Meet Bruce Whale

With a wealth of experience, I’m here to ensure your real estate journey—whether buying or selling—is a complete success.
Bruce Whale

Bruce Whale

Originally from South Africa, I began my journey in architectural design in the mid-nineties, working on projects across Europe and California before finding my home on Kauai in 2000. Over the past 25 years on the island, I’ve discovered that architecture here is intricately connected to land management and zoning - expertise that naturally led me into real estate. For the last 15 years, I’ve partnered with Malia Powers, combining my architectural background with her 35 years of real estate experience to serve clients across all of Kaua’i and Hawai’i. This unique blend of teamwork allows us to guide clients through both the creative possibilities and regulatory realities of island properties.
 
My love of marathon running has blended into endurance road cycling, the climb up our beloved Waimea Canyon being my favorite route. Regular trips to the Republic of Palau immerse me in my love of the ocean, where I can walk along the shore of the 70-acre private island Malia which I own.

"Hard to say enough about Malia. Right on top of everything from beginning to end. We talked about and set the price just right to encourage early activity. And the pictures taken of the house inside and out were very important in setting the stage and picturing the house just as it should be. Good relationship. And knowledge of the market and neighborhood is crucial. You want to sell but not oversell and be honest. Just right."

"In addition to, and perhaps more important than, all of the typical traits one wants in a realtor (knowledge of the local market, attention to detail, listening to the needs of her clients, etc.), Malia embodies the most important aspect of all: Trust. She represented us as the buyers of a property for which she was also the listing agent. From the start of our interaction, it was clear that she had our best interests at heart, while also taking care of her other client in the transaction, the seller. Not an easy line to walk, and yet she did so with such ease and integrity that it felt like doing business with family. Every aspect of the negotiation process was filled with a sense of great care for all parties involved."

"Malia Powers is one of those rare realtors who combines integrity, excellent negotiating skills, honesty, hard work, and kindness. We were fortunate enough to meet Malia during our search for a home on Kauai earlier this year. We made an offer and were under contract. When the inspection revealed too many issues for the price we negotiated, Malia was 100% on our side. Ultimately, we canceled the contract. We never felt pressure from Malia to keep the deal going since it was not the right fit. She was truly our advocate, and she earned our trust! I am a top-producing real estate broker in another state, so I have very high standards for realtors. Malia exceeded all these standards, and when the time comes for us to buy in Kauai, Malia Powers will be our realtor."

"Malia Powers and Bruce Whale are two of the absolute best. We truly cannot recommend them enough! They are the kindest, most welcoming, and genuine people. They pair expert knowledge of both the market and Kauai with excellent negotiation skills and hard work. They were open and honest with each step of the process, reminding us that they cared deeply about our ultimate satisfaction. We are so thankful to have met and worked with them. When we are in the market to buy a house again in the future, Malia and Bruce will be our first call. It would be an honor to be represented by them!"
