REALTORS® are members of the Nation Association of REALTORS® and represent a group of real estate professionals who are bound by a strict Code of Ethics and pledge to protect and promote the interests of their Client and treat all parties honestly. According to the Wall Street Journal, as of June 2014, the National Association of REALTORS® had 963,000 licensed members. According to a Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Real Estate Commission Annual Report, in 2013 Hawaii had 12,327 active real estate brokers and salespersons. Of those active real estate brokers and salespersons, the majority are part of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®, one of the largest trade organization in the State of Hawaii with approximately 8,000 members and the largest Board of REALTORS® in the United States which is surprising when you consider the relatively small percentage of Hawaii active real estate brokers and salespersons that comprise the National Association of REALTORS® membership.
Since 1998, the Honolulu Board of REALTORS® has recognized Oahu real estate brokers and salespersons who excel in their profession and provide superb service in accordance with their strict code of ethics with the Honolulu Board of REALTORS® Aloha ‘Aina Award Program. The Honolulu Board of REALTORS® accepts nominations from the public at large and are based on service provided directly to the client involved in a transaction or management agreement between September 1, 2013, and August 31, 2014. Additionally, nominees are required to be in good standing with the Honolulu Board of REALTORS® and the real estate commission.
For the 2014 Aloha ‘Aina Awards Program only 600 Oahu REALTORS® were nominated for this prestigious award. Of this elite group of nominees only ten are recognized as the “Best of the Best” at the Honolulu Board of REALTORS® Holiday General Members Meeting on December 5, 2014.
Since 2007, EXIT Real Estate Associates, formerly EXIT Hawaii Dream Realty, has consistently received nominations for Aloha ‘Aina Awards program including one winner in 2012. Nani Nikcevich (S) received the award in 2012 for showing respect of the ‘aina and for her commitment and dedication to her clients with the sale of their Hawaiiana estate.
As EXIT Real Estate Associates has grown over the past 7 years so has the number of nominees with seven amazing REALTORS® receiving nominations in 2014 including Sue Connelly (R), Rebecca Fagassa (RA), Theresa Harden (R), Diana Lindsey (RA), Keoki Osorio (RA), Luise Palaita (RA), and Lien Tyler (RA).
