About

Aloha, future home buyers and sellers! My name is Lana Parks and I would like to introduce myself to you, give insight into who I am, and why I am so excited to be your REALTOR® and show you how to “Live Aloha!” If the friendly ‘Aloha’ didn’t give it away, I am a born and raised native of Hawaii. I love to cook, can speak fluent Cantonese, and love dogs! In 1986, I enlisted in the Army Reserves and proudly served for 15 years. While in Hawaii, I began my professional career in Hawaii as a Property Rehab & Special Project Coordinator for a global hotel chain. In 2001, my beautiful family and I relocated to Oregon, where I earned my Real Estate Broker’s license while simultaneously managing a residential construction business. In 2006, my family and I moved once again, this time to permanently enjoy and become a part of the Gulf Coast lifestyle in the gorgeous Sunshine State of Florida! More importantly, I’d like to share something with you that has shaped me and holds personal importance: what it means to “Live Aloha.” You see, in Hawaii, “Aloha” is more than just a greeting and a goodbye. Aloha has many different cultural meanings; it encompasses kindness, compassion, health, happiness, home, heart, courage, unity, rising to be your highest self every day, and helping others to rise with you. I learned this growing up in Hawaii, and I have kept it with me always throughout my journey across the country, and my journey through life! That outlook, that personal belief, is what inspires me every day and it is what motivates me to help others find that same feeling in life. Connecting people with their homes is how I live Aloha. When I first moved to Florida, I saw need for an honest, patient Real Estate Professional who could act with integrity and tenacity on the part of their customers to achieve home ownership. My experience in new construction, in property rehabilitation, and established home purchases, offers potential new home buyers a capable, knowledgeable Florida REALTOR® who can guide them through the process to find that place that makes them feel happy, the place they live Aloha, the place they call home. I am always grateful to share the home buying process with new customers, from understanding their real estate needs to the celebration of finding that perfect home. I am truly motivated to help you find what it is you’re looking for in a home, and I can’t wait to connect with you!
