Hello! My name is Saya James, and I’m excited to begin my journey as a newly licensed Realtor. Originally from Japan, I’ve called Hawai‘i home for over a decade. Before starting my real estate career, I worked as a school administrator in Japan and spent the last eight years as a dedicated homemaker, raising my three beautiful children with my husband, who is from the Big Island.

My own experience purchasing our first home eight years ago showed me how meaningful—and sometimes overwhelming—the home-buying process can be. That experience inspired me to help others navigate this exciting journey with confidence and care.

As a bilingual Realtor fluent in English and Japanese, I’m passionate about assisting both local and international clients in finding a place to call home. Whether you’re buying your first home or looking for your next investment, I’m here to provide personalized, thoughtful service every step of the way.
