Aloha from Maui Hawaii

Thunbs DownMy blog has been sparse on purpose. I am in Maui for the first time. Unfortunately I have to work will on this trip, but being a Realtor 2.0 or maybe 3.0 I was able to handle the work load through email, text, my cell phone and laptop. Winforms with Docusign enabled me to get an escrow open this week while away from the office and the fact that I have full Acrobat, I was able to make things run smoothly.

Outside the 3 hour time lag from the west coast everything else seems to be just fine.  My Thumbs down picture is reaction in dealing with one of the local Simi Valley Real Estate companies.  The owner of said company has seen fit to block all incoming emails from Keller Williams agents.  Said Broker is scared to death that the big bad Keller Williams wolf is going Huff & Puff and blow his house down.  How that relates to my trip is that it makes it very difficult to open escrows and transfer docs that need to be signed.  Compound that with an agent that still has an AOL email for a secondary email address and you get my big Thumbs Down!

Patrick and ToadAfter surviving the road to Hana and exploring the seven pool, we decided the next day to lay low and be read for the incredible Kupanaha Maui Magic Show at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel by World Class Magician Jody Baran & Family,  I am ready for tomorrow’s fishing trip dreaming of some coveted Ahi Tuna.  If you travel to Maui please make sure to contact Andrea Bedal (866) 888-6284 at www.mauis-best.com.  A few of the activities Andrea set us up with included Parasailing, Luau and the Magic Show at excellent prices. 

My kids are having a blast and It’s almost time to go home.  Night time is especially fun for the boys as they explore the Hotel grounds for toads and geckos.  Snorkeling today revealed the treasures of the reef just 150 yards off the beach.  We will round up Sunday with Surfing at Thousand Peaks.  Hopefully the kids will be worn out to sleep well on the Red-Eye!

Client Testimonials

Ted actually helped us find a new home AND sell two homes. He was beyond helpful with everything. When looking for a home, Ted didn't waste our time…My husband and I are really busy so this meant a lot to us….he always had plenty of houses lined up for us to look at and he acted as our personal chauffeur. He really knows Simi, so he knew exactly where to take us….and ultimately he found us our beautiful new home. Selling the other two was a breeze…Ted took care of everything. No complaints here!

Ted's continuing knowledge of local real estate markets enabled an immediate, correct valuation of the house we sold. Calm and competent throughout the process, he remained unflappable through the invevitable hurdles. His escrow team at Keller Williams were perfect.
