Buyers who purchase through the company will be rebated a full 30% of the companies’ buyer commission. This 30% rebate may be used to help pay closing costs, be used towards repairs to the home, or buyers may even take the rebate as cash to upgrade the property. In some instances Buyers lender approval may be required.

 

The 30% rebate is only being offered through Hawaiian Americana Realty. The Buyer Commission Rebate program is a relatively new, but simple concept. The buyer’s broker typically collects a 3% commission from the Seller. With the Hawaiian Americana Realty rebate program, the Buyer keeps 30% of that commission. On a $450,000 home in Honolulu, that is over $4,000 that goes straight back to the Buyer.

“Although home and condominium sales for December 2011 took a small dip compared to last year, we are seeing prices rise for single-family homes,” said Joe Paikai, newly-elected President of the Honolulu Board of REALTORS®. “We’ve also noticed that particular neighborhoods have made significant jumps in sales compared to last year. This is a good sign for Honolulu as a whole; we expect to see this rise in sales spread as the economy continues to recover.”

(This report reflects information about resales of existing properties only and does not include new home sales. All of the MLS information is compiled from sales reported during the cited months; this data is known only after closing of escrow. The time delay between the signing of a sales contract and the closing of escrow is usually between one and three months.)
