As a managing broker, Batham will teach and share her experience and knowledge about technical, contractual, financial, market and community information with her agents on a daily basis. She will also oversee the lead Wailea Realty’s current generation program.

“I am eager to join this thriving office and help it grow further,” said Batham. “I look forward to bringing my years of experience to nurture agents to expand the Wailea Realty Corp. team.”
