Prudential Locations, Hawaii's largest locally owned and operated real estate company, is making a strategic move to enhance business operations and grow its presence on the Valley Isle. Today the company opened a brand-new retail space at The Shops at Wailea, one of Maui's most luxurious premier shopping and dining destinations. The real estate firm's new Wailea office underscores its commitment to the Valley Isle.

"As the Maui real estate market continues to heat up, we feel that now is the perfect time to expand our presence in Maui. The island saw an increase in sales of 11 percent compared to just last year, and the real estate market in Wailea is especially strong, with prices nearly double what they were 10 years ago," said Scott Higashi, executive vice president of sales at Prudential Locations. "Opening this location in Wailea makes us even more accessible to our valued Maui clients. We couldn't be more pleased to expand our services."
