What Koa specializes in.

Premium Hawaii real estate that performs — whether you're buying for lifestyle, legacy, or yield. Koa works exclusively in the $1M+ North Shore and Windward Oahu market.

Beachfront

Direct oceanfront estates

Properties with direct Pacific frontage — the most constrained inventory in Hawaii. When beachfront moves, it moves quietly. Koa has relationships on both sides of these transactions.

$2.5M – $12M+
STR-Permitted

Grandfathered vacation rental permits

The TVU permit is a separate asset worth $150K–$400K in premium. Koa identifies and secures STR-permitted properties — the only legal path to short-term rental income on Oahu.

$1.2M – $6M+ (permit premium included)
Ocean View

Elevated oceanview estates

Hillside and elevated properties with protected Pacific views. Typically 20–40% below beachfront pricing with comparable visual quality and higher privacy. Strong appreciation history.

$1.1M – $4M
Investment

Multi-unit and income properties

Legal multi-unit residential, legal cottage configurations, and investment-grade properties structured for yield. Hawaii rental demand runs perpetually tight. Income properties move fast.

$900K – $3.5M

Estimated Annual Net Profit

Estimates assume: 35% STR expense ratio (management 20%, cleaning, supplies, platform fees 15%), property tax 0.95% (investment property rate), property insurance ~0.6%. Hawaii STR performance varies significantly by location, season, and property quality. Use for planning — get a professional appraisal before any purchase decision.

Why Koa

Premium Hawaii real estate
is not a commodity market.

The best North Shore properties don't appear on Zillow. They move through relationships — seller's agent to buyer's agent, before the listing exists. Koa works this market specifically.

What we bring: Transaction-specific knowledge (leasehold vs. fee simple, TVU permit verification, flood zone analysis, easement review), relationships with the listing agents who handle premium inventory, and buyers who have made offers and closed.

Key
We specialize in STR-permitted properties
The TVU permit is often worth more than the incremental price premium charged for it. We find them and verify their status before you offer.
Fast
Premium properties close before public listing
Serious buyers at this price point are pre-approved and ready to offer within 24 hours. Koa's network surfaces these properties before they hit MLS.
ROI
Beachfront STR properties generate 10–18% gross yield
North Shore beachfront with STR permit and 72%+ occupancy can generate $150K–$400K+ annual gross. Use the calculator above to model your specific property.
