I had a buyer who was in Hawaii for 2 weeks. They really wanted to find a property while they were here and knew the area they wanted. I was able to find them a 1 bedroom in Waikiki in their budget and in the area they were looking at. Once in escrow they returned back to California and have remained there through the end of their transaction.
This past week I did their final walk through for them, making sure that the repairs that we requested were completed, the property was clean, and made sure that everything was still in good working order. Every buyer should do a final walk through, especially if they are a 1st time home buyer. If there is something that should have been fixed or is different than when you last saw it then your realtor should help correct this prior to your funding date.
Since my client was in California, I did the walk through for them and took video of several windows that were repaired, screens that had been cleaned, and of the appliances to show they were still working. Buyers and their real estate agents should do the same. #HawaiiStartsHere
