TL;DR
United Country Real Estate has expanded its operations into Hawaii with a new mobile franchise in Kailua Kona, providing full real estate services for lifestyle properties on The Big Island. The franchise is owned by Laura Lunn and will be run by Astrid Armani.
The franchise is owned by Laura Lunn, an experienced real estate professional based in Henderson, Nev., and will be run by award-winning broker Astrid Armani, a Rising Star award winner, given to a broker who significantly increases their sales in their first year. Armani has specifically used social media marketing to continue to close sales and drive success.
Armani previously resided for many years on the island and lived the island life to the fullest from living aboard a scuba diving yacht to running a coffee farm in Holualoa. She is also a photographer and journalist who has authored numerous books and articles describing Hawaii's underwater world, flora and fauna and island history. Armani is a licensed drone operator and puts her photography skills to use by capturing the beauty of Hawaiian properties.
“After running a successful real estate business on the mainland, my goal was to always come back to Hawaii,” said Armani. “I have a lot of experience in Hawaii. I lived here for 10 years and back on and off after. I have a knowledge of Hawaii that goes beyond what most people have through owning a business, writing books, doing the research and as a property owner myself. And with all of the lifestyle property types Hawaii offers, United Country is the perfect fit.”
