I’d like to take a moment to highlight my wife, Arlene Kelly, who may need no introduction if you are already a privileged client of hers. As the Broker-In-Charge for Ola Properties (Ola), Arlene helped grow the company into one of the best full service Real Estate and Property Management Brokerages on the beautiful island of Oahu. She takes pride in her profession and loves her work with clients like you!

At Home at Ko Olina Resort

West Oahu is Arlene’s market specialty, but since Ko Olina Resort has been home for almost 16-years, Arlene has been cruising around the resort like it’s her own. It seems like everywhere we go, she runs into people she knows wanting to talk real estate with her! Just ask her anything about KoOlina and watch her face light up when she shares intricate details of the resort communities. There’s really no one better to represent you than an agent who is knowledgeable and passionate about her work and for the Leeward Coast of West Oahu.

The “Go-To Gal” in Island Real Estate

Arlene is also competitive, which means if she is your REALTOR®, you can be rest assured that she works diligently for you, with your best interests at heart. Her Sellers know that as their agent, she will research the market to ensure their property will have the best representation, placement and positioning in the market. Arlene’s Buyers are confident that she knows the inner details of the properties for sale and can make recommendations based on their needs and desires. Additionally, Arlene is always in tune with the pulse of the market by keeping in touch with many owners and agents who may not have their properties on the market, yet may be selling soon, which gives her prospective clients “an edge.” Add in her professionalism, negotiation skills, trustworthiness, friendly personality, and excellent customer service, it’s no wonder why Arlene is the “Go To Gal” with many repeat clients and word-of-mouth referrals.

Don’t Just Take My Word For It

Whether you are buying or selling, her valued clients highly recommend her. Below are just a few comments from her clients:

• We experienced such a positive feeling with you and your team.
• The high level of professionalism is comforting and amazing.
• She handles transactions with efficiency in a calm manner.
• Arlene is exceptionally proactive, creative and responsive.
• Words to describe Arlene: kind, respectful, strong integrity and dedication.
• Arlene went above and beyond!

In addition to her Hawaii Real Estate Broker’s License, Arlene holds a Master’s Degree in Business and has also achieved the CRS designation as a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), which only 3% of REALTORS® have attained. I have been privileged to stand beside Arlene and call her my wife, and I invite you to meet her, either over the phone, via email or in person to see all that she is, all that she offers, and why I’m so proud.

The post EMPLOYEE HIGHLIGHT: ARLENE KELLY appeared first on .

Locally owned and operated since 2002 by Arlene Kelly and Larry Oldfield, Ola Properties, Inc started as a real estate office. Owners that purchased property through the “KO Team” started asking Arlene and Larry to rent their units for them. What started out as a favor to a few turned into a thriving business. A few years ago Larry saw the need to fix and maintain properties and started Aloha Property Care, which takes care of upkeep, repair and maintenance owners’ assets. Today Ola Properties’ rental division is large enough to divide into four departments: Vacation Rentals, Long Term Furnished, Long Term Unfurnished, and Estate Maintenance.

Larry tends to be more low key but he can also be quite playful and enjoys a good laugh. And because Larry is well read and keeps up with Hawaii’s crazy laws Ola Properties has been able to turn some very uncomfortable situations into opportunities. Larry’s competitive spirit can be compared to a long distance runner, as he’s not one that sprints out of the gate without a plan.  A consistent, strategic pace is how to last the long run, there’s less chance of burn out, more chance of being able to sprint to the finish at the end. Sustainability has been the key in Hawaii to weathering a bad storm or lasting an unseasonable drought. As many successful long distance runners do, Larry also makes connections (with other competitors) along the way making strong relationships that are mutually beneficial. “There’s plenty of business for all of us, we just all have to learn to play fairly along side of each other. They may be our competitors today, but you never know when we might be working together.” In the long run, Larry wants to be able to make a difference, and he knows that it may take many hands together to make that difference.

It has been our absolute pleasure to work for Larry, and look forward to the next challenge he has in store for all of us.
