Kailua-Kona, Big Island of Hawaii (PRWEB) October 17, 2005 -- When Kona real estate executive Ed Rapoza landed at Maryl Realty in 1989, real estate values across Hawaii were rapidly escalating due to frenzied offshore investment. Some 16 years later, 2005 finds Rapoza opening the Island Land Company in the midst of another red-hot real estate market (www.hawaiihomesandland.com).
"In today’s volatile world, Hawaii has the appeal of a safe refuge with its beautiful beaches and tropical climate on U.S. soil,” explains Rapoza. As president of Island Land Company, he plans to concentrate on building small-scale, intimate communities in towns or niche markets.
As a commercial and sales agent for Maryl’s Crossroads Center in Kona and Waiakea Center in Hilo, Rapoza successfully leased over 500,000 square feet of commercial space. His experience in project marketing, sales, management and operations of luxury homes and commercial developments is already spearheading several upcoming collaborative projects, including:
