I had a closing today for a client that is one of the nicest people on the planet.  We closed on her vacation/investment dream home at the Ko'olina Resort Communtiy of "Kai Lani" located in Kapolei.  The property is a fantastic ocean front condo and one of the few places on the resort where you can truly have "ocean front".  She was choked up and almost in tears when I called her this morning to let her know that the transaction recorded and now belonged to her.  She will fly in on Saturday to start enjoying her new Hawaii getaway.

The agent on the other end of the transaction was AWESOME!  She is extremely professional, courteous and diligent in her work.  Her name is Rachel Dowell and she works for Armstrong Properties LTD.  Isn't it wonderful to work with a TRUE professional on the other end of a transaction? 

The condo is located just across the street from the 12th hole at the Ko'olina Golf course where the Fields Open is currently taking place.  This is an LPGA event and draws the top women golfers from around the world. 

After I gathered the keys and garage remotes for the property, I walked across the street to watch a few groups play through.  For all of you golf nuts out there, I couldnt have picked a better time to make that decision because the first two groups that came through consisted of Morgan Pressel and Annika Sorenstam in the first group and Natalie Gulbis and Paula Creamer in the second group.  Only true golf fans would know why those were great groups to watch!

My beautiful wife Tonya Kucic is volunteering again at the tournament.  She is located at the 11th tee box and took this picture with Morgan Pressel yesterday during the Pro-Am.

David.... shoot me, I haven't heard of Morgan and Natalie... but I know of Annika... who hasn't. I had a friend here locally that dated someone that was on the pro circuit a while back. On another note, does Morgan know that she has a big horse on her shirt? lol

Seriously, that's great when you deal with someone that is not only awesome, but very appreciative.  And yes, you seemed to have not only picked perfect timing, but a great day.

Jeff-Try Google and look up......hmmmmm......lets say.......Natalie Gulbis and see what you come up with.  I think that big horse is the new Polo logo????

I tell ya, the transaction was smooth because of the client and the agent on the other end.  They were both great!

Aloha.

Neal-They didn't have any "half-captains" on the 18th did they?  It is a lot of fun to volunteer at these events as you are well aware.  Tonya has recently got back into golf after a 19 year layoff raising our children.  These girls on the LPGA tour have motivated her to get back into it. 

Have you been playing much golf lately?

Aloha.

I never saw this as I was away from AR from 2-11 until 2-22. We were in Fla.

I know who they are. You couldn't have asked for better timing from what I know of those 4.

Aloha Jay and I hope you enjoyed your trip to Florida.  I guess you must have played a little golf while you were there.

That was a great group and I know that you are well aware who these golfers are!!!!

We looked at Ka Lani when they were first for sale at around $600,000.00. Should have bought then! I think they go for around $1,200,000.00 now, ocean front. Sigh...

It's too bad that there is no more Fields Open and that the Pro Bowl has also left the Islands. There is a chance that the Pro Bowl is going to come back after next year. I hope so. Everyone has a great time seeing the NFL Athletes over at the Ihilani.
