Loving Life on Maui

Aloha Everyone......

Do you ever just wake up and realize how very fortunate you are for all of your blessings?

Sometimes...the way the world has been going...it gets tough at times to see the good things...but I try sooo hard to always look for the positive in everything. There is something to be learned in every situation as life is so full of lessons and learning. If you don't learn....then the lesson keeps replaying itself until you do learn.

I know it gets difficult...I'm super sensitive and have my heart wide open to others so I'm what you'd call an easy target to an angry person. However, instead of anger towards them...I wonder what awful things must have happened to them to make them so angry and bitter...especially towards loving and happy people. I always pray for them to find divine guidance and peace so they too can feel the joy of love, peace and serenity.

We all have a duty to helping others in showing them love and kindness....true caring and compassion. We don't know what made that person so angry or mean....maybe they were never shown love...or maybe someone dear to them was taken away unexpectedly. Whatever the reason....we are all born with love in our hearts and it is up to us to continue this cycle of reaching out to those less fortunate and letting them know that you care...and they matter!

I saw this picture of an incredibly gorgeous Maui sunset today and felt the need to share it. This beautiful masterpiece made me smile....I hope it has the same affect on you. :) Please...pass it on and share the love.

Have an incredible weekend filled to the brim with unending love and laughter.....know inside...You are loved!

With Warmest Aloha.......

Donna :)

Life on the Pukalani Golf Course .

It has been about 6 years since I moved to my new home bordering the Pukalani Golf Course. The openness and beauty of the golf course manicured lawn was one of the deciding factors for me in the purchase of my current home. Since I moved on the golf course, my golf game as greatly improved, now I am able to participate in the yearly golf tournament sponsored by the Maui Board of Realtors without loosing all my balls by the end of the game . The owners of the golf course are kind enough and welcoming to people walking their dogs on a leash after Tee time hours as long as you have a trash bag to pick-up after your furry friends gifts.

Today You can also enjoy the convenience , proximity and the beauty of the Pukalani golf course, a new home has just been added for Sale to the Maui MLS , 2967 Aina Lani Drive, an Elegant Executive home on the Pukalani Golf Course in the prestigious neighborhood of Kulamalu.
Your New home has 2,511 square feet of pure beauty and attention to details. This place you could soon call home will welcome you with a perfectly manicured landscaping and stamped concrete floor in the front entrance and a 3 car garage that is perfect to accommodate a large family . The best part of the day for you will be when you step outside on your 700 square feet covered Lanai and into your six person Hot tub privately tucked with views that seems to overflow to at least 2 acres of lush inviting golf course lawn .
I chose Pukalani because of the convenience and closeness to town, and a few great amenities like the Olympic sized swimming pool just 5 minutes away .I recently joined the Pukalani Masters Swim team and we meet from 5:45 AM to 7:45 AM , Monday ,Wednesday , Fridays and Saturdays. To add to the convenience of living in Pukalani , you are only 5 minutes away from Foodland , Starbuck , Restaurants, Banks, Tennis courts and Hardware Stores.
Please consider calling us when looking to purchase or to know more about Pukalani Maui .

Short Sales vs Foreclosure.
Sellers are Choosing Short Sales over Foreclosures for a Number of obvious reasons.
Credit score, credit history,security clearances,current employment,deficiency judgements are affected more by a Foreclosure than a Short Sale.

There are a few questions to ask yourself when buying a foreclosed condominium Property.

Is it a good Value in relationship to the C.M.A (Comparative Market Analysis) of the property.

Is the condominium Association in good financial standing ?

What are the maintenance Dues ?

Will they increase this year ?

Are there any assessment projections for the condominium complex?

How many delinquencies of the maintenance dues are there within the complex ?

Foreclosure” is the process by which lender(s)/lien holder(s) take possession of a property as a result of the current owner’s failure to make mortgage payments over a certain period of time. Specific procedures render termination of mortgagor’s equitable right of redemption. This process could take years if contested, and not all states share the same laws and procedures regarding foreclosures.

“Short Sale” is the sale of real estate property for less than the current mortgage owed to the lender/lien holder, hence the term, selling it short. Short sales often occur when a hardship arises and the borrower cannot pay their mortgage loan. This process is NOT for the fainthearted nor lackadaisical, as the road is paved with a myriad of paper work, research, and negotiations. However, this is by far a more humane road for sellers to travel, and usually yields a quicker recovery on their credit report.
To answer these questions and your other concerns...
