Contract & Negotiation
Emotion & Insulation: As I see it one of my most important roles in selling your property is to insulate you from the buyer and keep your emotions in check. Both of these points can be a seller’s greatest enemy when it comes to negotiating. I keep you at a comfortable distance from the buyer allowing you to make well thought out and rational decisions to increase your benefits in the sale.
Contract Review: I will review with you all Purchase Contracts and all the intricate details so that you understand all your legal rights and obligations laid out in our standard sale agreement.
The Negotiation Process: I will explain your options in the negotiating process and assist you in making a plan to achieve your sales goal; whether it be the highest price, the quickest sale, the easiest transition, or whatever is most important to you - just let me know.
Multiple Offers: In the event of multiple offers, I will guide you on your choices and advise you on how to take the greatest advantage of an active market.
The Paperwork: I will prepare and fill out any and all counter offers on the industry accepted forms in response to any Purchase Contract on your behalf.
Professional Guidance: I will advise you on negotiating strategies that may work, as well as the possible pitfalls to each strategy. Together we can make a decision on the best path to take for your negotiations
Facilitating The Sale: I will coordinate with my fellow agent and/or buyer to facilitate the quickest response to complete the negotiations as promptly as possible.
Closing The Deal
More Paperwork: I will see to it that after we have come to terms with the buyer, all documents are fully executed and copies are provided to all parties requesting them.
Opening Escrow: I will take care of setting up and opening the Escrow account and coordinating transfer of all documents to the appropriate title officer.
Scheduling Details: I will coordinate and schedule all inspections on your property and be available to meet them at a mutually agreed time so you do not have to worry about scheduling these inspections or being present. This would include, but not be limited to, home inspectors, appraisers, buyers final walk through, termite inspectors, as well as any other parties that may need to be escorted through your property.
Sellers Obligations: I will see to it that all your obligations in the contract are met by having all documents, surveys, disclosures completed and delivered to the buyer in a timely fashion.
Buyers Obligations: I will keep the buyer in check to make sure they are performing according to the timeframes in the contract regarding review of documents as well as the inspection periods.
Financing Obligations: In the event the buyer is financing the purchase of your property, I will verify the buyer’s ability and progress throughout the transaction to facilitate a smooth sale.
Communication: I will keep you abreast of all developments in the transaction in a timely matter whether they are positive or negative
Closing The Deal
Problems: I strive for a problem-free transaction and will always attempt to perform in a proactive fashion - however, occasionally problems do develop. It is my belief that part of my job is to facilitate solutions and not be an alarmist. I will advise you on your options in the event of problems during the transaction and guide you in making the best decision for the situation.
Keys to the Property: I will take care of transferring all keys and gate/door openers as directed. Transfer of Possession: I will coordinate with you, escrow, the selling agent, and the buyers to assure a smooth finish and transition from seller to the new buyer as well as assisting in coordinating any moving details.
The Next Step: If you are taking the proceeds from this sale and moving towards purchasing a new property, I can help you coordinate timing as well as assist you in finding the perfect new home.
Investment Property: In the event this is an investment property, you may want to consider doing a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange. I have a good working knowledge of this tax benefit and can answer most of your questions or put you in touch with an expert in the field.
Moving off Island: Need a Realtor in another community? I can help! I have a great network of exceptional agents across the US and Canada that I would be happy to refer you to - just let me know where you plan to make your next purchase and I will put you in touch with a top agent in that area.
Internet Marketing
With Internet Marketing, it's Important to be the Haystack, NOT the Needle
Internet Marketing has become one of the most important parts of the real estate business on Maui. Over the past 20 years, the Internet has taken over our world & the information age has gone into hyperdrive The Internet is now so prolific that it is not enough to just let the MLS feeds be the only source of Internet exposure for your listing.
With that in mind, we have embraced the Internet in a global fashion We currently operate two independent websites as well as subscribe to numerous paid & unpaid listing input services. As you know, there is now so much information on the Internet that buyers can search for property and find 10 different locations to find the same information That is why we believe it is so important to have our listings in as many locations as possible.
