Sylvia Kondo Akaka | Realtor® Salesperson
Sylvia was born and raised in San Francisco, CA. Her family moved to Honolulu and opened one of the islands first original Japanese casual dining sushi bars. Sylvia worked at the restaurant while attending college at The University of Hawaii at Manoa earning a double Bachelor's Degree in Japanese, which she speaks fluently and US History with an emphasis on post- WW2 American History. In addition to her studies here in Hawaii, Sylvia has also studied in Denmark, Russia and Japan.
After college, Sylvia moved to Las Vegas, NV where she pursued a career in retail management. She was an integral part in the opening of high-end boutiques including Tiffany and Co., Hermes and Yves Saint Laurent in the Bellagio Hotel. However, Hawai’i kept calling her back and she returned to Oahu to open both the YSL and Dior stores in Waikiki. But it was the real estate market here that Sylvia felt most connected with. Sylvia’s previous experiences with concierge style services makes her a perfect fit with ARG and the Hawai’i real estate market. She strives to fully understand her clients and considers herself an extension of them throughout the entire process. Her extremely high level of standards are ideal for ensuring her clients receive the best outcome at each step of the process. Sylvia brings with her a proven record, a hardworking and dedicated attitude as well as an extensive knowledge of the Oahu market.
While the real estate market keeps this mom of three busy, she’s sure to find time to surf with her friends and family and practice yoga. But it is spending time with her children, especially cheering them on at their sporting events that she enjoys most.
