R, RA, RB, RS, R you kidding?
Most people outside of the real estate industry are unaware of what all those letters after an agent’s name mean. Heck, even many insiders don’t know about all the credentials available since just a small percentage of real estate salespeople attain them.

As a buyer’s agent for West Hawaii, I’m keeping plenty busy despite the gloomy national news. Late summer and fall is usually a slow time here for buyers, but I’m writing as many offers for clients as I was at the traditional peak time back in January and February. Read entire post →

Oceanfront parcel at One Puako Bay (MLS 215500) is 6.76 acres of quiet black sand
A year ago I wrote a primer on the topic of what someone buying oceanfront property in Hawai’i needs to know. In it I explained that “conservation” is the land use designation generally applied to coastal lands. Now, for the first time in 16 years, the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources is reviewing the rules pertaining to areas zoned conservation. The most significant proposal would specify the shoreline building setback to be 40 feet from the certified shoreline PLUS 70 times the average annual coastal erosion rate. (The public comment period lasts until September 7th if you have an interest and want to register your opinion).

Pasture with huge mango trees
It’s mango season again. Go to any farmer’s market and there is table after table of mangoes of every shape and size; huge green ones, small pointy yellow ones, some with every color of the rainbow. I love them all. I’ve even discovered a “somewhat” tidy way to eat the common mango that litters the roads where I walk my dog here in Captain Cook. You pick them up and massage them firmly until they are all soft and squishy, then tear a small hole with your teeth and suck the pulp out. Sexy fruit. Love them. Read entire post →

For those of you that don’t know, Ko Olina is West Oahu’s first marina resort community to consist of a broad array of residences including hotels, condos, single family homes, and timeshares—even including a new Disney themed hotel/timeshare venture opening in the fall of 2011.
Ko Olina’s private marina
Here are some reasons why to invest in Ko Olina now:
* Growth sector…”Sunset Coast”
* Sunny, warm, and dry climate with nice tradewinds Read entire post →

All of the Hawaiian Islands are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, which is a beautiful and scenic body of water.
1435 Laamia St. (MLS# 1008129) is in escrow with an asking price of $1,595,000
Although many people would love to live on the water, there is a finite amount of oceanfront residential land, and consequentially it is usually very expensive. Others like myself feel that if you can’t live on the water then the next best thing is to be able to see the ocean. For that reason, over the years hillside or ridge types of residential areas have been developed.
Because it is impossible to cover them all at once, the focus is going to be on four of Oahu’s newer East Side Ridge Communities of Waialae Iki and Kahala Kua, with Hawaii Loa and Napali Haweo to be covered in a follow up blog. Both of these have ocean views that will see different vistas from Portlock Point to Diamond Head to Ewa, and even views of Molokai and Lanai on clear days! Read entire post →

Architect Carey Smoot knows cool.
The man built homes for Bob Dylan and Steve McQueen. Here in Kona, he designed an estate (MLS# 229175) nestled amongst the coffee farms of Holualoa overlooking Keauhou Bay, a collection of six thatched roof huts surrounding a stunning pool. Originally priced at $1.2 million, this estate is now for sale at $1,150,000. Read entire post →
