hawaii military relocation: A Dialogue For Every Client
- 08/14/13 02:03 AM
The majority of my buyers start with emailing me from either ActiveRain (yes, I still get calls from my blogs from 2007 to present!) or my website (which by the way, is just like my blog here). My writing is what has brought me leads. Who would have known?
If they are relocating to Hawaii and we are ‘working long distance’ via calls and emails I have already a set dialogue that is going on before they even hit Oahu, Hawaii land. We are comparing notes and within a few month’s time, I KNOW what they are looking for. Granted, those … (5 comments)

YOUR PCS TO Schofield Barracks, Wheeler AAF, Pearl Harbor-Navy, Hickam AF, Kaneohe Marine Corps Bases HAWAII
Military personnel who relocate across the Pacific Ocean to Oahu, Hawaii are surprised at the differences in homes compared to the ‘mainland’ (Continental United States) upon arrival. SHOCKED may be a better word. The interior sq/ft as well as land area of properties are the biggest shockers.
Our island in Paradise is UNIQUE.
WEATHER: Tropical paradise to say the least. Our ‘seasons’ are defined by sunny balmy blue sky days with trade winds most of the year round unless it’s during the ‘rainy’ season. … (7 comments)

A Little History

Everything was as if we had known each other and that first meeting was very pleasant. We looked at property according to their criteria and took into consideration … (34 comments)

hawaii military relocation: What's the Scoop on VA Home Loans in Hawaii?
- 03/08/09 07:42 AM
ALOHA!
Back in the day, there were Realtors® and Loan Officers that did not want to deal with VA Loans. Why? Because they're strict with their guidelines and criteria. When overpricing and overbidding were running rampant in all cities, VA remained the ever conservative loan for the Veteran of the Armed Forces.
I say Woohoo! Yeah! Great! It is with this criteria that has kept the VA Guaranteed Loan going and the only 100% financing loan in Hawaii that remains a good loan for the military and vet of the US Armed Forces. Remember, the VA Guaranteed Loan means that VA guarantees … (23 comments)

After such a great response from everyone for the list of tips on what to watch out for in Bank Owned properties I wanted to do a follow up. For one, it definitely is a given to look over those counter offers and addendums! There were so many comments for Acquiring The Golden Egg that said that bank owned properties leave the buyer without any rights. HUH?
That is not all true. For one, why would we show our clients any of these properties if we believed that to be true? I was amazed with the fact that many commented saying that they closed many … (55 comments)
