Abe Lee — Hawaii's Most Experienced Real Estate Educator

Meet Abe Lee

Hawaii's Most Experienced Real Estate Educator

At a time when most people start slowing down, Abe Lee is still at it — full speed ahead. He doesn't have just one job. He has three. And all of them help people in some way.

He's a real estate broker with 50+ years of active experience in the Hawaii market. He's an educator, operating Hawaii's largest real estate school where more students choose his program than all other schools. And he's a publisher, having published the definitive textbook on Hawaii real estate — now in its 22nd edition.

With over 50 years of experience and 20,000+ students trained, Abe has seen every market cycle, every boom, every bust. He knows exactly what separates the agents who thrive from the ones who don't.

A Lifetime Dedicated to Hawaii Real Estate

Abe Lee has been a fixture in Hawaii's real estate community for more than five decades. He's not someone who teaches from a textbook he read — he literally published the textbook. Principles & Practices of Hawaiian Real Estate has been the standard resource for Hawaii agents for generations, and it's now in its 22nd edition.

Known as "Hawaii's CPR King" for his expertise in Condominiums, Planned Unit Developments, and Cooperatives, Abe has developed over 150 real estate projects throughout the islands. He doesn't teach theory. He teaches from experience — from transactions he's closing this week, not stories from decades ago.

He founded Abe Lee Seminars, which has grown into the most trusted real estate education program in the state. More students choose Abe Lee Seminars than all other schools. His pre-licensing courses, continuing education programs, and now his post-licensing training have shaped the careers of thousands of agents.

"He's not teaching from memory — he's teaching from this morning's market. That's the difference between learning from a professor and learning from a practitioner."

But what truly sets Abe apart isn't his resume. It's his heart. Ask anyone who's worked with him, and they'll tell you the same thing: Abe genuinely cares about helping the next generation succeed. He answers his phone. He gives advice freely. He shows up for his community — not because he has to, but because that's who he is.

A Heart for Community

Abe doesn't just build careers — he builds up his community. Through the Homes for Charity program, he's donated to over 30 organizations across Hawaii.

For Abe, real estate was never just about transactions. It was always about people. That's why he created the Homes for Charity program through Century 21 iProperties Hawaii — a giving initiative where agents donate 10% of their commissions to charities.

The program has touched dozens of organizations across the islands — from schools and churches to veteran services, food banks, and children's nonprofits. Every donation comes with a personal connection. This isn't corporate philanthropy. This is Abe and his agents showing up, shaking hands, and writing checks from their own earnings.

The Homes for Charity Program

Century 21 iProperties agents voluntarily donated 10% of their commissions to their favorite charities.

When charities introduced buyers or sellers to Century 21 iProperties, the team donated 10% of the commission back to that charity. Everyone wins.

30+ Charities & Counting
💛

Arthritis Foundation

Abe's first Homes for Charity donation — made in honor of his mother, Helena Lee, who suffered tremendous arthritic pain until she passed away. A deeply personal cause that launched a movement.

🏊

Central YMCA

When Abe was 12 years old, he walked from his home to Central Y every Saturday to learn to swim. He joined the Y's high school program and had a wonderful time. Decades later, he gives back to the place that shaped him.

Make A Wish Hawaii

Multiple agents joined Abe for a heartfelt donation — part of the 10% program that brings the Century 21 iProperties family together in service.

🎖️

US Vets

Several agents pooled their commissions to support Hawaii's veterans — honoring those who served through the generosity of the Century 21 iProperties ohana.

Hawaii Foodbank & The Pantry

"Please consider donating even $5 or $10. Every bit counts to help feed our fellow citizens." — Abe's words reflect his belief that no contribution is too small.
