Kiani began her real estate career in 2016 and was deemed 'newcomer of the month' shortly after becoming a new agent. Aiding her clients to achieve their real estate goals is a journey that she is honored to be a part of. Born and raised on the Eastside of Oahu, Kiani's fascination with real estate dawned at a young age thanks to her grandmother and her father. Her grandmother was a first-generation immigrant and taught her the importance of working hard and saving to invest while her father — a firm believer in the value of Hawaii real estate, would prompt discussions that sparked her enthusiasm. Kiani grew up volunteering for various non-profit organizations and developed a passion for giving back to her community. This passion combined with her love for real estate has enabled her to become a successful agent who goes above and beyond to provide outstanding service to her clients.

In addition to public service, her past experiences include residential sales, law work as a paralegal, and the hospitality industry. Kiani strives to do things to the highest standard possible. She believes that empathy, patience, and effective communication are instrumental in the business of helping others. Her transparency, integrity, and authenticity along with her expertise are a few traits her past clients have noted that make her a joy to work with.

During her free time, Kiani enjoys spending time with her family and exploring novel things. Whether it be food, places, or ideas — she thrives on innovation and is always eager to learn something new. Her hobbies include gardening, reading, art activities, and basketball.
