“Looking at the real estate listings here is like stepping back in time to that unreal, giddy world of three years ago—before Lehman, before subprime, before AIG. Back to a period when everyone was either rich or on their way, either from flipping condos or running hedge funds, and the only direction was up.” CLICK HERE TO READ THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ARTICLE

What does this have to do with the Honolulu real estate market? London may suffer from the same lack of inventory that the Honolulu has been experiencing.  If supply is low and demand is up, then one would expect upward pressure on prices and competition for good properties.  I guess Honolulu and London have more in common than the Union Jack.

The word Ku, as with many Hawaiian words, does not have one single, specific meaning as is common in the English language. Rather it is a concept best understood in the overall context of the culture from which it sprang.

In ancient Hawaii the land defined the people.  The ruling class (Alii) defined the land and the people were its caretakers.  Ku pertains to this chiefly defining of the land. Ku refers to the ability to have clear vision to make and direct good decisions for all involved.  Ku is expected to act in a good and fair manner, exhibiting direct, firm leadership. Ku signifies the authoritative energy of life. The chief was expected to govern well and to possess the compassionate qualities of diplomacy, fair governance, strong management, and balance for the benefit of the land and people.

All of these ideas are the aspiration and inspiration of KU Realty.

1.  How long have you been in real estate sales?
I started selling real estate in 1983, so as of this writing, I have be in full-time real estate sales for approximately 26 years.
2.  Are you full-time?
Yes.
3.  Do you have an agent or brokers license?
I have had a brokers license since 1995.  The first license you get to sell real estate is an agents license.  An agent can work for a broker, but cannot hire other agents.  A broker can open their own company and hire other agents to work for them.  A brokers license requires a minimum number of years as an agent.
4.  Have you ever been sued, mediated, arbitrated or found guilty of an ethical violation by your local Board of Realtors?
No.
5.  Explain your thoughts on representing a seller’s interests?
With regard to my listings, I represent the seller.  This means I have an obligation to protect my clients’ interest.  I do my best to disclose all of the perceived options and help my principles to come to the decision that best suits their needs.  The only time this could change is if a buyer/client of my firm decides to buy one of our listings.  In this case, if all parties agree, I would then become a dual agent and my duty to the seller would be limited.  All dual agencies are disclosed and are subject to the agreement of both the seller and buyer.  If a seller is uncomfortable with a dual agency, then the buyer will be referred to another firm and I will represent only the seller.
6.  Can you provide me 2 or 3 past clients that would be willing to speak with me regarding you and your service?
Yes.  Just let me know prior to our meeting and I will email you their contact information.
7.  Can you provide me the names of 2 or 3 brokers at other firms that would be willing to talk to me about you reputation in the brokerage community?
Yes. Just let me know prior to our meeting and I will email you their contact information.
8.  Who do you target with your marketing efforts?
The real estate brokerage community (85% of the sales on Oahu involve a broker from another real estate firm) and qualified buyers.
9.  What is your ranking for an organic google search for Honolulu real estate?
As if this writing, honolulurealestateviews.com is on page 1 of google.

Once you get these answers, you will have a better understanding of the experience and track record of your potential agent.  You can now focus on pricing and getting your property sold.

Today’s vintage home is in Manoa.  Fresh paint and different accent colors could make this home very charming.  Here is a little sarcasm, how do you like the blue recycling garbage can?  Honolulu-ites now have 3 of them blue, green and grey.  Funny that trash cans now litter our yards and streets.
