Born in Seattle, Washington, Robert
is a graduate of the University of Washington with a
BA in Business Administration, which he has certainly
put to good use. He first came to the Big Island in the
mid 70’s and immediately fell in love with the beauty
of the island and it’s people.
He began a nursery
and landscaping business, that took his talents to many
of the islands in the Hawaiian chain. An entrepreneur
in his own right, he started one of the first palm nurseries
on the island and served as an active member of the International
Palm Society. A love that sticks with him today, though
he claims his Latin isn’t quite as sharp as it
used to be he could stil dazzle the average guy with
the botanical names of most palms on the island.
In 1981
an interest sparked for him in real estate. Robert was
top sales agent before starting Orchid Isle Properties
in 1988. He quickly rose to the position of a top producer
in all of East Hawaii and his firm has consistently ranked
as the #1 company in East Hawaii for a number of years.
Despite his modesty about his achievements, C. Brewer & Company,
Ltd. (Hawaii’s oldest corporations) saw in him
the experience, commitment and integrity they needed
to market their lands. They contracted him as their exclusive
listing broker in 1993 and added their properties on
Maui in 1998.
Robert’s accomplishments are lengthy,
he served on the Governor of Hawaii’s Economic
Revitalization Task Force, has been the recipient of
Prudential’s coveted Chairman’s Circle 8
times, placing him in the top 1% of Prudential’s
50,000 agents. In 2001 he was honored with Prudential
Real Estate Affiliates “Legend Award”. That
same year he won the “Cornerstone Award” for
Operational Excellence. Again in 2004 he earned the "Core Values Award". He is also a 3 time winner of
the Ho’oula Award (Hawaii’s Fastest fifty
growing companies). Robert also captured the Roundtable Award 2005, having lead the company to rank as one of the top 3 companies in the entire Western Region, competition was comprised of 445 PREA offices and based on the number of transactions closed for the year. Additionally to his credit he was
President of the Hawaii Island Board of Realtors in 1993
(HIBR), Realtor of the Year 1994, Director of HIBR for
six years and Trustee of RPAC for four years. Most recently, he has lead the company to be ranked as "The 2007 Number One Real Estate Company" in East Hawaii. From Honoka`a to Volcano Prudential Orchid Isle Properties had the highest total sales volume according to Hawaii Information Service (our mls).
He is an
active community member and is currently serving as President of the
Hawaii Island Chamber of Commerce and is also a member of
both the Japanese and Portuguese Chambers of Commerce.
Robert is actively involved in development and has a
number of successful projects under his belt and many
more in progress. He resides with his wife, Syleste,
along the Hamakua Coast and spends much of his free time
landscaping his own 4.5 acres. He is an avid golfer and
he says he enjoys the beauty of Hawaii’s courses
as much as the game itself. In his true humble style,
when asked to what he contributes his success, he will
tell you that it is “top-notch sales agents, desirable
inventory and a good support team”. Robert has
proven repeatedly that his word is as good as gold, someone
you can trust with a handshake.

A native Californian born in North Hollywood, Syleste always knew that Hawaii was her true home. Her aunt established residence in the islands in the 1930's and the connection was always in her heart. Of her first visit to the islands in the 1960's she said "I remember distinctly stepping off the plane and that first breath of the air, I felt Iike I had come home".
While in high school in Southern California, she
ventured into a modeling career and eventually became involved in the film and television
industry. She quit her profession when she married a
member of the then popular singing group "The Association". She spent several years
touring with the band and enjoying the many beautiful towns and cities across the nation.
After
her daughter was born, she worked part-time in feature
film promotions. As her daughter grew older she wanted
to work from home and began her own company creating
interior accent pieces and eventually was lead into interior
decorating. Once her child hit middle school, she obtained
a Series Seven license (stockbroker) and became responsible for the set-up of a newly constructed securities office in a major financial center and was the branch manager's right hand.
After her family
moved to Hilo in the early 1980's, she went on board with a local office
of a Securities firm. Next she took a step into the radio industry where she sold advertising, wrote and produce radio spots and had a Saturday Morning radio show. In 1989, she won The National
Exchange Clubs Project of the Year award for her employer
for the Prevention of Child Abuse campaign she conceived
and implemented.
With a broad background in the entertainment
field, it was a natural step into her position with Prudential Orchid Isle Properties as Director of Marketing.Syleste was actively involved with the
Hawaii Island Board of Realtors, she was awarded Realtor-Associate
of the Year in 1995 for her community participation and
for regenerating the dwindling interest in the boards
membership meetings. Her ideas created record breaking attendance among
board members. In 1997,
she won Prudential's nation-wide "Ad Focus" award
for the best marketing idea and best use of marketing dollars.
In 2002, Syleste co-chaired a fundraiser for the Pacific Tsunami Museum in Hilo, rasing over $36,000 for the museum. She served on the Board of Directors for Destination Hilo 2005 & 2006 and chaired the Marketing Committee 2006/2007. She conceived a new look for their logo and developed the concept and was the map coordinator for a self guided "Historic Site Map" of Hilo. Currently she is serving on the Website Committe for the Hawaii Island Chamber of Commerce. An artisan of many mediums, she likens marketing to that
of creating a quilt, "there are a number of small
steps that comprise the final product". Syleste says she is happiest when creating, be it an ad campaign,
piece of jewelry or entertaining friends at home, "when
the creative energy is flowing through me I am completely
fulfilled". |
