Are you interested in purchasing a home in Ewa Beach, Hawaii?  Is your Hawaii real estate agent informing you that you must make your decision quickly when a new listing comes on the market because if you don’t, someone else will beat you to it?

Listen to your agent!  I saw some serious disappointment this past weekend when I listed a new home for sale in the Ewa by Gentry Sonoma Prescott neighborhood.

Ewa Beach Home For Sale

I listed the home for sale on Sep 29th and had an open house 4 days later on Sunday October 4th.  There were 21 groups of people that came through the open house.  I received 2 offers for the property on that same day.  I met with the Sellers that night and they had an extremely tough decision but they selected one of the offers.  Both offers were almost exactly identical.

Within 24 hours after that, 3 other Hawaii real estate agents called me to set up showings which I had to politely decline since we were now under contract.  The agents said their clients would be disappointed because the house looked perfect.  This is one example of why you cant wait when a new house for sale hits the market especially in places like Ewa Beach, Kapolei, Makakilo, Koolina Resort, Waikele and Mililani  just to name a few.  You must go to see it right away!

Also within that same 24 hour period, 2 other agents called me to let me know that their buyers came to my open house on Oct 4th and they would now be submitting offers.  I also politely informed them that the Sellers had already received 2 offers and would be accepting one that evening.  This is another lesson learned.  If you go to visit an open house in Hawaii, the house seems to be perfect for you then you need to tell your Hawaii real estate agent to meet you immediately and write up the offer.  Waiting 24 or 48 hours is not going to cut it!

I think you probably figured out the moral of this blog but here it is anyway:  Move quickly when a home comes on the market because it will be gone at the blink of an eye.
