About Live Aloha
Founded in 2016, Live Aloha Realty is a charitable company offering top-notch, personalized real estate sales and property management services. Principal Broker Kai Ohuchi opened Live Aloha Realty in order to provide premier services to clients while giving back to the community at large. Live Aloha Realty works with a number of local nonprofit charities who help those in need on the Island of Hawaii, benefiting the community by spreading aloha, or as we like to say, Living Aloha and Giving Aloha.
At Live Aloha Realty we believe we can improve the lives of the people of Hawaii through real estate. In order to help our community thrive we we donate a portion of of every broker’s sales commission to local non-profits in Hawaii, supporting a variety of causes including the arts, education, the environment, and of course, housing. We sincerely believe in what these organizations are doing for Hawaii. By giving back we hope to participate in building a better tomorrow for our keiki and our island.
At Live Aloha Realty, each of our team members – or ‘ohana, as we like to think of them – truly lives the mission of giving, and it is evident in their interactions with each other, with their clients, and with the community. With Live Aloha Realty, you can buy or sell your home and at the same time, do something wonderful for the Big Island community. Contact us today to see how our ‘ohana can help you make that dream a reality!
Kai Ohuchi – Principal Broker, R(B), Lic. #22081
Kai was born in Tokyo, Japan, and spent the first 18 years of his life going back and forth between Hawaii and Japan, eventually ending up attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa on a tennis scholarship. After college, he moved back to Japan, where he taught high school English for two years before getting an opportunity to play professional tennis on the Pro Circuit, which he did for three years. He eventually met a local girl from Oahu, who he married in 2007. After two years living in Tokyo and working in the corporate environment, they moved to Hawaii Island to settle and raise their family. He has managed luxury vacation rentals since 2009, and has a passion for business and entrepreneurship which is eclipsed only by his love for his family. His world revolves around his wife Coralie, daughter Kalina, and son Keisen, who are his true joys in life. He also enjoys playing tennis, golf, ocean sports, and traveling. His idea for creating a brokerage where a portion of commissions are systematically donated to Big Island charities came from reading a book written by the founder of Toms Shoes, whose mission is to donate a pair of new shoes to those in need around the world, for every pair of shoes sold. One for One. This model has since been replicated in numerous successful businesses globally, ranging from glasses to socks and hats. Kai hopes to utilize real estate as a tool to create meaningful change for the people of Hawaii Island, where poverty levels are among the highest in the State.
