 Here’s a chance to meet our fantastic buyer’s specialists, Shane Arquines. Shane Arquines, who was born and raised in Honolulu but relocated to Kapolei, has become one of Team Lally’s invaluable buyer’s specialists. Here’s what he had to say about his Team Lally experience thus far:  How did you hear about Team Lally?  I first heard about Team Lally when I used to do pizza delivery; when I was driving around the area, the Team Lally real estate signs were one of the more frequent signs that I saw. I started researching real estate professionals; Team Lally was definitely one of the first ones I searched since they were top of mind.  What motivated you to join Team Lally?  It’s funny, because when I first applied, it was one of maybe 20 jobs I applied for. But after I went through the extensive interview process, I could sense that there was something different about how they did business. I could tell that they were unique, and I really wanted to be a part of that. I ended up rejecting a couple of job offers before Team Lally even offered me anything—that’s just how much I wanted to be a part of the team.  “      I hope to educate our buyers and make them masters the home buying process.” What is your role on Team Lally?  My role on Team Lally is that of a buyer’s specialist, so my responsibility is to make our buyers happy. I hope to educate our buyers and make them masters the home buying process. I know I’ve done my job when our clients are happy in a new home! What do you enjoy about working on a team?  The thing I like most about working on a team is that I don’t have to worry about 5,000 different things everyday. Being on a team like Team Lally allows me to progress my skills as a buyer’s agent everyday and put more time and focus into truly helping my clients.  If you’re thinking about entering the market as a homebuyer soon, don’t hesitate to reach out to Shane or one of our other awesome team members by phone or email! As Shane said it best, “It’s my job to make you happy.” We look forward to hearing from you soon.

We want to help three families who have been impacted by COVID-19. Here’s how. At Team Lally, we pride ourselves on our community outreach efforts to help keep Hawaii special.

We already have one family signed up, so here’s where we need your help: If you or someone you know has been affected by the pandemic, visit www.HelpingOahu.com and fill out the form.

Here’s what to know as we head into fall. The August numbers are finally out for our real estate market and we’re excited to share them with you.  For starters, the single-family home median price is up to an all-time high of $839,000. For condo units, we had about 400 units sold at an average price of $430,000. The single-family homes are selling in an average of 15 days, while condos are taking slightly longer at 23 days on average. If we were representing you as a buyer, here are our three top pieces of advice: 1. Come in strong. Inventory is low and competition is fierce. 2. Make sure you’re pre-approved. Your offer won’t be nearly as strong without one. 3. Hire professional agents. It’s tough out there and you’re going to need some experience on your side. If you have any questions for us about the current market or anything else related to real estate, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you.
