For Hawaiʻi Realtor Tiare Kabazawa, they all come down to preparation, persistence, relationships, and a willingness to grow. &amp;nbsp; Host Larry Gonzales sits down with Tiare Kabazawa of Coldwell Banker Realty for a conversation that starts with their shared love of the San Francisco 49ers and moves into Tiare's journey from luxury retail to Hawaiʻi real estate. Tiare shares how working behind the scenes for a luxury developer helped her understand contracts, customer service, and the importance of educating clients. They also discuss using AI to sharpen communication skills, following up consistently, and navigating challenging markets. Tiare shares how attending Inman Connect opened doors to meaningful professional relationships, eventually leading to her involvement as an ambassador and recognition with a Community Leadership Award. Larry and Tiare explore the value of mentorship, networking, accountability, and having difficult conversations with clients rather than avoiding them. Beyond real estate, Tiare reflects on her father's sacrifices to purchase their family home in Kailua, how her daughter Ava motivates her, and why she believes in taking healthy risks. From studying and traveling in Korea to learning how to work with her ADHD, Tiare shares how preparation, independence, and stepping outside her comfort zone have shaped her personal and professional life. &amp;nbsp; Featured Guest Tiare Kabazawa Real Estate Professional, Coldwell Banker Realty Hawaiʻi Real Estate License: RB-24733 Instagram: @appletiare Host: Larry Gonzales — In Search of Excellence: Island Style &amp;nbsp; Timestamp Highlights 00:00 Game Day Traditions 00:44 First Stadium Memories 01:27 Stadium Food Trek 02:18 Becoming a Niners Fan 03:19 Super Bowl Heartbreak 04:26 Roster Talk and Injuries 05:38 Purdy MVP Debate 06:34 Bye Week and Open House 07:22 Getting Into Real Estate 09:42 Contracts and Client Education 11:14 Using AI to Improve Sales 12:28 Inman Connect Explained 17:17 Networking and Toastmasters 18:51 Coaching Through Tough Markets 21:25 CRM Follow Up Reality Check 23:52 Hard Client Conversations 27:51 Family Roots and High Rates 29:23 Sacrifice For Home 30:38 DIY Mindset Lessons 32:51 Family Why Motivation 34:08 Travel Anxiety And Growth 36:11 Trips And Tony Robbins 39:14 Life Outside Real Estate 40:54 Fitness Sauna Cold Plunge 43:34 2027 Goals And ADHD 46:01 Impulsive Travel Stories 51:00 Korea Memories And Wrap &amp;nbsp; Connect With Us Tiare Kabazawa Instagram: @appletiare Coldwell Banker Realty &amp;nbsp; Larry Gonzales — Larry The LO Website: https://larrythelo.com YouTube: @TheHousingMarketForecast &amp;nbsp; If you enjoyed this conversation, follow In Search of Excellence: Island Style, share this episode with someone who could use a little inspiration, and join us for more conversations with people pursuing excellence in business and life.
