Top REALTOR® Awards

May 28th, 2008 by Harvey Shapiro

Last night, Hawaii Business magazine and Central Pacific HomeLoans held their second annual Top REALTOR® awards program at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki. The mistress of ceremonies for the event was Grace Lee from KGMB-9 and the entertainment was provided by the well-known singing duo Cecilio & Kapono. This was the last major event held in the hotel’s Monarch Ballroom before they begin renovation.

The top REALTORS® from each island, based on total dollar volume, were announced. The winner on Kauai was Barbara Sloan, Maui was Mary Ann Fitch and for the Big Island, Richard Rocker. The Oahu winner was Patricia Choi who also had the distinction of being the highest volume generator statewide.

Congratulations to all of these winners and also all of the top 100 REALTORS® for the state of Hawaii who received an engraved award plaque from Central Pacific HomeLoans. You can see all of their pictures and biographies in the June issue of Hawaii Business magazine which is available by subscription or at your local newsstand.

Thanks Harvey; I read your blog about the Awards at the Royal Hawaiian. I did not know that the Monarch Room is being rennovated. From the awards you describe Hawaii has not been affected by the Housing Slump that one hears about on the mainland. Is it because the buyers are more reliable or that the lenders are more cautious about making their rules known ahead of time to prevent foreclosures? Or perhaps buyers are richer here and can afford high priced homes as Ms Choi deals with. Thanks for the information Meheroo

I just want to know why in God’s name is the author pictured with a smoke pipe in his mouth? Are you for real??? Here we are trying to convey to youngsters and those who never smoked, to stay away from it. It is being eliminated in movies, and commercials are off the air, but yet, the Honolulu Advertiser posts a profile picture of a pipe in Mr. Shapiro’s mouth. Both the Advertiser and Mr. Shapiro should clean up their image, and issue an apology to the general public. Perhaps a foot should replace the pipe. Maybe it will knock some common sense into him.
