There are a lot of real estate agents to choose from in Hawaii. So, how can you be sure that you’re getting the best team to fit your needs as a home seller? Try asking these ten questions to a Realtor to find out whether he/she is worth their mettle.

1. How many homes have you sold in the last 12 months? If you were needing brain surgery, I’m sure you would want a brain surgeon that has performed a lot of procedures and done them successfully. Remember to ask them how many homes they have PERSONALLY sold. Realtors may borrow credibility from the numbers that their brokerage sold - heck, even we did that in the beginning. We sold 137 homes in 2015.

2. Are you a full-time Realtor? Over half of the licensed Realtors in Hawaii do not sell any homes in a one year period, and the other half only sell a handful of homes. All of our licensed team members are full-time Realtors - it's a very demanding industry that requires one's full attention to provide the high level of service that every homeowner deserves.

3. What is your marketing budget per month? The average agent spends less than a car payment. A Realtor’s marketing budget plays a direct role in the amount of exposure they provide for your home. More exposure usually translates into higher offers. Again, make sure the answer you get is for their personal marketing budget and not their brokerage's budget. We spend about $20,000 a month on marketing.

4. Will you promote my listing on the radio? We have had Hawaii’s only one-hour real estate radio show for three years. We just aired our 223rd show! Our listener’s average household income is in the $100,000 range, and we know a lot of Realtors listen in - and they may have a buyer for your home!

5. Have you written a real estate book? The reason we wrote one was that we found that it would be a helpful resource for both buyers and sellers in Hawaii. Click here to see a video about our real estate book.

6. Will you produce a professional video tour of my home and not a slide show? Did you know that 99% of consumers would prefer to see a video? Unfortunately, very few Realtors will produce one for their listing. Realize there is a difference between a video tour that walks you through the home and gives you a feel for the floor plan and how different rooms flow through the home. Taking the same static photos, putting them into a slide show, and adding some musics does not give one an idea of how the home is laid out. Once you have a real video tour done of your home you will never go back to slideshows. To watch one of our tours click here!

7. Do you have a communication guarantee? The number one complaint that consumers have when working with a Realtor is that they never hear from their Realtor once the home is listed. We certainly understand the frustration and take a more proactive approach to communication with our clients. We will call you every Monday to let you know what is going on with your listing. Even if there is nothing to report, we will check in with you to see if you have any questions or concerns - no chasing us down.

8. Do you have an Easy-Exit Listing Agreement? Some Realtors may not be so eager to let you out of a listing agreement, especially if they are only selling a few homes a year. We believe that if we are not doing everything we told you we would - you can fire us and pay nothing - no further obligation!

9. Do you have a professional showing service? We use a professional showing service that agents can get a hold of 7 days a week from 6AM to 7PM. Also, they are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for online request. The showing service also requests a survey from the visiting agent and the results are shared real time with our sellers. The service also verifies that the agent is in fact a Realtor and not someone trying to get into your home.

10. Do you have a Guaranteed Sale Program? Yes. If a Realtor is confident in their ability to sell your home, they should be equally confident in buying it if they don’t. We would be glad to sit down with any homeowner to go over the details of this program. It’s our way of saying we are confident that we can get your home sold for the most amount of money in the shortest period of time.

These ten questions should set you off on the right foot when you’re in search of a quality Realtor in Hawaii. Please don’t hesitate to ask us these questions - we would be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Aloha!

Team Lally Testimonials

Genette - "We bought one house and sold that with them, and then bought the current house that we're in, and now we're selling this one. We always had a good experience, so when it came time to sell this one, really we didn't give it a second thought. We just called Ray Wolmers, who we've worked with before, and just got him on board right away. It just seems like with everything they handle every detail, and I love the "team" concept; that there's always somebody who handles everything. They never miss a detail. We did have one instance with our original house where we had the termite inspection, and they actually found termites. We had to have the house tented as that was just one of those where I was so glad they handled all the details for us and got it taken care of. They got it scheduled when we needed it scheduled and found a good price for it. It was just amazing. I wouldn't even consider another realtor here in Hawaii, because they handle everything and they're very professional. They just have always taken care of everything."

Maurice - "My results were very positive. Team Lally was very efficient and always kept me informed during every step of the process. I was never left in the dark wondering what was going on. She worked in the middle between myself and the escrow company or the lender and really just was my point of contact. She would explain any questions I had about the paperwork and kept me informed of what they needed from me. They really did a great job and I appreciated everything they did! "

Peter - "I had been looking at the search function on their website and then Cherie got in touch with me. We started scheduling houses to look at and as soon as I found anything I liked, she would schedule it immediately. She was always able to meet my schedule and willing to drive all over this island to find my house. The whole process went very smoothly! "

Paul - "Team Lally was really helpful and great to work with! They worked to my needs in what I was looking for and were very good at identifying houses that would be a good fit for us. Cherie, our agent was very patient and kept the same enthusiasm from the day I met her through the very last house we ended up purchasing. It was like a breath of fresh air with her professionalism throughout the entire process."

Shawn - "One person that really stood out to us during the whole process was Keli’i. It’s definitely a seller’s market here in Hawaii so houses are on and off the market very quickly. We expressed our frustrations about that with him and that night he was emailing us with prospective houses and times we could go look at them. He really took the initiative and reached out to us. I would recommend Team Lally fully."

Eric - "We had good results when we worked with Team Lally. Our first buyer unfortunately bailed out but it wasn’t for a lack of trying from Team Lally. They put in a lot of effort with their marketing and the exposure of the property. It was all great and they had really good customer service! "

Ryan - "I’ve worked with Team Lally twice now. I’m in the military and was stationed in Hawaii so I reached out to Team Lally to help me buy a home. They were helpful and we found a place quickly that I was happy with. After a few years I had to move for the military and plenty of times Adrienne was able to step in and helped me out when I needed someone to watch the house or find a renter. I didn’t want to rent it because I was coming back maybe 5 months later so Adrienne went out of her way to find someone that was trustworthy to stay there to watch my house and my dog until I came back. They were very understanding of my needs and able to find exactly what they could do to help me. "

Benito -"We were able to get into a house quickly, and it was a pleasant experience. Our Realtor, Kailyn, was constantly checking up with us. When we started to close, she made sure everything was done on time. On top of that, after we had moved in, the marketing manager came to the house to congratulate us. He brought us some gifts, too. I thought that was really great!"

Phil -"We bought a home and sold a home with them. Both experiences were excellent. They helped us with everything we didn’t understand. When I was looking to purchase a home, Adrienne herself picked me up and drove me around to look at homes. She was at our call whenever we wanted to look at a home!"

Brendan -"They were phenomenal! They were very quick to respond to all my phone calls and emails. They gave me great guidance on how to get the house prepped for the open house. We had an offer the first day, and a second offer the next day, and the house pretty much sold itself after that! Alesia Borja was great in the closing process. I had lots of questions because there were so many details that needed to be taken care of in order to close on time. She responded quickly and made lots of phone calls after hours in order to make sure the house closed on time!"

Geri -"I really enjoyed them helping me. We had a lot of paperwork going on at once, because we were selling a condo, purchasing a house, and doing the 1031 Exchange. They really helped out. I was in California, so there was a three hour time difference. I had a lot of questions, and some were pretty early in the morning for them, but they always got back to me promptly. When we were getting ready to sign the final papers, I noticed that the 1031 Exchange wasn’t on there. I got in touch with Alesia from Team Lally, and she helped me out. I enjoyed working with them, and I would do it again!"
