CC. The location where the broker processes the most transactions each year

Explanation

Hawaii requires each brokerage to register a principal place of business with the Real Estate Commission. This is the main office where the principal broker is primarily located and responsible for supervising licensees. The Commission must be notified of changes to the principal place of business address. This ensures the Commission can contact and regulate the brokerage.