We spend thousands of dollars every month to provide the greatest exposure possible as well as listing enhancements for your property. We have included several samples of the many places you will see your listing on the Internet if you list with Lifestyle Maui. Please feel free to ask any questions about Internet Marketing that you may have

Showing Your Home
Once your home is ready to show, as your agent, I will begin marketing it to potential buyers and other sales associates. If possible, leave the home when buyers are present so they feel comfortable asking their agent candid questions Other Helpful Tips include:
Remove pets Take them with you or keep them penned in the yard or garage
Open shades and curtains to let in light
Turn on enough lights so the home is well-lit
Remove clutter from tables and bookshelves. Neatness makes rooms seem larger
Put away items in the yard such as garden tools, bicycles and toys
Grind up part of a lemon in the disposal to add fresh smell to the kitchen
Keep radios and TVs off, or on low volume
Keep money and other valuables, as well as prescription drugs, locked up.
Purchase and Sale
Purchase and Sale Agreement
Once we have found a buyer for your home, we will work with you through the purchase and sale agreement. This is the contract in which you and the buyer outline the details of your property transfer The purchase and sale agreement usually consists of the following:
Earnest money receipts
Financing addendum
Inspection addendum
Conditions/disclosure addendum
Contingency addendum, when appropriate
Addendum outlining special conditions
Lead-based paint notification, when appropriate
Agency disclosure form
Property disclosure form
Home Inspections
The Second Negotiation
Once a buyer has decided to make an offer on your home, it will usually be contingent upon a professional inspection of the entire property- including improvements. The home inspector looks beyond the cosmetics to make sure that the home’s general systems operate properly The inspector will also look for large repairs that are needed and report on the condition of the home.
The standard home inspector's report will review the conditions of the home’s heating and cooling systems; interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; foundation, basement and visible structure. The inspector will also look for cracks in cement walls, water stains that indicate leakage, and any indication of wood rot.
A home inspection also points out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape.
Remember, no home is perfect. If major problems are found, I will help you negotiate through the process. Often, buyers will attempt to request repairs and/or credits as a result of the inspection
Settlement and Closing
During the negotiation stage of the transaction, a mutually agreed-upon date for closing is determined “Closing” is when you and the seller sign all the paperwork and pay your share of the settlement fees, and the documents are recorded Prior to closing, the agent will complete a detailed settlement statement for both buyer and seller. As your agent, I can help you understand which of the following typical statement fees apply to you
The Seller Receives:
Utility deposits held by gas, electric, cable, telephone, and other companies
Prorated portion of pre-paid property taxes
Prorated mortgage interest from payments made during the current month
Fuel rebate for oil or propane remaining in storage tank
Net proceeds after seller’s share of expenses is paid

One-half of escrows paid to the escrow company for preparing the closing
Document preparation fees, if applicable

Points We Negotiate on Your Behalf
As a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) Part 1 of 3
Purchase Price: Negotiating the purchase price is crucial in getting the best deal for your property. We leverage market insights, property condition, and other factors to negotiate the most favorable price on your behalf
Counter Offers: When a buyer presents an offer that you find unacceptable or wish to modify, we may issue a counter offer. As your representative, we assist in evaluating counter offers and strategize the best response. This includes negotiating terms such as price adjustments, closing dates, contingencies, and other contractual conditions to reach a mutually beneficial agreement We leverage our negotiation skills and market expertise to advocate for your interests while maintaining effective communication between all parties involved in the transaction.
Earnest Money Deposit: The earnest money deposit shows the buyer’s commitment to purchasing the property We negotiate the amount of this deposit to ensure it aligns with industry standards while protecting your interests.
Days Until Close of Escrow: Negotiating the timeline for closing the escrow period, considering factors such as loan approval, inspections, and your readiness to move. This negotiation ensures a realistic and feasible closing timeline that meets your needs
Pest Inspection Report: Negotiating the terms around the pest inspection report involves ensuring any issues discovered are addressed by you. We aim to negotiate repairs or treatment costs if significant issues are found.
Home Inspection Report: We negotiate based on the findings of the home inspection report, advocating for the minimum repairs or concessions Negotiating an inspection contingency allows you to negotiate repairs if significant issues are discovered during inspections by the buyer or to refuse to do repairs or offer credit.
