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.

12/19/2007 06:31 PM by Ryan Martin - Bellingham Real Estate Agent (Windermere Real Estate / Whatcom Inc.)


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.  :)

12/19/2007 06:32 PM by Stephanie Edwards-Musa, Realtor ® The Woodlands, TX Real Estate (Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors ®)


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!

12/19/2007 06:33 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Sally,

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

12/19/2007 06:49 PM by Suzanne Sands-Somerset, MA Real Estate (Century 21 Associates Realty)


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!!   

12/19/2007 07:03 PM by Clearwater Real Estate - Tampa Bay FL Homes & Condos for Sale- Cyndee Haydon (Belloise Realty)


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

Cyndee: I thought that was a given!  :)

Steph: So are you!  In my book lol!

12/19/2007 07:40 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


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

12/19/2007 08:18 PM by Linda Scanlan (The Real Estate Referral Company)


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 :) :)

12/19/2007 08:43 PM by Kathy McGraw ~ Calif Broker (CELLing Realty)


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.

12/19/2007 09:30 PM by Gail Tassey (Keller Williams Realty)


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.

12/19/2007 09:32 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


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 :)

12/19/2007 09:36 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


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!

12/19/2007 09:44 PM by Carole Provenzale Owner, Feng Shui Long Island (Feng Shui Long Island)


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 :) 

12/19/2007 09:44 PM by George Souto (McCue Mortgage Co.)


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.

12/19/2007 09:46 PM by Orange Co. Real Estate~Lynda Eisenmann, Broker-Owner, Brea, CA (Preferred Home Brokers)


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!

12/19/2007 10:02 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


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

12/19/2007 10:10 PM by George Souto (McCue Mortgage Co.)


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!

12/19/2007 10:56 PM by Laguna Homes|Laguna Condos| Laguna Real Estate|Marlene Bridges (Sherman Smith & Associates)


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

12/19/2007 11:23 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


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

12/20/2007 01:28 AM by Julie Neerings~Lifting Hearts ♥ Building Dreams~Utah REALTOR® (Keller Williams Salt Lake City)


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.

12/20/2007 06:17 AM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


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!

12/20/2007 06:32 AM by Gary Waters - Real Estate Agent Viera Suntree (Century 21 Baytree Realty www.moving2brevard.com)


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. 

12/20/2007 07:09 AM by Cynthia Tilghman, Realtor® Onslow County NC Home Specialist (Kingsbridge Realty, Inc)


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

12/20/2007 08:49 AM by Tom Plant - Murrieta Real Estate Expert - Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage (Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage)


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 :)

12/20/2007 09:39 AM by Nick M -Realtor®-Appraiser in West Palm- South Florida Real Estate Appraiser (Certified Residential Appraiser- West Palm Beach Real Estate)


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!

12/20/2007 11:32 AM by Teri Eckholm, Realtor® Anoka County MN (Keller Williams Premier Realty)


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! :) 

 

12/20/2007 12:02 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


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

12/20/2007 01:43 PM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Hawaii, is a very nice place to live and I cannot blame anyone for wishing to move there. Sally, you sure give Hawaii the credit it deserves more folks should hear what you have to say here, because you are right. Lance
