawaii and in her personal time enjoys practicing hula, yoga, walking her dogs around Kohala Ranch, and visiting the island's beaches as much as possible. Welcome home, Bev.

     Heidi Perreira, R(S) - (808) 987-8299  www.HeidiSells808.com
In a group of high-powered, professional Realtors, it takes courage to admit, "I didn't grow up wishing to be a Realtor." That's the sort of person Heidi Perriera is – no pretense! She is who she is, she's been where she's been and for Heidi, it was pure joy to realize, "real estate is the perfect job for me!" A local Big Island girl, born and raised and having lived all over the county – from Kona to Hilo, through Waimea to Kawaihae, Heidi has seen it all. As "Director of First Impressions" for another now-retired Broker, Heidi got to see first hand the difference she could make in people's lives. And she was hooked. "It's exciting to be able to assist everyday people overcome obstacles they didn't think were possible, and to help them make their dreams come true!" Spoken like the veteran Realtor she has become, Heidi hasn't let her success go to her head. "It's been quite a ride having started in the trenches, but I enjoy all aspects of real estate - from working directly face to face with clients to handling all of the "behind the scenes" work so vital in every real estate transaction.

      Dahl Young, R(S) - (808) 345-3902 - www.DahlYoung.com
Dahl Young is a Big Island girl! Born and raised in Hilo, Dahl is grateful and proud of her Big Island roots, but that’s not all she’s known. With a degree in Asian Studies from UH Manoa, Dahl traveled to Japan on a student exchange program and then lived on Oahu for 14 years before returning to the Big Island to raise her family in Kamuela. “I wanted my kids to experience the same laid-back and relaxed lifestyle that I enjoyed as a child,” Dahl says with quiet confidence. Real Estate has always been a true passion for Dahl - weekends being an opportunity to cruise through open houses and keep an eye on the market. “My mother always encouraged me to pursue this business because she felt my love for real estate coupled with the patience I have while working with many different personalities would be a perfect combination for success.” When her mother passed away, Dahl finally understood the importance of living a meaningful life every day, and thus began a new career as a full-time Realtor with her inheritance. Focused on the business of helping Sellers and Buyers, Dahl’s work ethic would make her mother proud, and every bit the success her mother had always imagined she’d be.

If Naome could play golf everyday, she would. Luckily, for her, there is always a sunny course somewhere on the Island. After working for 32 years at University of California, Naome packed up her clubs and moved to the Big Island in 2003. She settled on the west side of the island in Waikoloa Village (could it be because it has its own golf course?) where Naome can be seen playing golf at least once a week. Fluent in Tagalog and Ilocano, Naome was born in the Philippines. She graduated from St. Paul University in Manila with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nutrition. Naome is an active volunteer at various functions of her church and is also a member of Lions Clubs. She enjoys helping first time home buyers and their proud American dream of “Owning your own home”. The next time when you are out on one of our island’s golf courses, be sure to look for Naome.

Karen was born and raised in Southern California. She and her husband established and operated one of the first certified organic farms in the State of Washington on Whidbey Island where they grew organic garlic commercially.

Karen previously worked 28 years for law offices in California, Nevada and Washington first as a secretary and then as office managers, including the office of the Attorneys General of Washington State and Hawaii. She discovered she had a passion for the business of real estate and it was a natural transition for her given her knowledge of land and experience navigating complex transactions.
