The retreat also gave our team the opportunity to learn about the latest real estate technologies, set goals for the upcoming year, and brainstorm new and creative ways to go above and beyond for both our clients, as well as the community.

What Makes Our Team Different?

Our team approach to real estate is what sets us apart. Here’s what we can do that most other Realtors can’t.

Many people think all Realtors are the same. They are under the impression that they all are supported by the same company, offer the same services, and deliver those services in the same way. Did you know that there are more than 6,500 agents to choose from in Hawaii alone?

We started in real estate 11 years ago and cracked Hawaii Business’s Top 100 Realtors in our second full year. We have been doing this for a long time now. We have grown to a team of 15 and we have been able to serve more than 650 clients during that time. We are also among the top 1,000 Realtors in the U.S. as reported by Real Trends.

The way we operate is different than most.

Dan is also part of the private mastermind group of Keller Williams founder Gary Keller. He is able to travel and learn from top agents with large businesses that provide a high level of service to their clients. Because of this, we’ve been able to implement new technology, tools, and systems to provide a high level of service that is very unique to Hawaii.

The way we operate is different than most agents on Oahu do. Our team approach allows us to have specialized talent placed in specific positions. We have a buyer team, a listing team, a closing team, and an admin team to support all our clients.

When you are looking for a Realtor to sell your home, you want to hire someone who has mastered the services you need. That’s why we built this team and it’s why we are one of the top teams in Hawaii. We can provide that highest level of service.

If you have any questions, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you.

Join a KW Team to Grow Your Career

Keller Williams allowed me to move from being a Realtor to being a businessman and entrepreneur with a large, successful firm. Are you looking for a change that will help your career grow?

There are more than 6,500 of us licensed Realtors and when I started 11 years ago, it was in a traditional model for about eight years of that time. It was a great life and I worked a lot, just like you. 

I found that I wanted to look for a way to build my own business without having the risk of going out on my own and fortunately, I found Keller Williams. It's had a tremendous impact on my life in that it's changed me from a Realtor to a businessman. I'm an entrepreneur now, and we have a large firm of 19 people. 

We're also looking for team members. If you know anybody who is interested, have them reach out to me and we can chat over coffee. 

If you're at a traditional model firm and you're looking for a change or you want to grow your own business, there is a way to get out of that average mode. The way to do that is through systems, models, and tools that we're provided and trained with at Keller Williams. I'm a MAPS coach and I coach agents around the world, so I'd be happy to train you, too. I can help you get from where you are to where you want to be.

Many of us have grown enormously, and in the video above, you can see a chart of the top 100 agents. There are eight agents in Keller Williams who made it into the top 100 in just three years, and that's remarkable. They do this through systems, models, and tools that we've captured around the country to help provide a high level of service to our clients, a healthy business, and a life worth living. 


If you're interested, give me a call at (808) 256-7873. I look forward to hearing from you!
