Diane O. Ito

Growing up on a farm in Kamuela on the Big Island taught me many things; how to drive a tractor; the importance of
cooperation and teamwork – essential when growing up with four brothers; and the value of a job well done. My desire to
succeed led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Marketing from the University of Hawai’i at
Manoa.

After college I entered the garment industry where I worked for 25 years in both Hawai’i and California. Now I find some of my greatest pleasures in joining my husband, Alan in supporting my three sons, Doran, Justin, and Cade. Having lived and worked in Manoa, I’m known as “The Manoa Specialist.”

My love and passion for mid-century modern architecture has drawn me to architecturally significant homes, such as those designed by Hawaii acclaimed architects Sid Snyder and Vladimir Ossipoff.

I have consistently earned top quality awards from my clients- I am a 5-time award winner of the Top 100 agents in Hawaii by Hawaii Business Magazine and am ranked among the top 1% of all Coldwell Banker sales associates internationally. I was awarded the Coldwell Banker International President’s Premier award this year.

Throughout all of my professional and personal experiences, I have found one motto particularly important to live by: "PEOPLE FIRST.”
