Kauai Real Estate Leader Earns Top Honors with His $80 Million Dollar "Little Black Book"

Neal Norman, owner of KOA Properties, recently took top honors AGAIN on Kauai and #2 for all of Hawaii for finalized 2009 Luxury Residential Real Estate Sales with his powerful "little black book". How does he do it?

The name "Neal Norman" may not mean anything to you, but it means a whole lot to the lucky folks who are referred to him in search of finding their ideal island home on Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands.

Recently announced in June as the Hawaii's #2 Realtor in 2009, with more than $80 million in personal sales, Neal Norman and his company, KOA Properties, continue to shine as the beacon for anyone in search of that elusive island home matched perfectly to their needs.

The secret to his success? "Neal thinks big and out of the box," says KOA agent Amy Marvin. "He's personable, he has an abundance of local knowledge-and he's a brilliant negotiator and businessman."

Norman is quick to reciprocate: "I have a great staff," he says, "and the support of my beautiful family."

He also has an amazing client list! The names in his little black book include some of Hollywood's biggest stars, as well as the most successful names in technology and finance.

The lasting relationships he's developed with this sophisticated clientele undoubtedly have contributed and continue to contribute to KOA Properties' success.

According to Norman, the transition from client to friend is an organic process. His love for Kauai and its lifestyle is something to be shared-that's why it's not uncommon to see him out surfing with clients, which he considers "the most authentic part of his job".

What does Norman think of the current real estate market? "It's definitely the most challenging in memory. Never before have I worked so hard to justify values-and with two or three times the amount of inventory available, the entire sales process is much more time consuming."

What does Norman foresee for the future of Kauai real estate? "I'm a buyer myself right now," he says, "and the last time I was a buyer was 2000-2001. I'm telling all my friends and clients: 'This is the year'. They're going to look back and be glad they bought in 2010."

Curious how low the prices have come down in Kauai? Don't hesitate to call Neal Norman to find out today. No one knows the market better.
