As we close out the third quarter of 2025, it’s the perfect moment to pause and take inventory. At Locations, we make it easy to track your performance and meet your year-end goals.

Picture this: You close what seems like a smooth transaction. Weeks later, your client files a claim—alleging that a disclosure wasn’t handled correctly. The damages sought? $25,000. For many agents, that kind of surprise could derail a year of hard work. At Locations, we’ve built in protections to make sure you don’t face those challenges alone.

In real estate, it’s often the behind-the-scenes safeguards that make the biggest difference. A strong offer or smooth escrow doesn’t just happen because of good intentions—it happens because systems are in place to protect everyone involved. At Locations, we’ve developed policies that work quietly in the background so agents can focus on their clients, knowing the brokerage has their back.

Our Transaction Management team has managed more than 30,000 sales, allowing our agents to focus on growing their business and improving their quality of life–not tedious paperwork. 

Have you heard? Locations has a brand-new office in Kaka’ako! It’s the beginning of a new chapter for us—follow along as we grow into our home.

Every year since our founding in 1969, Locations agents and employees have have come together to commemorate each other’s achievements and revel in each other’s camaraderie. This special event is an opportunity for new and seasoned agents alike to make cherished memories to last a lifetime.

The holiday season is a time for reflection, gratitude and togetherness. At Locations, we embrace this spirit through meaningful traditions that bring us closer. From shared meals and heartfelt stories, to notes of appreciation and awards of recognition, we take every opportunity to express our thanks for one another.
