Born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, Winnie speaks several Chinese dialects. She came to the United States to attend University of Minnesota where she received a Bachelor of Science degree and also learned a new culture. Last fall she visited several real estate brokerage houses in Shanghai, China to establish a net work of Chinese agents looking to invest in Hawaii. She concentrates on bringing Chinese investors to Hawaii. She returns to Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong and Macau this spring with information on real estate inventory in Kauai.
Winnie was first licensed as a real estate salesman in Hawaii in 1980. From there on she earned her broker's license in 1982, obtained her GRI (Graduate, Realtors Institute) in 1985, CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) in 1987 and E-pro designation in 2003. In 2006 she just received her Certified Residential Brokerage Manager designation. The CRS designation is awarded to real estate agents who have by special training and education and by actual sales volume, met the highest standards of performance within the real estate industry. Those having the coveted CRS designation are in a position to provide their clients with the assurance of the best professional real estate services. Only three percent of real estate agents nationwide have received this honor. There are approximately four hundred real estate licensees on Kauai of which only a dozen or so are CRS designees. Recently Winnie was awarded the Certified Brokerage Manager’s designee for hands on management experience of a brokerage firm.
Winnie has been in business on Kauai for twenty eight years. She continues to learn about the real estate business. She is vigilant in keeping up with new technology, laws, financing, changing economic climate and consumer demands. She takes pride in looking after her clients' best interest.
During her spare time, she loves gardening, travel, reading, yoga and hiking. She lives in Wailua Homesteads with her dog Koko. |
