Meet Malia Powers

With a wealth of experience, I’m here to ensure your real estate journey—whether buying or selling—is a complete success.
Malia Powers

Malia Powers

Born and raised on Kaua’i, Malia brings 35 years of deep-rooted expertise to one of Hawaii’s most specialized and competitive real estate markets. Growing up in a prominent island real estate family, she developed an intimate understanding of Kaua’i’s unique landscape, its stories, and the layers of history that make each property special.
 
Malia’s experience spans the full spectrum—from brokering some of the largest luxury sales in the state of Hawaii to discovering hidden gems that showcase the island’s quiet beauty. What drives her isn’t just the price point, but the distinctive character of each property and the stories they hold.
 
In 2010, Malia partnered with Bruce Whale, creating a uniquely dynamic team that combines her decades of market knowledge with his architectural and land management expertise. Together, they offer clients an unparalleled perspective—understanding not just what a property is, but what it could become. With deep island roots and a genuine passion for connecting people with places that resonate, Malia approaches each transaction with the insight of a lifelong local and the care of someone who truly understands what makes Kaua’i home.
 
Malia’s warm and welcoming character has made her clients into close friends, and she is often seen around one of Kaua’i’s juice bars or stretches of beach, with a group of joyous people celebrating the best of island life!

"Hard to say enough about Malia. Right on top of everything from beginning to end. We talked about and set the price just right to encourage early activity. And the pictures taken of the house inside and out were very important in setting the stage and picturing the house just as it should be. Good relationship. And knowledge of the market and neighborhood is crucial. You want to sell but not oversell and be honest. Just right."

"In addition to, and perhaps more important than, all of the typical traits one wants in a realtor (knowledge of the local market, attention to detail, listening to the needs of her clients, etc.), Malia embodies the most important aspect of all: Trust. She represented us as the buyers of a property for which she was also the listing agent. From the start of our interaction, it was clear that she had our best interests at heart, while also taking care of her other client in the transaction, the seller. Not an easy line to walk, and yet she did so with such ease and integrity that it felt like doing business with family. Every aspect of the negotiation process was filled with a sense of great care for all parties involved."

"Malia Powers is one of those rare realtors who combines integrity, excellent negotiating skills, honesty, hard work, and kindness. We were fortunate enough to meet Malia during our search for a home on Kauai earlier this year. We made an offer and were under contract. When the inspection revealed too many issues for the price we negotiated, Malia was 100% on our side. Ultimately, we canceled the contract. We never felt pressure from Malia to keep the deal going since it was not the right fit. She was truly our advocate, and she earned our trust! I am a top-producing real estate broker in another state, so I have very high standards for realtors. Malia exceeded all these standards, and when the time comes for us to buy in Kauai, Malia Powers will be our realtor."

"Malia Powers and Bruce Whale are two of the absolute best. We truly cannot recommend them enough! They are the kindest, most welcoming, and genuine people. They pair expert knowledge of both the market and Kauai with excellent negotiation skills and hard work. They were open and honest with each step of the process, reminding us that they cared deeply about our ultimate satisfaction. We are so thankful to have met and worked with them. When we are in the market to buy a house again in the future, Malia and Bruce will be our first call. It would be an honor to be represented by them!"
