About Us

Who are we?

Carol and Briggs Christie moved from San Jose, California to the windward side of Oahu in the summer of 1999 (after realizing that, every time they visited Hawaii and returned to Silicon Valley, they wondered why). Briggs continued consulting on the mainland via telecommute, working with Analysis Team, a Business Intelligence firm based in Mountain View. Carol took some time to volunteer at various venues in the area, most notably Sea Life Park in Waimanalo, after a long career in the venture capital arena. As the years have passed, they've managed to run a vacation rental which continues on, open a dive shop (now in its 3rd year), become active in the community and dive headlong into local charity events.

The Christies also became active in the local real estate market, first as customers (they're on house #3) and then as professionals. Carol has worked with American Dream Realty and Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties prior to joining Keller Williams and was part of the sales team of the prestigious Ko'olani project in Honolulu.

If you want to know the energy level that the Christies' by the Sea team operates at, you simply need to ask how Carol and Briggs met. He sold her a hang gliding lesson!
