About Me – Don A. Persons I have been fortunate to build a successful career in Honolulu’s real estate industry, bringing decades of expertise and sales success to Hawaii’s competitive market. As the former owner, president, and principal broker of Gold Coast Real Estate, Inc. and Diamond Head Real Estate, Inc., I played a pivotal role in shaping the luxury and waterfront real estate sectors on Oahu. Throughout my career, I have remained at the forefront of market trends, consistently delivering record-breaking sales and providing exceptional service to my clients. My leadership skills and deep understanding of the market have helped me establish a reputation as the go-to broker for sellers looking to position their premier properties for maximum exposure and top-dollar sales. Negotiating complex transactions, adapting to shifting market conditions, and leveraging strategic marketing techniques have been key to my continued success. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of my career is the opportunity to live and work in the same neighborhood for over 40 years. I take great pride in my community, and my dedication extends beyond real estate. I have been actively involved in volunteer efforts such as the Honolulu Marathon and weekly neighborhood police patrols. My past roles include serving as a maintenance supervisor for Honolulu City & County Parks & Recreation and working as a resident manager within the community. I am also proud to be a member of the Outrigger & Elks Clubs, as well as the Waikiki and Diamond Head Rotaries. Over the years, I have contributed my experience and leadership to multiple Boards of Directors. If you’re considering buying or selling property on the Gold Coast or beyond, I would love to put my extensive local market knowledge to work for you. Give me a call today! Aloha, Don

Aloha! My name is Joelle Seashell, thank you for visiting my page. I was born in Washington State and raised in Papua New Guinea. I am the daughter of a Bible Translator and grew up on a tiny tropical island in the Manus Province of P.N.G. At 7th grade I attended an international school on the mainland of Papua New Guinea in the Eastern Highlands Province. Growing up on an island where People live an agrarian lifestyle is a blessing that has shaped my perspective on life in ways that cannot be easily put into words. Living in a village where you have to hand wash your clothes, use an outhouse as your bathroom and clean yourself with a bucket shower has allowed for everything in my adult life to feel like luxury. When I was 18, I returned to Washington State and started a career working with Walmart. Initially I was cashiering to pay for college, which eventually turned into twelve years of hands-on education in managing business operations. Around 10 years ago it was time for me to move away from the gloomy cloudy skies of Washington and reconnect with my island roots. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity God has given me with my life here on O'ahu. It is a blessing and an honor of the highest regard to help others build wealth through real estate.

Ken was born and raised on Maui and graduated from Maui High School. He attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa then immediately moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a dancer. Real Estate ultimately called him and he was licensed in the State of California in 1989. Throughout his 20+ year career, he achieved many sales accolades. He consistently ranked in the top 3% of sales associates for volume at a national sales firm. Just as Los Angeles called in in the 80’s, Maui ultimately called him back in 2009. He brought with him his experience representing banks and large asset management companies. He primarily focused on selling distressed properties but his heart was in selling residential properties. He understands the emotional aspects of buying and selling a home as he has bought and sold several on Maui and in Los Angeles. Ken recently studied for and received his Broker’s license. He feels that this gives him an edge above a Salesperson. Some other designations include Eco-Broker, Senior Real Estate Specialist, Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource Specialist and most currently, GRI, Graduate of the Realtor Institute. He is also a Certified Energy Auditor and a graduate of the Maui Culinary Academy at the University of Hawaii Maui College! His sales career combines his mainland know how with the island lifestyle. Ken’s Hawaii Life includes working out, swimming, yoga, cooking and spending time soaking in the sun at the beach. He has owned a house for over 15 years in the Maui Meadows area of Kihei. Maui is a wonderful island and he would like to help you find your Hawaii Life. Aloha, Ken

I was born and raised in Japan, then my journey brought me to the San Francisco Bay Area in California, where I spent over 25 years working in the dynamic tech industry of Silicon Valley. In 2021, my wife and I, along with our two dogs, made the move to Hawai‘i, embracing the island lifestyle and all the beauty it has to offer. Living in Hawai‘i has been an incredible experience, and I am eager to help others realize their real estate dreams here. Over the years, I have bought and sold homes multiple times, including our own primary residences and rental properties, both in California and Hawai‘i. These personal experiences have given me valuable insights into the real estate market and a better understanding of the needs and desires of home buyers and sellers. Additionally, being fluent in Japanese and having a personal connection to Japan further enhances my ability to serve clients in Hawai‘i. This allows me to connect with a broader network of potential buyers and investors, providing unique opportunities and insights for my clients. I draw on both my own background and Hawaiʻi Life’s vast network of resources and expertise to provide supportive and reliable service. Hawaiʻi Life provides the clients I work with the extended support of over 335 brokers and 62 employees across 22 offices throughout the entire state. Both their global and local network are extensive and their resources and tools are top-of-the-line in the industry–and it’s all available to you. When I’m not helping clients with their real estate needs, you can find me enjoying an active lifestyle. I love running, road biking, participating in triathlons, and golfing. These activities help me stay connected to the community and the beautiful outdoors of Hawai‘i. I also love traveling and exploring new places with my family. With a blend of international experience and a dedication to my clients, I strive to provide personalized and professional real estate services. Whether you are buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, I am here to guide you every step of the way. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you achieve your real estate goals in Hawai‘i. 日本で生まれ育ち、その後、アメリカのサンフランシスコ・ベイエリアに移り、シリコンバレーのハイテク企業で２５年間勤務しました。2021年に妻と2匹の犬と共にハワイに移住し、美しい自然とハワイライフを満喫しています。 みなさまのハワイでの不動産所有の夢を実現する為に、お手伝いしたいと思っています。 長年に渡り、カリフォルニアとハワイの両方で自宅や賃貸物件の不動産売買を数多く経験しており、これらの経験から不動産市場の洞察力が得られ、買い手と売り手の必要なニーズや要望をより深く理解することができました。 Hawaiʻi Life はハワイ州全体で22のオフィス、335人を超えるブローカーと62人の従業員による幅広いサポートを提供しています。同社のグローバルネットワークとローカルネットワークは業界最高で、その全てを利用することができます。日本のお客さまには日本語で、自身の経歴に加え Hawaiʻi Life のリソースと専門知識の豊富なネットワークを駆使し、信頼できる充実したサポートを提供いたします。 私生活ではランニング、ロードバイク、トライアスロン、そしてゴルフなどを楽しんでいます。これらを通じて、ハワイの豊かなコミュニティや美しい自然と深く関わりを持つことができました。また家族と一緒に旅行したり、新しい場所を散策することも楽しみの一つです。 ここハワイでの素晴らしい生活を、みなさまにもぜひ体験していただきたいと願っています。
