Market Update
Have you noticed that our introductions seem to be getting shorter and shorter? The reason is that as the market has improved, we have become so busy, it is a full time job just keeping up with the e-mails, offers, and escrows.
Don't get us wrong. We are not complaining. In fact, we are delighted by the tremendous increase in e-mail inquiries and new business.
Sometime within the next week, we are hopeful to roll out a new upgraded version of our website that will allow you to search sold comps going back 6 months. We are in Beta testing right now.
It is desire to provide you with the most up to date and complete information possible, so you can make an informed decision on buying and selling real estate on Maui. If there are any specific requests you might have, please let us know.
Have a wonderful week!
Mahalo Nui Loa,
The Smith Team
P.S. The Smith Team along with lots of family from the mainland celebrated a fabulous week together culminating in the wedding of Mandira and Marcus Mathis on Sunday (Mandira is Ken's niece). It was extremely heartwarming to have a reunion of so many family members here on Maui, many of whom hadn't seen each other for years or who met for the first time. Lot's of beach time together, whale watching, golf, family dinners, etc. Ken will post pictures on his Facebook account when he gets a chance.
