Spring Lee is a dedicated professional with a rich background in Graphic Design and over 15 years of experience in the industry. After relocating to Maui from California, she smoothly transitioned into a career as a real estate agent, a role that felt natural to her. Recognizing the need for a reliable Home Watch service, Spring pursued her National Home Watch certification, ensuring she had the necessary license, insurance, and bonding to provide top-notch service.
Spring and her husband, Shawn Kim, both originally from South Korea, have an interesting love story. Despite growing up less than 150 miles apart, they met at California, thousands of miles away from their homeland. Spring moved to Southern California at the age of 10, facing the challenges of adapting to a new language and culture. With the guidance of a supportive teacher, Mrs. Hatch, she excelled academically and discovered her passion for art.
Spring's father, a hardworking small-business owner in South Korea, started a new career in the U.S. painting commercial and government buildings. Her mother, dedicated and loving, studied child development while working full-time and pursuing her degree. Today, her parents live in Los Alamitos, California, close to Spring's older brothers in Irvine and San Francisco.
Spring's strong work ethic was evident from a young age, as she took on various jobs such as babysitting, working in grocery stores, restaurants, department stores, coffee shops, and as a teacher's assistant and tutor. She brought this same determination to her education, majoring in graphic design at the Otis College of Art and Design and building a successful career in media and graphic design.
Shawn Kim, born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, moved to O'ahu to study hotel management and later transferred to California State University in Fullerton to major in business. They met in California and eventually moved to Maui, where Spring began her career in real estate.
Elisha, a Baldwin High School graduate, was deeply engaged in JROTC and community volunteering. He cherishes the ocean, sunsets, beaches, and electric guitar. The family practices Judo together, with Shawn holding a 2nd degree black belt, Elisha a blue belt, and Spring a beginner. Currently, Elisha attends UH Maui, majoring in Administration of Justice. Additionally, he has just earned the distinction of being on the Dean's list for Fall 2024 due to his outstanding academic achievements. He has also become a Certified National Home Watch Service provider and earned his Real Estate license in Hawaii.
Spring discovered that many resort communities contract home care services to cleaning companies or real estate brokerage firms, which often lack the expertise to properly care for properties. Maui Home Watch aims to establish long-term relationships with customers, providing dependable and local care for their properties.
At Maui Home Watch, we are committed to operating our business following the NHWA code of ethics. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with our customers, ensuring you have a dependable and local person you can count on for all your home care needs.
Furthermore, as a professional deeply integrated into the real estate sector, I am well-equipped to assist with your real estate needs on Maui. Whether you are looking to buy or sell properties, I offer comprehensive support to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. www.springleemaui.com
