The Value of Buyer Representation
Being represented by an agent means you have a trusted advocate working exclusively in your best interest.
Here’s how I can help you:
✔ Local Expertise – As a Maui real estate specialist, I provide valuable insights into the island’s neighborhoods, market trends, and hidden gems.
✔ Personalized Guidance – I take the time to understand your needs, preferences, and goals to find the perfect property for you.
✔ Skilled Negotiation – With my experience in contract negotiation, I work diligently to secure the best price and terms for your purchase.
✔ Streamlined Process – From property searches to closing, I ensure a smooth transaction by coordinating inspections, financing, and paperwork.
✔ Exclusive Access – I provide early access to listings, off-market opportunities, and industry connections that give you a competitive edge.
Understanding Buyer Representation Contracts
As of recent rule changes in 2024, Hawaii real estate agents must have a signed Buyer Representation Agreement before showing homes or representing a buyer in a transaction. This ensures clarity in expectations, responsibilities, and compensation.
This contract:
✔ Defines Our Working Relationship – Outlines my responsibilities and commitment to you as your trusted advisor.
✔ Protects Your Interests – Ensures you receive dedicated service, ethical representation, and professional expertise throughout the buying process.
Compensation Can Be Structured in Different Ways – If a seller offers compensation, it typically covers the buyer agent’s commission. However, if the seller does not offer compensation, we can discuss:
✔ Negotiating compensation into the offer price.
✔ Arranging for the buyer to pay the commission directly.
✔ Exploring other creative solutions to ensure you receive expert representation without unexpected costs.
