Aloha all…E Komo Mai…Welcome to my blog about Living (and Buying) in Paradise! “Paradise” is the Big Island of Hawaii and by “Buying” I mean purchasing your dream home or land, My name is Trevella Williams and I am a REALTOR® Salesperson with Local Hawaii Real Estate 808-756-1749. This blog is primarily devoted to Real Estate on the Big Island of Hawaii, of course we are going to sneak in plenty of talk story about ono grinds, aloha spirit, gorgeous gardens and great beaches as well!

Hilo is experiencing some wonderful weather right now! We are well into our summer weather pattern (clear sunny days with rain coming in the evening to cool everything off, and leaving again in the early morning hours), everything is growing/blooming/fruiting like mad. The Lychee's are just about ripe and the limes & avocados are promising a immense harvest.

Having recently purchased a home with acreage I thought my first quandary would be what to plant and how to afford all of the great plants I want...boy was I mistaken! The only quandary I face now is how to organize all of the plant gifts I receive and conscript help for the planting!

The property came with some landscaping in place and I would estimate that I still don't know what 20-30% of it is...just the other day I was in the front speaking with Pat (a young man who works for my husband and myself) and I mentioned that I had no idea what this specific tree was but I liked its dark green leaves, "oh that's a Loquat tree" Pat informs me... What the heck is a Loquat and what do you do with it!? I guess I had better find out cause it is going to fruit soon and I can't bear for things to go to waste...

Please feel free to ask me questions...If you would enjoy more photos of the Hilo area, please visit www.hilodailyphoto.blogspot.com and no trip to Hilo would be complete without a visit to the Two Ladies Kitchen in downtown for a Omiyage box of their delectable Mochi treats, click here for a wonderful article run many years ago in the Honolulu Star Bulletin (nothing has changed except to get even better!), the Strawberry Mochi is a beautiful experience!

Well, we are almost into our new office! Hopefully we will be moving in this coming week. I can't wait! It is going to be beautiful...Travertine tile, new paint, new windows, custom work stations with solid wood end caps and of course the gorgeous custom table made from Cypress wood. It truly is a work of art.

And the technology equipment, whoo boy! Digital senders, 20" flat screen monitors, big screen monitor for the conference room, on line transaction management, network sharing, sound reduction headsets...its going to be a sweet place. As you can tell I am really looking forward to it!

Please feel free to ask me questions...and the next time you are in Hilo town enjoy lunch at Ocean Sushi Deli, fantastic sushi at a reasonable price with fair portions (could be bigger but I'm just greedy!). The Volcano roll is great and the spicy tuna is to die for! Aloha Oi!
