Selling homes in your own neighborhoodAgents - do you like to sell homes and land in your own neighborhood?  It makes it easy for travel and of course you know the area well.  I think we all have an advantage when we sell properties closer to "home".  We understand the weather and climate.  We know some of the history of the area, like who the neighbors are and what's happening nearby.This new listing in Haiku Maui is really close to where I live, and I walk by it when I do the neighborhood "loop" walk - a 2 mile country road that meanders through the jungle.  It's not my listing, but I'd love to find a buyer who'll be my future neighbor!130 N. Honokala Rd is listed with Coldwell Banker Island Properties. $1,850,000It's a house and cottage on about 1/4 acre of land, and overlooking a la... 02/11/2023

Haiku Maui land sells - what's next? I'm happy to announce my beautiful vacant land listing at 320 Hanauana Rd sold to a nice Haiku couple who want to move to the country and build a home, or two.  They paid $867,765 for 2.2 acres with power and fiber optics, and a nice ocean view.This was a good match of buyers and seller, since they're going to be neighbors.  It all came together quickly once everyone met and it was obvious they were on the same page.  The seller graciously offered seller financing and it clicked.I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress, since this is close to my neighborhood.  We have another lot in this same area, and right now it's getting some upgrading before coming back on the market... so stay tuned for that announcement.See what other lots are for sal... 01/19/2023

Getting creative with driftwood and junk in Haiku Maui. What do you get when you take some driftwood, corks, and heavy guage wire?  A fun fish to hang on the wall!  A neighbor had a driftwood party and invited a bunch of us over to get creative.  She went to a lot of bother to gather piles of driftwood, and soak it and dry it to get rid of any creepy crawlies.  We were inspired with all the woods, scraps of wires, rocks, shells, and other fun things to put together.  Glue guns, power tools, drills and what not were all available, with experienced helpers to show us how to use them.  It was a fun party, and great way to get neighbors together on a weekend.  Of course food and adult beverages were also in good supply, and the chatter was lively.  Everyone had so much fun being creative an... 02/20/2020

 Aerial shot of Huelo and Waipio Bay on Maui's north shoreHuelo, Waipio, Honokala - Haiku Maui from the airIt's a big wide shot of this beautiful coastal scenery along Maui's north shore.  You won't see this from the Road to Hana, but with a drone flying camera it's possible. This is the coastline on the top of the eastern flank between Paia and Keanae, showing the typical terrain of seaside cliffs punctuated with mountain streams in steep gorges.  The land drops away quickly offshore as well, making for deep ocean currents just a short way out.We love it here because it's just a more natural way to live, surrounded by all the greenery, ocean breezes, soft rainfall, with ocean views and forever blue skies. The climate, the food, the friendly people, I could go on and on.You might have a... 10/09/2019

The Brando Estate on Maui is back on the market, and listed with Hawaii Life Real Estate.480 Puniawa Rd. is currently listed for $2,375,000A little of the back story:  Marlon Brando bought this 26.7 acre property when it was raw land, because he could appreciate the privacy and beauty of this north shore location.  (Haiku Maui is a great place to live for those who don't care for the city life, or gated subdivisions with rules and regulations.) In 1997 he sold the land to a couple from Alaska and they built this 2-story pole home.  As time passed and the couple split up, they put their home on the market and sold it in 2016 to a California man who brought the house and land back to life after years of neglect.  He cleared away a lot of the overgrowth, and opened up some nice building si... 02/22/2018
