I always considered being a REALTOR, especially in Hawaii, a pretty safe bet, and you would think, the day after Christmas, everybody is all fat and happy, in a good mood, and that your day would just roll off, not like any other day, but actually BETTER than most days. I know I was all Happy, the family and I, all had a wonderful Christmas, it was a warm, sunny,  81 degrees outside, I am standing a few inches taller with my new Christmas shirt I am wearing...... You know the feeling.  Well, someone forgot to tell that mean old dog, what day it was. I do a lot of work for Bank of America in their Coop Short Sale Department, so when I approach a homeowner in trouble, I have some very good options for them, in some cases, up to $30,000 in moving assistance - just to cooperate in a short s... 12/27/2012

Buying a Luxury Home in the Keauhou Resort Area of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Many of the luxury homes sold in Kona are used as second homes and sit empty for much of the year. I was visiting a friend in the upscale, gated Keauhou Estates recently and was surprised to see about 90% of the homes empty with the lights out. I suppose if you aren't able to use your home for much of the year, it's a good idea to buy in a neighborhood like Keauhou Estates that has gates and a 24 hour security guard.Some of the homes in the Keauhou Estates are used as Luxury vacation rentals when the owners are not using them and they are in high demand. Nightly rates for Keauhou Estates vacation homes range from the mid $400 range to over $1,000 for a fully furnished home with private swimming pool and ocean views.J... 11/09/2012

Buying a Vacation Condominium in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Lately, I have been getting a lot of inquiries about purchasing vacation condominiums here in Kona, Hawaii so I thought I'd put together some helpful information about the subject and post it here on my Kona Connection blog. Owning a vacation condo in Kona can be a very good investment and a special place to enjoy paradise with family and friends.  Ideally, it is both, but not always. There are beautiful condos for sale in Kona that are perfectly located, with ocean views, well maintained grounds and tropical furnishings that may not make the best investment property. When looking for a condominium to purchase in Kona, it is important to measure the individual condos potential against your objectives for buying.Here is an example: If ... 11/08/2012

Get a Free Kahakai Estates Home Valuation The Kahakai Estates Subdivision is a popular gated neighborhood in Kailua-Kona. Originally built in 2003 by Stanford Carr LLC. the Kahakai Estates offered 4 models of homes to choose from on lots that range from 1/2 to 1.75 acres. The upper portion of the neighborhood consists of 1 acre lots, some with custom built homes. Homes were sold pre-construction in phases and they sold out quickly. Although, the Kahakai Estates was developed and initially sold in a rising real estate market, this neighborhood has maintained values during the market correction that began in 2007, much better than many others. With relatively low turnover for a newer subdivision, new listings in Kona's kahakai Estates always attract the attention of potential home buyers.... 08/10/2012

I rode my bike to Kailua Bay to go for a swim this weekend and saw that they were having outrigger canoe races. Outrigger canoe clubs are very popular out here in Hawaii. Just about any coastal town has a club and on occasion they all get together and compete. Outrigger canoes have always been an important part of Hawaiian culture. For over a thousand years in Hawaii, they were the fastest mode of transportation available. Having the fastest and strongest team has always been a source of pride in a community. I see these clubs training hard along the Kona Coast and when they get together to race it's a big deal; so, I thought I'd watch for a while.  The first thing that you notice at an outrigger canoe race is that it is very family and community centered. Many of the people know each o... 06/11/2012
