Back in March, 406 Monarch, a bank owned property, was listed for sale at $1,700,000.  It was snapped up the first day on the market, and closed today at the asking price, "As Is", cash closing, with no seller's disclosures.

Whenever there is an event in the Kapalua Resort, I immediately run to my blog to let my friends and readers know about it.  This Friday, May 1st, the Kapalua Resort will celebrate May Day.  While people around the world celebrate the beginning of Spring, May Day is truly a special day in Hawaii....

The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, Kapalua Bay are on schedule to open May 31, 2009.  I had the opportunity to tour the Kapalua Resort's newest luxury condominium residences with clients just this last week.  It's exciting to see the progress of the Residences, as the grounds begin to take sha...

Last night, a colleague leaned over my desk and asked me in a confiding tone "How are you staying motivated?"  I hadn't really thought about it until that point, but I realized something:  even though our market has slowed, I feel like I am busier than ever!  I've been getting to work earlier, st...

I've been working with Kapalua Realty since 2000, and this is quite an unusual development in the Kapalua Resort market, which has seen very few foreclosures, and even fewer auctions.   Ridge Villa 2512, a one bedroom, two bath single level villa, has been listed at $495,000 in the MLS as an open...
