I’m Francein Hansen—a licensed agent, real estate investor, and former luxury home designer-builder. With a builder’s eye for quality and an investor’s focus on numbers, I help clients in Honolulu and across Oahu navigate buying, selling, and 1031 exchanges with confidence. My experience designing high-end homes and repositioning investment properties allows me to blend financial strategy with design insight, ensuring every transaction maximizes both value and lifestyle.
BridgeWise Group
Many long‑time investors reach a crossroads: the property has appreciated, the tenants and upkeep are wearing thin, and taxes loom large. Our mission is to turn that moment into a tax‑wise transition that preserves wealth and supports the next chapter—whether that’s income stability, passive ownership, or legacy planning.
We serve baby boomer owners who want clear choices and a trusted team. Our core work centers on 1031 exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs). We start with education—what each option means, how timelines work, and where risks and benefits sit. Then we coordinate the right professionals: experienced wealth managers to align portfolio needs, CPAs to model after‑tax outcomes, estate attorneys for title and legacy questions, and qualified intermediaries and escrow partners to execute cleanly and on time.
Because life transitions often involve more than real estate, we also collaborate with charitable organizations and legacy‑giving departments when philanthropic goals are part of the plan. The result is a streamlined path from sale to strategy—minimizing surprises, documentation gaps, and deadline stress.
You’ll get straight talk, timely updates, and a single point of contact who keeps every stakeholder aligned. We don’t provide tax or legal advice; we orchestrate the experts so you can decide confidently.
If you’re ready to trade landlord burdens for a tax‑wise, income‑focused, and legacy‑friendly plan, we’re here to help you move from “What now?” to “What’s next.”
