Their team is aligned with our commitment to both personalized client care and leading-edge marketing strategies. As we grow, we strive to maintain our focus on the relationships and personalized service that drive our business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2008 and locally owned, Hawaii Life has emerged as the leading listing brokerage in the state. With more than a billion dollars in sales last year, the firm is also leading the Hawaii real estate industry in both listings and sales above the $3 million luxury benchmark. Home Shoppe Hawaii clients will benefit from Hawai\u2019i Life\u2019s global affiliations, as the exclusive statewide affiliate of CHRISTIE&#8217;S International Real Estate and an affiliate of Luxury Portfolio International\u00ae. Both affiliate networks serve top-tier luxury markets around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Highly attuned to the impact of quality design in real estate marketing, as well as the reach that brand recognition and digital platforms could provide, Hawaii Life founders Matt Beall and Winston Welborn set out in 2008 to create a cutting-edge, innovative brokerage that put digital marketing and design ahead of more traditional real estate selling tools. Hawaii Life\u2019s early engagement in a robust content marketing strategy has delivered the most popular real estate website in the state. <a href=\"http:\/\/hawaiilife.com\/\">Hawaiilife.com<\/a> sees millions of online visitors each year.<\/p>\n<p>Yvonne Ahearn is a three-time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/realestateagents\/YVONNE-JARAMILLO-AHEARN-ESQ.___599174_196364486\">Aloha \u2018\u0100ina REALTOR\u00ae \u201cPeople\u2019s Choice\u201d <\/a>Award winner and has been a consistent nominee since 2010. An attorney for more than 28 years, Ahearn became a Hawaii resident in 2004 and has been a licensed agent and broker on Oahu since 2007. Ahearn served as in-house legal counsel for Wells Fargo Bank NA and internet companies in California. Her legal expertise makes her a highly adept contract negotiator and provides her clients with critical insights into complex real estate matters such as contracts, easements, encroachment, and title issues.<\/p>\n<p>Ahearn\u2019s small team has also dedicated their full-service agency to client care and distinguished marketing. Ahearn noted,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always admired Hawaii Life, their brand, and their effective marketing. We decided to join forces with them to leverage these advantages, but also due to their company culture. Despite their size, they my small firm\u2019s dedication to customer service. I appreciate how they\u2019ve executed their brand strategy so successfully while maintaining their company\u2019s personal and caring culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ahearn will continue to lead and expand her team of realtors, strengthening Hawaii Life\u2019s presence in Windward Oahu.
