Talk Story with an Advertiser: Clark Realty Corporation

tswa-clarkConsistently ranked as one of the top 10 brokerages in the State of Hawai‘i, Clark Realty Corporation represented buyers and sellers in more than 1,000 transactions valued over $380,000,000 in 2017.

That’s no small feat for a Hawai‘i Island-based company and Clark’s agents and staff don’t take the responsibility lightly. “We’re always striving to win the trust of our buyers and sellers,” says President Frank Goodale. “Service with integrity, aloha, and excellence beyond expectation has been the mission of Clark Realty Corporation from the beginning.”

Originally founded in 1995 by Putty Clark (1947–2016), an alumnus of Hawai‘i Preparatory Academy and longtime Waimea resident, Clark Realty quickly became the real estate market-share leader and now offers complete coverage of Hawai‘i Island from residential sales to commercial real estate and long-term property management.

“We’re locally owned, not a national franchise,” says Frank. “We’re able to respond quickly to changes in our local market and stay focused on our community. That’s important to us and helps us better serve our clients.”

Giving back to the community is also an important part of the company’s core mission. Each year, the Clark Realty Corporation Community Fund (CRCCF), makes grants to local nonprofit organizations that improve the quality of life for Hawai‘i Island residents. This year’s grantees are the Kona Hospital Foundation, Paniolo Preservation Society and nonprofits working to assist Puna residents displaced by the Kīlauea eruption.

For agents, Clark offers unparalleled professional support—the managing brokers have over a century of combined experience—and access to a technology platform that provides a competitive edge in today’s market. “We offer our agents the freedom to create business plans that showcase their individual talents. That is important in a market as geographically diverse as ours,” says Beth Richardson, the company’s senior vice president.

In 2000, Clark Realty became a member of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® network, a group of like-minded independent brokerages, and has developed strong relationships with some of the best real estate brokers around the globe. “This partnership gives us access to resources that enable us to help our clients make relocation or long-distance transactions as seamless as possible,” says Frank. “Our continued success demonstrates that the high standards we maintain have struck a chord with our clients. We look forward to bringing that same level of service to you.”
