maui: Hawaii PUC Rejects NextEra Acquisition of HECO
- 07/22/16 06:07 AM
Hawaii regulators recently rejected the $4.3 billion acquisition of Hawaiian Electric Co. by NextEra Energy Inc., and it was a relieving moment for many Maui residents, including Mayor Alan Arakawa who opposed the deal. His primary reasons being that Hawaii money would be going to Florida, where NextEra is based, and that outsiders would be likely to run into difficulties managing our unique and nuanced energy systems. After all, ours is the only island chain state in the nation, so things work differently here in many ways.

- 05/27/16 06:41 AM
Choosing the right island can be a challenge when you're looking to buy real estate in Hawaii. Each has its own unique set of qualities that add to its charm and influence the strength of your investment. For example, Oahu's economy is strong, but its real estate market is saturated, while the Big Island of Hawaii tends to be the opposite.

- 05/13/16 04:38 AM
Hawaii is in the midst of a major shift to renewable energy sources.

Its prices figure into the cost of living calculated by those looking to buy a home on Maui, which is why we Maui realtors keep an eye on these things. … (1 comments)

maui: Maui Real Estate Client Testimonials
- 02/26/16 03:14 AM
Choosing a Maui realtor is a big decision. Some qualities are universally helpful, like clear communication skills, a proactive attitude, and high responsiveness. On the other hand, you might need to dig deeper for some other important factors. For example, if your real estate interest is focused strongly on a particular area, it can be very helpful to choose a realtor who specializes in that area. Likewise, if your interest is broad, you might want to look for a realtor who is less of a specialist in any particular area, and more of a generalist with strong investigative motivation.

Maui is the place to be, if hotel performance is any indication.
