Neighborhood Workshop: Buying and Selling on the North Shore

Real estate is local -- and the more you know about a unique community like Oʻahu's North Shore, the better equipped you'll be to help clients. Known for country living, agriculture, world-famous surf spots, and a diverse real estate landscape, the North Shore presents both opportunities and complexities that every REALTOR® should understand.

Join a panel of experienced North Shore agents for an insightful conversation to gain interesting historical information about the area's development, key market statistics, and expert tips and considerations about buying and selling property on the North Shore.

Whether you regularly work the North Shore or are looking to deepen your understanding and expand your regional expertise, this session will provide valuable local insight straight from professionals who know the market best. 

Panel: Erica Lehmkuhl, Joni Shiraishi, and Peter Chessen (moderator)

10:00-10:45 A.M. - Workshop #2

Building Your Business Through Local Connections

Relationships matter in our local market, and oftentimes, successful lead generation goes beyond algorithms and automation. Meaningful personal connections remain one of the most powerful ways to grow your business in an island community like ours.

Join a panel of experienced agents for a conversation on how they cultivate authentic relationships, stay connected to their communities, and turn everyday interactions into lasting client and referral opportunities. From leveraging your sphere of influence and community involvement to balancing technology, AI tools, and your own “actual intelligence,” this session will explore practical strategies for building a consistent pipeline rooted in trust and local knowledge. 

Gain key takeaways to strengthen your business through genuine person-to-person connections. 

Panel: Cannie Chum, Nick Kawakami, Corinda Wong, and Josh Horita (moderator)

Keynote - Local Roots, Lasting Impact: Talk Story with Stanford Carr

Rooted in Hawaiʻi and driven by community, this year’s keynote speaker, Stanford Carr, will bring a meaningful local perspective to our Summer GMM, Local Roots: Living in Hawaiʻi. Raised on Maui with deep farming roots in Kula, he has built a career creating housing and development projects that strengthen communities and create opportunities for local families.

Stanford will join us for a talk story session to share his insights on building with purpose, balancing growth, housing, and long-term community impact — and why building for future generations matters here at home.
