Dear Readers:
Aloha and Welcome to September 2008 on Maui!
Another summer has passed, marked by the ringing of school bells
throughout Maui County. It is hard to believe that we are at the end of
the third quarter of 2008!! If you are planning on being on island this
month it is a great time to relax and enjoy the transition into
fall-winter Maui – Style.
The following
information shows the slowdown in visitor arrivals has continued through
June 2008. As this trend plays out this will provide a great
opportunity to find hotel & car deals - sprinkled with hopefully some
great airfares!!

As always…Thank
you for taking time out of your busy schedules to read our magazine and
or stopping by our web site (www.realestatemauistyle.net
or www.livingmaui.com).
For over 24 years we have distinguished our magazine from other “catalog
publications” by providing you articles on our culture, history and all
aspects of what makes Maui a magical and special place...in essence to
be “LivingMaui.” This coupled with current statistical data, a pretty
neat website, great cover photos and the BEST advertisers around I think
accomplishes this. We constantly strive to make your participation a
memorable experience. If you have specific real estate questions on any
of the properties or services mentioned throughout our magazine please
call our advertisers direct. If you contact any of our great
advertisers let them know you saw their ad in “Real Estate Maui
Style”, the only Unique Maui real estate magazine.
See you in October!
Sincerely,
Leil Koch
President
Real Estate Maui Style
