		<description>Thanks Gene.  You&#039;re absolutely right... Properties of the Pacific has 6 brokers and 3 salespeople.  That&#039;s a great ratio.  We&#039;ve only been on Oahu for a months.  We have a Broker and 2 agents there.  I&#039;m glad that you&#039;ve now &#039;heard&#039; of them!  Aloha, Matt</description>

		<description>Agree on awards.

Confused on:

&gt;&gt;&gt; Hawaii Life is an extremely well-educated group of brokers and agents. I don’t think any other company has as high a percentage of licensed real estate brokers (as opposed to licensed salespeople). We have an exceptionally high number of Realtor designations:  Graduates of the Realtors’ Institute, Certified Residential Specialists, Accredited Buyer Representatives, and so many more. &lt;&lt;&lt;

I&#039;m a kamaaina and never heard of any of your agents. Also, you are incorect about highest % of re brokers. That would go to Properties of the Pacific. Nope, don&#039;t know them personally and I&#039;m not an agent.</description>

		<description>Aloha, Matt. Funny, we just had a spirited conversation about this yesterday at the Kona Board of Realtors Board of Director&#039;s brainstorming session! 

Whether from a non-profit Realtor organization, or a for-profit brokerage, awarding salespeople made-up distinctions based on their doing their job completely misses the point - which is to be of service to our clients.

It&#039;s just one of the many things I love about Hawaii Life. Our focus is pono.</description>
