Born and raised in the serene town of Hilo, Hawaii, Randy's journey from his idyllic hometown to becoming a prominent real estate agent in Las Vegas is a testament to his unwavering commitment to his craft. With a blend of integrity, astute market instincts, and a passion for turning houses into homes, Randy has not only achieved remarkable professional success, but has also positively impacted the lives of countless individuals along the way.

 

A foundation rooted in Hilo, a place blessed with lush landscapes and a strong sense of community that shaped Randy's character from an early age. The values instilled by his Hawaiian culture and the unwavering support of his family laid the foundation for the person he has become today. When asked about the biggest impact on his life, Randy points to his hometown, stating, "My Hawaiian culture and family have created the core values that I live by today."

 

During his early years as a real estate agent, Randy encountered a turning point that would shape his future endeavors. In the years leading up to the 2008 market crash, Randy foresaw the impending instability and advised his investors to hold off, while he focused solely on homeowners. Despite the short-term setbacks he faced during that period, his integrity proved to be the cornerstone of his ultimate success.

 

When the market crashed, Randy and his investors were ready to seize the opportunity, acquiring properties at advantageous prices. The investors that were on hold returned with their friends and family. This experience not only affirmed his instincts but also led him to establish Xpand Realty in 2009, where agents are given the freedom to shine under their own license names. “I attribute a lot of what I call success to that decision back in the ‘Foreclosure era’,” he admits.

 

For Randy, real estate is more than just a transaction; it is about creating homes and empowering people to build wealth, a process in which he finds immense fulfillment. "Creating homes, wealth, and education is a passion," Randy asserts, highlighting the driving force behind his dedication to his clients. Through Xpand Realty’s property management arm, Randy and his team manages an impressive portfolio of 500+ doors, emphasizing the significance of true passive income in the pursuit of financial freedom.

 

Friends, family, and coworkers unanimously describe Randy as ‘one of the good guys’ in town. He firmly believes in hard work and eschews shortcuts, asserting, "If the shortcut wasn't a shortcut, then it would be called 'the way'." Randy credits much of his success to surrounding himself with kind people who share his core values, emphasizing that his mission extends beyond personal achievements to enriching the lives of others.

 

It was also the work ethic his father instilled in him at a young age, and the Rich Man Poor Man Theory he lived by. All throughout high school, he often helped his dad manage properties, and was tasked with collecting rent. Teaching him the concept of passive income and having your money work for you.

 

In a world often consumed by ambition and material pursuits, Randy's personal mantra stands out: "Gratitude has become my new latitude and longitude. And with gratitude as my compass, I'll never get lost." This simple yet profound statement encapsulates Randy's approach to both business and life. His unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the opportunities that have come his way drive his pursuit of excellence and his commitment to serving others.

 

Beyond his thriving real estate career, Randy remains grounded by his commitment to giving back to the community. His involvement with organizations such as Three Square, where he helps feed those in need, reflects his compassion and dedication to making a positive impact beyond the world of real estate.  He has also served as a Director for the Nevada and Las Vegas Board of REALTORS® for the past four years where he is actively working hard to protect over 20,000 local REALTORS®.

 

Randy's generous spirit extends to his immediate family as well, with wife Teri, son Linken, and their beloved pet, Tank (a Shorty Bulldog), by his side through it all. When Randy’s not passionately serving his clients, he finds solace in his family and the simple joys of life. His son's sports activities take center stage, and spending quality time fishing and traveling with his family brings him immeasurable happiness. Exploring new places and revisiting his cherished hometown in Hawaii allows Randy to recharge and appreciate the love and support of his family.
