The #1 Buyer's Team on Oahu

We give you 20% of our commission. You do not have to fill out any paperwork.

Your part of our commission is put on your settlement statement as a credit towards your closing costs.

For example, with a property price of $1,000,000, we would give you $6,000.

We gave over 1/4 million to buyers in the last 2 years.

In 2009 we represented more Buyers than any other team or agent on Oahu.

Our experience is crucial when suggesting additional homes to view, analyzing comparables, negotiating the best price, and preventing problems during escrow.

Many times we will recommend a home the buyer did not know about and that ends up being the home they buy.

Comments about OahuRE

" I really like your website and have spent hours going through the listings. You have done a great job at putting that together. Thank you for all your help."

"We love your website and have found it to be one of the best real estate sites we have ever used."

"thank you...this is awesome. I just got my first notification today. I love it. I pray that a home that meets my needs will become available."

"I just wanted to compliment you on your fantastic real estate website. Well done. It's been a big help!"

"You have a link on OahuRE that asks for ways to improve the website. My response is leave it alone… it’s better than perfect."

"Thank you sooo much for this information. As a concerned Mortgage Broker on a constant quest to make sure that people are being given the absolute best possible rate and fees I really was impressed when I ran across this information you posted while entering my own FSBO. My husband is an Appraiser and he too is consistently disappointed at the inflated prices that flippers offer their properties while stating “someone will pay” when in fact nothing has been done but a slap of paint over termite eaten areas… it simply takes advantage of the unknowing… goodness, I (we) could go on… I just wanted to send an Aloha and thank you again. I will be referring your website to many of those that I am in contact with…."

"My mom and I have been watching your site. We REALLY appreciate the effort and the risk you've taken to crack open the mysterious real estate market. You provide all the data we like to see. She is thinking about moving here, and we bought our first home about 8 months ago. If we move in about 5 yrs we'll be utilizing you for sure!"

"Your web site is unbelievable! I'm preparing to purchase a condo for my daughter (she's presently renting). Your site is very complete - sort parameters, commuting, goggle map, pics, comparisons. These are all the item that are important to narrow our search and it's apparent you fully understand the business from the consumers viewpoint. Thank you for the time and effort you put into such a wonderfully interactive site."

"I am appalled to hear you were fined for showing too much information on your web site. I did not find your web site until after we had purchased two properties in Hawaii. We just have a quarter acre on the Big Island and a small condo in The Rosalei. I don't remember how I found your web site but I refer to it each time I want information on properties there on Oahu. You have the very best real estate site!

I wish you luck and promise I will contact you if I am lucky enough to buy an additional property in Waikiki."

"Hey Mr. Kaufman, just wanted to let you know I am very thankful for this wonderful website. I spent three and a half years in Hawaii and have now been away for almost a year now. It is now one of my goals to someday own real estate in Hawaii, it seemed right as I was deciding that in my mind, your website popped up.

I have tried learning about real estate for a little while now, and although I feel I have the fundamentals I still felt overwhelmed by all the data there is to collect. Your website brings all sorts of resources right to people's fingertips.

One of my absolute favorite features is the google map, it makes things so incredibly easy. Your website will undoubtedly be the tool that will help me find my dream home on Oahu......(those ones around Tantalus are eye catching)

In the words of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs...."this is insanely great"

Be well!"

"Dear Bryn and Wanida...Sorry to learn of the fines imposed by the Honolulu Board of Realtors. Without a doubt your informative web site is the best real estate site that I have ever visited. The objective information that you provide to real estate consumers is truly to be applauded. The old adage states that knowledge is power, and the in-depth research that you provide is of tremendous value to everyone who is in the market for a home on Oahu. Thanks for all of your invaluable hard work."

"I just wanted to say thanks for the awesome website, it is by far the best RE website I have come across, I really appreciate your effort to offer this info........and for free!"

"I love the entrepreneurial spirit. If OahuRe.com wasn't superior to anything out there no one would be complaining. My guess is realtors are in their office looking at your site when the boss isn't around :)"

"I know you have heard it many times already, but your website is the bomb. Keep up the killer work. Naysayers are wrong. You are completely helping the local RE market. More info leads to more interest and activity. Best of luck to you. You are pioneers."

