Hawaii Life Acquires Home Shoppe Hawaii, A Full-Service, Boutique Real Estate Brokerage Based in Kailua, Oahu

PRINCEVILLE, Hawaii, June 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaii Life has acquired Kailua-based Home Shoppe Hawaii LLC, a boutique brokerage firm owned and operated by Yvonne Ahearn. Home Shoppe Hawaii has been in operation since 2010, predominantly servicing clients on the Windward side of Oahu. This latest addition is the third significant acquisition by Hawaii Life this year. The company's growth has included the acquisition of luxury brokerage firms CHOI International in Honolulu and Mauna Kea Realty on Hawaii Island.

Hawaii Life CEO Matt Beall spoke to his company's continued growth, "As we celebrate ten years of success statewide, we are excited to strengthen our presence in Windward Oahu with the addition of Home Shoppe Hawaii. 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."
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 Hawaii Life's global affiliations, as the exclusive statewide affiliate of CHRISTIE'S International Real Estate and an affiliate of Luxury Portfolio International®. Both affiliate networks serve top-tier luxury markets around the world.
