kailua kona: Everybody is always asking for a Fixer in Hawaii - here it is - 09/29/14 03:23 AM
I cannot begin to tell you how many times a buyer walks through the door, looking for a fixer, has to be in a nice area,  and of course, at a good deal? Nothing wrong with that, heck I am looking for that also, but honestly I could make a bridge from Kona to the Mainland, if I laid them all out, head to toe - OK, I may be exaggerating a little....
With prices in this area from $579,000 to $899,000 this one could be the diamond in the rough - you decide.

Aloha,
Lance Owens (RS) here with LUVA Real Estate. 
I have done many listing presentations, and at times it can be difficult to explain, in words how an online presence is and what it means to you.  
So if I am going to talk to you about being online, I need to have you online! 
Research also shows that your mind will process "visuals" 60,000 times faster than a "text".
So I think I will just stop typing and invite you to come on in, take a look at the "visuals" below, they are all snapshots to live links, please … (2 comments)
