This is pretty amazing. As of Friday, May 8th I am no longer with Hawaii Palm Properties in Hawi. The broker and agents there are still among my closest friends and colleagues, but I have been recruited by Hawaii Life Real Estate Services as they expand to the Big Island. I couldn't resist.

Last year the legislature here in Hawaii passed the now-infamous "Act 137" in a well-intentioned move to protect consumers from predatory wolves wearing the sheep's clothing of a distressed property consultant. Unfortunately, the language in the Act was so broad that in the course of trying to a

There are few condos on the Kohala Coast with their own private path to the beach. Most of that prime real estate is taken by luxury single family homes with multi-million dollar price tags. Kolea at the Waikoloa Beach Resort is unique in that the front row of this gated community has 17 single

A 6-bedroom ocean view home at Mauna Kea Fairways South, originally listed for $4.7 million, has just been reduced to $2.5 million. Put this in the category of "best buy" on a luxury property in a rarely-available neighborhood within the Mauna Kea resort. This is not my listing, but our office s

Often when I'm visiting another island I like to partake of cultural events. Not all art exhibitions, lecturers and performers make it to the Big Island during their stay. One of my favorite venues in Hawaii is the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, which is not far from the airport in Kahului. Here i
