This Old House - 06/29/12 06:43 AM
Getting old can be tough. Apparently the idea that 70 is the new 50 doesn’t apply to buildings. Let me explain. A couple of years ago, Act 228, aka The Historic Preservation Act created new requirements for owners seeking to alter or demolish any structure 50 or more years old. Passed in July 08, the law required that owners submit archival quality photos to the State Historic Division of the Dept of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) prior to the issuance of, for example a demolition permit. Without a demolition permit, a new building permit could not be obtained by an owner … (0 comments)

In most real estate sales, there’s a buyer’s agent and a seller’s agent.  While there are circumstances in East Hawaii when a single agent represents both parties, such situations are not the norm.  REALTORS® subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics.  Our REALTOR® Code of Ethics is the value proposition that sets us apart from non-REALTOR® agents.  In fact, the public may not realize that agents who do not subscribe to this strict set of guidelines cannot even be called REALTORs®. One provision of the Code requires us to work under “written agreement” with those we represent.
