Meet Sharmaine Curtis: Guiding Families to Achieve Their Real Estate Dreams

Real Estate Advisor • REALTOR® • License No. 82833

Sharmaine Curtis is a trusted Real Estate Advisor who brings a wealth of passion and expertise to the table. Born and raised on Oahu, Sharmaine’s deep connection to the local community and her personal journey to homeownership inspire her mission to help others achieve their real estate goals. Whether it’s assisting first-time buyers or seasoned sellers, Sharmaine approaches every transaction with competence, exclusivity, and passion.

A Personal Drive to Help Others

Growing up in Waipahu, Sharmaine has fond memories of catching guppies in the freshwater streams by Waipahu Cultural Garden Park and gathering crawfish at the local water reservoir. Those childhood experiences ignited her respect for her community, and appreciation that shines through in her work today. Residing in Nanakuli for the past 17 years, she loves being greeted by the colors of the ocean, majestic mountains, and ending her days with awe-inspiring sunsets.

At an early age, Sharmaine’s dream of owning a home seemed out of reach. "I never imagined being able to purchase a home of my very own here on Oahu," she shares. “As a homeowner, nothing brings me greater fulfillment than helping others achieve their real estate dreams. Being part of their journey toward future stability and generational wealth is both a privilege and an honor.”

Insights on the Current Market

Navigating today's real estate market comes with lots of twists and turns, and Sharmaine is well-equipped to guide her clients every step of the way. She notes that rising interest rates are causing hesitation among buyers, but she encourages flexibility and preparedness. For sellers, she emphasizes the importance of working with a knowledgeable realtor to navigate the market successfully. For buyers, her advice is simple but impactful: "Buying a home is not a sprint, it's a marathon. It takes time to prepare and position yourself for one of the biggest financial decisions of your life."

A Heart for Hospitality and Real Estate

Sharmaine’s background in the hospitality industry has given her a unique approach to real estate. For many years, she shared her love for Hawaii with visitors, teaching them about its culture and beauty. Now, she brings that same enthusiasm to her clients in real estate. "It’s such a joy to come alongside someone curious to see what they can accomplish and guide them through the process of buying or selling a home," she says. For Sharmaine, every closing represents a new beginning in her clients’ lives, whether it's a first-time buyer receiving their keys or a seller transitioning to a new phase.

Debunking Misconceptions About Realtors

Sharmaine is committed to changing the way people view realtors. "Being a realtor is not all glitz and glamor like you see on TV," she explains. "Realtors work diligently on behalf of their clients, offering guidance, expertise, and hard work every step of the way."

Her goal is to leave every client feeling confident and supported. If she had to pick three words to describe her work ethic, they would be: knowledgeable, patient, and accessible.

Life Outside of Real Estate

When Sharmaine isn’t helping her clients achieve their real estate goals, she loves spending quality time with her family—whether it’s participating in church activities or enjoying some well-deserved leisure time. She also reflects on her journey and has a powerful message for her younger self: "You are not defined by your surroundings or circumstances. You are defined by the hopes and dreams within your heart."
