While working as a team is a common business practice in real estate, Mother-Daughter teams are rare. Denise Nakanishi and Mealoha Kraus are breaking new ground in Hawaiian Real Estate. In fact, this is the first Mother-Daughter team to be honored by the Hawaii Island Board of REALTORS® (HIBR) as their choice for REALTOR® of The Year.
Nominations for this prestigious award are submitted by fellow REALTORS® based on service to others and a commitment to qualities which promote a positive REALTOR® image. Final selection is made by a committee of previous winners. HIBR could not have made a better choice than Team Nakanishi. There is no doubt that Denise and Mealoha are committed to serving their community while promoting the strict code of conduct to which REALTORS® must subscribe.
Competition for this prestigious award is always competitive according to Denise who reports this was at least her 4th nomination. A local top producing agent, Denise Nakanishi is knocking at the door of the Prudential Legends Award having been placed among the top 3% of Prudential’s 50,000 agents nationwide for several years. She knows it’s impossible to attend to all the details alone so once daughter Mealoha graduated from the University of Hawaii at Hilo, Denise convinced her to put her enthusiasm, insight, knowledge and technical expertise to work. This was the first phase in the evolution of East Hawaii’s first full-time real estate team.
Always seeking new and innovative ways to provide the highest standard of service to their clients, Team Nakanishi has, for years, embraced the evolution of the on-line marketplace. The newest members of their real estate team are dedicated exclusively to providing technical tools and support which will complete the transformation of their business from a static print based format to a dynamic internet based platform. This will allow them to easily adjust their marketing efforts to the demands of today’s consumer.
Their dedication to their business is balanced by a deep commitment to years of community service. This has not gone unnoticed by their colleagues as congratulations poured in from co-workers and clients alike.
Their reaction to the win according to Mealoha was “Shock, honor, surprise and smiling so big you couldn’t even see our eyes”! Congratulations Team Nakanishi!
