Market Update
We have always wondered how to keep our clients updated in a more timely manner. Sure, we do our best to bring you the best buys each week; however, the truly hot deals are often gone in hours of hitting the market.
We don't want to see you miss out on that extraordinary property you've been waiting for, so now you can follow us on Twitter. Actually, this is Ken's account. We will let you know if we set-up one for The Smith Team. We are looking in to setting up a Twitter widget on our website, so that will be another way to get real time updates.
If you want to see what we are doing in our personal lives, connect with us through Facebook. Lastly, if you want to set-up a video call, Ken can be found on SKYPE at ken.smith.maui.
Have a wonderful week.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
The Smith Team
P.S. Extraordinary opportunity to buy a luxury condo at Ho'olei either as full or partial ownership with Seller financing as low as 3%. Downpayment and closing costs for 7 weeks ownership start at under $100K. Please contact us for further details so we can show you how affordable it is to own property on Maui.
