Puako Home Sales / Kohala Coast Properties

Here on the islands we have a saying “Out of site out of mind”

Regarding homes:

Secure windows and doors, leavea light , TV or music on, keep garage door closed, lower hedges for easier visibility, install motion sensor lights, install alarm or similar devices, get to know your neighbors, let neighbors know when you travel.

Regarding cars:

Lock doors, roll up windows, do not leave keys in vehicle, keep valuables out of view, park vehicle near a light, park in garage if possible, install anti theft device, install alarm system.

Note:

These tips will help deter the amateur or common criminal , but will not stop determined criminal, professional or someone under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

If you come across a crime in progress or discover you have had a break in, leave the area immediately. The criminal might still be around. When you are clear from the area call 911 on your cell phone, pay phone or neighbors home.

If you awaken to a criminal in your home, or if they enter while you are awake and you are unable to leave, find a secure location, lock yourself from the intruder and call 911. If there is no phone in the room you have locked yourself into, open a window and yell from your neighbor’s help. But if possilbe, leave the home and call 911.

If you have others in your home (family, roommates, etc.) yell “there is a burglar in the house” so they can also secure themselves in  a safe area or leave the home. Making a plan ahead of time for an incident like this will help you and them be more prepared.

Note: Criminals will usually break into your home or car to steal items. Do not confront them. Your property is replaceable, you are not. Luckily the Big Island is still a safe and great community. We just have to be aware of possible situations that very rarely would arise.

People often ask what do people do when they live in this area. This area is loaded with activities like dance classes, painting, nature tours and culinary spectaculars.

One well known local artisan ,Angel Prince, of Prince Dance helps organize and teach classes and events along the Kohala and Hamakua Coast lines. One class she is currently promoting is the Argentine Tango every third Friday of the month.

Friday March 20th

6:30-7:30 class
7:30-10:30 Milonga

At the Blue Barn in Puuanahulu
Upper road to Kona/waimea across
from the Big Island Country Club

“PrinceDance was formed to create new works of dance designed to enlighten, challenge and inspire its audiences. Using a multitude of mediums, the company explores new realms of expression and perspectives on personal, social and universal issues. PrinceDance strives to push boundaries and ignite new thoughts through its performances, classes, and collaborative projects.”

 From Rehearsal page of www.PrinceDance.com

I am fascinated as I watch: Angel Prince creates as she moves. She talks her dancers through the fluid motion of her mind as it is translated through her body. What I see happening is the best likened to the work of a sculptor.How the truly gifted sculptor allows the form to emerge from the stone, simple does the work of peeling off the layers, helping it to find and reveal its shape. For Angel, the dance emerges, quite naturally. Her task, and clearly her gift, is to intuit it. Feel it in the air around her body, how it moves in the music around her ears.

When I first met her, it was easy to understand her as a performer, a dancer and lover of life, but when I saw her work, as an instructor and as choreographer, I was able to understand more fully what makes her tick. It is not just dancing or just teaching, or even just coming up with movements that fit music. It is art. The dynamic business of intuiting form from nebulous matter and bringing to life in physical movement what we might only have been able to sense viscerally. Perhaps the greatest gift she gives to those she teaches is a way to communicate with the body ideas that are truly profound and which might simply be obscured by language. There is no argument in what simply rises in our hearts as we watch the body move and express. It just is. Thus is born the gift to the audience.

The NARPM Rocky Maxwell Memorial Achievement Award is given to the one person, nationwide, who has shown “outstanding leadership, interest, and participation in the first year of NARPM membership.

Alan Lundberg was a awarded the nomination for putting together and starting the Maui Chapter of NARPM during this year. As with any endeavor such as this, there is a list of people who worked together to make the Maui Chapter a reality, I merely did some of the “legwork”, Lundberg said.

” The real pride I get in receiving this award is not in the award itself, but in the fact that an organization such as NARPM, a group of the most professional Property Managers in the nation; people who hold their Property Owners and their properties in such high esteem and who exercise a moral and ethical committment to their tenants and the public as well would consider me worthy to receive such a prestigious award.”

Rocky Maxwell was a “giant of a man”, both physically and spiritually, who saw the vision of Property Managers coming together to share knowledge and become educated in the Property Management field and was one of the Founding Fathers of the NARPM Organization, dedicated to the betterment of the industry and it’s participants.

” I am extremely proud to be a member of the National Association of Residential Property Managers at the national level and a member of the Big Island/West Hawaii Chapter at the local level, and will continue to work toward the values and goals of NARPM and encourage others to do the same.”

Alan Lundberg specializes in Estate Management services, Real Estate Sales and the meetings here and abroad relating to the Real Estate industry.

Great job Alan, from all the staff , we are very proud of you and appreciate all of your efforts!

Many of our guests and owners often times need to get to Hawaii on a moments notice to close a deal. With the multi million dollar homes lining the shores of the west side of Hawaii, private jets have become the new choice for vacation rental and real estate travelers. With exclusive resorts and neighborhoods like Hualali, Mauna Lani, Waikoloa, and the Northern Kohala coast, we are seeing more an more people fly outside the normal commercial carriers.

There are many different carriers to get you there, here is what one carrier sent to us to update their offerings for guests and owners looking for different way to travel for business or pleasure.

NEW YORK, NY -January 2007-According to the 2007 survey from the independent New
York-based Luxury Institute, Blue Star Jets has been recognized as the most prestigious
brand in the Private Jets Services category.
“Blue Star Jets is privileged to receive this award,” said Ricky Sitomer, CEO of Blue Star
Jets. “We are the only company that works for the customer, and this award signifies that
our commitment to customer service and attention to detail bears a real difference in the
experience of flying with us.”
Blue Star Jets bested Bombardier Flexjet, Citation Shares, Marquis, and Net Jets, among
others en route to being honored as the top brand in private aviation-a post it has held
since 2005.
“[Survey results] indicate that since our last survey smaller boutique brands continue to
overtake the larger players in brand status and that the larger brands need to redesign and
deliver a far better customer experience to earn a better brand reputation score,” said
Milton Pedraza, CEO of the Luxury Institute.
Through Blue Star Jets’ Sky Card program, customers are granted access to 4,000
executive aircraft, ranging from helicopters and turboprops to jumbo jets. With freedom to
choose the perfect aircraft for every trip, Blue Star Jets clients can maximize productivity
while minimizing investment. And with in-flight services such as Jivamukti Yoga, massage
from Exhale spa, and catering from Nobu, it is clear that the Blue Star Jets standard has no
equal.
To continue its quest for improved customer satisfaction, Blue Star Jets has launched the
first rewards program in private aviation. Beginning in January, Blue Star Jets clients are
awarded points for every dollar they spend. Points can then be redeemed for high-end
luxury lifestyles products, such as Bang & Olufsen plasma televisions.
The Luxury Institute asked ultra-wealthy consumers to rate each brand on delivering
superior quality, uniqueness and exclusivity; on whether the brand is used by people who
are admired and respected; on the ability of the brand to make clients feel special
throughout the entire customer experience; and whether the customer would refer friends
and business associates to the service. The survey also asked responders to rate each brand
on price worthiness and on change in status over the previous 12 months.

Thank you for the update on their achievement in providing a great service to our islands. Hawaii Vacation Rentals can help you coordinate your traveling needs relating to vacation rentals and real estate deals. There are many different ways to get to the islands with multiple private jet companies, so do your research.

I was speaking with Marla Hanson with the company Big Island Nannies, LLC. She had pointed out that the Nannie company we had on our site was not a local nannie company, and probably wouldn’t know as much about the area as local nannies would. I had to agree with her.

She wrote up this brief description of her services.