Other Inspection Reports (i.e., Roof, Sewer/Septic, mold, solar, pool). Beyond the general home inspection, we negotiate terms related to any specialized inspections Any issues uncovered in these reports are addressed in negotiations
Appraisal Contingency: We negotiate an appraisal contingency to protect you in case the property appraises for less than the agreed-upon purchase price, giving you options to renegotiate or walk away from the deal.
Seller Occupancy After Closing: Negotiating seller rent-back agreements allows you to remain in the property for a specified period after closing If you request this, We negotiate terms such as rental duration, rental rate, and any associated liabilities to ensure a smooth transition.
Points We Negotiate on Your Behalf
As a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) | Part 2 of 3
As-Is Addendums: In some cases, you may choose to sell the property "as-is," meaning you are not willing to make any repairs or modifications before the sale. In such instances, we carefully review the as-is addendum to understand the implications and ensure your interests are protected. We negotiate terms within the addendum to address any concerns regarding property condition and disclosures, striving to achieve a fair and transparent transaction for you.
1031 exchange terms-We negotiate on behalf of sellers in 1031 exchange transactions to identify suitable replacement properties within the designated timeframes and ensuring compliance with IRS regulations, maximizing tax deferral benefits and facilitating a seamless exchange process.
Vacation Rental Property Terms: We negotiate the terms for vacation rental properties including any pre-existing bookings, on behalf of the seller
Final Walk-Through Issues: Negotiating final walk-through involves addressing any discrepancies or damages discovered during the final inspection before closing, ensuring they are rectified or compensated for appropriately
Inclusions: Negotiating inventory and inclusions involves determining which items will remain with the property after closing, such as appliances, fixtures, furnishings, and other personal property. We negotiate to ensure that the inventory list accurately reflects the items you expect to be included in the sale and advocate for any items you desire to keep. Additionally, we negotiate the condition of these items to ensure they are in working order or as is and satisfactory condition at the time of transfer
Closing Date Extensions: We negotiate on your behalf if an extension to the closing date is needed for any reason, such as a delay in receiving documents.
Assesments - We negotiate for sellers when assessments arise during the contract period of the sale by thoroughly reviewing the nature and scope of the assessments, advocating for fair resolutions with the buyer or relevant authorities, and ensuring that any financial obligations related to the assessments are appropriately addressed within the terms of the contract, safeguarding our client's interests and minimizing potential financial impacts.
Occupancy: Negotiating occupancy terms involves determining when you can deliver possession of the property, ensuring a smooth transition
Points We Negotiate on Your Behalf
As a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) |Part 3 of 3
Terms of Financing: We negotiate the terms of financing on behalf of our sellers by collaborating closely with buyers to secure favorable loan terms and conditions that align with our client's financial objectives, and ensure that financing terms are transparent. Additionally we negotiate the amount of earnest money the buyer will deposit.
Seller remedies regarding Seller's Disclosure: If discrepancies or issues arise from the seller's disclosures, we negotiate on behalf of our sellers to seek appropriate remedies This may involve requesting additional information or documentation, renegotiating the terms of the sale to reflect any newly disclosed information, or pursuing legal recourse if necessary to protect our client's interests and uphold their rights as sellers.
Issues Arising from the Survey: If discrepancies or concerns arise from the property survey, we negotiate with relevant parties, such as the neighbors or surveyor, to resolve these issues satisfactorily. This may involve clarifying property boundaries, resolving encroachments, or addressing any other survey-related issues to ensure the buyer's confidence in the property's legal and physical integrity.
Negotiating access for properties in Active vacation rentals: When dealing with properties currently in vacation rentals, we negotiate access to facilitate property viewings and inspections without disrupting rental operations. We work to accommodate both the seller's rental commitments and the buyer's needs, negotiating access schedules that minimize inconvenience while allowing the buyers to thoroughly assess the property
Termination of the Contract if Needed: If it becomes evident that the contract is not in the seller’s best interest due to unforeseen circumstances or issues that cannot be resolved satisfactorily, we negotiate the termination of the contract on behalf of our seller This may involve invoking contractual contingencies, negotiating terms for contract termination, and ensuring that earnest money deposit is retained or returned in accordance with contractual agreements and legal guidelines.
