- Educate yourself on the 9 districts, 11 micro-climates, current market pricing, and area amenities. Check out the Your Journey section of my site for helpful information, as well as past posts under the Big Island & Real Estate section.
- Find a Realtor® who specializes in the kind of property you wish to buy. Interview her/him as to their qualifications, experience and commitment. You’re looking for a good “fit.”
- Commit to this Realtor® through the use of the Buyers Representation Contract. Why? Because he/she needs your commitment just like you need his/hers.
- Time is of the essence…don’t wait to present your offer when the time comes to pull the trigger. The property you want may be gone in the blink of an eye! It’s still a seller’s market.
- Follow your Timeline! A great agent will provide you your personalized Timeline to help you stay on course as you move through the escrow process. The various contingencies provide the opportunity to continue to closing or cancel, if needed. A miss on a date could mean “That ship has sailed” and you can’t get your deposit back.
