About a week and a half ago I was at the office and I get a call on my cellular.Hmm...long distance. Bet it's a telemarketer. Hit ignore. The office phone rings and she asks for ... ME. Wouldn't you know it was her calling on my cellular hahaha! Her husband came back from Iraq and saw my sites all over the internet so they called me. They are Military Relocating to Hawaii in December.
Talk about PRO ACTIVE in their search for a home! We now have an accepted contract (today) and they are flying in from California for their home inspection scheduled for Saturday. (and they get to see Hawaii for the first time in their lives!)
In communities such as the one my clients chose there are maintenance fees.It is a single family home but within a condo ownership association. I spoke with the on-site manager this morning because I wanted to find out what the maintenance fees take care of.
The maintenance fees take care of:
-
Termite treatment - After the current six year contract is up with the liquid treatment they're moving on to the Sentricon System.
-
Community Pool(and the on-site manager says it's the best in the area :)
-
Recreation Center
-
Parks and landscaping around the community
-
Bulk of the homeowners insurance (just like condos ...get insurance for the inside of the home)
-
Roads and street lights within the community
-
Water
-
Sewer
