Nancy Williams
(Secretary)
I first visited Kauai in 1992 and knew from that very first visit that I would live on Kauai. I finally realized my dream in 2012!
After successfully launching the first on-line honeymoon registry company, HoneyLuna.com in 1996, and successfully pioneering this new industry for 12 years I sold my company and spent the next 7 years in Business Development for a technology company.
I obtained my Realtor Sales license in 2016 and was welcomed into the business through Reside Kauai. In 2022 I obtained my Realtor Broker license and am now also a Broker in Charge for Reside Kauai. My experience running my own company, selling technology and servicing my clients in the hospitality industry instilled in me a deep since of responsibility for my clients. I apply these business skills in my real estate career.
I am a photographer, a SCUBA Dive Master, avid hiker, a competitive outrigger canoe paddler for the Hanalei Canoe Club, gardener and aspiring surfer. These passions and activities give me a great appreciation for all that Kauai has to offer.
