John Papazian
John was the President and Principal Broker of Haiku Properties. He founded Haiku Properties in the late seventies when he moved to Maui after graduating with honors from Stanford University. Rather than return for law school, he chose to make Maui his home and real estate investment and development his work. He met his German wife on Maui while she was vacationing, and managed to convince her (after a few years back and forth) to stay on Maui and raise a family. John enjoyed many hobbies including tennis and was a true film buff; above all though, he loved spending time with his family in the idyllic landscapes of Maui.

Diana took over as President and Principal Broker of Haiku Properties in 2023 after her dad passed.

Like her dad, Diana has a profound appreciation for the spectacular beauty and blissful lifestyle possible on Maui.
