ABOUT LEEANA RUNNINGBEAR

Big Island Hawaii Real Estate Expertise

I specialize in the Waikoloa area and West Hawaiʻi, helping clients buy and sell residential, resort, luxury, and land properties throughout Hawai'i Island. With more than 55 closed transactions and over $55 million in sales, I bring local market knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and a hands-on approach to every client relationship.

My background in marketing has taught me that effective real estate marketing is about more than beautiful photos. It's about understanding what makes a property special, telling its story, and presenting it in a way that connects with the right buyers. The goal isn't simply to generate views. It's to create interest, attract qualified buyers, and help your property stand out in a competitive market. By combining modern marketing tools with thoughtful presentation, I work to ensure your property receives the exposure it deserves.

Deeply Rooted Core Values

I am wholeheartedly dedicated to my clients’ success, making it my priority to serve their best interests at every turn. I believe that real estate is more than just transactions—it’s about people, dreams, and creating a place to call home. That’s why I’m committed to going above and beyond to ensure my clients feel truly supported, understood, and valued at every stage of their journey.

My core values are not just guiding principles—they are promises I uphold with every client I serve.

My Core Values:

Aloha

So much more than a simple greeting; Aloha is an ethic of care. It’s a way of life deeply rooted in love, compassion, peace, and a profound respect for others and the world around us. Serving with Aloha means showing kindness and understanding, treating everyone like family, and fostering a sense of community. It’s about giving without expecting anything in return, being fully present and mindful in our interactions, and embracing humility and gratitude.

Transparency

Transparency, to me, is about respect, kindness, understanding, and genuine care in every interaction. It means being open and clear on all the details—facts, commissions, contracts, home inspections, and everything else that matters to you. I believe that honesty and straightforward communication lay the groundwork for a strong, trusting relationship and a transparent home sale, creating authentic connections that stand the test of time.

Honesty

Living with truthfulness, integrity, and respect is at the core of everything I do. Honesty isn’t just about sharing facts—it’s about building a foundation of trust that makes you feel secure and confident. I believe in open, straightforward communication that fosters genuine, lasting relationships.

Communication

Clear, honest, and consistent communication is the foundation of my relationships with clients, partners, and the community. I believe that transparency isn’t just about sharing information—it’s about building trust.
For me, communication goes beyond talking; it’s about truly listening. By understanding your unique needs and aspirations, I can create a partnership that’s not only effective but also deeply supportive. My goal is to meet—and hopefully exceed—your expectations every step of the way, making your experience as positive and rewarding as possible.

Innovation

By continuously exploring the latest tools and techniques, I can offer insights that give you a competitive edge and options that empower you to make the best decisions. My commitment to innovation keeps me adaptable and ready to meet your unique needs, so together we can achieve remarkable results in this ever-evolving market.
