If you have decided to buy he real estate in Hawaii, let me introduce you with the whole procedure of our cooperation.

1. Consultation: I can give you in-person or phone consultation or you can even ask me your questions via e-mail. The main goal of the first consultation is the exchange of information. You should tell me what kind of real estate you are looking for, the area of its location, your preferences and requirements to it, and, of course, your financial capacity. This information can give me the idea of what you are really looking for and what I can offer to you. In my turn, I can give you the whole picture of the Hawaiian real estate market, its features and laws and introduce you with the buying procedure.
2. Mortgage broker: Before we start searching the real estate, you should consult a mortgage broker. If you need a mortgage to buy a real estate, the mortgage broker issues you a pre-approval letter confirming you can afford to pay the mortgage. If you don’t need a mortgage and you can pay the whole amount at once you need just the asset verification letter confirming you have the sufficient amount of funds on your deposit. I can help you to find a reliable mortgage broker who renders his/her services for an affordable price. A competent broker will help you save your time.
3. Showing available real estate: Next, we can start looking for the flat/house basing on the price range that fits your finances and your criteria to your future real estate. We can view flats/houses on-line and then see those you liked in person. It is very important to look at your potential property in person to evaluate its condition to determine its advantages and disadvantages and define whether it corresponds to the price established by the seller or not.
4. Document preparation:  So, eventually you found the house/flat of your dreams and you are absolutely sure you want to buy it. At this stage I contact a seller’s agent to find out the seller’s requirements that will help us to prepare a complete package of the documents. We also discuss the price, terms and conditions of the purchase deal. If so required, I can open a real estate inspection to make sure about its good condition.
5. Real estate is yours:  All the procedure of buying real estate is over and you are a lucky owner of the Hawaiian real estate.

Here are the main points of my property management plan:

1. First of all I should see your property to evaluate its rental rate according to the market rates.2. Then we sign a six month or one year property management agreement that continues on a month-to-month basis thereafter.3. I place your rental advertisement and its photo in daily newspapers specializing in this field. You pay for this advertisement just a cost price and no additional fees. Moreover your rental advertisement will be listed in the Department of Defense Community Housing Referral website (ahrn.com) and Craigslist (online classifieds) website.4. Your rental will be available to your potential tenants at a time convenient to them.5. When I find the tenant who really wants to rent your property I should find out the following information to make sure of his/her solvability:

• To get tenant’s credit report
• To get the information about tenant from previous landlords that rented to him/her their property
• To get the information about him/her from the current employer

6. If I am sure about the solvability of the tenant, I draw up a rental agreement and sign it with him/her and then collect security deposit. Owner of the property is given a copy of this agreement.7. When the property is already rented or is going to be rented I check its condition before and after its occupancy and give to the owner a copy of the initial inventory and condition form.8. If the property needs to be repaired I arrange this using the services of only reliable handymen, plumbers, electricians and other professionals registered in my list.9. Before the tenant settles in your house or flat I collect the rent from him/her. In case of payment delay I charge late fees and follow up with their collection.10. If the tenant refuses to pay I evict him/her without collection agency or attorney interference. If so required I represent the property owner in courts.11. Every month I prepare rental reports on income and expenses with copies of receipts for paid invoices attached.
7. When the tenant is going to vacate the rental I check its condition and prepare return of security deposit letter with the deductions for unpaid rents, late fees and damages.

In addition, I assist the owner with the annual report on income and expense report. It will make it easier for the owner to prepare the income tax return.  Moreover, I prepare the required IRS Form 1099 and mail the copies to the State authority and to the owner.
