hi: Plan, Plan, Plan
- 03/12/08 05:30 AM
Just a quick Reminder!!!! It's time to quit wishing for sales success, and make a plan to achieve it! This is a tough buyer's market, but one can't sit by and wait for cleints to come knocking! A goal without a plan is only a wish. Most of us just sit by wishing for things to happen and they seldom do. In this kind of market, you might now have a little time to get planning. Make a detailed plan of action and then start implementing it. Your business is up to you. Just a short thought for the day. RE/MAX Kai … (23 comments)
hi: Phishing and Spoofing can be dangerous to YOU!!!!
- 02/12/08 03:31 AM
If you receive email requesting confidential information of any type, please be very VERY careful. "Phishing" and "spoofing" email cannot be taken at face value; they are fraudulent in every sense of the word. They may appear if you look at them only casually, to be from a well-known company and ask you to click on a link. They may ask you to provide, update or confirm information that may not even appear to be confidential, but may be a route to confidential information they can access by other means with the information you provide. Most of us are pretty alert to watch for requests for Social … (13 comments)
hi: Maui and Lanai are having a Hard Time
- 02/11/08 12:32 PM
Sales of single-family homes on both Maui and Lanai fell dramatically to their lowest point in several years in January. There were only 56 homes sold last month, 55 of which were on Maui and only one on Lanai. This compares to 106 that were sold in January of 2007. This was the lowest number of sales in the last five years. By comparison, the lowest number of sales last year occurred in September when 74 homes were sold. I surely hope this isn't catching.

hi: Surviving in a Buyer's Market
- 02/06/08 09:19 AM
Surviving in a buyer's market is tough at best. At times like this, it is imperative that one makes themselves and their companies indispensable to the people they serve. We must all become the "must-have" provider of solutions for our clients and for those who will be buying, selling, or leasing property. This means that they need to believe that they simply can't get by without our services, and that no one can service their accounts as well as us, and here is where it becomes really personal. We all need to be as customer service oriented as we can possibly make ourselves and strengthen … (1 comments)
hi: Kailua Sunrise
- 01/19/08 01:08 PM
A Sunrise in Kailua is like none anywhere in the world! It is just and absolutely splendid. It is not unusual for us to awaken to a site like this from our home in Kaimalino in Kailua! What a wonderful place to live. We are generally favored with this kind of view in the winter when we have a little more rain than usual and temperatures in the mid 70's during the day. Evenings are another matter! Temperatures dive to 65 degrees and we absolutely freeze! It's tough to have to put on sweats or a jacket and long trousers to … (23 comments)
hi: Hawaii "Big Island" Home Sales
- 01/13/08 05:57 PM
Just by way of comparison with the earlier report on the home market on Kauai, Sales on the Big Island of Hawaii show a very different trend. Sales of single-family homes there fell 20 percent and prices are off 6 percent. Condos show a similar trend with sales off 31 percent while median prices are off about 8 percent. Clearly, each Island has its own market. We are still having great business here on Oahu, but even still the number of homes, both single family homes and condos are off pretty substantially but prices are holding reasonably firm. Our agents are staying … (2 comments)
hi: Bureau of Conveyances to Automate
- 01/11/08 06:30 AM
It appears that we may get our Hawaii State Bureau of Conveyances to move into the modern era as they are planning to convert to an on-line records system. This will allow owners to opt out of a manual process beset with bureaucratic logjams of the first order. This may also help with the identity theft issue. Thank heaven for the task force that was convened by the DLNR that includes professionals from title companies, banks, lawyers, labor, the Hawaii Association of Realtor (HAR). This is long overdue. Governor Lingle is pushing this with the legislature. If you are so inclined, it is always … (0 comments)
