hawaii va home loans: The Magic Formula for a Smooth Transaction - 04/02/09 03:07 PM
The Real Estate Industry is a complex industry indeed and there are so many different factors to make a transaction work.

The Realtor® representing the Buyer, Realtor® representing the Seller, Loan Officer. The Lender, Home Inspector, Escrow Officer, Termite Inspector, Appraiser should all be working together as a team to make the transaction run smoothly. When one party slacks … (23 comments)
hawaii va home loans: Time in a Bottle...Short Sales R US???? - 03/21/09 01:18 AM
With all the past 'flakey' transactions going on in the past, ACT 137, (Mortgage Rescue Fraud Prevention Act) was passed by the Hawaii Legislature and signed into law by the Governor on June 3, 2008. This act protects Hawaii consumers from those that prey on homeowners who face property foreclosures, liens or encumbrances. I have not listed any short sales nor have I sold any due to my clientele being mostly military relocation clients who are not willing to wait out the time period just to find out if their contract may/may not be accepted. It's not to say I … (29 comments)

hawaii va home loans: What's the Scoop on VA Home Loans in Hawaii? - 03/08/09 02:42 PM
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)
