Behaviors are “Contagious”

We do what the people around us do.  We accept what yhe group finds acceptable.  We notice the difference in behavior when wr move away from our childhood setting to the first adult residence. We are either excited to share new traits with the folks back home…OR…we vow

Check hats for small life forms before wearing in Hawaii

You feel cute in your hat, and protected from the powerful sun.
If you only think something is crawling on your head, it is not.  When there really are tiny feet on your scalp , you know  it. And–off with the hat!
You take a closer look at the hat, which you flung a couple of feet away.
There is something…
With gratitude you see it is only a gecko.  Or perhaps it is more appropriate to call this creature a tiny chameleon.  It is not a hand-sized cane spider, or a centipede.  The feet had not felt that big, so you were only a bit concerned.

The lesson: in this tropical paradise, before putting a hat on your head, or bringing a flower to your nose, check for life forms. We do not have poisonous animals indigenous to Hawaii, but you could be mighty startled if you fail to look first!

Open House 9/7/25, Ewa 3 bed/2.5 bath

99-1159 KAMAKANA #715 Road, Ewa Beach

I hosted an open house in a lovely Ewa Beach development.  Kids at play, mothers calling that it was time you come in for dinner, neighbors gathering in front of one of their homes.  I was reminded of my childhood in a Long Island, New York suburb.  It felt like home.  At the time of this writing ( September 16th 2025) the property is still available let me give you some of the features:

  • 3 bedrooms
  • 2.5 baths
  • 2 floors
  • Outdoor area for a wee garden or barbecue
  • Central air
  • $814,000 Fee Simple
  • VA Assumable–a really big deal for both vets and non vets in terms of accessible financing
  • Pet friendly
  • 2 car garage
  • New flooring
  • New appliances, including washer/dryer, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator w/icemaker
  • Alarm system
  • Pet friendly
  • Central air
  • Built in 2018–just about brand new!

If you want to know more just give me a call or text me at 808-367-4278.  I am knowledgeable about VA assumable loans and I have personal relationships with lenders who are on my speed dial!

If you are still in the thinking stage and seeing this property has stirred something inside of you,  I can help direct you to a lender. I choose lenders who have the patience to explain and make sure that everyone understands what is happening.  The respectful lenders I know can start you off on your journey with a pre-approval .

If you’re farther along on the path to home ownership, that is wonderful! I would be delighted to join you.

You can always come to my site: “Tangee Sells Safe Homes Hawaii,” or :

lazarushawaiirealestate.com

You will find the open house for the upcoming Sunday and a record of all of the open houses I have done since I began my open house project (more on the project later.)  This website open house record of past hostings and future hostings overlaps when I represent a particularly engaging (IMHO) property more than once.

For example, 98-288 Kaonohi Street #3901,  Aiea,  HI, 96701 is a property I represented on two Sundays, 9/14/25 and 9/28/25.

You see the flyer above? That was made for 09/14/25, but the information is the same for 9/28/25.  Let me emphasize:  this is the ONLY available 2-bedroom for sale in the condo. And get this–2, count ’em, 2 parking spaces!
