Most real estate investors make the same mistake. They don’t increase their rent. Want to sell your Hawaii Area Home? Get a home value report Want to buy a Hawaii area home? Search all homes for sale We've been receiving a lot of questions about this topic lately, so today we want to talk to you about investment properties. The most common mistake investors make is not raising the rent. They put a tenant in place and keep the rent the same for years. The rent covers the payments, and if they pay on time, it's a win-win. Right? Wrong. When tenants get comfortable with their rents, their other expenses tend to eat up their leftover income. When it's time to get them out, they will have a hard time finding a comparable property at the rent you've been charging them. Get a professional rental analysis. It will be a challenge having them vacate the property when it’s time to sell, but we have a very easy solution. Get a professional rental analysis. Raising your rent to market rates may even cover the management fees. We highly recommend Duke Kimhan and his staff at Hawaii Pacific Property Management. Let them take the call for a clogged toilet on Super Bowl Sunday. We use them for our own investment properties and they could be a great fit for you if you're thinking of investing in Hawaii real estate as well. If you have any questions for us, don't hesitate to give us a call or send us an email anytime. We look forward to hearing from you.

Want to sell your Hawaii Area Home? Get a home value report Want to buy a Hawaii area home? Search all homes for sale Today we want to talk to you about Zillow and—their Zestimates! A lawsuit filed by a homeowner in Illinois could affect homeowners here in Hawaii. There is a woman claiming her home is valued at $626,000 and Zillow estimates her home is worth $562,000, a $64,000 difference! Our good friend Barbara Corcoran was on Good Morning America talking about this. You can see Barbara's interview here. The homeowner who filed the lawsuit feels that the typical buyer will look at Zillow’s Zestimate and think her home is worth less. Zillow responded by saying that a “Zestimate is a starting point to determine a home’s value, and isn’t an official appraisal." Now you may be asking yourself, is Zillow the place to start when determining the value of your home? Well, Barbara says it is a starting point, but not a reliable starting point. She recommends contacting a real estate agent who knows what they are doing or getting an appraisal as opposed to depending an algorithm for your home's value. Zillow's fault factor is about 5%. Homebuyers use Zillow to determine value, but don’t know that the fault factor is roughly 5%. One in 20 homes is Zestimated at less than they are actually worth. Our advice is to give us a call so we can put our expertise of selling hundreds of homes every year into determining the value of your home so you can sell it for the most amount of money in the least amount of time. There is no obligation at all—we are just here to help. If you'd like to know what your home is truly worth or you're thinking of buying or selling real estate, give us a call or send us an email soon. We'd love to hear from you.

  You can check out the full endorsement in the video above, but what really stood out to us was that the message of his music and the message of our business aren’t so different after all. “When ‘I’m Moving On’ won the award for ACM song of the year, it struck a chord with folks who understand the challenges that come with life’s big changes. For many, that time comes when they sell their home. If you’re moving on, you want a team that will make selling your home easy and stress-free.” – Gary LeVox If you have any questions for us, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you.

We have another mastermind coming up and we’d love for you to join us.

Today we wanted to talk to you about the power of the mastermind.

Dr. Napoleon Hill calls the mastermind the key that will open the door to your desires—whatever they may be. He defines it as two or more people that work in perfect harmony for the attainment of a definite purpose.

We are holding a mastermind session in our Kapolei Business Center like we do every month on the last Friday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The agenda is always filled with topics that will bring you success.

“THIS INVITATION IS FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN LEARNING THESE SUCCESS SECRETS.”

This mastermind will feature Mr. William, a professional voice coach. He will teach you how to improve your ability to communicate with clients and loved ones. This will bring you more clients and improve your relationships. Become a trained speaker whether one-on-one or to a group. His most important points are power, confidence, and clarity.

Today, we wanted to share our list of upgrades that won't bring you any value or return on your investment. Want to sell your Hawaii Area Home? Get a home value report Want to buy a Hawaii area home? Search all homes for sale When you prepare your home to sell it, there are certain upgrades you should actually avoid making: 1. Wallpaper: Buyers don't want to see wallpaper! 2. Lavish lighting: Chihuly fixtures look cool in the lobby of a Las Vegas resort, but not in a home. Buyers won't see the value, so keep light fixtures simple. 3. Carpet: If you're thinking of replacing it, go with laminate or engineered wood flooring. 4. Bold colors: Unless you're Austin Powers trying to defeat Dr. Evil, keep colors neutral and calm. 5. Overspending on landscaping: Here in Hawaii, less is best. Have clear sight lines of the home from the street to give great curb appeal. A functional sprinkler system will give you the best return. Think open green spaces, not a jungle landscape. If you'd like to hear the final five things you should avoid in your home when preparing it for the market, give us a call to schedule a consultation. We'd love to share them with you!
