Having been born and raised in the islands of Hawaii, as the son of an airline pilot, I have traveled the world and can say without a doubt that Hawaii is the most beautiful place in the world to live. Owning a piece of that paradise is not only a privilege, but an investment into a market that has doubled in value every 10-15 years over the past 60 years. Having been in real estate sales for 30+ years and owning several properties here, I can say that owning property in Hawaii has far exceeded the money that I make selling property in Hawaii. Join my hundreds of clients, in leveraging my years of experience to make your fortune in paradise.
