Hawaii Home Selling FAQs

We help Hawaii sellers understand their options for selling a home as-is. There is no obligation to accept an offer.

Are you the buyer?

We sign the purchase agreement with you, then may close ourselves or assign the agreement to a local investor partner. Your price and terms stay the same.

What does assign mean?

We transfer our side of the purchase agreement to another buyer. Your agreement still states the price and closing terms.

Do I need to fix or clean anything?

No. We consider homes as-is.

Are there fees or commissions?

There is no agent commission. Any closing costs and responsibilities are explained clearly in the written offer before you sign.

How fast can we close?

You choose the date. Timing depends on escrow and title review, liens, probate, tenants, and other details.

How is the offer calculated?

We consider the property, condition, repair and holding costs, and the market. We explain the main terms of the offer.

Can I sell an inherited, tenant-occupied, leasehold, or damaged home?

Send the details. We review many situations, including inherited homes, rentals, leasehold interests, and properties needing significant work.

Can I sell from off-island?

Often, yes. Ask your escrow company or CPA about HARPTA and other requirements.

How we work: we sign a purchase agreement with you. We may close the purchase ourselves or assign the agreement to one of our local investor partners. Your price and terms in the agreement stay the same either way.

What does assignment mean?

We sign a purchase agreement with you. We may close ourselves or assign that agreement to a local investor partner. Your written price and terms stay the same either way.

Can the price change if the contract is assigned?

No. The price and terms in your signed agreement stay the same.

Are you my realtor or lender?

No. We are a cash home buyer / investment company, not your listing agent or lender.

Can I back out before I sign?

Yes. Until you sign a purchase agreement, a written offer is not binding.

Who pays closing costs?

Closing costs are explained in the written offer before you sign. Ask escrow about conveyance tax, GET, and HARPTA; we do not give tax advice.

Do you buy leasehold?

We can review leasehold properties case by case. Terms depend on the lease and title.

Can I sell a house that has tenants?

Yes, you can request an offer on a tenant-occupied home. Tell us about the lease terms, rent, and deposits; escrow handles how the lease and deposits transfer, and you do not need to remove tenants just to get an offer.
