Zita Annen

Born in Switzerland, Zita was raised in a family that owned a Gruyere cheese–making business that was over a century old. During her long career with Lufthansa German Airlines, she was the first female hired to be the airline's Catering Manager in the USA.

Zita left the food industry to earn her real estate license in California in 1995 and her Hawaiian Real Estate license in 2002. Living on the Big Island of Hawaii in Kailua Kona for over a decade has perfected her abilities to put herself in your shoes. As your agent, she is efficient, persistent, and patient and enjoys guiding you through every step of the purchasing and selling processes.
