Resilience. Faith. CRS & CNE. Aloha ‘Aina nominee, community advocate & vegan 🐋🤙🏽 Welcome, "E' Komo Mai"
Nina Thompson knows real estate. We provide two methods.
Integrity. 🌺 Broker in HI & MA with 35 years of global outreach & referrals via Sotheby’s. 🌏 Specializing in Kahala, Portlock, Hawaii Kai, Wilhelmina Rise & Windward. A Residential Real Estate Specialist and Certified
Negotiations Expert with 25 years experience, Nina
ranked in the top ten percent internationally and
has consistently been a top producer for the
company since her start in 1989. Her
exceptional
market knowledge and proven negotiating skills
allow her to get the optimal price for any property,
whether buying or selling. Her in-depth, negotiation skills, design and staging
experience, superior people skills and
determination to indulge her clients with first class
service set her apart. If you are looking for an
agent with a broad base of knowledge that will
transform the look of your house and negotiate
price and close it at top dollar, look no further. Her
proven results year after year speak for
themselves. Professional photography: Nina Thompson has her own experienced in-house photographer to
best capture the details of each home. Having lots of high quality photos has become even
more important with the increasing number of homebuyers starting their search online. THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) tells us that approximately 90% of
homebuyers begin their search online. RIS Media also notes that homes with more photos
online sell more quickly (Source: RISMedia, Gar Benedick, 04/01/08 ). Beautiful brochures: Nina will create high quality brochures of your home with large, highresolution
photographs and important details about the home. We know that buyers are often
looking at several houses in a short period of time. Signage: Nina Thompson will place an elegant Luxury Home East Oahu Realty sign on your
property, using our brand’s reputation as a top luxury retailer to entice clients. We also provide
simple instructions to gain access to MLS. Sharing information with other brokers: We share photos and details of your home via several
listing information services, including affiliate netMLS and LINK (where appropriate). These
services allow other agencies to see that your home is available for sale. Some agents also
enroll active buyers in automatic updates generated by these services. Our entries are then
seen by those potential buyers. Property-specific marketing plan: Nina's strategies are designed to best position your home in
the marketplace, identify ways to reach out to each appropriate audience and to create an
action plan for the first three to six months of marketing the home. Online marketing: With approximately 90% of buyers beginning their searches online, we
believe it is critical to garner comprehensive internet exposure. Therefore, we distribute each
home to more than 40 websites including Realtor.com, WallStreetJournal.com,
NewYorkTimes.com, IHT.com (International Herald Tribune), LP-LuxuryProperties.com,
HomeFind.com, Trulia.com, Zillow.com and more. We have built unique relationships with
WallStreetJournal.com and NewYorkTimes,com, offering the Business of Extraordinary Living
microsite on the former and prime advertising space on the latter. NewTorkTimes.com is now
the second highest ranked referral site . Mobile Applications: More than 60% of homebuyers are of Generation X or Generation Y and
research tells us they want instant access to information. The first is
our SIR Mobile application. This GPS-based search tool allows buyers to gather photos, details
and sales statistics around them. The second is our text-to-MLS access via Kwkly. This offers
MLS details using normal texting protocol. Custom property website: Nina will create a custom website with property-specific address,
large photographs, detailed descriptions, floor plans, a downloadable brochure and more. This option provides viewers with a dynamic way to learn about your home, and to contact Nina
for more information, or to schedule a private tour.

Heather Graham and Sean Endsley – LIV Sotheby’s International Realty

Ferrari, Pagani, McLaren, Aston Martin—the creations of legendary carmakers like these, in many cases, far surpass both the prestige and the price point of other luxury labels.
Perhaps it therefore goes without saying that a spectacular vehicle—or a spectacular fleet of vehicles—deserves to be housed in a comparably remarkable home.

Sandy “Nina” Thompson has been helping buyers and sellers on the east side of Oahu for over 15 years, from the shores of Waikiki through Diamond Head, Kahala and Hawaii Kai. She got her real estate license in California in 1988, was a broker in vibrant Boston, MA running a fast-paced office on Tremont Street, and went on to become a top producer in Hawaii. Her success is built on excellent service and relationships, with the mission to put her clients’ best interests first.
Nominated for the prestigious Aloha Aina Award 10+ times, Sandy is respected by clients and peers. She has an in-depth knowledge of transactions, wills, trusts, probate and 1031 exchanges, and collaborates with local attorneys and banks to help clients achieve their goals while gleaning a healthy understanding of the process.
Her international sales accomplishments are impressive, evidenced by her diverse clientele and affiliation with Sotheby’s global reach that includes nine offices in Japan. Nina holds the AHWD designation, providing confidence to her clients that they are working with a dynamic Realtor with expertise that transcends cultural barriers. She also is also a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), the most sought-after designation in real estate that fewer than 10% of Realtors hold.
Over the decades Sandy has learned to stay focused, flexible, on top of market conditions, and open to learning with each transaction. She has a creative side as well and loves decorating. Sandy takes pride in offering island-style staging services to her sellers. She owns several investment properties and has vast insight of the district neighborhoods in Kailua and Kaneohe having lived in Lani Kai.
Born and raised on the east coast, Sandy became an entrepreneur at a young age and was the first female sales rep in the Silicon Valley. She was also one of only two women at the time to own/operate an airfreight company, Pueo Air Express in Hawaii. For fun she loves traveling with her flight attendant daughter and paddling open ocean 0C6 racing canoes. Sandy donates a portion of each commission to the fight against HIV/AIDS.