By skillfully negotiating these aspects on your behalf, we aim to secure the best possible terms and conditions for your real estate transaction, ensuring your interests are protected every step of the way.
HARPTA and FIRPTA
HARPTA - Hawaii Real Property Tax Act
The Hawaii Real Property Tax Act (HARPTA) requires the buyer who purchases real property from a non-resident of Hawaii to withhold 7.25%+ of the amount realized (generally the sales price) and remit it to the Department of Taxation within 20 days of closing unless an exemption applies
The 7.25% withholding represents an estimate of the Hawaii capital gains tax that may be owed by the non-resident when selling real property in Hawaii
The standard Hawaii Association of Realtors Purchase Contract provides that escrow is to withhold and remit the HARPTA amount to the Department of Taxation unless the seller provides the buyer with a certificate of exemption or waiver from HARPTA
It is the seller’s burden to prove that an exemption / waiver applies and for the buyer to acknowledge and approve the seller’s exemption / waiver prior to closing Under Hawaii law, it is the buyer’s responsibility to determine if the seller is a non-resident of Hawaii and that the proper withholding amount is remitted to the Department of Taxation on a timely basis.
FIRPTA - Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Act
The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) requires the buyer who purchases real property from a foreign seller to withhold 10% or 15% of the amount realized (generally the sales price) and remit it to the IRS within 20 days of closing unless an exemption applies The withholding percentage will depend upon the sales price and whether the buyer or buyer’s family member intends to use the real property as a residence.*
The withholding percentage represents an estimate of the federal capital gains tax that may be owed by the foreign seller when selling real property in the United States.
The standard Hawaii Association of REALTORS® Purchase Contract provides that escrow is to withhold and remit the FIRPTA amount to the IRS unless the seller provides the buyer with a certificate of exemption or waiver from HARPTA.
It is the seller’s burden to prove that an exemption / waiver applies and for the buyer to acknowledge and approve the seller’s exemption / waiver prior to closing. Under federal law, it is the buyer’s responsibility to determine if the seller is a foreigner subject to FIRPTA withholding and that the proper withholding amount is remitted to the IRS on a timely basis
Conveyance Tax
The State of Hawai’i imposes a tax on the conveyances or transfers of real property and interests in real property by deed, lease, sublease, an assignment of lease, or other document unless an exemption applies (HRS §247-1)
The tax imposed in the State of Hawai’i by section 247-1 shall be based on the actual and full consideration "total sales price"(whether cash or otherwise, including any promise, act, forbearance, property interest, value, gain, advantage, benefit, or profit), paid or to be paid for all sales of realty or any interest therein, that shall include any liens or encumbrances thereon at the time of sale, lease, sublease, assignment, transfer, or conveyance, and shall be at the following rates:
Scale #1
Applies to all transfers or conveyance of realty or any interest therein, for properties with homeowners exemption (increments of $100 of sale price will be added proportionately to tax)
$0 > $600,000 = 10¢
$600,000 > $1 Million = 20¢
$1 Million > $2 Million = 30¢
$2 Million > $4 Million = 50¢
$4 Million > $6 Million = 70¢
$6 Million > $10 Million = 90¢
10 Million and Above = $1.00
Scale #2
Applies to sales of condominium or singlefamily residence where the purchaser does not have a county homeowner's exemption (increments of $100 of sale price will be added proportionately to tax)
$0 > $600,000 = 15¢
$600,000 > $1 Million = 25¢
$1 Million > $2 Million = 40¢
$2 Million > $4 Million = 60¢
$4 Million > $6 Million = 85¢
$6 Million > $10 Million = $1 10
10 Million and Above = $1.25
In Maui, the conveyance tax responsibility is typically paid by the seller

• Donations are “o the top,” or before commissions are divided, so Hawai‘i Life contributes a portion of the donation, regardless of the amount. If the agent wants to contribute more than $100, Hawai‘i Life will continue to share in that amount.
