Email Negotiating Could Kill Your Sale
July 29th, 2010 categories: Negotiating Contracts
In today’s video blog, I compare negotiating by email versus a direct conversation with the interested parties. Each has its role and strength, but email negotiating can end up making the transaction way more complicated than it needs to be.

Buying REO’s & Bank Addenda
June 30th, 2010 categories: For Buyers, Negotiating Contracts, Video For Buyers
After a buyer makes an initial written offer on an REO much of the negotiation process is handled via email or verbally. Once a price is agreed upon then the REO Company will issue their particular form of many-paged addendum. If at all possible, try to get it in advance because they can hold surprises. Today’s video blog discusses how to plan for this process.

Does AS IS Exempt A Seller From Disclosure?
April 4th, 2010 categories: For Sellers, Negotiating Contracts, Video For Buyers
In today’s video blog, I discuss whether or not selling a property “AS IS” will exempt seller having to tell a buyer about known issues or problems with a property. Here’s the bottom line, no matter strong or tough a contract is on being sold “AS IS”, the seller still has to tell a buyer what they know.

Honolulu Condos With 70% Or More Owner Occupancy
January 13th, 2009 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Negotiating Contracts
Here is a BIG thank you to Tim O’Leary, of Bank of Hawaii, for directing me to Hicondos.com. In yesterday’s blog post, I informed you that lenders are now requiring a owner occupancy of 70% or more, if a buyer is using a down payment in a purchase of less that 20% of the price. As I feared, there are not many Honolulu condos that can meet this level of occupancy. Below are 10 that do meet the guideline.
1001 Wilder-87%
1010 Wilder-95%
1015 Wilder-83%
1133 Waimanu-75%
1350 Ala Moana-89%
Cantebury Place-80%
Courtyards at Punahou-94%
Hawaiki Tower-90%
Oceanside Manor-78%
Queen Victoria Residences-80%
Note that this is not a complete list, but I will post more as I find them. It is interesting that most of these condominiums are in the upper range of value for Honolulu. Call me at 808-737-2093 or toll free at 877-737-2093 to discuss your real estate plan.
