The Road to RUIN or Success in Real Estate – YOU CHOOSE - 04/21/10 03:16 PM
Honolulu County IS the island of Oahu. We're just one island of the chain of Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  In other words, we aren't a huge state like the vast Continental United States and obviously it's not hard to run into people we know from time to time.
I don't know about some, but many of us in the Real Estate Industry REALIZE that our reputation is all we have on such a small island. Stepping on another's toes, giving phone call slaps or virtual smacks for the sake of being "competitive" is a no-no ....in … (60 comments)

We ARE Searched on Google! - 04/16/10 06:18 PM
In September of 2008 I had the pleasure to represent a seller for the sale of his townhouse although we had to postpone the sale until this year.  When I got his call to relist the property he explained how he "found" me again.  He said he Googled my name and lo and behold I was ALL OVER THE PLACE on the internet.
Our search tags, keywords and titles get us leads, contacts and a lot of the time closed transactions. But after they 'find' all these great articles and posts we write they DO a search for that agent so … (28 comments)

If Not For a Moment - 04/14/10 04:25 PM

 
If not for a moment of wanderlust
To dream until that moment...
Without rhyme nor reason
A picture perfect memory

Commemorate the loved one most thought of
To remember thee.

Retirement Dreams Unfolding - 04/13/10 01:11 PM
Over a  year ago I had a Hawaii Home Seller who had to take the property off the market after serious contemplation. Life decisions were more important than selling a property and I surely understood completely. You can read more about it here>>>  Reflections and Compassion in the Real Estate Industry.
Having compassion no matter what the situation is  a gift every Realtor® should carry. It allows one to get outside ‘self' and step into another's shoes. In this case it was serious life decisions. Retiring, moving to another state in the Continental United States and basically uprooting ....and then the … (10 comments)

My Twelve Step Program to Being a Successful Real Estate Agent - 04/12/10 12:11 PM
Striving to be all I can be.....and then some: 
 
I have no control over others and do not try and MAKE them think like me. We are all human and individuals with our own opinions and there is no two that think alike. That's what makes me unique. There may be a power greater than myself but ultimately it is me that has to do the footwork. I will be patient and tolerant and accept situations on a case by case basis so I do not go insane. I will LISTEN to my clients needs...not tell them what they ‘want' to hear. … (23 comments)

The Waianae Coast | West Oahu Coastline and Interests - 04/10/10 01:52 PM
I appreciate the history surrounding Oahu and if one is relocating to Hawaii or just coming to visit, I strongly encourage to seek out the historic sites. There is more to an area besides the stores and malls and the history of an area will provide insight into the past to present.

The Waianae Range spreads the length of the West Coast of Oahu (Nanakuli, Maili, Lualualei, Waiane and Makaha are a few of the communities along the way) and separates it from the rest of the island. To get to the West Coast of Oahu you can just go … (16 comments)

Releasing Personal Information About Clients - 04/01/10 12:32 PM
Surely, when a loan officer preapproved a client we are sure that they have gotten permission from the client to release information to the Realtor® regarding their credit worthiness.  I mean, we are supposed to be working together while thinking in the best interests of the client and everyone involved, right?
In this day and age of the real estate market, we NEED to make sure that the loan officer they have chosen is telling us, the Realtors®, that our client is not just borderline by the hair of their chinny chin chin.
We NEED to know that we are not … (18 comments)
