“It’s my great pleasure to welcome
Clark Realty’s agents, employees
and clients to the Locations ohana.
Together, our firms will be better
equipped to provide even
greater value to our clients
across the state of Hawaii
and beyond,” said Scott
Higashi, president and CEO of
Locations.
“Clark Realty is a highly
respected firm on the Big
Island and a natural fit for
Locations. Like Locations,
Clark Realty has a legacy built
on local ownership, best-inclass
agents, cutting-edge
technology and a long record
of unparalleled client service.
As Locations prepares to
celebrate our 50th anniversary
next year, we’re thrilled to
embark on this new chapter
with Clark Realty as our
neighbor island partner,”
Higashi added.
Under the ownership of
Locations, Frank Goodale
will continue to lead Clark
Realty as president. Clark
Realty’s brokers-in-charge and
administrative staff will also
remain in their current roles.
The change in ownership
will not disrupt Clark
Realty’s existing business.

the acquisition will occur
gradually as the leadership
teams chart a course for
integration that will benefit
the agents and clients of both
firms.
“Clark Realty’s history,
culture and philosophy align
well with Locations. We have already
had a successful working relationship
for many years through the global
Leading Real Estate Companies of
the World® and Luxury Portfolio
International® network,” said
Goodale. “There are myriad benefits—
both to our agents and to our clients—
of formally partnering with Locations.
We look forward to continuing to
serve our Big Island community
and our agents by building on our
strengths in a thoughtful and mutually
beneficial way.”
Locations currently operates five
offices on Oahu and one on Maui.
With the acquisition of Clark Realty’s
four offices on Hawaii Island—in
Kailua-Kona, Keauhou, Waimea and
Hilo—Locations will be Hawaii’s
premier locally-owned residential real
estate brokerage.
