Meet Austin Nakamura
I'm Austin Nakamura, a licensed real estate agent and the other half of Kristy & Austin Home Group here on Oahu. I grew up in a military family, which means I know what it's like to move frequently, adapt to new places, and start over. That experience gives me a deep understanding of what our military and relocating clients go through — and it's one of the reasons I'm passionate about helping people find the right home.
Kristy and I run our real estate business together at eXp Realty. While Kristy focuses on client relationships and education, I focus on the systems, operations, and behind-the-scenes strategy that keep everything running smoothly. We complement each other well, and our clients benefit from having two agents fully invested in their success.
My Role at Kristy & Austin Home Group
I handle the operational side of our team — everything from transaction coordination and marketing systems to listing logistics and vendor management. My job is to make sure nothing falls through the cracks so our clients can focus on the exciting parts of buying or selling a home.
Here's what I typically manage behind the scenes:
- Listing preparation and photography coordination
- Marketing strategy and digital advertising
- Transaction timelines and deadline tracking
- Vendor coordination (inspectors, lenders, title, escrow)
- CRM and follow-up systems to keep communication consistent
- Data analysis for pricing and market positioning
I believe that great systems create great client experiences. When the backend runs well, our clients feel confident and supported from start to finish.
From Military Life to Real Estate
Growing up in a military family taught me discipline, adaptability, and how to build relationships quickly. Those same skills translate directly into real estate. I understand PCS timelines, VA loan requirements, and the unique challenges that come with relocating to Hawaii.
Whether you're a service member arriving at Schofield Barracks or Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, or a local family looking to make a move, I bring the same level of focus and commitment to every transaction.
What Drives Me
I'm motivated by solving problems and building things that work. Real estate isn't just about houses - it's about creating a smooth process that reduces stress and gives people confidence in their decisions. I take pride in making sure every detail is handled so our clients never have to wonder what's happening next.
Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with our family here in Mililani, staying active, and exploring everything Oahu has to offer. Hawaii is home, and I love helping other families put down roots here too.
Why Work With Both of Us?
When you work with Kristy & Austin Home Group, you get two agents for the price of one. Kristy leads with relationships and client education. I lead with systems and execution. Together, we cover every angle of the real estate process.
Our clients don't just get advice - they get a full team working behind the scenes to protect their interests, meet their deadlines, and deliver results. That's the Kristy & Austin difference.
