What You're Missing in Home Search -- US!
How is that search for a home going for ya?
The day is rapidly approaching that when you go to search for a home, you are not going to search by city, price and beds and baths. You will search by asking AI for what you want in terms of lifestyle and feeling and Realtors will have to find a way to put in a whole new level of search terms to help you find that home.
But better yet, when you work with us, we know the local lifestyle.
After living in Kona for 21 years, we possess a very valuable asset we love to share. We know walkability, schools, safety, ocean access, stores, politics, and community feeling..the things you will have a hard time finding out if you live on the mainland 2500 miles away from Hawaii Island. Yes? We also know what may be coming on the market through our relationships to listing agents, which we can share with you directly 24 hours before it hits the market.
We are a VERY valuable resource to you in getting you to the home you love beyond what you will find on Zillow.
And what makes us even more valuable is that we have a pulse on the market. We know that right now the market is softening and we have the experience to know how much to negotiate with a seller. We also know how to negotiate on more than price.
Is the seller trying to get off the island quickly? Has the house been on the market a long time because they don't want to lose money and what is their motivation? Can you offer letting them stay in the home after close of escrow to give them time to pack up and leave? (We negotiated a three month lease back for one of our sellers to give her time to pack and arrange for her animals to be transported). We also have negotiated for replacement appliances, months of HOA dues and other seller concessions.
Real estate can be a complicated experience, especially when buying property from from the mainland and especially in a shifting market.
This post is not a sales job. I just believe in helping our buyers who find us through our 365 Hawaii channels because those buyers usually have a connection to the island and those are our people! Look at our testimonials and you will see that we take very good care of our clients and we negotiate on a variety of fronts to help them get the home and the price and amenities they desire.
We provide 30 minute Zoom calls to get to know you, see where you are at and see if we can help.
Email me at Julie@Ziemelis.com when you are ready to get the questions you can't find anywhere else about Hawaii Island relocation, buying, selling and investing!
If you have not yet found our 365Hawaii lifestyle channel, you will see that we have over 17,000 subscribers and report regularly on West Hawaii. Check out our latest video about "Good News in Kona!"
