About Jeanna Rimmer

Have you heard the stories of people packing up everything and moving to Hawaii? Yes, I am one of those people. My family decided to move and within six months we had sold everything we owned in North Carolina and arrived on the Big Island in June 2014. In our first 60 days Hurricane Iselle hit the island and we were without power for over a week. Power was restored and the lava flow from Puʻu ʻŌʻō vent from Kīlauea Volcano changed direction and headed toward our beloved Pahoa town. Through it all, the community came together to care for each other creating a strong sense of belonging and connection for me.

I have discovered I enjoy white pineapple, wading in a warm tide pool, the sound of the coqui frogs, and nights on the lanai. I also have learned about catchment tanks, solar power, the value of a 4-wheel drive and the importance of multiple pairs of slippahs. Real estate has allowed me to share what I love about the affordable paradise of the of Hawaii Island.

Ratings & Reviews

In making this seemingly abrupt move to Hawaii from the Northeast, I was initially in touch with three different realtors. What I immediately noticed about Jeanna was that she listened in earnest, was incredibly responsive, took us seriously, and remembered what I told her about our particular situation. During our first phone call, she normalized my fantasy of wanting to move to the Big Island by sharing her own story of moving from the east coast. She remembered that we were travelling to the Big Island in about a month, and followed up with me a week prior to make a tentative plan. Leading up to our visit, she gently guided us to search for homes in appropriate areas for our needs, taking into consideration the climate, privacy, insurance, and even traffic conditions. Once we arrived, many of the homes we wanted to see had been claimed, so we hoped to schedule as many that we could that matched our criteria. Jeanna was efficient and organized and we were able to see 13 places in two

WOW!!!!! Jeanna is one of the greatest real estate professionals there are! Real estate is booming and she always made us feel like we were her only clients (she has many). She gets things done and gets them done immediately. Not only is she top notch at what she does but she is a kind, caring, and generous person. She went above and beyond helping us relocate. Jeanna is our local realtor for life and a new friend. Thank you!
