Principal Broker and Director of Sales at Hualalai Realty since the end of 2003, Rob Kildow not only knows his product well, but lives it daily both professionally and personally, having purchased a villa here with his wife Barbara in 2001. A native of Washington State and a 35-year professional in the real estate industry, Rob says he fell in love with the Big Island many years ago having been captivated by the beauty, the environment, and the generosity and hospitality of the people. He made the move here in 1999 and has never looked back. Before moving to Hawaii, Rob was President of James W. Hodges, Inc. Realtors in Washington, and prior to joining Hualalai Realty, he served as Director of Sales at Hokulia Resort in South Kona for five years. In 2009 he was recognized as the top producing Realtor in the state of Hawaii; in 2010 he was ranked number three. Competitive by nature, Rob seeks challenge in both his career and in his love for extreme sports - among them heli-skiing in the Canadian Rockies and road trips on his Harley Davidson. He balances that with social rounds of golf, and evenings enjoying great food and wine with Barbara.
