2016 BEST OF THE WEST | WEST HAWAII TODAY 33 CLARK REALTY CORP. | BEST REAL ESTATE AGENCY/BROKER This is an exciting time for Big Island real estate and for the team at Clark Realty Corporation. Homeowners continue to see property values rebounding; developers are releasing new inventory; home buyers are still able to get historically low interest rates; and Clark Realty, a locally owned real estate brokerage, has once again won awards in two 2016 readers’ polls: Best Real Estate Agency and Best Property Management Company in West Hawaii. Clark Realty is known for emphasizing teamwork over competition. The professionalism and high quality of service practiced among the 160 agents, brokers and staˆ undoubtedly contributed to these awards. “It’s because we put our clients first,” says Frank Goodale, president of Clark Realty. “This is the legacy of our founder, Putty Clark, who passed away earlier this year. His mantra was put people first, do the right thing, and everything else will follow. We are committed to carrying on that philosophy.” Size is also important, says Goodale, who sees advantages to being the largest brokerage on the island, and one of the largest independently owned brokerages in the state. Clark’s online presence, aggressive marketing and locally based professional management structure would not be possible with a smaller company. Clark has accomplished this with six o’ces on the Big Island and 160 agents and staˆ who reached nearly $320,000,000 in residential sales last year. “The award for Best Property Management Company also makes me exceptionally proud of our Residential Property Management Team,” says Goodale. The residential property management division supervises about 400 properties around the island. A commitment to take exceptional care of these homes and condos and careful selection of tenants was instrumental in earning this award. Educating clients is a big part of what Clark Realty agents do. Walking potential buyers through the home buying process and helping them see the benefits of homeownership can help a family lay down roots before they are priced out of the market. “We’ve seen a solid, consistent rebound from the volatility in the real estate market nearly a decade ago, and our sales projections for 2016 are being exceeded. Our clients and sales teams are feeling optimistic,” says Goodale. “We have a future of growth and opportunity in front of us here on the Big Island.” Visit clarkhawaii.com to search for property, connect with an agent or learn more about the Big Island real estate market.
