This week on the Team Lally Real Estate Radio Show, we interview Michael Wong of the Laulima Giving Program. Michael discusses how his organization provides vital assistance to those in need and who don't qualify for government help. He shares how they adopt families, highlights a recent success story, and provides details on their upcoming events. We also learn how we can support their efforts and make a real difference in the lives of struggling families.

We also have our Experts We Trust with their Tip of the Week. Duke Kimhan of Hawaii Pacific Property Management, explains why hiring a property manager is essential for investment property owners. He covers the importance of having an on-island representative and how a skilled property manager can make your life easier, protect your investment, and maximize its value. Dan Polimino from the Big Island shares a personal reflection on his recent trip with his son. He talks about the importance of being present and living in the moment, especially in our fast-paced lives. As a realtor, he also touches on managing the stress of helping clients with their real estate needs and why now is still a great time to buy a home.
