KULA MAUI homes for sale
Aloha from Maui. "I want to help you reach your Real Estate goals."
It's ALOHA FRIDAY once again, and many people on Maui will be diving into their weekend at the beach, for surfing, or windsurfing, maybe even some kiteboarding. It's been super hot, so this weekend the beaches will be packed. Just found out there's a high surf advisory for the south shores!
While it's a temptation, I will most likely have to pass on this fun activity, since there's too much other stuff going on. We have some visitors arriving on Monday to our Haiku home, which means I need to get the guest cottage cleaned up and ready - not my favorite activity. Add to that the usual weekend housework, laundry, and gardening, and you can kiss that day goodbye. Saturday is shot.
Sunday I will do an Open House in Kihei, at a vacation condo listing I have - (hey there might be a chance for a quick beach break, now that I think of it). Kihei has some great beaches and they get rocking on the weekends. Kihei Maui has a great selection of condos for sale.
Sunday night we are invited to a birthday party for an old friend, in Haiku. Well he's not that old, but I mean long-time friend. It won't be wild, because we all have to work on Monday morning. At least it's not far to drive home!
My weekend sounds ordinary enough, how about you? What are your plans for the weekend? Doing anything special?

Relocating Coconut Palm Trees - Before and After
Here in the Hawaiian Islands there's a real need for mature landscaping to make your property more attractive. It's not really tropical looking without coconut palms is it?
If you don't have time to wait for those beautiful coconut palm trees to grow, why not just plant some big ones? There's no shortage of coconut palms growing in Haiku Maui, where there's plenty of rain and sunshine for growth, and they just sprout up from the fallen nuts, like weeds! If you know the right people you can pick out some good specimens, and have them dug up, loaded onto a truck and hauled to your new home.
These 2 young palm trees were growing in a protected valley in Huelo, Haiku. That's my hubby on the backhoe carefully digging aroung their root balls. Coconut trees are pretty easy to relocate because they have a relatively small root ball. It's a good idea to cut off many of the outer fronds since they just get in the way and end up dying later. The palms can tolerate a fair amount of rough handling as long as they don't get too dried out. Dig them, move them and plant them the same day for best results. The really big ones are much trickier to move as you can imagine. That takes special equipment and a big budget. When a new resort goes in, they spare no expense and you will see rows of majestic, tall palms in the landscape. They can't afford to wait for them to grow, but they can afford to have it now.
Before setting the trees in place, be sure to have a well prepared hole, with some nutrients added. Once the trees are planted, water them thoroughly and soak the roots. A good watering every day or two for the first couple of weeks will really help them on their way. It won't be long before they take hold and start reaching for the sky.
It's really satisfying to plant your own coconut trees and watch them grow, and then harvest the nuts!

MAUI may very well be the Best Island in the World, according to Conde Nast magazine. I'm not going to argue about that.
As one of the Hawaiian neighbor islands, Maui is just a 20 minute plane ride from Oahu, which is the home for Honolulu and Waikiki Beach. Of course you can also fly directly to Maui to our big "city" Kahului. On a good day, you can take the Hawaii Superferry between the islands. The other islands in Hawaii are: the Big Island (Hawaii); Kauai; Molokai; Lanai. Molokai and Lanai are also part of Maui County.
Maui is a melting pot, with an international and multi-cultural population. In addition to the Polynesians who first came to the islands, you will find many other cultures well rooted here, such as Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Portuguese, Thai, and more. When the sugar and pineapple plantations ruled, migrant workers were brought in to work the fields, and diverse cultures flourished in this welcoming climate. Now that tourism is driving the economy, agriculture has taken a back seat. But the central Pacific location still makes this a perfect place for a cross-cultural community. It's all good.
Maui Hawaii - Visitors come to Maui for many reasons, including family vacations, weddings and honeymoons, golf and sports, and just plain health and wellness.
The Maui Visitors Bureau would like you to have an enjoyable time here in the islands, so please consult with them if you are planning your first trip. They can also help you with accommodations and cars.
If Hawaiian History interests you, be sure to see what the Maui Historical Society has going on with events, tours and projects.
The Maui Arts and Cultural Center is the place to find arts education and events, and our famous film festivals.
Maui has plenty of beaches to suit your activity level. Do you want to get out there and charge the monster waves at JAWS, or do you just want to relax with your toes in the sand?
Have you been to Maui before? Do you know what I'm talking about? Have you been bitten by the MAUI BUG? MAUI BUYER INFO LINKS
Maui is like no other place. Maui is unique. Maui is a nourishing place, a healing place, a loving place, a spiritual place, a fun place, a wonderful place, an interesting place, a happy place. Maui is my place. It could be your place too.
Ask your Realtor if Maui would be right for YOU. I am an experienced Maui Realtor and resident, with the local knowledge to help you find what you need. Talk to me... I'll listen.

I was Born in England, and grew up in the middle of Canada. After graduating from college in Vancouver B.C. I got married, and moved to Maui in 1980. My husband is a wonderful guy who introduced me to this incredible place called Maui. We tried living in a few locations like Upcountry and Kihei, and settled on the North Shore and bought our first Maui home in 1981. That was our beach house which we fixed up and eventually sold 22 years later. We now live on a farm in Huelo Haiku and have another property in Kailua where my husband ranches and raises organic beef. We live off the grid and love it. Self sufficiency is a goal we have always worked towards.
As a Maui REALTOR®, I can help others who are looking to start over in a new place like Maui. I will listen to you and answer your questions. Tell me more about what you need and want in a property. I'm listening.

Aloha - The Hunter - Georgina M. Hunter R(S) e-Pro - your buyer or seller agent on Maui
As a long time Maui resident, I know the territory well. I like to specialize in North Shore and Upcountry areas - Spreckelsville, Paia, Kuau, Kailua, Haiku, Makawao, Haliimaile, Pukalani, Kula, Keokea, Ulupalakua and Kanaio. And don't forget the "other upcountry" - Kahakuloa. Single family homes, country estates, oceanfront or vacant land, it's all right here.
I also cover the sunny South shore - Kihei, Maui Meadows, Wailea and Makena .... that's where the condos and resorts are! Some condos I really like are the beachfront ones like Polo Beach Resort, Wailea Ekahi, Makena Surf and Mana Kai on Keawakapu Beach. Whatever you're you looking for, I can help.
We are pioneers. We have built our own homes and created something from nothing. We enjoy a country lifestyle in the rural area of Huelo, Haiku. Haiku is mostly zoned Agricultural, so knowledge about that is important for first time buyers. Off Grid specialist, by experience. I speak HAIKU.
