As soon as I receive confirmation from the escrow company that the sale of unit #906 has recorded this morning, I will call my happy Canadians buyers and congratulate them for grabbing a sweet deal at Waikoloa Colony Villas. If you have read my last blog about the trend of the market at Waikoloa Colony Villas, [...]
Many people are saying that this is a great time to buy a home. It’s hard for me to disagree with that. As a matter of fact, between the record-low interest rates and low housing prices, I agree wholeheartedly. For instance, this beautiful Wailua Rise Estate home (MLS# 236180) on Kauai’s east side sold for [...]
One of the most amazing things about living in rural Hawaii is how much culture comes to us! Originally scheduled to be at the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort, Tango Extravaganza was forced to move locations to the Hapuna Beach Hotel due to the Four Season’s tsunami closure.
If you have a desire to build your “green home” in a beautiful new community in sunny Poipu, Kauai, now is your opportunity! Introducing you to a beautiful subdivision in Poipu where “green” is the theme of the development. This is a unique subdivision of 106 over-sized lots providing 70% open space once everything is [...]
I’ll be very honest here – until this year, I did not ever really consider representing a buyer on a short sale property because I had heard from many well respected brokers that they were just huge headaches and a waste of time. I’m ecstatic to say that I just closed my first short sale [...]
I try to read about and stay on top of the news that matters to me and my business. I’m always looking for some good news in the real estate industry. As I was reading Inman News, which is big in our industry, 2 articles stood out to me that I think will effect our [...]
A FREE community event! The kids collected 10,000 Easter eggs throughout Ho’oko Street Park in Waikoloa Village Saturday morning. It was all about the kids this weekend in Waikoloa Village between the golf tournament to benefit the Waikoloa Elementary and Middle School’s new music program and the Waikoloa’s biggest Easter egg hunt.

There are now two great options on the Bluff at Puu Lani Ranch. Just two of the seven homes along the Bluff are currently on the market. Just a few lots away from each other, both of these luxury homes have expansive and unobstructed views of the Kohala Coast, Hualalai, and Pu’uwa’a. Both homes were [...]
Stunning newer home in Komohana Kai This week’s WKRP is a 5 bedroom/4 bathroom ocean view home in Komohana Kai (MLS# 243788) with approximately 2,761 square feet priced at just $599,900.

As cliché as it may be—The Crown Jewel of Kahana is the most amazing home I have ever experienced in my entire life. I had the pleasure of viewing this property a couple days ago as I was on my way to go SUP (stand-up paddling). I’m glad that I did because I discovered that [...]
Another beautiful sunset in Poipu I will never get tired of this view. To think, this is just another day on Kauai. I took this photo while standing in front of the Beach House Restaurant in Poipu on the south side of Kauai. As my wife and I strolled around for a bit after dinner, and [...]
I pulled this article from Realtor.org. It covers what is happening across the nation, and here in Hawaii too. I have had the great privilege of working with a good number of Canadian buyers who are recognizing the values right now with cash. A good number of foreclosures cannot be purchased right now with a [...]
You know the saying that goes “all is relative?” Relative to 2010, Oahu condo and home sales are in a slump. Existing home sales were down 2.4% and condo sales down 8.1%. The median sales price for homes were down 8.6% to $548,500 and condos were the glimmer of light up 1.6% to $315,000. That’s [...]
