From a young age in her hometown of Osaka, Japan, award winning real-estate agent Hatsumi Campbell had big dreams of becoming a wedding planner. She was drawn to weddings because she adored the idea of finding people their perfect match and putting them on a path to happiness and love. Courageously, she made the leap to move to Hawaii in 1995 to chase her dreams. She had little money, minimal English language skills and barely any connections to the little island that was worlds away from her home. Despite all of this, her hard work and passion overcame what was working against her. She single-handedly founded and operated Leilani Wedding Company, providing boutique Japanese and international weddings with an emphasis on authentic Hawaiian traditions and personalized service. Hatsumi helped over 400 couples celebrate their special wedding experiences in Hawaii.
As Hatsumi loves to say: “Real estate is much like the wedding process. You meet the house of your dreams, fall in love, and make an everlasting commitment. Your realtor is your wedding planner!” Hatsumi’s business experience with luxury sales and international weddings has prepared her well for her new career as a REALTOR ASSOCIATE® with LIST Sotheby’s International Realty, with a focus on luxury real estate in Hawaii. Like the go-getter she is, Hatsumi started a seminar called “First time home in Hawaii” for Japanese buyers. The seminars help Japanese buyers to understand the ins and outs of Hawaii real-estate, which greatly differs from Japan’s system. Hatsumi loves the adventure, challenges, and romance of perfectly matching the seller and buyer with the home of their dreams in Hawaii.
Known for being friendly, positive, outgoing, and service oriented, Hatsumi is exceptionally hard working, a quick learner and creative problem solver – all important characteristics for a realtor in an ever changing, dynamic market. Hatsumi is a devoted wife and mother of two beautiful daughters and her beloved dog Comet. In her free time she loves exploring Hawaii, cooking delicious meals for her family, play golf with her friends and is actively involved in the ministry of Olivet Baptist Church and loves to cook.
With her contagious passion for Hawaii and real estate, Hatsumi received the List Sotheby’s International Realty Top Producer for 2018 and 2021, recently selling 12 million dollars worth of real estate in a single year. Equally seasoned with local, mainland, and Japanese clients, Hatsumi uses her international business background to provide world class service to each and every buyer and seller. Energetic and empathetic, you can trust Hatsumi to give you a competitive edge in the highly contested Hawaii market. As an experienced real estate investor, there is no realtor better equipped to serve investors. Hatsumi enjoys sharing her Hawaii life with a large following on social media. Let her help you find your perfect match!
