James Harris is celebrating 30 years with Whalers Realty.

KAANAPALI – James Harris is a most extraordinary man. Jim has been with Whalers Realty Inc. for 30 years – almost half of his life. He is a person that truly comes from the heart. He works at his passion, real estate, and takes care of his mother, Meredith, 95, who lives part-time at Kalama Heights in Kihei.

Jim, a heart transplant recipient, has not only been blessed to have married the love of his life, Mischelle Lawrence, but has been so fortunate to live and prosper here on Maui for over 40 years. 2014 also marks another benchmark – Jim and Mischelle will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Mischelle is also a long-standing associate realtor with Whalers Realty Inc.

“Life could not be better – we are living the dream on Maui,” said Jim.

A consummate professional, through good markets and bad, Jim has succeeded in providing his clients exceptional service and advice over the past three decades – quite an amazing feat in this business. That said, he knows the value of investing in real estate on Maui. He also knows what it is to live life to the fullest, and share it with those who have become so important to him. Some of the most important people in Jim and Mischelle’s lives are those that started as valued clients – now ohana with aloha.

With James Harris’ knowledge in the Maui real estate market after 30 years plus, these are some properties he considers to be great buys in a market that seems to be changing quickly for choice properties: Kaanapali Shores Unit #512, aggressively priced at $549,900 turnkey; a beautiful half-acre lot at 267 Anapuni Loop, which can be purchased for $750,000; and “The Jewel of the Pacific,” 80 Kalai Place.
