west maui: Dinner of Aloha - 09/25/11 11:10 AM
One of the wonderful things about living on Maui is the incredible community, which gathers together to lend support and encouragement to those in need.  Several members of our community have gathered together to present a "Dinner of Aloha" to raise funds to assist the family of Olivia Bianco, a young girl from Maui recently diagnosed with cancer.  Olivia is in home hospice care, and proceeds from the dinner will assist the family with mounting medical and living costs.
If you are a foodie and happen to be on island, you'll want to check out this six course wine dinner held beachfront at the charming old Olowalu Plantation House.  Prepared by Chef Luis … (4 comments)

west maui: Can an 10 year-old Save the World? - 02/04/10 12:03 PM
Can a 10 year-old girl Save the World?  Well, maybe she can't save it, but she can change it.  One animal at a time. 
My friend Stuart, a local police officer, told me about his daughter, Kaylee, who had started her own Retirement Stables here on Maui.  She came to him with an idea: she wanted to provide a safe place for animals that might otherwise face an uncertain future. 
With her father's support and encouragement, Kaylee has taken in dozens of animals--horses, sheep, pigs, goats, and chickens.  In fact, employees of one of the local farms chipped in to purchase a goat that was going to be sold, so that … (2 comments)

Kapalua's Plantation Estates: New Listing.

The Plantation Estates in Kapalua is one of Maui's most sought after neighborhoods-with good reason:  The two acre lots nestled along the famed Plantation Course offer these gracious estates privacy while enjoying spectacular views. 
My listing partner, Rob Shelton, and I are pleased to announce the listing of Hale Nalu.  Situated overlooking the 16th green and the 17th tee, this estate features a main home and an separate guest cottage (known here as an Ohana).  Inspired by the gorgeous views of Molokai and Lanai, the main home features pocketing doors, large lanais, and indoor/outdoor entertaining areas.
At this time, there are … (0 comments)

west maui: West Maui Caravan is more than real estate... - 09/24/08 12:14 PM
Today was my last West Maui Caravan serving as West Maui Regional Director for our Realtor's Association of Maui.  During this past year, I have seen a tremendous transformation in this weekly event and in my fellow Realtors.  As we all know, these have been trying economic times, and the real estate market has been affected.  Our weekly caravans have changed from being a forum where we preview  listings and talk about market conditions, to a forum where we still do those things, but we help the community at the same time.
Let me explain how:  Each year, the  President of … (0 comments)
