Oahu Real Estate | Buying, Selling & Real Estate Planning
Aloha!
I'm a Hawaii REALTOR® and Certified Real Estate Planner with Compass, born and raised on Maui and licensed statewide. I split my time between Maui and Oahu, and on Oahu I work with a team that's there every day: agents who handle showings, listings and buyer tours, a financial planning partner, and a native Japanese-speaking partner for clients and families who are more comfortable in Japanese.
What I bring is the planning side. Most of the Oahu clients we help aren't just buying or selling; they're deciding what to do with a longtime family home, helping a parent downsize, handling an inherited or trust-held property, or figuring out whether to hold, sell or exchange an investment. I lead the strategy, my Oahu team runs the day-to-day, and you get one plan instead of five opinions.
Buying on Oahu
Oahu is a different market from the neighbor islands: more condos, more leasehold, more HOA and building-reserve questions, tighter parking and zoning, and a wider spread between neighborhoods than newcomers expect. Before you write an offer we look at the building or lot, the documents, the numbers and the situation around it. My Oahu team handles the tours in person; for clients on the mainland, on Maui or in Japan, we walk properties by video and tell you what we'd tell a friend.
Selling on Oahu
Pricing on Oahu turns on the building, the floor, the view line and the reserve study as much as square footage. For single-family homes it turns on permits, additions, and what a buyer's inspector will find. We start with a written valuation from comparable sales, a preparation plan with real estimates, and marketing through Compass that reaches Hawaii, mainland, and Japanese and international buyers. My team on Oahu manages showings, vendors and the transaction; I manage the strategy and the negotiation.
Senior downsizing and relocation on Oahu
When an Oahu property is held in a trust or goes through probate, the sale has to fit the legal process. I work with trustees and personal representatives on valuation, preparation, marketing and closing, and coordinate with the estate attorney so nothing is done out of order. More on trust and probate sales.
Investors and 1031 exchanges
Whether you own a rental on Oahu and are deciding what to do with it, or you're exchanging out of a mainland or Maui property into Oahu, we'll run the numbers together: cash flow, cap rate, what a sale nets after HARPTA and FIRPTA withholding, and whether a 1031 exchange makes sense for your situation. I'm not a qualified intermediary; I work alongside yours, your CPA and our financial planning partner. How a 1031 exchange into Hawaii property works.
