About Kina
I am in the business of engaging and educating my clients about the market and its
endless possibilities, while working to achieve the best results.
After growing up in Washington State, I earned my teaching degree in Tennessee. I then
set off for a European adventure, teaching and living in Heidelberg, Germany while
supporting military families for 13 years. I made Hawaii my home 10 years ago, living
Aloha while trying to give back to the island through beach cleanups and volunteering in
the community. This experience helped me understand the needs of homeowners, as
well as the diverse cultures of Hawaii. I believe strongly in giving back to the community.
Every month, Team K 2 serves our community in outreach programs. In 2020, we grew to
love our neighbors experiencing homelessness. We had the opportunity to deliver
much needed groceries to public housing and hosted a BBQ for sixty individuals in
Nanakuli. We familiarized ourselves with the needs of women recovering from
domestic violence at Women in Need and enjoyed spending time with our youth from
RYSE. We challenge ourselves to sell 50 homes every year. We celebrate by giving away
the commission from the 50 th house sold. On our Facebook page, we list 6 worthy
causes that followers can vote on. The nonprofit with the most “likes” wins the
donation. The winner for 2020 was Oahu SPCA. The winner in 2021 was the ALOHA
Animal Shelter. In 2022, we did something a little different, we adopted six schools and
donated snacks, school supplies, and shoes and hosted a teacher luncheon. Please take
the time to view our commission Give Aways on our Facebook page at Kina Knisley RA
RS 78283 - Team K2 | Facebook. This year we are donating adoption fees to Oahu SPCA
for every transaction.
I have a lot of energy and enjoy working with people. I am very tenacious and never
give up. Being trusted by others, to handle their real estate transactions, is something I
value and respect. I am happy to assist my clients through every stage of the real estate
experience, from the early stages of preparation and planning all the way to a successful
sale or purchase and beyond. It is my goal to form lasting relationships and maintain
those relationships beyond closing. I have also started teaching a free investor
workshop for my clients that want to learn about financial freedom through rehabbing
houses and passive income from owning rentals. If you are considering buying or selling
a home or investing in real estate, it would be my pleasure to meet you and have the
opportunity to share my knowledge and skills as your real estate expert. In 2023, I was
honored to rank as #88 out of 6,000 realtors in the state of Hawaii.
