hawaii: Seller Paying Buyers Closing Costs
- 11/04/06 06:01 PM
This is a great way to sell a property whether you are representing the buyer or the seller. While the market has changed recently, sellers are needing to be more creative in finding ways to sell their properties. Why not give a credit to the buyer to pay for a large portion of their closing costs? The majority of my clients use VA loans because they are all veterans. Its a win-win for everyone involved. Seller sells, buyer buys with no out of pocket expenses. What a great feeling to have a buyer move into a property and have zero out … (2 comments)

hawaii: The Ramblings of a Hawaii Real Estate Agent
- 10/28/06 06:09 PM
By: David Kucic RA, ABR, AHWD, e-PRO, GRIFirst Sergeant, USA (Retired)Tropic Lightning Real Estate, Oahu, Hawaii It is unfortunate that some real estate owners in Hawaii are being working with an agent that is clearly not representing them well. They have no idea that they may have missed a potential buyer because their agent failed to either answer their phone, check their email or return a phone call. This morning I had two showings, both of the homes were occupied by tenants. The sellers agent (same one for both properties) assured us that the tenants would be home and they would gladly let us in to … (4 comments)
