Meet Dalena ann Ricks

I founded Waiwai Pono 888 with a simple goal: to approach real estate with honesty, respect, and a genuine commitment to doing what’s right.

My professional background is in construction management, where I’ve spent years managing projects, coordinating teams, working with clients, and navigating the details required to bring projects from planning through completion. That experience taught me the importance of clear communication, accountability, practical problem-solving, and earning trust.

I bring that same approach to Waiwai Pono 888. Every property and every owner’s situation is different, so I believe in listening first, understanding your goals, and exploring solutions that make sense for you - without unnecessary pressure.

Although Waiwai Pono 888 is rooted in Hawaiʻi, we work with property owners and real estate opportunities nationwide.
