The Kauai Marathon 2009 September 9, 2009
Posted by Sarah in : Updates , add a commentOn Sunday, September 6th, more than 1,700 runners participated in the Inaugural Kauai Marathon on the South Shore of the island of Kauai. With the perfect back drop of the ocean and palm trees of Poipu, the runners were able to choose between doing the half marathon at 13.1 miles or the full enchilada at 26.2 miles.
This being my first marathon, I decided to do the half marathon. Already being a runner, I trained for this event (thanks to Lois Lutz, my trainer) and felt great during the run all the way through to the finish! My friend and associate, Ruth Marvin, also decided to do her first half marathon and we ran it together. Ruth, who didn’t even train for this marathon did great and finished a little before me…that brat! Lois Lutz, our office accountant, ran her first full marathon and did fantastic! Debi Rickert, our front desk goddess, and my personal friend and ghost writer volunteered and was at aid station #10 that was located just before the 10 mile mark.
Debi and a crazy group of volunteers at aid station 10 handed out water and other essentials while cheering all of us runners with enthusiastic smiles and lots of energy which spurred us on.
This event, which drew Kama’aina and Tourists from around the globe, was a major success and will hopefully become an annual event for the island of Kauai. Congratulations to all of the participants and a big Mahalo to all of the volunteers!!!
If you would like to become a part of the Kauai lifestyle, there are truly some fantastic real estate deals available.
Makua Hideaway, a County Approved Vacation Rental, located in Haena on the North Shore of Kauai is just one of the great deals I am writing about. This three bedroom, three bath home is walking distance to some of the best beaches and is available for $598,000.
Hanalei Palms Hale, also a County Approved Vacation Rental, is located in the lovely town of Hanalei on the North Shore of Kauai. This three bedroom, four bath home is within walking distance to the world renowned Hanalei Bay, shopping and restaurants and is available for $1,875,000. The owner is willing to do seller financing for qualified buyers.
Please contact me today for more information.

Supporting the community is important August 20, 2009
Posted by Sarah in : Updates , add a commentThis past Saturday, the Real Estate Community came together for the Kauai Board of Realtor’s Rock and Bowl Fundraiser. The funds raised in this wonderful event will go towards the scholarship program aimed to help the students of Kauai with their continuing education.
The turn out to this event was phenomenal and everyone had a great time. Our company, Coldwell Banker Bali Hai Realty, Inc. sponsored two lanes. One of the lanes was aimed for the adults and the other was for the keiki to bowl. You did not have to be a great bowler, you just needed to let loose and have fun. There was a silent auction with a lot of great items donated by various businesses around the island. There was great food, fun music, and everyone had a blast!
The Kauai Board of Realtors surpassed their goal in this fundraiser and hopefully, they will do it again next year!
Now for some business news; I have a great listing in Kalihiwai right across from Kalihiwai Bay that has just had a price reduction. This lovely two bedroom, two bath beach home is now priced at $1,450,000. This home has ocean views and is tucked back into a little piece of paradise that needs to be seen to be truly appreciated. If you are interested in this home, or any of my other spectacular listings, please give me a call.
Here are a few of my favorite things to do on Kauai July 31, 2009
Posted by Sarah in : Updates , add a commentI enjoy stand up paddling up the Hanalei River or hiking the Hihimanu Trail while taking in all of the beauty this island has to offer. I love eating a delicious Plate Lunch from the Pono Market or enjoying the wonderful tradition of Hamura’s Saimin. I love watching the sunset on the crystal clear waters of Hanalei Bay, sipping on a glass of wine at any of the wonderful Hanalei restaurants, or taking in the live music and the Tahiti Nui.
There are plenty of fun things to do on the island of Kauai. Come for vacation; stay for a lifetime.

This economy affects us all one way or another June 30, 2009
Posted by Sarah in : Updates , add a commentDue to the mandate by Governor Lingle to initiate mandatory State Furloughs by State Employees to cover her budget deficit, the Bureau of Conveyances has issued the following:
The law requires the Bureau of Conveyances to be open to the public Monday through Friday, except on State Holidays. Effective July 1, 2009, all Bureau employees will be scheduled one furlough day per week for each of the weeks with a scheduled furlough day.
How this affects YOUR escrow:
- No Special Recordings: The Bureau of Conveyances will no longer allow specials regardless of the liability (dollar) amount.
- No Pulls: The Bureau of Conveyances will no longer allow documents to be pulled once they have been submitted for recording.
- Projects or Bulk Recordings: No Project/Bulk Recordings will be allowed during the last five business days of each month.
- Recording Fee: The Regular System Recording fee will increase $5.00 per document. The Land Court document recording fees will not be affected.
- Good Funds: Documents will not be submitted unless escrow has good funds in hand two business days prior to recordation.
To view the full memo from the Bureau of Conveyances and Good Funds Law, visit www.oldrephawaii.com. All information deemed reliable, but not guaranteed.
I am happy to announce The Moore Estate (which sold for $10M) is no longer available. There is one other beachfront estate available “Hanalei Kahakai Hale”. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Hanalei Bay’s premier spots. Contact me for more information.

Everyone had a great time at this worth while event and my heartfelt congratulation goes out to all the participants.
