Thanksgiving in Hawaii…

At the very beginning of this year, we held an all day meeting of our Brokers and Agents where we named everything that we’re grateful for about living in Hawaii. That list is still very present for us today, it’s what we’re all about. It keeps us ‘real’, and it helps us to be liaisons to the Hawaii Life.

As the holiday season is upon us, I think of that list again (the full list is at the bottom). We’re grateful for you, our blog readers, customers, and clients. Be safe, cherish your ohana, the ohana, and the ocean, and…

Here’s (some of) the full list from our January meeting:
