About LuxuryRealEstate.com

Since its debut in 1995, LuxuryRealEstate.com has remained the #1 portal for luxury properties on the internet and has several times more $1,000,000+ content of any near-peer.

Known in the industry since 1986 as the Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate network, a global collection of the finest luxury real estate brokers in the world, this group of more than 130,000 professionals with properties in more than 70 countries, collectively sells in excess of $190 billion of real estate annually. Members are selected by Chairman/Publisher John Brian Losh, one of REALTOR Magazine’s 25 Most Influential People in Real Estate and broker of fine properties through his Seattle-based brokerage firm, Ewing & Clark, Inc.

The company has also been recognized by the Maggie Awards, received an ADDY Award for excellence in Web Design, ranked in the Inc. 5000 List and named as one of the 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies by the Puget Sound Business Journal.

HONOLULU, HI— Elite Pacific Properties, Hawaii’s largest luxury brokerage firm with offices on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, has been awarded two of the most highly recognized awards for business growth.  

Inc. Magazine named Elite on its 35th annual Inc. 5000, which is the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.  The current Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period.

This is the 4^th year in a row that Elite has been named as an Inc. 5000 winner and this year Elite came in at #636, the company’s highest ranking yet.

"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.”

Elite was also named to Pacific Business News “Fastest 50” for the 3^rd year in a row. The Pacific Business News, which is recognized as the leading newspaper in the state of Hawaii for carrying daily business news, annually announces the 50 fastest growing firms in Hawaii. Businesses are ranked based on their two-year percentage revenue growth from 2013 to 2015.  This year Elite came in at #18.

 “Very few companies are able to sustain rapid growth year after year”, says Paul Mayer Managing Partner of Elite Pacific Properties. “We feel honored to receive this kind of recognition and feel Elite's achievement is only possible because of our over 180 dedicated real estate agents and solid support team.”

Both the Inc. 5000 and Fastest 50 recognition awards are based on revenue growth and, in either case, must be a privately held company which is not a division or subsidiary of another company.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Last month a dedicated and motivated crew from Zephyr Real Estate’s Marin office and Opes Advisors, their affiliate mortgage lender, participated with Habitat for Humanity at Mt. Burdell Place, their newest development in the Greater San Francisco area.

Mt. Burdell Place consists of 10 single-family, GreenPoint-rated homes in Novato. This is a transit-oriented community convenient to downtown. Volunteers will complete approximately 85 percent of the construction, and the homes will be sold to working families who earn up to 80 percent of the area median income.

Several members from Zephyr and Opes spent the day working onsite, and Opes Advisors provided lunch for the crew. David Ames, Chris Backer, Ashley Card, Noah Fierro, Chris Jurach, Nathalie Kemp, Mark Machado, Erinn Millar, Leah Randolph,  Mark Shumay, Jurg Spoerry, Rick Stern, Steve Ussery, Jeremy Williams, and Scott Yarmack were on hand to help.

“What an amazing experience to work with Habitat and be a part of something this great,” commented Ashley Card, from Opes Advisors. “The folks from Habitat are wonderfully patient and so grateful for any assistance.”

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that builds for people in need regardless of race or religion. Volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds are welcomed. Over 6.8 million people around the world have benefitted from Habitat’s construction since the organization was founded in 1976.

Opportunities to volunteer or to donate are listed on the organization’s website at www.habitat.org. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is an active volunteer and advocate for Habitat and has this to say about their efforts: “Habitat gives us an opportunity which is very difficult to find: to reach out and work side by side with those who never have had a decent home—but work with them on a completely equal basis. It’s not a big-shot, little-shot relationship. It’s a sense of equality.”
