What's In Your Real Estate Agenda?

First of all, let me give you an idea of the number of Realtors® that are licensed in the state of Hawaii, and more specifically on our island of Oahu. Then I'll be able to give you my opinion of what my agenda is like as a Realtor -Associate in Honolulu County that just may be helpful in your Honolulu Hawaii Relocation.

There are approximately 15,400 real estate licensees in Hawaii and the breakdown for just my island (Oahu: Honolulu County) are following the whole State of Hawaii stats:

9,600 active real estate licensees (statewide)
5,800 are inactive
3,150 brokers
9,800 salespersons
1,200 corporations, partnerships, LLC's, and LLP's
1,150 sole proprietors
100 branch offices.

On our island of Oahu in Honolulu County there are about 12,000 licensees and of those licensees about 9,000 are now active and approximately 3 thousand that are not. That's 9,000 Oahu Real Estate Licensees to help you in your search for real property. So, what sets one Realtor® apart from others?

All I can tell you is what is on my agenda:

If you are Relocating to Hawaii you need a local island Realtor ® to represent your best interests in your next purchase of real property.
Licensed in the State of Hawaii and a MEMBER of the National Association of Realtors®, Honolulu Board of Realtors, and the Hawaii Association of Realtors.
Access to the Multiple Listing Service (and a given if a member of the above)
An agent you definitely feel comfortable with! Sometimes personalities don't quite fit and that's understandable.
Someone who will pay great attention to detail and walk you through every step of the transaction and answer all questions.
Won't leave you in the dark and expect you to understand their Real Estate lingo. They'll explain!
Experience in the Real Estate Industry and can either answer your questions or direct you to a professional who can.
Follows all Code of Ethics, Hawaii Real Estate laws and goes above and beyond the call of duty.
Knows the local areas and neighborhoods!

It's not easy moving across the Pacific Ocean let alone to a totally different "world" of people but you can do it with effort, motivation and a great Realtor®!

Sally - I wish that I was relocating to Oahu. If I was, you would be the first real estate agent that I contacted.

Hey Sally, this is a great way to show potential clients how you work. There are a lot of agents out there, but not all agents are created equal. :)

Ryan: Why of course you would contact me :) Thanks sweetie.

Steph: Of course not....I presume we all think we are the exception lol! What am I laughing at...I think I am different ha!

Sally,

You are without a doubt the agent to call in Hawaii! A true professional, I would refer business to you in a heartbeat! :)

Sally - I'd have to add to your agenda that you will treat them like you would your own family - caring more about them than selling any one house! Great article - Merry Christmas early too!!

Sally, LOL. :) You are the exception in my book too. :)

Suzanne: Awww...shucks. I appreciate your vote of confidence!

Cyndee: I thought that was a given! :)

Steph: So are you! In my book lol!

Sally - your professionalism just continues to shine brighter and brighter!

Okie dokie then Linda!

Sally- Yep, there are a lot of REALTORS (R) out there, but as was stated not all are created equal.....I am without a doubt that you put your clients needs first, following the Professionalism that you have developed over time. Yep, I would want you for my Agent any day of the week :) :)

Sally... wow, that is a lot of realtors for a semi small area.... I think. How big is your area? In any case, I agree, letting the consumer know how you work. Nice job.

Sally you put it all into a clear and precise manner, Im sure your clients love that also. :)

Kathy: That's because you met me with my infectious laugh hehe. I know one thing....I have learned....on this social real estate network whom I would refer clients to. Just as in real life ... or as if face to face...I look at attitudes and behaviors...it's the thinking I tell ya!

Jeff: Ah....but we have almost a million people on our island. I don't think that's too small :) Thanks.

Gail: oops...must of missed ya when posting the other responses :) I thank you very much for noticing that. More often than not I am dealing with first time home buyers and they are definitely in need of knowing step by step what is going on so they don't feel left in the dark :)

Sally, Wow, there are many realtors out there. I can't imagine finding one who knows as much as you do or has the level of care, compassion and dedication in helping people!

Sally sounds like there is one Realtor for every house on the Island ......... LOL

But of course non of them as good as my friend Sally who is one of a kind :)

Hi Sally,

Good consumer content on this one.

All too often people do not realized the distinctions between an agent and a REALTOR. And also those who are active and those who are not. Just because someone has a license in their hip pocket, they think they know what they're doing. At times nothing could be further from the truth.

Carole: Hi there friend! And ahhh....they find the good ones :)

George: Oh thanks George...you know you're my buddy....(how much do I owe you for that comment :)

Lynda: Oh, thanks Lynda. I thought someone would come along and notice the distinction....:) and it was YOU Happy Holidays Lynda...see you soon!

Sally shhhhhhhh you were not suppose to mention that :):)

Oh....sorry George :)

Sally - You are so right. It is so important to work with a local REALTOR®. You have such extensive knowledge of your area, you'd be the first person I'd contact!

Marlene: Oh thanks Marlene! You know I am counting the weeks and then days until I get to meet ya!

Sally-This is what sets you apart from the rest. You knowledge, drive, professionalism and caring attitude.

My agenda is to get the client...get them the house and then get the check. Seriously....help them with their needs but listen to what they say. Keep trying until I exhaust all my efforts until I feel it's totally unattainable. On the sellers side my goal is to get through the entire process and after it is successful we stay in touch.

Sally - Geez...sounds like everyone who has a drivers license has a real estate license. But having is a license does not make one a professional Realtor. I can see why your clients choose you!

Sally,
Your professionalism shines through and if I ever need an agent in Hawaii--you're my #1 pick! Beside I think you would be fun to be around and that's important too.

BTW, I hope the job situation for your hubby is working out.

Sally - No doubt in my mind that any client who lands in your hands will be treated like gold.

Hi Sally, I was also be looking to see who is online and blogging to be sure they are in the technology game, to communicate with me effectively and clue me into the sharpest ones.. like you :)

Sally--One of the most important things for the public to understand is that not all agents or Realtors are created equal. It is important to find one that you like and trust to work with. Good post!

Julie: You're a sweetie. I know the info will help you in the long run. :)

Neal: Good Deal Neal! That's exactly how it should be....if we don't listen then how are we to think in their best interests. Regardless whether I am representing a buyer or a seller....it's the same thing. Listen, help, detail and close :)

Gary: Nope...drivers licenses is why our traffic is horrendous! :)

Cynthia: Thanks...I believe many of us on AR have a great attitude and behavior and utilize it in our client's best interests. :)

Tom: And having friends as you sure makes it worth writing about!

Nick: How's the wood shed? :) haha...thanks

Teri: exactly...and it's the individuality and quality of that relationship that makes all the difference in the world.

Sally- Of course! Woohoo would not have it any other way, and it behooves all the buyers to contact Woohoo Sally to find their home in Paradise! Love it! Katerina

Katerina: Thanks for your sunshiney comments :)
