You can find me on YouTube - videos of Maui

Holy Crap - I have not posted anything here in a long time.  You know how that goes.  I got some new toys and they keep me busy when I'm not working.  I am now a proud owner of a MacBook Pro computer and is it ever great!  I have been getting used to it and playing with the new things like iMovie and iPhoto.  Since getting a Flip video camera for Christmas, things haven't been the same around here.  I am loving making little videos of my beautiful Maui.Please visit me over at YouTube.com and see what's new for Maui videos.  Lately there's some beaches, and Paia at night.  Send me a suggestion if you want to see anything special.

Maui Business Boosters from August

Maui Business Booster

Over at my other blog on Activerain.com we were challenged to write some posts about our local businesses. It's a great way to network within the community, and get to see what's happening right in your own neighborhood. Blogging about these Maui businesses will help them to gain rankings on Google and maybe make them easier to find, especially those that don't have a website. I have to admit it's also fun.
Here's the featured posts from Maui in August:
Island Honda Maui
Charley's Restaurant in Paia Maui
The Greek Bistro in Kihei Maui
Hotel Wailea Maui
Hi-Tech Maui, Paia surf shop

If you have a business on Maui that could use a little promotion, please let me know and I would be happy to add you to the list. It won't cost you anything but a little time.

Aloha from Haiku Maui!

Back on Maui

Back on Maui time...

Just got back from a Canadian vacation - we were gone for almost the whole month of July. Canada is a great place to visit, but I have to say it sure is good to be back home.

Here are some things about the mainland that I don't miss at all:
billboards, bugs - blackflies, no-see-ems, horseflies, racoons, skunks, freeways, seagulls, crows, panhandlers, huge crowds.

What I do like about the mainland is: lots of new places to visit, great variety of restaurants, relatives who won't ever make the trip to Maui.

Aloha until next time!

Maui Bacon gets healthy - just for fun

Aloha from Hawaii

Ok, so when I'm not busy selling real estate on Maui, we like to travel to the other islands here in Hawaii, so I can work at selling real estate from a different location (no rest for the weary). Last week we visited the Big Island of Hawaii and took along my little bacon buddy for some fun. You know what they say about "all work and no play".

We toured the NELHA facility over there and enjoyed the benefits of some 2,000 year old water which is made from really really deep ocean water. The salt is removed and some minerals are put back in. Most of this water gets shipped to Japan, where they sell it as a health food! Maybe there's something to it? I wonder what would happen if you removed all the salt from bacon? For more bacon fun and adventures, be sure to check out the whatdobacondo blog right here on Blogger.com
You can even get your very own bacon buddy and join in the fun!

It's sunny this weekend on Maui and I'm really glad to be staying home to send out the newsletter and work in the garden. The new crop of beans and beets are going off, and little start plants are ready to go into the ground for summer eating. Everyone's talking about putting in a garden it seems. Don't forget there's a Farmer's Market every Saturday morning at the Eddie Tam Center in Makawao. Get fresh produce, jams and jellies and other goodies, help the local farmers.

Aloha from Maui... "I want to help you reach your Real Estate goals."

KIHEI OCEANFRONT AND BEACHFRONT CONDOS - PICTURES!
Yesterday I was looking at a few Kihei condos for sale and I snapped a few pictures with the back up camera, wishing I had charged up batteries on camera #1. Sheesh, ran out of memory already, not to mention shooting blind, the viewfinder way. But like I always say, it's hard to take a crappy picture on MAUI. How do you like these shots taken from some beachfront Kihei condos?

If views like this are what you want for you Kihei condo, I know where to find them! Call me. (Don't call me if you're trying to sell me SEO.)

HAWAII IS SMOKE FREE

On November 16, 2006, Hawai’i celebrated becoming the 14th state to go smoke-free. This law means people can't smoke inside any public buildings, or even near the entrance or windows. Smoking is prohibited in all enclosed or partially enclosed places of employment as well as places open to the public. For a quick overview of what this means, check out the Department of Health website.

Some businesses are choosing not to comply, and allow their patrons to light up while enjoying their meals and drinks. Do you think this is a good idea?

Are you on TWITTER.COM?

What is it? Twitter.com is another social networking site, where you post small blogs or comments up to 140 characters. You can follow other members, and they can follow you, meaning that you can read each other's posts. It's pretty easy to figure out once you're in. Start surfing around and reading some tweets, then click FOLLOW when you like what you see. Soon, others will follow you as well, and you just need to attend the gathering. It's sort of like going to the pub, but bring your own drinks. You can join in the conversation by clicking the little return arrow at the end of a tweet, to reply to the speaker. Plus, there's a lot more to it once you get going.

If you want to follow me, I'll follow you. I like to post some pictures (via Twitpics), link to news stories, talk about Maui events and properties for sale. I'll help you navigate if you're new. Why not give it a try?

Maui AG zoning - what does it mean?

AG Zoning on Maui

Here in Haiku Maui most properties are zoned AG (agricultural) which brings up the question.... what does AG zoning mean? In a nutshell it means that you are expected to be engaged in farming of some sort, and your ability to build will be governed by the rules of the county planning department. Typically you will be allowed to build 2 dwellings, one being no more than 1,000 sf. When applying for a building permit, you will be expected to submit a "farm plan" outlining your concept for income production along with a plot plan showing areas under cultivation or proposed cultivation.

Here is a useful link if you are considering buying an AG property on Maui:

Maui County Code for Ag lands -

http://tinyurl.com/boa8h6

If you have questions, be sure to contact the Planning Department for specific answers. They are located at:

250 S. High St. Kalana Pakui Bldg Ste 200

Wailuku, HI 96793

Ph: (808) 270-7735

Fax: (808) 270-7634

You can also visit their website and look for answers there.

I hope this was helpful. Be sure to contact me if you have any questions about buying property on Maui.

My WWOOFer is coming tomorrow - AAACCCK

Our next WWOOFer arrives at the Kahului airport tomorrow, and I don't know if I'm ready.

We got her cabin ready today - I hope. When we went to "the minipad" to check it out, the place had been invaded by ants! Those little bastards had made a nest in the window blinds, and in the windows themselves. Not to mention the garbage can that was breeding mosquitoes! Anyway, we got it all taken care of and now the minipad is tidy and ready to occupy.... whew.

This will be our second time experiencing a traveling WWOOFer. So far so good. I hope we can keep her busy. She likes to surf!

What's a WWOOFer? WWOOF is an organization that connects willing workers and organic farms around the world. We're trying it out still.

If you're looking for an organic farm on Maui, there's some for sale, especially in Haiku. Let me know if I can help you find one.
