I am a passionate artist who followed my love for surfing and warm weather to Oahu in 1988. Originally from the East Coast, my husband and I fell in love with the island living and diverse cultural atmosphere of Hawai’i. We raised our two children (now young adults) here and cannot imagine living anywhere else.
I have always had a creative side and pursued my passion for Art by obtaining a degree in Fine Arts. I furthered my studies in Graphic Design, Photography, Early Childhood Education, and Business Management. This diverse background led me to various employment opportunities including Art Teacher, Graphic Artist, Magazine Art Director, even Bartender.
Once settled on Oahu, I quickly established my own business “Gina Overton Designs.” specializing in logo design, print advertising, commissioned paintings, and a hand-painted clothing line called “Designs by GiGi.”
Throughout the years, I ventured into the real estate industry. After purchasing, renovating, and selling many of my own homes, I found a natural career path in real estate. I have been involved in residential real estate in Hawaii for over 20 years and have developed extensive knowledge of our neighborhoods, cultures, and unique marketplace.
Also a certified Home Stager, I enjoy the creative aspect of preparing homes to stand out among the competition, often using my own Art. Specializing in Shoreline Properties and Second Homes, I have established working relationships with Hawaii’s expert Land Planners and Coastal Engineers. This allows me to assist clients in understanding the rules and regulations set by the City/County and State.
My goal is to make your real estate experience comfortable and fulfilling. I love working with First Time buyers and Seniors, and I am always excited about the new and exciting aspects of each transaction. With our amazing Compass Referral system, I can assist clients anywhere in the US and beyond.
When I’m not working with clients or browsing interesting properties, you can find me in my art studio painting, in the ocean swimming or surfing, tending to my flower gardens, wine tasting, traveling, or spending time with family and friends. ~ Aloha
