About Sean Ahearn

Sean Ahearn has been providing professional real estate service for Kamaaina and mainland-based clients alike for the past eighteen years. Real estate transactions can be complex and time-consuming; in most cases, these require experienced guidance, local knowledge and efficient execution. Regardless of all the information available to prospective Buyers and Sellers, you are well advised to align yourself with a real estate practitioner who has the proven ability to advise and manage the process such, that exposure is reduced, and value is maximized. Sean comes to real estate after a fifteen-year career in Software Sales and Executive Sales Management in the San Francisco Bay Area. Like many longtime visitors who have always wanted to enjoy the island lifestyle, Sean hele'd onto Kauai in the early 2000s and initiated his real estate practice with Hanalei's Coldwell Banker Bali Hai Realty in 2003, where he earned Kauai Realtor-of-the-Year distinction in 2008. Sean was recruited by Elite Pacific Properties in 2014 as their Broker/Partner representing Kauai where he helped grow Elite from a $250M brokerage to a $1.4B brokerage thereby becoming one of the top firms on Kauai and across Hawaii. Sean has been recognized by Hawaii Business Magazine as a Hawaii Top 100 Realtor designee on multiple occasions, including 2018 - 2022 and Real Trends Top 1000 in 2020 & 2021 - a result of his professionalism and production resulting in 235+ successful transactions and over $300 Million in sales. Most recently, Sean was one of a small core group that launched COMPASS in Hawaii as a Founding Broker - in 2021, COMPASS's inaugural campaign in Hawaii, it achieved over $2.2 Billion in sales statewide. Kauai contributed $320M to that total - Sean & his business partner Jim Karlovsky at AKKauai closed over 69 transaction and $115M in 2021 sales, over 35% of COMPASS Kauai's total and over 5% of the COMPASS statewide total sales. Sean has served on the Board of Directors for Hawaii Information Services, the MLS provider for Kauai and Hawaii, since 2010, where he works closely with the organization in a strategy and policy-setting role. Sean also serves on the Princeville I & Princeville II Design Review Committees along with Director and various committee roles with the Kauai Board of Realtors. Sean has been active with Kauai Habitat for Humanity, Hawaii Community Foundation, Kauai Humane Society and a number of other charitable endeavors.

Sean is the ultimate relator. He goes above and beyond expectations and even suggests things that may make his job harder but better. Not only did Sean and his partner, Jim, sell my lovely Kauai beachfront property during the Covid pandemic but since we could not travel there to facilitate the move, Sean stepped up, took care of any work that needed doing at the home we were selling but even went so far as to move our personal possessions to our new condo. I cannot say enough about the kind service that Sean provides. He is the best!

We met Sean when we were looking at properties all around the island of Kauai. We had looked at properties on the south shore and the realtor there connected us with Sean Ahearn to show us properties on the north shore. We asked Sean to show us some properties so that we could see what they were going for just as a matter of curiosity. We actually werent intending to buy at that time, which we explained, but Sean was happy to show us about a dozen properties. We found him to be very gracious and forward thinking, as many wouldnt have wanted to be bothered. He took us to a property in Princeville, explaining what a fantastic property it was for the price. His comments got us thinking about buying it as a vacation rental. After talking about it and doing further research overnight, we got back together with him the next day to discuss it. He ran details by us of all the things to consider if we decided to buy and was very honest about the pluses and the minuses of vacation rentals. He was the consummate professional, neither pressuring us or whitewashing the possibilities. We decided to have him write up an offer, which he very successfully negotiated for us, and weve had great results ever since we bought it. We trust Sean and his team at Elite Properties so much that we hired them to manage the vacation rental for us, and they have done a stellar job at that as well. We can give our wholehearted recommendation to anyone wishing to buy or sell a personal home or a vacation rental on the island of Kauai. He is in the top ten of island sales and his knowledge and love of Kauai and her culture are superb. You would be in very good hands and always treated with Aloha. MahaloS Sean and company??

Ok, it has all been said and everyone is yelling it from the roof tops. Sean is the dream real estate agent when you want to buy or sell a house. He will not only know all the plants, geography, weather patterns, names of the mountain peaks and social things around your potential home, he will also make you feel sorry for the agent on the aEURoeother sideaEUR? because Sean is always a step ahead. Firstly, he is a professional who will carefully listen to you and help you find the right solution for your specific needs and not rush the process just to close a deal. Secondly, he will manage the entire process -and this goes a lot past handing over the keys- to a degree that is best described with the word mollycoddle (yes, go look it up). Lastly, you will actually have fun. So now you are expecting the big drawback.Well, there might be one. You are basically out of options!He has often told me that I am supposedly not special and all customers get that treatment. Clearly that cant be true, back off you other customers, I am special and Sean likes me more!

Sean is an exceptional realtor and I cannot give him enough praise. He was very intelligent, knowledgeable, and patient. I believe one of Seans greatest assets is his communication. He was assertive with all phone calls, texts and emails and kept me informed throughout the entire process. He returned all my phone calls promptly. I felt well represented and never questioned that he had my best interest in mind at all times. In my opinion he is the best of the best and you can be assured that he will represent you with honesty, integrity with an in-depth understanding of the Kauai real estate market. Thank you Sean!