"You guys have put together the best real estate search site I have ever seen. I’ll bet the MLS is trying to fine you! It has been invaluable in our home search. Great work and keep it up."

"There will always be a need for a savvy, well-connected agent to assist in the process of buying or selling a home. What many consumers need is not someone to search the listings for them in the traditional sense, but rather someone to bring the skills, contacts, and perspective to the table in order to facilitate the buying/selling process."

"Your website is awesome! Keep it up!! The board of realtors are being ridiculous!! Your website is better than that other MLS one…"

"Just wanted to drop a note letting you know how wonderful this site is. it is packed with so much information--which typically is hidden by other realtors. i appreciate the openness and look forward to working with you when the time is right to purchase a second home."

"First of all, I just wanted to tell you that your website is awesome. You make it absolutely effortless to search for homes in Hawaii. Especially for people like me who do not live there."

"I was unaware of your website until a friend told me about it yesterday..it's just plain fantastic..thanks."

"I love the website. It's truly helpful for the prospective buyer. It gives all the info I need so that I can view the comparables! If it weren't for you and your site, buyers would be taken to the cleaners!"

"You have a great site --I sure wish you did ALL OF THE ISLANDS! I live over here in the Big Island (Kona) and wish there was a section on your site for other islands. Maybe someday, huh?"

"I was "sent" to your article in PBN and I want to say that the whole thing is a shame, and a sham!!! I, for one, have so appreciated the info available on your site, if for no other reason than to see how the market is going, particullarly in my area. Most of us can ultimately do nothing without a realtor, or two, so keeping "ownership" would not seem to be too much of a problem, all your web site means is better educated buyers and sellers."

"I want to thank you for your web site and tell you that you are appreciated! I must admit I've been afraid to tell many people in the fear that it might go away, I guess I was right! I do, and will, however, tell people about you all. Thanks again."

"The new email format ROCKS. No more trying to figure out what has changed in the listing to trigger the notification and having to dive through extra screens to get the info you want.
Way to go."

"I just wanted to make a few comments about your website. I'm sure you get comments often but just wanted to pass mine on. I am a computer person myself and can really appreciate the work that you have put into designing your webpages and your DB queries to give meaningful, easy to use, data. It really makes it easy to see what is available in the different areas of the island without having to rely on speaking with a realtor. I don't want to waste anybodies time since I don't really know how serious I am about buying a new house so it just works out great for me to be able to browse everything. My wife and I are somewhat interested in buying over the next couple of years and aren't in a hurry and are more looking for the "perfect" house rather than needing to find a house to move into immediately. Anyway, your site is perfect for us. Great Job and thanks!"

"I just wanted to say THANKS! for your pioneering efforts to let the public view MLS information on your website www.oahure.com. Information is power and the realtor monopoly is still trying to deny public access, but your efforts are a huge benefit to people interested in real estate. If only the Realtors could understand that more information helps smart buyers make better informed decisions. (and maybe helps them avoid some lawsuits). Mahalo nui loa!"

"Bryn, thank you so much for your website.  Your site has made me a much more knowledgeable and informed buyer and seller of real estate.  Finally, I have the tools to make me more realistic and objective in the real estate marketplace.  I hope your marketing concept spreads to more locations."

"Thanks for making your sevice available. I felt you offered a very professional and efficient process to home selling/buying."

"I missed that. Every day almost, I notice inhancements in your web site. You are probably tired of hearing this ---but your Oahure site is more informative than any I have seen---anywhere, and it gets better all the time--if that were possible."

"Thank you for your time, and your website is hands down the best anywhere!"

"Whatever we decide to do, I will certainly go through you. Your website is an incredible resource for information. More than I've ever seen anywhere, from Texas to Connecticut to California. I'm glad that I found it."

"Thanks for your great work. We chose the right agents at the right time with the right contacts. We consider ourselves fortunate to have sold so quickly in a slowing market. Also thanks for your website. It was useful before we met you and will be very helpful to us in the future as we watch the market to see when it's the right time to buy."

"Thank you Bryn for ALL of your help. You have been wonderful."

