"I know the Honolulu market is unique. I know driving H-1 Freeway to Downtown Honolulu is a grind. I see Mid-century Ranch homes dealing with termite damage and old galvanized plumbing or strict ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) regulations. Unlike Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties, I don't ask you to fix it. I buy it as-is, saving you $54,000 in commissions. We handle the Hawaiian Electric and City and County of Honolulu Real Property Assessment Division paperwork for you."

Navigating probate after the loss of a loved one in Honolulu can be emotionally and financially draining, especially when a property is involved. Hawaii's probate process, handled through the Circuit Court of the First Circuit, can be lengthy, often taking 6-12 months or even longer, incurring significant legal fees and administrative costs. Selling a probate property traditionally can add further delays due to necessary court approvals, property condition issues, and market fluctuations.
We offer a compassionate solution, buying inherited properties in Honolulu as-is, allowing you to bypass the complexities of repairs, staging, and listing on the open market. This means you can settle the estate faster, avoid ongoing property expenses, and receive a fair cash offer without the added stress of a drawn-out sale. Our streamlined process respects your timeline, providing certainty during a difficult period.
Facing foreclosure in Hawaii is a serious situation, but it's not without options. Hawaii's foreclosure laws involve both judicial and, in some cases, non-judicial processes. A judicial foreclosure typically takes 6-12 months, requiring court involvement, while a non-judicial foreclosure may have a notice period of 90 to 180 days after default before a sale can occur. During this period, mounting debt, legal fees, and the threat of public sale create immense pressure.
We specialize in helping Honolulu homeowners avoid the devastation of foreclosure. By offering a fast cash purchase, we can close quickly, often before your scheduled foreclosure sale date. This allows you to sell your property, pay off the mortgage, protect your credit, and retain equity, providing a clean slate without the public record of a foreclosure. Don't wait until it's too late; a quick cash sale can be your best defense.
Selling a home in Honolulu with unpermitted additions, code violations, or significant structural issues like termite damage and old galvanized plumbing can be a major hurdle. Traditional buyers often back out or demand costly repairs, and obtaining retrospective permits can be a bureaucratic nightmare with the City and County of Honolulu. These issues can drag down your property value and extend your time on the market indefinitely.
We remove these burdens entirely. We buy Honolulu properties exactly as-is, regardless of permit status, code violations, or the need for extensive repairs to address termite damage and old galvanized plumbing. You won't need to spend a single dollar on renovations, inspections, or dealing with local authorities. Our offer accounts for the current condition, providing a straightforward and stress-free selling experience.
| Repair Item | Estimated Cost Range | Our Offer (No Repairs Needed) |
|---|---|---|
| Termite damage and old galvanized plumbing | $10,000 - $30,000+ | Included (We handle it) |
| Roof Replacement | $15,000 - $40,000+ | Included (We handle it) |
| Foundation Repair | $20,000 - $70,000+ | Included (We handle it) |
Max's Insight: Honolulu code enforcement is strict about ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) regulations. We buy with the violation attached, saving you compliance headaches.
Honolulu, the vibrant capital of Hawaii, offers a diverse array of neighborhoods, each with its own character and community feel. From bustling urban centers to serene residential enclaves, the island of Oahu presents unique opportunities and challenges for homeowners. Understanding these local nuances is key to appreciating your property's value and potential for a quick sale. Whether your home is near a top-rated school zone or along a busy commute route, we assess every factor to provide you with a fair and accurate cash offer.
Nestled on the slopes Diamond Head, Kaimuki is a charming historic neighborhood known for its local eateries, boutique shops, and a strong sense of community. Homes here often feature classic plantation-style architecture, with many built in the mid-20th century. Its elevated position offers cooler breezes and some homes boast stunning ocean views. Kaimuki is sought after for its access to highly-rated public schools in East Honolulu areas and its convenient proximity to the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus and Downtown Honolulu, making commutes manageable. However, older homes may present common issues like termite damage, which we are prepared to handle.
The area around Kaimuki High School and Leonard's Bakery are local favorites, reflecting the neighborhood's unique blend of tradition and everyday life. While property values remain strong, selling an older home without updates can be a challenge in this competitive market. We provide a solution that avoids the need for costly renovations, allowing Kaimuki homeowners to sell quickly and efficiently.
Manoa Valley is characterized by lush greenery, frequent rain showers, and its iconic rainbow views. Home to the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus, it possesses an academic yet laid-back atmosphere. Properties here range from historic estates to more modest single-family homes, often with spacious lots. The valley's natural beauty comes with considerations such as higher humidity, which can contribute to wood rot or termite damage in older structures, and potential concerns regarding Zone AE flood areas closer to streams.
Residents enjoy a quieter lifestyle while still being a short drive from Downtown Honolulu. The scenic beauty and academic environment make Manoa highly desirable, but the maintenance of older homes in a moist climate can be significant. If you're looking to sell a Manoa property without undertaking extensive repairs or managing specific environmental factors, our cash offer process can simplify your transition, allowing you to move forward without delay.
Kalihi, one of Honolulu's older and more densely populated neighborhoods (encompassing parts of 96819), is a vibrant multicultural area known for its local businesses, food scene, and historical roots. Homes here are typically older, reflecting the island's early development, often featuring Mid-century Ranch or multi-family configurations. The convenience to Downtown Honolulu and major thoroughfares like the H-1 Freeway makes it attractive for those seeking accessibility.
However, older housing stock in Kalihi frequently comes with common issues like old galvanized plumbing or the need for general modernization. Navigating permit challenges for past renovations can also be a concern, particularly with local code enforcement. We recognize the inherent value in Kalihi properties despite these factors. Our direct buying approach means you won't need to invest in pre-sale repairs or grapple with complex property histories, offering a straightforward path to sale.
Hawaii Kai, located on the southeastern coast of Oahu, is a master-planned community renowned for its marina-front homes, stunning ocean views, and outdoor recreational opportunities. While newer than some other Honolulu neighborhoods, it still features homes from various eras, including more modern interpretations of island living. The area offers excellent access to outdoor activities and is popular with families, linking to desirable schools.
The allure of waterfront living in Hawaii Kai also brings considerations such as flood zones (many areas are Zone AE) and the ongoing maintenance associated with coastal properties. For homeowners looking to sell efficiently, particularly those concerned with the costs of maintaining a premium property or navigating specific environmental regulations, a cash offer can be an appealing alternative to the traditional market. We provide a swift, transparent process, allowing Hawaii Kai residents to transition without the typical selling complexities.

Absolutely. We buy homes in all FEMA flood zones, including Zone AE. Living in a flood-prone area can make selling traditionally difficult, but we specialize in these situations. You won't need to worry about flood insurance complications or repairs; we buy your property as-is, even with its flood zone designation.
