Ok I officially have been wounded enough by this economy madness. After the foreclosure auction today I went to Chevron to pick up some Peanut Butter Mochi and while waiting in line to pay for it, I over heard the cashiers talking to a customer. (Oh you are off early from work today---- Oh got laid off------ Oh sorry to hear that ---- Oh everyone got laid off today! ---- Oh we are sorry, take care ---- Aloha) You could feel the sorrow in the room, you could the feel desperation melting from his heart, you could hear the breaking of hearts all of us; at once. Just right before the holidays, smacked right in the wallet, these folks have families, lives to provide for. I have officially been overdosed with sorrow and loss. And I am just reporting the facts for Foreclosures. Imagine if that was your father, husband, brother, boyfriend and the pain he felt.

You may have seen the recent article in the Lahaina News entitled "Whalers Realty Progresses in Hi-Tech Times," but if you haven't, we'd like to fill you in on our long standing relationship with technology and all of its conveniences.

Of course, our first concern at Whalers Realty Inc. is the satisfaction of our clients. One of the most important factors in our success is convenient home searches. Once upon a time, there were no websites and verbal or written descriptions were the common methods of deciding whether to view a property. When the internet was recognized as a great tool for the exchange of information in real estate, we jumped at the opportunities it provided.

The Honolulu Advertiser headline reads, “Foreclosure in Isles 10^th worst in nation” and its first paragraph articulates the following.

“Slightly fewer home foreclosure cases in Hawai’i were begun in the third quarter compared with the second quarter, but the number of pending foreclosures and the number of delinquent mortgages that aren’t yet in foreclosure both rose.” CLICK HERE TO READ THE ENTIRE HONOLULU ADVERTISER ARTICLE

As a Honolulu real estate broker, I see both good and bad news in the numbers. My beef...

SOS Metals Island Recycling is admirably hosting a metal recycling fundraiser for local non-profit organizations including Habitat for Humanity and the Community Work Day program. The fundraiser will take place from the 16th to the 20th of this month.

Abandoned cars and appliances mar the pristine beauty of Maui and no one wants to look at them. This is an opportunity to put them to use. You can bring all the metal items that you have accumulated or that have been abandoned, including scrap metal, appliances, vehicles and non-ferrous metal items such as copper, brass, stainless steel, aluminum and lead. Even vehicle batteries will be accepted if you can spare $5 so they can be processed.
