Hawaii CRB Chapter donated a total of $12,000.00 to the Hawaii Children's Cancer Foundation (HCCF) on October 18th.  HCCF has been the beneficiaries of the annual golf event for many years and we are thankful to our generous sponsors, golfers, and volunteers who make this event successful.  

HCCF serves to assist, support and advocate for the needs of children diagnosed with cancer, their families, and long-term survivors of childhood cancer.  The Foundation is dedicated to the children who are battling cancer, to those who have survived, and to those who survive in our hearts.

Notices have been sent out regarding The Hawaii CRB Chapter transitioning to the Hawaii REBI Chapter.  But what does that really mean?  For those interested about the vast opportunities this change will make for us, you can take a look at REBI's Strategic Plan.  It is a simple synopsis of their goals and objectives to build your business as a CRB, and welcomes new designations and certifications to our "Ohana".  ​

In this course, you will have the opportunity to consider condominiums from a governing standpoint.
Many laypersons who have been elected to Boards and charged with governing condominium associations tend to have very little experience with fiduciary matters and do not understand their fiduciary duty to the homeowners. This lack of experience and understanding can create governance problems. This course reviews what constitutes the “association” what its responsibilities are. In addition, we will look at how Hawaii law and legal documents related to the project give the association certain rights over individual owners but also impose certain obligations on the association to act in the best interest of its unit owners.

This 4-hour course is Part B of the Hawaii Real Estate Commission’s 8-hour mandatory core course for 2015 and 2016.

Hawaii CRB Chapter Annual Business Meeting: A brief business meeting will be called to conduct elections and transition of CRB Chapter. Members will receive detailed information prior to this event.

Registration now closed.
