Hawaii Life has grown dramatically in the three short years that they have been in operation. The company, which has its roots in online marketing, has been on the forefront of advancing the technology of online real estate search and lead management.
Working with co-owners Justin Britt and Winston Welborn, both of whom have years of experience in the online marketplace, Beall has pushed the boundaries of tech innovation in a profession that is steeped in brick and mortar.
Grown from a Kauai real estate brokerage, Hawaii Life now employs about 130 agents statewide and has offices to service Kauai, Big Island, Maui, and Oahu real estate needs. Employees at Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers are active members of their communities; they include members of various boards and hold esteemed positions in industry groups. Beall encourages his agents to be involved and effect change in the industry. Leading by example, Beall was recently installed as the President of the Kauai Board of Realtors. Beall notes, “… so far my short career of volunteering has brought successful political action (which has greatly benefited our local community) and an increased ability to conduct business that I would have never had access to in the first place.”
