honolulu: Investing in Real Estate 101 - 02/24/07 04:16 PM
Chances are if you are reading this you have not had much chance to experience the fun and excitement of investing in real estate. Most of the people I know who are avid real estate investors are self taught. Several of my more affluent real estate investor clients were brought up in families that were avid real estate investors and much of their wealth came from those type of investments.
If you are not one of the lucky ones that was born into a family that is real estate savvy, you will need to learn the ropes. You can read all … (1 comments)

honolulu: Destination Kapalua Maui - Mercedes Golf Championships January - 01/07/07 01:32 PM
Held at the Plantation Course at the Kapalua Resort in Maui each year, this tournament bring some of golf's biggest names. Unfortunately with Tiger's baby on the way and Michelle Wie preparing for the Sony Open, two of my favorite names are not present. The Mercedes-Benz Golf Championships are the creme de la creme of golf, in a an extraordinary setting. No cameras were allowed during play time so the best I could do was to get the in-laws and my son under the merchandise sign.
On the other hand, my son got a big kick out of seeing Vijay Singh shoot one … (3 comments)

honolulu: How Do You Gauge Success? - 01/03/07 05:13 AM
When I first started in the world of business I equated success as having the top title and the biggest paycheck. It took me a lot of hard work, a loss of my personal life and cost me a lost relationship. Once I achieved the goal I thought I wanted I realized not only was it an empty goal, but it was a goal that once acheived left me feeling unfulilled, unhappy and looking to reinvent myself.
It also made me look at what I considered success with a more detached eye. A chance to analyze it, to look at people I felt were … (6 comments)

honolulu: Honolulu Hawaii - Arriving on the island of Oahu - 01/03/07 04:00 AM
Honolulu is one of my favorite cities on the planet. I've lived and worked here for almost 30 years and can't imagine living anywhere else. It's what I consider a true cosmopolitan city. We are ranked 5th in the nation for having a mixed race population which gives the island a flair and flavor rarely found in other cities. I do travel a fair amount to outer islands, the mainland and out of country, but there is no airport I'd rather arrive at than the Honolulu International Airport. Our average daily temperature is 80 degrees, sun is our middle name and we have some of … (3 comments)

honolulu: Hawaii Kai - Honolulu, Oahu Hawaii - Living in the 'BURBS... - 01/01/07 05:35 PM
About six miles from Kahala and 8 miles from Diamond Head is a well-populated suburban community called Hawaii Kai. Hawaii Kai is one of the most popular, family oriented neighborhoods located on Oahu's southwest shore. It has everything you need, from shopping to great restaurants and it is easy to just stay out here and almost never travel back to "Town" (the busier areas of Honolulu).
There are several neighborhoods included in Hawaii Kai, Kalama Valley (in the valley of course), Queen's Gate (many homes on the Hawaii Kai Championship Golf Course) and Koko Villas (brand new construction as of 2005) are all located near … (3 comments)

honolulu: Kahala - Peaceful Sophisticated Island Living, Honolulu, Oahu Hawaii - 01/01/07 01:43 PM
Near the slopes of Diamond Head exists a neighborhood with probably the largest quantity of nice level lots on the island. Kahala is known as the creme de la creme of the best places to live on Oahu. It's regal homes exemplify some of the pricier pieces of property in an area that is inhabited to a degree by part time residents who come the the islands for a few weeks.
Kahala has seen a revolution of sorts. Once predominatly inhabited by Kama'aina (local people) progress and the Japanese boom in real estate back in the 1980's changed the face of the … (5 comments)

honolulu: Diamond Head - Living the Island Lifestyle, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii - 12/31/06 10:44 PM
Many people think of Diamond Head State Monument as a national monument which it probably should be, it is truly the single most recognizable landmark in our state. To me, Diamond Head is much more than a pretty view from Waikiki. It's more than the Magnum P.I. shows made it out to be. It's home to hundred of mongoose, endangered local birds and people who thrive on running, hiking and walking in and around it. The photo above shows a picture of Black Point (taken from Diamond Head lookout), a sleepy private neighborhood where Tom Selleck (and I - no not … (3 comments)

honolulu: Brokers License Time... who has it? who doesn't and who doesn't care? - 12/31/06 12:50 PM
Here I am preparing to study for my Broker's license and I am curious from those who are experienced brokers, what kind of experience it has been for you. Is it just another ABR course in your eyes or does it add incredible insight into your business and your life.
How have you used it to enhance your business and improve your business accumen?
Has it help your marketing?
How long did it take you to get through the training? Is the test terrible?
Did you take it to open your own brokerage or to get rid of that dratted "A" behind "RA"?
I would love … (3 comments)

honolulu: New Year's REVOLUTION - 12/28/06 11:10 PM
Okay a bit of an evolution, but if I don't tell the world I won't feel accountable.
Business is good, my clients are great and I love what I do. On that note, I had to be dragged from my cave back to Active Rain by a Mem... have you ever been memd? It's a great way to look back at your stale old blog and reflect on what the heck have I been doing for the last three weeks and how did I let myself fall off the very map I sought to be so solidly placed on. It was 3 weeks of feeling … (11 comments)

honolulu: Life on a Rock... Part 2 (6 part series) Thinking about relocating? - 11/08/06 05:06 AM
Bye bye Ms. American Pie. Drove my Chevy to the levee and the levee was dry. may be what you are listening to on your iPod as you get your Don Mclean on. Leaving the Continental US can be an angst ridden, snake pit in the belly of your stomach feeling, as you first venture into the unknown. When you pack, lock stock and barrel for our sunny shores having some idea of what to expect is always best. In other words it's a pretty good idea to come to Hawaii for a short visit to get a little acclimated and find … (12 comments)

honolulu: Hawaii After the Quake... - 10/17/06 05:17 AM
For those of you not in Hawaii, I'd like to share some insight to what is happening here in light of the quake. I've heard from some people on the mainland thinking all islands had significant loss and damage. To clarify, our damage was most significantly sustained by the Big Island. There is some road damage, structural damage to business, hotels and homes. There were landslides, but nothing like I've seen in California. There was no tsunami generated... Our people, for the most part, went untouched. We had no fatalities and are very very lucky that the injuries statewide were minimal.
Our most … (4 comments)