"I mentioned your site to one of the housing blogs that I read and the response is "it's awesome". One reader really likes the flippers section since he is planning to move to Hawaii."

"Now that's a great site! The best one on the market, no kidding."

"Your website not only very informative but take an honest stand about the housing market in Hawaii. You displays the facts and we make our own decisions. There are very few reliable sources today where we can get an honest opinion."

"You have created a tool for Hawaii that will change real estate here forever. I have spent so much time finding permit history ,sales history etc in the past that every-time I use oahure.com shake my head and smile ...."

"I just had to write to thank you and say what a great site you have - As a licensed contractor/broker here in Oregon, I applaud your altruism and great attitude regarding information sharing."

"Your website is amazing and it provides so much information and cross references. Thank you so much for all of the hard work that went into setting up this website that, again, provides so much information to the public."

"I mentioned your site to one of the housing blogs that I read and the response is "it's awesome". One reader really likes the flippers section since he is planning to move to Hawaii. I hope that I did not create too much traffic on your site."

"I also wish to thank you for this wonderful informational tool that you are sharing with the public. The realtors I've worked with made such a big deal about revealing the information that you make readily available."

"Thank you so much for helping to take the "mystery" and B.S. out of hawaii real estate!!! Is it true that the realtors assoc. wants you to limit our access?"

"I just wanted to say ---great job with your site. I live in Portland, OR and have bought two condos in the last six months. We already had a broker (or I would have given you the business), but your site allowed me to search for exactly what I wanted. Our broker sent us listings to see, but unless you personally are searching the database, ones needs are often lost in translation. I knew what I wanted and looked at a thousand or more units and found the right ones. Our broker is very good, but didn't uncover what we bought---we did through your site."

"Your site is terrific, definitely the best for Oahu RE."

"I love your site. It is an invaluable resource and I recommend it to friends all the time."

Client Comments

"I am a mortgage specialist and I just discovered your OahuRE.com and it is AWESOME! Thank you for developing the most user friendly and the most informative site regarding Oahu Real Estate. I will definitely recommend this site to my clients."

"I want to thank you for putting together the best real estate website I have ever used. It has made me an informed buyer The wealth of information you have pulled together is simply unbeatable."

"The internet has changed business processes in many fields and real estate is no exception. Knowledgeable consumers scare the Honolulu Board. If they think that by imposing fines or restrictions on you they will stop the spread of information they are mistaken. They would do well to encourage and work with, rather than against, this development."

"Your site is one of the best not only in Hawaii but probably the whole USA. It's been very useful since I'm planning to buy a home again. But now, I could not believe that the Honolulu Board of Realtors (HBR) restricts you from providing "true" data and doing good service to the citizens of Hawaii."

"Just to let you know I love your website, I like fact that your listing are updated, shows when the listing started and how long its been for sale, pictures of it too. No really I like everything about it."

"I find your website one of the most, if not, THE most informative in the real estate market. – including Miami & Las Vegas!"

"Thank you for your detailed information. Your website is what i was looking for. It is absolutely THE BEST!"

"I have signed up for for you watch list and I am thoroughly impressed. I presently do not have a realtor as yet, but when I (we) really do zero in on some properties, we will be asking you to represent us. Your site is the most thorough and complete as I have ever seen and I've been searching for the past two years. Thanks you for your service."

"I want to say that you folks have done a great job with this website. All the information is at consumer's finger tips. With an easy navigation, you have made it extremely accessable for anyone to check listings in Hawaii. Best of luck!!!"

"A friend of mine showed me your site about two months ago. It is amazing and must have taken a lot of time to create... I'm sure it takes an equal amount of time to maintain. Good luck with your dialogue with the Board of Realtors and know that you have helped (and are helping) a lot of people wade through the mire of Hawaii realty!"

"Just wanted to compliment you on creating a great site that is informative and useful. It is clear from using the site that you put a great amount of effort and thought into it. Good luck in your fight with the Honolulu Board of Realtors. If I should buy another piece of property in Oahu in the future, it will be your site that has decided what Realtor I would use."

 

 
Comments about OahuRE

"Love your site…it’s easy to navigate and offers concise information. I use it all the time to find out what’s going on in the market place. My house is for sale and I use your site to see if I’m competitive and what I can afford to buy."

