Aloha e ‘Apelila (April)!

Hawaiian Value of the Month

Pilina

Aloha!

In Hawaiian, “pilina” means association, relationship, union, connection, meeting, joining adhering or fitting. “He pilina wehena ‘ole ke aloha’aina” can be translated as “One’s love for his homeland is an un-servarable relationship”.

I feel this every time I walk the beaches or sit quietly in my own yard.

How to Maximize Your Real Estate Portfolio

Home Sellers: Here’s What the NAR Settlement Means for You

You can still choose to offer compensation to buyer brokers, but these offers can no longer be listed on the MLS—only disclosed through other platforms like social media or flyers. Any such offers must be clearly explained to you in writing and approved beforehand. Importantly, your agent, if a REALTOR®, remains committed to your best interests and is required to uphold ethical standards, ensuring compensation remains negotiable and clearly discussed.

Whether you opt for a deep jewel tone or a soft neutral, color drenching adds cohesion and personality, turning any room into a striking statement.
