honolulu realtor: 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

honolulu realtor: Dude! Surf's UP!!! Makapu'u and Sandy Beach, EAST Shore Oahu, Honolulu, Hawaii - 01/07/07 02:37 AM
When I read the paper this morning, there was no mention of impending high surf on the South Shore of Oahu. Not that I was looking for it since winter months are the time for Oahu's North Shore to shine whether it be the Triple Crown of Surfing, or Eddie Aikau Big Wave International Surf Contests. Granted Eddie Aikau's contest takes place when the waves are 20+ feet or more.... but it sure was big for the South Shore today! I grabbed the camera after I dropped my client's off because I have not seen this is some time. 8 - 10 foot waves

honolulu realtor: Brilliant Marketing or Dim Agent? - 01/06/07 08:09 PM
In my day I have had the pleasure of dealing with some of the most intelligent people in real estate around. Today was not that day. I got reeled in like a fish! After showing a home that appeared to be in excellent condition,, with no major WARTS, my clients were ready to put down an attractive cash offer. The home is owned by a Listor/Agent. As always, for the benefit of my client, I try to squeeze as much information out of the Listor/Agent as possible. What is her background, experience, how long has the house been on the market, why are you moving,

honolulu realtor: Buying a Home in Hawaii - Leasehold vs Fee Simple - 01/05/07 03:09 AM
There are two types of property ownership in Hawaii. One, called Leasehold and the other Fee Simple. Both have something to offer and each is incredibly different. Buyers and investors alike are likely, at least initially to consider both types of purchases. All buyers considering real estate purchases in the State of Hawaii should be completely aware of the type of conveyance that is taking place. Fee Simple Ownership is a property that is conveyed with no obligation to the previous owner. You buy the property outright with no strings attached after the sale has recorded under the terms and conditions

honolulu realtor: 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

honolulu realtor: How did you spend New Year's Eve? Probably not at Open House! - 12/31/06 09:37 PM
First of all let me say I'm a huge fan of parties. Especially the biggest party of the year. When my client called to ask me if I was holding an open house on New Year's Eve (which I had soooo NOT been planning to do) guilt got the best of me and I said well I wasn't, but that sure sounds like a good idea. Good idea? Good Idea? I kicked myself as I looked at my schedule. Talk about starting the New Year off with a Bang or is it Ending the Old Year with a Bang??? Well I couldn't

honolulu realtor: Sprites and Virus's and Malware Oh MY! Internet Explorer's Vulnerability - 11/01/06 08:13 PM
Think you know your computer, think again... Coming from a technology background I thought I was savvy enough to spot a virus or problems with my computer. So three weeks ago when my computer started running slower than normal I attributed to the very high quality Music CD scans I made so my library could never be scratched. I disabled pop-ups ions ago so I certainly could not be exposed that way or could I? I actively use more than one virus scan/firewall/spamkiller/security center on my computer so where ever I am I always consider myself protected. My realization of how compromised I
