Kauai’s August numbers show a market finding its footing: single family homes eased slightly to a $1,088,000 median while condos climbed 18.3% year over year to just under $1M. Vacant land stayed active with $2.65M in closings, and Koloa’s South Shore single family median held strong at $2.5M even with fewer transactions. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just watching the market, I’m always happy to break down what these numbers mean for you.

Open house traffic goes cold fast without structure. Jot down what each visitor tells you (price range, must-haves, timeline), then ask AI to draft a 3-touch follow-up sequence: same-day thank-you, 3-day nudge, 10-day check-in. AI keeps the cadence consistent, but personalize every email with what the visitor actually said or it reads like a form letter.

Aloha from Kauai 🌺. Wealth creation doesn’t stand still. As new fortunes are made, where that wealth resides also changes. Two recent reports offer a snapshot of the globe’s most affluent locations today—and where they could be in the future.

Aloha. Kauai’s July market stayed steady, with single family homes and condos easing slightly while vacant land and closed sales told a different story. The real headline: Koloa’s single family median nearly doubled year over year to $3.1M, a clear signal of continued strength on the South Shore. Curious what this means for your property or your next move on Kauai? Let’s talk.

Looking forward to the 2026 Sotheby’s International Realty Global Networking Event!

Honored to join the roundtable Innovate & Elevate: AI, Wednesday, October 7, 1:30-2:30 PM PT, where I’ll share what’s actually working in my business (and a few lessons learned the hard way) when it comes to putting AI to work in real estate. From market analysis to client communication, the tools are changing fast, and I’m excited to dig into that with fellow advisors from across the network.

On one side of the room, we’ll explore how early adopters are leveraging AI to create efficiencies, build repeatable systems, and gain a competitive advantage. Across the room, we’ll dig into how luxury practitioners are delivering hospitality-inspired experiences that build meaningful client relationships before, during, and long after the transaction.

If you’re attending, let’s connect, I’d love to swap notes on how you’re using AI in your own business.
