About Me
Aloha,

I have bought or sold over $15 million in real estate for my clients and specialize in condominiums and single family homes. I can locate specific properties and information on any island, including taxmaps, liens, lot sizes, loan information, zoning, etc.. Some of these areas include Honolulu, Hawaii Kai, Kahala, Portlock, Kaneohe, Kailua, Pearl City, Mililani, Waipahu, Ewa Beach, Kapolei, Makakilo, Aiea and Salt Lake.

I use the latest technology (databases, internet searches/listings, virtual tours, e-mail newsletters) to find or market your home. I use search engine marketing to reach specific buyers nationally and internationally. As your agent, I will:

Complete a comparative market analysis that will compare your home's value to that of your neighbors.
Compile a comprehensive plan detailing all the efforts I will employ to sell your home, including Internet and local media. Sites will include:
Craigslist Oahu, Google Base, AOL Real Estate, Cyberhomes, Trulia, Homescape, MyREALTY, Zillow, Oodle.

Present your home to as many qualified buyers as possible getting your home maximum exposure.
Help you stage your home and generate curb appeal to ensure you get the highest price.
Assist with obtaining offers and help you in negotiating the best deal as smoothly as possible.
Help you find your next home and answer all of your questions about the local Hawaii real estate market, including schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.

Send me an email and I will send you the names/numbers for three lenders.
They're the experts, so go directly to them. Car payments hurt a lot, so try to cut those down as much as possible - Sat Nov 15 2008, 17:03

What options do I have?

Frank Diaz, MBA, RA answered:
Hi Christina,

Send me an email frank @ hawaiihome.biz

I'll send you a list of rentals from the MLS. I don't get a commission, so you can just call the agents directly.

Call me at 723 0900 and I can give you some pointers on getting into a good rental. I do not recommend rent to own.

Aloha,
Frank - Thu Nov 6 2008, 16:48

How does an agent factor in a house's newness in the listing price?

Frank Diaz, MBA, RA answered:
I personally ask buyers to avoid new homes if possible. Too many "ifs."
Builders are less reliable these days. If they have a solid track record and few BBB complaints, then maybe.
You're on the right track though. The 5-year-old home will often have $5000+ in landscaping, A/C, garage finishing, etc., so be sure to consider those.
I don't you can use a set figure for price/SF/year. Some homes are built to last and are worth the same as the day they were built. I have seen 30-40 year old townhomes and condos that put the neighbors to shame in terms of construction quality.
When in doubt, talk to your local appraiser. - Wed Oct 29 2008, 01:46