"Hi, I live on Maui but, just wanted to tell you what a great web site you have !!!!! All the information is unbelievable & so well thought out---The MLS online search is a wonderful tool for potential clients as they can sit at home & see photo's get all the details & then make contacts----Good job !!!"

"fantastic website...best real estate site i have been on in hawaii...very informative...thanks"

"I am not a serious buyer at the moment, but I must tell you that at all the realtor website's I have ever visited by individual agents, yours is by far the best I have ever seen. Thank you for providing such an outstanding website."

"I visit your site daily to see how the real estate market is doing. It is a great place to visit... it is just like a one stop shop!"

"Love your site. Fantastic job (and this from a fellow programmer!)"

"I just found it a couple of hours ago, but compared to every website with RE info, yours is by far the best, I can see why the RE association doesn't like you folks sharing this, it is so complete that it levels the playing field for us non agents."

"I have recently began looking for property on Oahu and have just discovered your page. It is the most useful resource I have found to date and as a prospective home buyer, I cant believe the absurdity of an association penalizing you for performing an outstanding service to the community. That is just ridicules. Keep up the good work and thanks."

"I am a realtor in Vancouver BC and I love your website and I think you should keep up the great job you're doing by providing us with information about real estate in Hawaii."

"It has been my pleasure as well! I thought buying a home at a distance like this would be a nightmare. It's been a dream. No stress at all. If there were questions, you were right there with an answer and dealt fabulously with the sellers. It really put my mind at ease."

"The new email format ROCKS. No more trying to figure out what has changed in the listing to trigger the notification and having to dive through extra screens to get the info you want.
Way to go."

"I stumbled upon your website while searching craigslist. Yours is a GREAT website. I have been following the market on the mainland and sold my house 2 months ago and made a hefty profit. With two kids and not much saved for college or retirement, I thought this was a good move; hoping the market in Hawaii would go down so my husband and I could buy once again. I have met so many BS realtors, and their advice is so off I can't believe it. I really love your website, I have shared it with my friends and they love it as well. I plan to wait it out, thanks for providing people in Hawaii a truly INFORMATIVE website."

"Good morning the best website by far retired military looking to buy came across your website, LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE IT!"

"I know I don’t need to say it but your site is a breath of fresh air. My wife and I can only dream of owning a place right now, but your site has allowed us add a bit of reality to that dream. Keep on trucking and tell the HBR to concentrate on helping the little guy instead of kicking him around."

"I just found it a couple of hours ago, but compared to every website with RE info, yours is by far the best, I can see why the RE association doesn't like you folks sharing this, it is so complete that it levels the playing field for us non agents."

"Your site is very helpful. I believe that making MLS info avaliable to potential buyers is beneficial to everyone, regardless of what the MLS may say....."

"Thank you. Your continuing efforts and comprehensive web site is a much needed community service. You have a given the average citizen empowerment through the education of choice. We no longer are at the whims of greedy realtors who love to hear the sound of their own flatulence."

"Hi...I am in New Mexico and considering looking to invest in Hawaii in the very near future... we are small business owners and visit your paradise at least twice a year...we have just started looking for both homes and a small business...we think your site is awesome! to get fined for too much info is a bit over the top, as yours is the main site we are using now that we discovered it on craigslist!...we will also be contacting you when we find something that seems to suit us...just wanted to let you know that I tell anyone interested in Hawaiian properties about it, keep up the great work!..."

"I've been using your website for years now. It has been an absolute godsend in a Hawaii real estate world where potential buyers were often intentionally left in the dark for so many shady reasons. Thanks so much for your hard work and fearlessness."

"OahuRE is a terrific site and very resourceful. Keep up the great work."

Just wanted to say thanks for the great job with the mobile web page. I've been using the great MLS search for a while and the mobile page is even greater. I know your husband was in the web business before so please tell him "great job!"

"I have been watching my uncles condo listed on your website for a few weeks, I have to say I am sooooo impressed by this site, it is the most informative and impressive website. Layers and layers of great info, I just had to send my compliments!!!"

