Insiders Guide
Aloha! Not only has our family purchased an investment condo in Kona, we have been involved in property management of three condo complexes and have educated the public on real estate for over five years on the island and 15 in the SF Bay Area.
Hawai'i is a unique real estate market and there are nuances that you won’t find in a single guide, but WILL impact you if you buy a condo, single family home, investment property or land on the Big Island.
Before you call a real estate agent, do your homework!
I wrote this book to give you the insider scoop on everything you need to know, so you can make intelligent decisions for you and your family on making the leap to buying real estate on an island.
TESTIMONIAL:
My husband and I visit the Big Island annually and intend to move to Kailua-Kona in the next 2-3 years. We have been researching online and visiting open houses trying to gather any information we can before we make the big move. I was surprised and very pleased with the depth of the information provided in the “Insider’s Guide to Buying Real Estate on the Big Island of Hawai’i”. I learned important information on property taxes and unique escrow practices. I appreciated learning about the origin of leasehold property and at least a dozen other topics that were a complete surprise. I am very happy with the purchase. It is a well written reference manual for those interested in buying property on the Big Island.
