Aloha All new UPdate
members. If you have any
questions about the
UPdate, or any listings thereon, I am in the office
each day to receive your calls and emails. I am here to take care of
your real estate needs, whatever they may be, and will be happy to
show you any properties on the entire Big Island (See Custom List instructions at the end of
this email). My email address is trustharry@aloha.net and my phone number is 808-989-3491. Please include the
MLS#'s of listings you are inquiring about. Those who phone will receive an answer to
their questions immediately.
PLEASE take the time to read all the following information, then save
it to a file; INCLUDING THAT AT THE END OF THIS
EMAIL. You will want to refer back to this information for the
definitions it contains. You may forget some
things as time goes by so having this information handy will be very
helpful to you in the future. You will not receive the
UPdate with all this information again. I do this to keep the file
size down on future UPdates. This information can also be viewed at my
website www.konarealestateagent.com by clicking the "Sample UPdate" button. Mahalo,
Harry

JOKE OF THE
DAY:

safety recall today on 800,000 Bowflex exercisemachines. The good news: No one was hurt, because no one ever actually
used a Bowflex." --Jay Leno
CUSTOM LIST OF PROPERTIES WHICH MEET YOUR OWN
PERSONAL CRITERIA, please send me your property
parameters. I can send you a
Custom List of all similar properties currently on the market. The
UPdate just covers one days activity (all the transactions that occurred that
day in every property category). A Custom List will have ALL active
listings, with only YOUR personal parameters and category choices, regardless of
the date the properties were listed. The most common parameters
are:
1. property category (home, condo, raw
land) 2.geographical location (area of the island, town or vicinity, mountain
or ocean, etc.) 3. land area 4. living area 5. view preferred (ocean,
mountain, both, doesn't matter) 6. bedrooms 7. baths, and most importantly 8. PRICE RANGE!!
(it's a required parameter I have to plug into my search program)
IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY READ THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION PLEASE READ IT NOW:COPY THIS INFORMATION AND SAVE IT TO A FILE SOMEWHERE FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE. IT WILL NOT APPEAR ON FUTURE UPDATES.
If you don't receive the UPdate for three or four days your server
may be down. Please try emailing me, and if that doesn't work, phone me at
808-989-3491 (no 808 needed within the State of Hawaii). Make sure I have your phone number, so if I get "User Unknown"
responses to all the emails I send you, I can call you.
PLEASE
READ:Since you are new to the UPdate
I need to request your assistance and cooperation to help me serve you better. I
will always answer your questions when a message appears from you in my inbox,
but most likely you will not hear from me again unless you write me again. I get
30 to 50 emails a day. Because there are over 2000 people on the list, space constraints
dictate that I must delete every message I receive when I answer it AND my
response. With all your original letters and my responses deleted, I cannot
possibly remember everyone who might need a follow-up or a reminder. When
I go through my inbox, if there is no new message from you, there will be no way
for me to know that you need to hear from me. Consequently, if you have any
questions, WRITE ME. If you are wondering what's going on with your inquiry,
WRITE ME. If I don't adequately answer each question you sent, WRITE ME
AGAIN. OR, to save you all this trouble, please feel free to call me at
808-989-3491 (no 808 needed within the State of Hawaii).
There have been many new additions to the
UPdate recently and an unusual number of requests for Custom Lists and
information on individual listings. Consequently I may not be able to respond to
a request the same day. If it's urgent, please phone me at 808-989-3491,
especially if you are planning a trip to Kona soon!! Those who phone will
receive an answer to their questions immediately.
When you are
planning a trip to Kona, an email to me is not always enough; especially if it's
on short notice. If you don't receive a
response to your email by the next day, I may not have
received it, SO PLEASE PHONE!! If I don't know what you
want to see, it takes a couple of days to work up the list, print out the
listings (copy for you copy for me), find and copy the maps and plan the
itinerary. Once I get the itinerary, I need 48 hours notice to make appointments
to look at homes or condos (land is no problem as you don't need appointments).
So PLEASE, if you haven't heard from me a week before you plan to leave, CALL
ME!! 808-989-3491 (no 808 necessary from the neighbor islands) AND, BRING THIS
PHONE NUMBER WITH YOU. Sometimes the voice mail at the office doesn't work
properly. I carry this cell phone with me everywhere and rarely miss a call. But
if I do, the voice mail works and I check it regularly. Mahalo for your
understanding.
If you find you are no longer receiving the
UPdate and you want to, or you are
receiving the UPdate after you asked to be deleted, or you are receiving
the same UPdate twice, please write me a Heads Up message.
