RE/MAX adds high-performing Hawaii brokerage

RE/MAX is expanding its presence in Hawaii with the addition of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Advantage Realty, a top-performing brokerage led by veteran real estate executive Myron Kiriu.

The firm will officially join the RE/MAX network on Friday under the name RE/MAX Hawaii.

The move brings 170 agents and six offices into the RE/MAX system — reinforcing the company’s growth strategy in key U.S. markets.

Hawaii’s real estate landscape — shaped by a mix of local buyers and international demand — remains a competitive space for both primary residences and high-end second homes.

“Joining REMAX is a powerful step forward for our team,” Kiriu said in a statement. “The brand’s global reach, tech-forward vision and agent-first culture align perfectly with our values. We’re excited to bring the REMAX advantage to our clients and communities across Hawaii.”

Kiriu’s brokerage has long held a strong position in the state. The firm has been voted Hawaii’s Best Real Estate Firm for 14 years by readers of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. It has received similarly honors from Honolulu Magazine, KITV and Hawaii Home + Remodeling.

It has also been recognized multiple times for its charitable work, growth performance and workplace culture.

Chris Lim, the chief growth officer for RE/MAX, said the affiliation represents a strategic step for the brand’s footprint in the Pacific region.

“Myron and his team embody the professionalism, productivity, and trust that define the REMAX brand. We’re proud to welcome them into our network,” Lim said. “This strategic move strengthens our presence in Hawaii and reflects our commitment to growing with the best in the business.”

The Hawaii affiliation follows a string of similar moves in 2025 — including brokerages in Illinois, Colorado, California and Washington.