"We used your site to find our house last year.  Used your suggested technique to get the seller to pay 2 points and get our interest rate down to 5.5.  The lender paid a bunch of other costs and we used the VA for a nothing down loan.  We put down $500 earnest money and got about half of it back at closing.  Thanks for the help.  Your site was what we needed after looking for about 4 years with no savings and the prices just barely out of reach."

"Forget that PBN article! They have it all backwards! You and your wife are doing buyers AND REALTORS, your competitors by the way,a huge service. They should be thanking you!!! Your website is just completely and totally awesome...its better than all the other "home" shopping sites by far! Just wanted to say keep doing what you are doing---and I will continue to tell all my friends about OAHU RE!!!!"

"Great site! By far the best we have seen. My wife finds it a bit counter-intuitive sometimes but loves it anyway. In contrast, I find it very intuitive and so must think like your site designer. We will both be using the site religiously prior to our Q1 2009 arrival in O'ahu. Aloha and thank you!"

"Your site is the best structured Real Estate site in whole Hawaii. Have you thought about expanding this to other states/country's and other adding other languages?"

"Great Site...Finally the Hawaii MLS data becomes useful instead of protected like Fort Knox."

"Dear Bryn,
I want to compliment you on how fabulous and useful your website is. I'm a first time home buyer searching for a house with help from my realtor. I discovered your website about 2 weeks ago after reading the article about you in the Honolulu Business magazine. I love how easy it is to access so much information in one website."

"Absolutely fantastic site. You provide a tremendous resource to buyers, sellers, and the real estate community of Oahu, keep up the great work!"

"Bryn, I absolutely love your website. I was first licensed here in 1990 and it wonderful to finally see a real estate website built by a programmer, so I can stop cursing the crap out of the old fashioned one offered by HBR. I worked for Homeseekers.com as QA Tech Specialist back in 2000-1 so appreciate it very much."

"By the way, I’ve emailed your site to numerous friends for them to use. To me, the ultimate compliment to your website was learning that you were fined by fellow realtors for the information you share. Thanks to your website I am sometimes a step ahead of my own realtor. Mahalo again for creating such a helpful website."

"Sounds great. You are the most responsive company in implementing suggestions that i have and probably will ever see. Keep up the great work. You're site is such an invaluable tool for local real estate. Have you thought of implementing something around the rental market?"

"Just learned that you have been fined for providing too much information to the general public - yet we claim to be a democratic country. We absolutely love your site for the fact that it is educational. Let's face it - the market of professioanls out there need to be very competitive and some survive by lies and deceits. We were presented with a property that "just came on the market on its second day" and of course it was presented to us as a "find" and a "secret-not-yet-out-too-long". Come to find out from your site, the property was a "hard-sell" and it was actually on the market for quite some time - just that its most recent listing had just expired and it was relisted again."

Thank you for your site, it has made investing in real estate fair to the public. You never know, you might have single-handedly saved the real estate market on Oahu from going through an "Enron" type scandal. Thanks for being loyal to your profession."

"I just wanted to tell you what an awesome job your doing with your site. It is the BEST I have ever seen. Don't let the Honolulu Board of Realtors push you around. They are just angry because buyers are now able to tell which Realtors tell buyers the truth and which ones don't."

"Sorry to hear about the fine for posting "too much" information on your website. I think you have the right idea and the Oahu realtor organization is living life in the slow lane. I heard they turned down Google's offer to put their MLS on the Google site. Their loss."

"Just to let you know I love your website, I like fact that your listing are updated, shows when the listing started and how long its been for sale, pictures of it too. No really I like everything about it."

"Just a note to thank you so much for both of your websites. As a buyer, it makes the decision process lightning fast when you have access to all the information that is out there. Having access to the information won't take the place of using a realtor, you still need additional knowledge that only a realtor has through years of experience. This will actually make it easier for the realtor because it allows the buyer do do their homework on CMA's, taxes, etc. I'm referring folks to you and your website for future sales. Thanks for allowing buyers and sellers to see the total picture and be informed."

"This is the best realtor website on the internet. Wonder if you would do me a big favor. My son-in-law who is a realtor in Oregon would like me to design a website like yours. Can you tell me who is your web designer so that I can contact him/her to see what program he/she uses to build this website. Thanks"
