Top Hawaii Brokerage with 170 Agents Aligns with REMAX, Elevating Brand's Reach and Market Strength

Strategic move marks a major milestone in REMAX expansion, strengthening its position with elite talent and global reach

DENVER, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- REMAX^®, the #1 name in real estate¹, continues to strengthen its global footprint with a major move in the Hawaii market, welcoming Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Advantage Realty—led by industry powerhouse Myron Kiriu—into the REMAX network. The conversion, effective August 1, brings six offices and 170 high-performing agents under the REMAX Hawaii banner, marking a significant win in the brand's growth strategy.

Hawaii's real estate market is uniquely positioned at the intersection of local tradition and global demand. With eight major islands and a steady mix of native residents and international buyers—especially from Asia, South America, and Canada—the region sees strong interest in both primary homes and luxury second properties. REMAX Hawaii is now equipped to better serve these clients, leveraging the brand's global network and marketing tools.

With a presence in over 110 countries and territories, REMAX is recognized around the world for its productivity and professionalism. Its trusted reputation, modern tools and forward-thinking approach continue to attract top agents and brokerages, reinforcing REMAX as the smart choice for real estate professionals looking to grow.

"The power of the REMAX brand is being noticed," said Chris Lim, REMAX Chief Growth Officer. "We're building real momentum—attracting elite professionals who see great value in our platform, our culture, and our commitment to excellence. This is a new era for REMAX, and we're just getting started."

That momentum is accelerating in Hawaii. Under Kiriu's leadership, the brokerage—now known as REMAX Hawaii—has become one of the most decorated and respected real estate firms in the state. The team has been voted Hawaii's Best Real Estate Firm for 14 years by Honolulu Star-Advertiser readers and one of Honolulu's Best Real Estate Firms for 14 years by Honolulu Magazine readers. They've also been recognized as the Best of Hawaii Real Estate by KITV viewers for five years, and as the Best Real Estate Firm by Hawaii Home + Remodeling readers for three years. Beyond real estate performance, the company has been named one of Hawaii's Most Charitable Companies and one of the Top 250 Hawaii Businesses for eight years, one of the Fastest Growing Businesses for six years, and one of Hawaii's Best Places to Work for five years. This legacy of excellence, community commitment, and sustained growth positions REMAX Hawaii as a powerful addition to the REMAX network.

"Joining REMAX is a powerful step forward for our team," said Kiriu. "The brand's global reach, tech-forward vision and agent-first culture align perfectly with our values. We're excited to bring the REMAX advantage to our clients and communities across Hawaii."

Lim is excited as well: "This strategic move strengthens our presence in Hawaii and reflects our commitment to growing with the best in the business. Myron and his team embody the professionalism, productivity, and trust that define the REMAX brand. We're proud to welcome them into our network."

This Hawaii conversion is part of a broader wave of high-performing brokerages joining REMAX in 2025, reflecting the brand's continued appeal among elite professionals seeking a platform for growth, innovation, and global opportunity. Recent U.S. conversions include:

• REMAX Future(formerly REDCO Realty) – Illinois
• REMAX InMotion(formerly InMotion Group Properties) – Colorado
• REMAX AEGIS(formerly 3 Leaf Realty) – California
