Greetings to anyone who sees this.. I just wanted to introduce myself since I was given the opportunity to take over this page from Chris Moody when he moved to the mainland. Chris and I worked together briefly in Hawaii but have similar approaches to business. When he asked me if I would like to take over the page, I said sure although I am not known for being active on social media. However, I do love to help people decide if living in Hawaii is right for them and if it is, helping them identify the lifestyle, the Island, the area and the property type that would best suit them. I have lived in the same home on the Big Island for 20 years and LOVE it here! I won't have all the answers to everyone's questions but I would be more than happy to help where I can. Sometimes I may answer questions publicly and sometimes privately if they seem very person-specific. Either way, please be patient as I get to know FB and if I don't respond promptly, it probably means I haven't see the post and you can forward your question(s) to my email address: [email protected] Looking forward to this adventure.
E Komo Mai ~ Welcome from Erika Stuart
