Moving to Hawaii

With its matchless climate, gorgeous scenery, and slower pace of life, the 50th state is the choice of many people who could live anywhere in the world. If you are determined, do your homework, and want the adventure of a lifetime, Hawaii is for you. The “Aloha Spirit” here is as real as the tropical flowers, and every day when you wake up you’ll know that you are not in Kansas anymore!

There are many details to plan before you buy that one-way ticket to Paradise.  If you already know the Islands well, you are ahead of the game. Otherwise consider a trip to look at home and job choices first. Finding a home in Hawaii is usually a major concern for people relocating to the Islands. The home choices and the process itself are somewhat different than elsewhere. Our homes are expensive compared to many parts of the nation. What will your choices be, and how should you proceed? Contact me for help!

Supply and Demand

There is very little buildable land on these small islands, with their steep mountain terrain and vine-draped canyons. Most of the prime land has already been developed. Like other costly markets such as in Manhattan or San Francisco, there is a strong demand for property. Don't worry - buyers have more choices now than ever before in our current market. If you want to experience the unique Island lifestyle, you might be paying more for your home than you will in some parts of the country. With my experience, I can help you find the best home at the right price.

The Beach is Free
Be sure to keep in mind some of the other compensating factors that balance the higher prices.  Property taxes in Hawaii are a pleasant surprise for most people, with rates at less than ˝ of 1% assessed on the value of the property. You won't need to heat your home, and so much recreation is free.

If you like adventure, are open to new experiences in a multi-cultural environment, and you want to live in one of the most beautiful and interesting places in the world, you will love life in Hawaii.

When you hire me to assist you with this important decision, I promise to make your Hawaii move a pleasure. After all, it is a chance for me to revisit why I moved here in 1986 and fall in love with the Islands all over again! Just Ask for my Relocation Planner here!
