It was the pathway to a very successful career in the industry! Paul enjoys not only selling real estate but is passionate about teaching it to others as well. His company, Staples Realty, is a boutique real estate company. Paul is also very passionate about humanitarian work and is one of the co-founders of IHHELPP (www.ihhelpp.org) a 501c3 (non-profit) organization that has made headlines and has gained the support of major corporations such as Microsoft, Jones Paint & Glass, and major college campuses. IHHELPP provides disaster-resistant public restrooms, classrooms, and homes for disaster victims. After personally witnessing complete and total destruction in the Philippines (where his wife is from) due to typhoons, fires, and earthquakes, Paul and a few friends, some with structural engineering backgrounds, formed Archipelago 7000 (www.archipelago7000.com), a company that provides an affordable disaster-resilient building material called SIPs or "Structural Insulated Panels". The company is now in discussions with developers and government representatives to provide an affordable, quick, and permanent housing solution for victims of disasters or those who want to build a better safer home. Jeremy Moncur - Jeremy grew up in the Temple Valley area but has lived in Laie on and off for the last 15 years. After graduating in business at BYUH, he spent a year working in Utah and another two years doing an MBA in Southern California at SDSU. After meeting on Facebook (it's an interesting story...) and doing long distance for a year, he married his wife in October 2016. Outside of real estate, he enjoys surfing, reading, and eating (although you may not know the eating part by looking at him...). He learned to surf at the age of 13 when one of his best friends lived on the beach near Kualoa and has always considered east Oahu both his home for living and surfing. Reading came as a surprise later in life. Being the son of two educators, one a high school English teacher and the other an Economics professor, he pushed back on reading throughout high school only to discover in college the worth of a good book.

Starting from scratch, he struggled for many years to get his business off the ground, but from this, he learned what it really takes to build an empire from the ground up. After years of honing his skills in sales, team building, and real estate concepts, Jerome finally built his first 6 figure business in his 20s. In 1998, Jerome pioneered a new construction company which he took to seven figures, in less than one year. With much success came the need for expansion. Understanding the simple concepts and benefits of leasing real estate, he purchased a multi-use retail and commercial property to house his business. Jerome found the traction and confidence which has allowed him to do millions upon millions of dollars in residential and commercial real estate transactions and holdings. Over the span of his 20-year career, Jerome has done over $380 million in in-house transactions, with $150 million in 2022 alone. His unique ability to streamline results is what makes Jerome’s knowledge and experience so powerful.

After practicing on her own for over 7 years, she finally found herself in a place where she could complete her Teacher Training.

In 2021, Ally had the incredible opportunity to become the co-owner of Saule Yoga. Through the yoga studio, Ally strives to create a community where everyone can find strength, harmony, and balance. Ally is committed to providing instruction and support to students to help them cultivate self-love and confidence. She encourages students to strive for authenticity instead of perfection and to use yoga as a means to create an overall sense of well-being and inner peace. Ally is currently enrolled in the Holistic Health Counselor & Longevity Diet Coaching Certification Course through the Academy of Healing Nutrition. She hopes to use this course to become a Holistic Health & Nutrition Practitioner where she can support people on their journey to find their optimum health.
