As a 6 year Resident/Realtor in Waikoloa Beach Resort, I have comprehensive awareness of all real estate markets within the South Kohala Resort area, as well as detailed information on the particulars of each property. When choosing a Realtor to represent you when buying or selling, market knowledge is the key to buying or selling right. I specialize in these communities, and can offer you the benefit of my experience and knowledge.
My background is 30 years of construction and developing residential custom homes in Ca. giving me insight in to the quality of your perspective new Hawaii home.
In my spare time, I enjoy golfing on the many courses that the Kohala Coast has to offer. It is one of the most beautiful golf destinations in the world. Owning property here, and being able to share this place with friends and family, is truly one of the great joys of life.
Joseph Morris grew up in San Diego, California and lived there until graduating high school. His journey to the Big Island began 28 years ago when he came to the island for a vacation. Joe got off the airplane and headed to Magic Sands Beach in Kona where he was mesmerized by the ocean. After body surfing there all day and watching a beautiful sunset he caught a glimpse of the “Green Flash” and at that moment he knew he was destined to call the island home. With less than $200 in his pocket he tore up his return ticket and pounded the pavement to find a job; which started his career in construction.
Joe’s extensive history within construction included working not only on the Big Island but as well as at Pearl Harbor and Wahiawa for Military housing, Sheraton Hotel in Kauai after Hurricane Iniki, and constructing Jimmy Buffet’s restaurant “Margaritaville” in Oahu. After 25 years in construction and lathing many luxury homes in resorts, Joseph pursued the path of becoming a Property Manager for homeowners. As a property manager it is essential that you have your real estate license; therefore, another chapter began with Joseph’s career.
He became a realtor for Kohala Coast Properties and has had much success, within 2 months sold his first home and is the property manager for the owners. Joe’s motivation comes from his family, a wonderful wife who is a professional Personal Chef, and two amazing son’s. He enjoys playing golf with the family (although they aren’t as good as him), SCUBA diving, fishing, and hiking. Joseph is dedicated to client satisfaction, working hard to accomplish the goals and needs of the client. With all of his life experiences this has enabled him to provide excellent customer service and the intimate knowledge of real estate on the Big Island. His motto is, “be prepared and if you are not 10 minutes early you are 10 minutes late”! Aloha.

For 37 years I flew Internationally for Northwest Airlines seeing the world on my various layovers, concentrating on Asian destinations. On my days off I have done my fair share of sightseeing and fishing competitively. After all my travels I decided that Kona was the place for me… The tropical setting the slow pace and our perfect weather compliments the romantic sunsets.
During the past 12 years, I have organized fundraisers, charitable events, an annual fish tournament for children and numerous tournaments for adults. I have seen a lot of changes in my home town and the magic of living on this Island is just as exciting as the first day I came to visit. With my knowledge and experience of the Island, I welcome the opportunity to assist you in your real estate needs.

The Big Island of Hawaii offers a wondrous living experience. Whether for a short time or a permanent stay, you will discover the gentle breezes, amazing landscapes and the delicate scent of our native flowers all of which create a wonderful palette for our senses.
I was drawn here in 1987 for the above reasons and brought with me in addition to my three sons, a background in International Finance.
I was schooled numerous years in Europe, and traveled throughout South America to establish solid client contacts and set up banking relations using Washington D.C. as my home base.
Later on, Real Estate attracted me in California in 1980 where I obtained my first license. A few years down the road, living in Switzerland opened up another world of experiences before coming to settle here on the Big Island.
The delight in working one on one with clients is a fun and challenging experience requiring integrity, determination and focus. With a fluency in Spanish, French, and German, I look forward to helping you search and find a piece of paradise that would fulfill your personal and/or business needs.
Sixteen years of experience and specializing in Residential and Resort Real Estate. As a specialist in the Waikoloa Resort Properties, Mark enjoys golf, water sports, and community affairs.
Over 30 years ago I first came to this string of pearls in the vast Pacific called Hawaii. I knew immediately that this is home. Maybe that is how you feel now as you are in search of the home on the “aina” (land) of the Big Island. When not working full time as a Real Estate broker and co-owner of Kohala Coast Properties at the Kings Shops, I enjoy “plein aire” watercolor painting, playing the ukulele and singing Hawaiian songs. With 20 years of experience in the real estate business and lots of island knowledge, I will make your search for property easy, fun, and successful!
Paradise Matchmaker – Matching buyers and sellers with their dreams in paradise.
The allure and magic of the Pacific paradise of Hawaii captured my love and imagination on my first visit to the islands 35 years ago. As an educator and administrator in Oregon for nearly 40 years, I vacationed on the Hawaiian islands for nearly thirty years. After spending time on each of the major islands, my husband and I chose the Big Island for our new home.
The Big Island is unsurpassed in its diversity and Aloha spirit. You will love the sunshine of the Kohala coast and be amazed by the beauty of the Hamakua rain forests and orchid gardens. You will love exploring Volcano National Park, the views from the Mauna Kea Observatory and the opportunities for adventure whether you are hiking around Kilauea or snorkeling and kayaking in the Pacific. You will love the diversity of the climate, people, and weather. You’ll want to spend more time on this enchanted island.
Travel, golf, cooking, meeting new people and making new hoaloha (friends) are some of my passions. Whatever your passion, I am excited to meet you and help match you with the piece of paradise that captures your heart. Contact me today to assist you with all your real estate needs and dreams. Dream it, live it, love it.
