Happy New Year Friends & Neighbors!
What a crazy year 2020 turned out to be. I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted at the beginning of last year what was to come. From quarantining, social distancing, mask-wearing, homeschooling, and working from home, it’s needless to say that we were all thrown a curveball and have been tested in many ways this year.
Learning to navigate the new ways of doing things was certainly a struggle to adapt to at first, but our team and community are resilient, and we found our way soon enough. Despite the trials of this year, this year has definitely taught us to slow down a bit and enjoy the little things in life again.
As a small business owner, I don’t take it lightly how so many businesses around the area have and continue to struggle. It is a commitment of our team to support local small businesses now and moving forward. We’ve had our fair share of challenges in the real estate industry. The spring slowed a bit as the stock market dropped and fears of Covid took over. However, once the new reality settled in, there was a surge in all things comforting including home. I feel truly blessed that conditions have manifested the way they have, leading to a booming real estate market and as a result, us having our best year yet. Although it may have looked a little different, we are so grateful that we’ve had the opportunity to continue to find families the place they want to call home. The definition of home truly has taken on a special meaning this year as it’s become the place we live, learn, exercise, work, play and more!
Hawaii Realty International wouldn’t be what it is without the support of all of our friends and family, our beloved community, and our loyal clients. We truly appreciate the opportunity to help each of you, in whatever capacity that may be, and look forward to serving you in the year ahead.
Warmly,
Mike & Lisa Styring
