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. More »

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. More »

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. More »

Ever curious about where people who move to the Big Island come from? Even more interesting, where do people from the Big Isalnd move to?
Notice the strong affiliation between the Big Island and the West Coast
We all have our reasons for moving to the Big Island. Some come for beaches, some for the wide open spaces, some for the perfect weather and others for the Aloha. More »

Nestled on the slopes overlooking Keauhou Bay is an enclave of mid-century homes known as Kona Sunshine. Hands down my favorite neighborhood on the Kona Coast for architecture. Most of the homes were built back in the 60’s, when known as Kona’s “Beverly Hills.” No two homes are alike. A modern take on a Japanese shrine sits next to a Jetson’s Fantasy sits nexts to a minimalist study. All the homes are surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, at at nearly 50 years of age, many of the palms and other trees are glorious. And, to top it off, all of this comes with spectacular bay, ocean and coastline views. More »

Keauhou real estate sees great prices for luxury townhomes.
Na Hale O Keauhou, Keauhou’s newest condominium complex
What a difference a few years make. In 2006 this condo sold for $774,060. A two story luxury townhouse (MLS# 236244) is now listed for sale for $525,000.
I just represented a buyer for a neighboring townhouse with the same floor plan in the complex that had been priced at $509,000, which we were able to negotiate down to $450,000 including the furniture. More »

Alii Heights is one of Kona’s newest and most up to date neighborhoods.
Panoramic Ocean View just blocks from the beach from these Kona ocean view homes
This collection of homes rises from just above Alii Drive up to Kuakini Highway offering some of the best views Kona has to offer. When the economy turned back in 2007 the developer stopped building.
That is changing. I just listed and sold a home in the neighborhood in 9 days. The same month another Hawaii Life agent sold another one. Because of this activity the developer has decided to resume building. More »
