In other words, this award reflects sustained, measurable performance at the highest level of the global Coldwell Banker network.

How Agents Qualify

Coldwell Banker award designations are based on defined production benchmarks, including:

  • Adjusted Gross Commission Income (AGCI)
  • Closed residential transaction units

The official 2025 Awards Criteria outline the minimum thresholds required to qualify for each level.  International President’s Premier sits among the highest tiers of individual production, above Elite, Circle, Diamond Society, and Sterling Society designations.

Qualification is earned strictly through performance metrics.It is not nomination-based. It is not subjective. It is production-driven.

Why This Matters for Buyers and Sellers in Hawaiʻi

Awards are meaningful when they reflect tangible outcomes.

For clients, this designation signals:

  • A proven history of high-level transaction volume
  • Experience in complex negotiations
  • Consistency in closing at a top-tier level
  • Global recognition within one of the world’s most established real estate networks

In competitive markets like Kona, Hualālai, Mauna Lani, Kukio, and along the Kohala Coast, experience and execution directly impact results. International President’s Premier confirms that Marco operates at a level recognized among the very top real estate professionals internationally. 

A Commitment to Excellence in West Hawaiʻi

While this award reflects global standing, Marco’s focus remains local. Every transaction represents a client goal, whether that is:

  • Securing oceanfront property along Aliʻi Drive
  • Acquiring resort real estate within a gated luxury community
  • Maximizing value when selling a Hawaiʻi Island home

International recognition reinforces what clients already experience firsthand: professionalism, strategy, market intelligence, and measurable results.
