Prudential, Aina Maui link up

Prudential Locations and Aina Maui Properties have announced that they will join forces to create a new Maui real estate firm called Prudential Locations Maui.

"We look forward to strengthening Prudential Locations presence on Maui and expanding our company statewide," said Bill Chee, Prudential Locations' president and chief executive officer.

The joint venture is a good match of talent and ideologies, both companies have said.

The partnership with Aina Maui Properties, which Leslie-Ann Yokouchi opened in 1997, will add two new office locations, Kahului and Paia, to Prudential Locations' existing office in Kihei — resulting in three Prudential Locations offices on the Valley Isle.
