mililani real estate agent: THE TESTIMONIAL for their MILILANI PATIO HOME SOLD! - 07/13/14 05:26 AM
This Mililani Patio Home (one story attached townhouse) took a little while to sell but gosh darn did it sell to a worthy VA Loan Buyer. You see, my sellers were VA Loan Buyers as well 6 years ago. They were just happy that they could move on.
They were the most kind and loving family that would I would rarely see but wanted to share just how kind they are. No matter what transpired, they kept a very positive attitude!  They appreciated me and I worked hard to get that home sold and in the end...I received the best testimonial from … (3 comments)

mililani real estate agent: Barriers ...to Selling Your Hawaii Home - 04/26/14 04:52 AM
No matter where you are in the Hawaiian Islands.... it IS a SELLER'S but a NEGOTIABLE market. That means sellers can negotiate on a price...but maybe there’s multiple offers. My TOP point is that this IS a different market and a negotiable one. So clearly, accept the highest and best offer but also...keep an open mind.
It IS a NEGOTIABLE Market.
The following points listed should give my seller’s some clues to heed the advice of their agent.
You are getting fewer showings after that first Open House.  In fact, if the first showing at first Open House does not produce multiple offers in … (9 comments)

mililani real estate agent: MY VERY FIRST REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION - 04/13/14 05:44 AM
MY VERY FIRST REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION
Was I nervous of my very first Real Estate transaction?  To say the least!  Real Estate verbiage is a whole different language let alone trying to put that verbiage into use. A spiel doesn’t just come naturally and for a new agent it is hard to say that they should put their trust into me to sell or purchase a home.  I was brand spanking new!
Lucky for me, my first client was a friend’s brother!  He was retired military and he was relocating with his family to Hawaii from Georgia. He was going to … (28 comments)

mililani real estate agent: MULTIPLE OFFERS-- Honolulu County Trend - 08/23/13 05:07 AM
It IS a fact that in the city of Mililani in Honolulu County, Hawaii we are seeing the same thing over and over. LOW INVENTORY = MULTIPLE OFFERS on just about anything! 
This beautiful townhouse in Mililani Garden Homes II received MULTIPLE OFFERS and my sellers settled on one that they believed would be a solid transaction. The fact of the matter is that they also have a solid back up offer too! 
Two years ago we had it on the market and the sellers couldn't afford to leave it vacant for more than two months. We ended up … (3 comments)

mililani real estate agent: Telemarketers Who Do NOT Understand the Word NO - 12/21/12 03:07 AM
 Hello????  (I’m reluctant because a long distance number can mean a new client…OR…the dreaded telemarketer trying to sell me a ‘spot’ as the only MILILANI REAL ESTATE AGENT).
 
Telemarketer:  Hi, my name is XXX and I would like to speak to the person in charge of your website.
Me:   Which website is that? 
 
Telemarketer:  www.cheesemanhomes.com
Me:  I’m in charge of my own blog and write my own content.
Telemarketer:  Oh, does that mean you are the one who is in charge of your website?
Me:  It’s a blog (yes, technically a website) and actually it’s the ‘public’ … (18 comments)

mililani real estate agent: Celeste "Sally"Cheeseman,RA,CRS -2012 Aloha Aina Realtor Award Winner! - 12/16/12 12:00 AM

Each year I felt … (23 comments)

mililani real estate agent: The Housing Market IS Determined By AREA! - 09/03/12 04:40 AM
So, your home is in a neighborhood that hasn’t sold much of anything (in fact, NONE) in the past couple of years. You, as a Home Seller may believe that your home is the exception. Of course the home is beautiful with some upgrades but it DOES NOT discount the main point that the market has gone down NATIONWIDE in the past few years---especially in your neighborhood!
There are many areas of the country, state, county, city, neighborhood where the market is starting to turn around. Many neighborhoods in Oahu (Honolulu County) Hawaii are going up in value just because our … (25 comments)

mililani real estate agent: Woodcreek at Launani Valley Area of Interest |Mililani Woodcreek Homes - 05/12/12 04:45 AM
Considered to be the “third region of Mililani”, Launani Valley is a secluded master planned development in the valley below Mililani Tech Park. About 5 minutes away is Wheeler AAF and Schofield Barracks and definitely convenient for the military and government workers at these Army Bases on Oahu.  A hop, skip and jump and you’re on the freeway and about 20-25 miutes to Hickam AFB and Pearl Harbor Navy Base and 35-40 minutes down the H-2 Freeway to the H-1 Freeway to downtown Honolulu.
What’s even better is the North Shore of Oahu (beaches, surfing, scuba diving and more!) is just … (5 comments)

Over a year ago this Mililani Real Estate Agent received a phone call from a potential Mililani Home Seller who wanted to meet with me and discuss a possible listing of their Mililani Home.   We talked about my marketing plan, comparable properties in the Mililani Housing Market area for ‘attached’ homes and what I will do for them.
We made an appointment to meet face to face as the Mililani Home Seller ‘found me on the internet’ while looking for a Mililani Real Estate Agent.  We talked about the circumstances for their thinking about selling the Mililani Hawaii Home as well as … (52 comments)

mililani real estate agent: Are You Closing Doors for Future Opportunities? - 01/02/12 09:30 AM
As independent contractors, we each have our own business models; and clearly my first priority is to think in the best interests of my clients.  There are no cutting corners while representing a buyer/seller in residential sales and it does not rely solely on….money.
Clearly we all have our own opinions; we are only human and do not think the same. Therefore, our business models will not be the same. The following points were made from a series of blogs I’ve read during my time here on ActiveRain and are clearly NOT what I agree with and are NOT part of … (65 comments)

mililani real estate agent: Myths and Facts About Real Estate Agents - 07/04/11 03:10 PM
Just to get the story straight, the majority of Realtors® are not rich: 
Yes, we can make a good living although we have to pay taxes just like any other independent contractor or owner of a business. In Hawaii, we not only have to pay state and federal taxes but GET (general excise tax as well) We pay for all our expenses up front.

mililani real estate agent: Past Lives Before Real Estate - 05/21/11 12:22 PM
Growing up as a family member of a U.S. Navy father and a U.S. Air Force ex-husband was educational to say the least. Traveling to far away countries like Turkey, Germany, Japan and the Philippines allowed me to expand my mind and take in the different ethnicities and learn about all the different cultures. 
Fond memories prevail through all my travels and allowed me to have an open mind.
My mother was born and raised on Kauai, the Garden Island, and one of the Hawaiian Islands that make up the State of Hawaii. It was her wish for my dad to … (21 comments)

mililani real estate agent: Mililani Town | Mililani Fairway Village on the Golf Course - 04/28/11 07:25 AM
Memories of my younger years as a resident of Mililani started during the summer between 8th and 9th grade. We just moved into our newly constructed home built by Castle & Cooke in 1971 and were one of the lucky ones who were fortunate to get a rim lot at the end of a cul-de-sac with only valley below. 
I remember smelling the burning of the pineapple fields at harvest time and I would watch them harvest and replant from my bedroom windows.   The rich red soil that seemed to cover everything including our feet and it would stain anything white … (3 comments)
