  • Shine Walker

    Principal Broker + Founder

    I highly value relationships, and every part of my business is a direct reflection of this conviction. Whether buying, selling or leasing, what matters most is honest communication, extreme loyalty to my clients, and a direct, hands-on approach.

    My relationships with clients last long after the close of the sale, and it is that underlying philosophy that drives my work ethic.

    To me, the best part of this profession is that it provides an opportunity for me to build genuine relationships with each client and fellow agent, share my passion for home and the opportunity to be salt and light in the lives of the people I work with.

I specialize in relocation and buyer representation, and I’m proud to hold certifications as a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) and Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR).

    As a retired military spouse, I’m especially passionate about supporting military families through life’s transitions. Grounded in my faith and devoted to family, I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for over 33 years, and we share our home with our two adult children and six rescued dogs.

    My clients appreciate my strong communication, high energy, and heartfelt dedication to creating a smooth, personalized real estate experience.

  • Terry Taylor

    Realtor Associate

    With a diverse background in tech, business, education, and real estate, I bring decades of leadership, innovation, and problem-solving to every client experience. From managing telecom teams to launching successful businesses—including a brewery and a tech institute—I combine entrepreneurial insight with hands-on expertise.

    I’ve been a licensed Realtor since 2019, working closely with buyers, sellers, and investors to help them make smart, informed real estate decisions. I hold a BS in Business from NMU and have completed advanced studies in Cyber Security, Machine Learning, and Project Management through institutions like Harvard, IBM, and Johns Hopkins. My analytical approach and business acumen give my clients a clear, strategic advantage.

    Outside of work, I enjoy paddle boarding, hiking, brewing craft beer, and woodworking. My wife and I share a rich life together, and we’re proud parents of our grown son, who runs a successful marketing firm in New Orleans.

    I’m known for my depth of knowledge and thoughtful guidance, and I’m committed to helping each client feel confident, supported, and fully equipped throughout the entire real estate process.

  • Jill Summers

    Realtor Associate

    I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, along with an Associate’s degree in Business Management. My background reflects both structure and strategy, paired with a strong ability to problem-solve and adapt quickly when challenges arise.

    I have a deep passion for travel and cultural experiences, and I’ve had the opportunity to visit Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Thailand, and the Philippines. Living in Korea for three years especially deepened my appreciation for new cultures and global perspectives. I also genuinely enjoy organizing and decluttering projects—bringing order and efficiency wherever I can.

    Family is at the center of my life. I’ve been married for nearly 19 years to my husband, whom I met while serving in the military. Together, we’re raising three beautiful children while balancing the adventures of military life. I’m also an active supporter of animal rescue on Guam and regularly foster dogs, making room in my home (and heart) for as many as I can.

    Known for my positive attitude, I approach every situation with flexibility, optimism, and a solutions-focused mindset.

  • Elias Valencia

    I’m a retired United States Navy Aviation Chief Petty Officer (E-7) with 17 years of honorable service, and I bring extensive experience in leadership, operational precision, and financial planning to Guam’s real estate market. I specialize in helping military families and local residents navigate buying, selling, and relocating with confidence.

    Having personally navigated PCS transitions, complex financial decisions, and property investments, I understand that real estate isn’t just a transaction—it’s a strategic life move.

    I’m currently pursuing legal studies to deepen my expertise in contracts and negotiation, allowing me to provide even stronger advocacy and protection for my clients. My commitment is to deliver clear guidance, strong representation, and long-term value in every transaction.

    When I’m not serving clients, I enjoy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, building technology systems, and spending time with my blended family.

  • Kate Kikuchi Hardy

    Realtor Associate

    I’m a dedicated real estate professional with a diverse and dynamic background spanning the arts, healthcare, and legal support. My career journey has included experience as a performer, legal assistant, polysomnographic technician, and full-time mother before transitioning into real estate, where I now serve as a licensed agent.

    I trained in classical ballet from the age of six to eighteen and studied various other dance styles along the way. As a teenager, I attended summer ballet programs in Houston and San Francisco before beginning my professional performance career on Guam at eighteen. There, I danced, assisted in magic illusions, and worked alongside exotic animals—experiences that strengthened my confidence, adaptability, and ability to perform under pressure.

    Above all, I’m a devoted mother to two sons, and family is at the heart of everything I do. I love traveling, swimming, and spending time outdoors.

    With strong communication, sharp negotiation skills, and a dependable work ethic, I’m a trusted advocate who works tirelessly to guide my clients confidently through every step of the real estate process.
