Over the years in business Tera has met a lot of “Movie Stars”, Fortune 500 Entrepreneurs, Successful Business People & International “Move’ers & Shakers”. And yes, sometimes you can get “Star Struck”, but Tera is one of the acceptations to the rule. You might work at the gas station down the road or you may be Ron Howard or Mick Fleetwood. Tera doesn’t get caught up in the ego excitement, but she does get caught up in the fact that, “Everyone should be treated like a Star”. Everyone that comes into Hawaii Financial Services is treated as one and the same. Everyone’s future counts & every penny matters!..
In 2006 she also co-authored the book "Wally's Way"- An Action Plan for living a better life while having success in the Real Estate field.

Commitment: Tera shows her diverse background by understanding the Kama’aina & Malahine cultures a-like while making sure no concern is treated as a small one. Tera shows complete competency in all that she does and conveys. Tera goes the extra mile to make sure all borrowers needs and requests are met, such as that much needed affordable monthly payment, timely closings, detail to income concerns and true aspiration for a long-lasting relationship creating a feeling of ‘ohana for all involved in the mortgage process.
