Avoiding Dual Agency
For those of you who have worked with Hawaii Life Real Estate Services before, you are probably aware of our stance on dual agency. If not, here is what we have to say on the matter (taken from our Sellers Services page):
“You’re our client, and we take that very seriously. We actively avoid representing both buyer and seller in the same transaction. We’re committed to our fiduciary responsibilities of loyalty and obedience to you, so we avoid what’s called a “Dual Agency” transaction in which we “represent” both parties. More »

If you’re looking for a great deal on a luxury property in Hawaii, check out these Hawaii real estate deals.
Hawaii Life Agents from each major Hawaiian Island have been asked to pick out luxury deals using market knowledge of their respective neighborhoods. The list was then voted on by the Hawaii Life staff and posted to Top Ten Real Estate Deals. what you get is a variety of hot properties in the upper price range, but each listing included is a steal. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Hanalei Bay Beachfront for $2.25M – This will probably be the last opportunity to by on the Bay at this low of a price.
- Diamond Head Villa reduced by $1.5M – Not to mention the home next door sold for 40% + more in 2005.
- “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” Producer’s former home – In Oahu’s most exclusive community.
Be sure to check back every month as we’ll be updating these regularly!

Puu Poa View of Bali Hai
One of my favorite places to surf is at Hideaways in Princeville Resort. And every time I’m out in the water I’m staring back at the beautiful Puu Poa condominium complex…day dreaming about what it would be like to own one of these units. Not only are they beautiful, but I could check the surf from my bed when I wake up every morning!
Puu Poa Condos Currently for Sale
- 2 bed / 2 bath, $1,450,000 – Reduced by $949,000. What a deal!
- 2 bed / 2 bath, $999,000 – Under $1M ;-)
Of course, if you’re like me and can’t afford to buy one of these you can always vacation rent one. Here are some owner direct vacation Puu Poa condos.

Home Mortgage Interest Deductions To Be Reduced
Bob Schwartz of Brokerforyou.com
Obama’s new budget plan, “includes a proposal to limit the tax rate at which high-income taxpayers can take itemized deductions to 28 percent — and the initial reserve fund would be funded in part through this provision. This provision would raise $318 billion over 10 years.”

Why Do I Need A Title Company To Purchase Real Estate?
Posted by Justin - Head Web Head on October 21st, 2009 |
Tags: For Sale
If you’re going to buy a home in Hawaii then you will need to determine whether any person other than the seller has any right, lien, claim or encumbrance on that property so that you can be sure you are buying the home free and clear. This is where a Title Company comes in.
A Title Company will do extensive research through public records and provide a report. At this point Title insurance can be issued which will eliminate risks and prevent losses that can occur when a title is defective.
