As a full time real estate professional, my personal philosophy is that my job as an agent is to assist, not sell. As one of the top agents on the East side of the Big Island for many years, I have a depth of knowledge necessary for any buyer who is contemplating a purchase on the Big Island. I understand that making a purchase is not something that can be rushed. I am willing to spend time assisting buyers in all aspects of their purchase; whether it's financing, choosing the correct neighborhood or basic orientation/education about our island home. I work with a hand-picked team with whom I have complete confidence. Their able assistance allows me to focus my attention on the task at hand. It also allows for continuity in my absence. The series of articles I've authored over the past 10 years serve as a handy entertaining guide for buyers an sellers alike.

The Wheel Goes Round and Round

Try as I might to closely edit this information, not a week goes by that I don’t find errors even after publication. I’m the first to admit to taking editorial liberties but even so, my schedule doesn’t always permit me to proof as completely ...

It's All Included

"The property is so cherry. The sellers used it as vacation rental so it’s totally tricked out and ready to go. My wife is ready to move-in. It’s great, the sellers want to leave all the furniture... the 50" flat screen is too good to ...

The Big Picture!

Remember Y2K??? It certainly doesn’t seem long ago that we were facing the notion that a computer programming error would leave us cut off from the rest of the world. In hindsight, it all seems wacky. Strange as it may seem now, I recall a handful of ...

Holiday "Hangover"

Are your credit cards tired, overworked and underpaid? Do you suffer from extreme mailbox avoidance syndrome? Indeed, it sounds like a typical case of holiday hangover! It’s a common malady associated with the reality of “shop ‘til you drop” ...

Surprises Courtesy of "Moving" Taxes!

The Federal government requires a withholding of 10% of the gross proceeds any time a foreign seller conveys a property. Escrow will also withhold an additional 5% because the foreigner is not a Hawaii resident. The 5% withholding applies to all out-of-state ...

Change Will Do You Good???

Can’t blame it on the New Year because changes to established real estate practices have been happening at warp speed for some time now. Rules for just about anyone who touches a real estate transaction have changed or will change. Locally, mortgages ...

Scary Assistance!

Even in today’s buyer’s market, finding a buyer is the easy part. While this is basically true, the steps involved in getting to that point can be critical. Establishing the proper price point, investigating permits, providing disclosure guidance, ...

The Competent Quarterback!

Much like real estate, the spotlight during today’s game will be squarely on the guy smack dab in the thick of the activity. The “quarterback” is by every account, the person who will ultimately be credited with engineering the victory. Certainly, ...

UHH and HawCC; Hilo's Economic Engine

Imagine driving by $165million dollars every day and never noticing! Hard to imagine, right? I have to admit that I’d never thought of UH-Hilo and HawCC in those terms until a recent extended conversation with my friend, Harvey Tajiri. In fact, Harvey ...

Rent-to-Own

This confusing topic generates numerous inquiries, especially now when looking for ways to be creative can make all the difference. The common rent-to-own concept is that a tenant can increase their rental payment and have a portion applied toward the down ...
