Yes, her name really is Sunshine. More than a referral partner, she became a trusted friend over the years. I can think of no better way of wishing wish her “Happy Birthday” today than writing this.
You have plenty of choices when it comes to real estate agents in Utah. What you don’t have is true insight into how they work, and why you should use them.
This is who Sunshine is, and why I think you should work with her.
From Hilo to Utah
Sunshine was born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii, and made Utah her home in 1997. She’s been a full-time licensed Realtor for the past 12 years, so she knows the ins and outs of the different markets better than most.
She brings the aloha spirit to every transaction. In practice, that means she treats clients like family and stays calm when a deal gets stressful.
Why I Partner With Sunshine
When I met her, I was 5 years into doing mortgages. The script was pretty much the same: I pre-approve the client, the agent gets them under contract, and we each do our respective roles and get paid. There was minimal communication and collaboration.
She was the first ever real estate agent to peel back the curtain, and share what she was working on, and where she needed help getting our client’s offer accepted.
The market was shifting, and competition was building up. Our first joint client was a single Mom on a tight budget, pre-approved for an FHA loan – not exactly a prime buyer option for a seller with options. But we teamed up, and convinced the listing agent that our buyer was solid. We closed the deal in 2 weeks with no hiccup-ups, and knew we stumbled onto something special.
We kept doing that through 2020 and 2021. When other agents were submitting 10 to 20 offers before getting one accepted, Sunshine was submitting maybe 2 or 3, then had an accepted contract. She did it by communicating clearly with the other agent, and finding out what it took for the seller to accept her client’s offer over others.
She taught me that some sellers cared only about the bottom line. Others wanted their home to go to someone who would appreciate it. Others needed fast closings. Whatever it was, she would find out, and if it was doable, it would get done.
I understand real estate transactions (and people) better now because of her. Overall, she’s a perfect blend of competence and caring deeply about her clients. Two things that are not always easily found in our industry.
Why sellers and buyer should work with Sunshine
Sunshine’s promise is simple: she will never leave you in the dark. Her clients describe the same four habits.
She listens first. She learns your non-negotiables, and will only send you homes that fit. She will never push you to settle for less than what you want.
She stays patient. One buyer searched for seven months. Sunshine stayed just as engaged at the end as she was on day one.
She moves fast when it counts. When the right home shows up, she has a strong offer ready, and she often has a counteroffer plan too. Several of her clients went from first showing to keys in about three weeks, including one who won the house against higher offers.
She explains every step. First-time buyers say she answered every question quickly and helped them make their own decisions instead of making decisions for them.
For sellers, she coordinates repairs and follows through. One family relocating out of state said she even checked on their property in person after they had moved.

Life Outside Real Estate
Sunshine and her husband, Joe, have a blended family of eight. She loves community, music, the outdoors, good food and sand volleyball.
The Lamberts have a volleyball court in their backyard, where they host friends and share what they call “SandOhana.” Plenty of her clients first met her on that court. One reviewer said Sunshine has helped so many people in the volleyball community find their homes.
She got me into sand volleyball, so enough said.
