Enjoy Crystal Clear Large HD Photos
Great photos are the #1 thing all buyers want to see. The large HD photo below is the size we show on our website. Below the large HD photo, the photo size is displayed from another popular website.
Even on a mobile phone, you can see a vast difference in quality when pinching out to zoom in on the photo.
Viewing large HD photos lets you see details you do not notice with smaller images.
Also, we never resize images like other sites. Resizing makes the photos blurry, and hard to see details. Instead, we always show pictures at their original size, so they are always crystal clear.
Notice on the popular website below the image is much smaller, and they even crop part of the photo, so you can't read the text at the top.

Our Raving Fans United to Prevent Listings From Being Hidden
When the Board of Realtors told OahuRE.com to hide all pending, withdrawn, and expired listings, we asked our raving fans for help.
They responded and sent a strong message to the Board through 300+ emails, 280+ Facebook comments, and 1,100 likes on our Facebook post.
The Board of Realtors then reversed their decision and now allows OahuRE.com to show all listings.
We want to say "Thank You!" to our raving fans for supporting OahuRE.com and making sure buyers and sellers continue to have access to all listings.

No Hidden or Disappearing Listings
On other websites, you might notice homes you are interested in disappearing. This is because they do not show you all the status options.
For example, Zillow and Trulia do not show In Escrow Not Showing and Withdrawn. If a home goes into one of those status options, it simply disappears from their site. We show you everything, so nothing disappears, and you can get a complete set of comparables with nothing missing.
Another example, as of June 2017, HiCentral was showing 23,138 listings compared to 254,542 listings we are showing. This is because we do not hide listings.

Buyers and Sellers Must Know the Comparables
Having good comparables is one of the most critical pieces of information a buyer or seller needs. Without good comparables, sellers might price their home wrong and see their property not sell, or price too low and see it sell for less than they could have received. A buyer without good comparables might be paying too much for a property.
We provide a range of options as shown below to give you good comparables with only one click. On our website, the computer does the hard work for you by analyzing various search options and coming up with the best comparables available.

Color Coding to Easily Know Property Status
Active 10 Days or Less on Market. Only the status of "Active" is available for sale. If it is not Active, you might want to add it to your Watch List to see if it becomes Active again. |
Active 11 Days or More on Market. |
In Escrow Showing. The property is in escrow, and they are still showing and looking for a backup offer. |
In Escrow Not Showing. The property is in escrow, and they are not showing the property anymore. Sometimes agents wait until a property is close to closing to change it to In Escrow Not Showing. Some sellers prefer not to keep showing as soon as they go into escrow, so this status is added immediately. |
Sold The property was sold and is now a good comparable sale. |
Withdrawn or Expired. All Withdrawn and Expired statuses are not available but check the history to see if it was listed under a new MLS#. Withdrawn or Expired properties can be added to your Watch List by TMK# to know when it is for sale again. |

Counter and Multiple Offer Calculator
One of the biggest challenges buyers face is getting their offer accepted, especially if there are multiple offers or you receive a counteroffer. This calculator will help you see how much you will pay per day to increase your offer.
Many people think in terms of the total dollar amount of the increase, but assuming you are getting a loan, the change to your payment can be nominal. For example, at a 4.5% interest rate, increasing your offer by $5,000 adds less than $1 dollar per day to your loan payment. It is critical to have this information easily available to help in your decision-making process.

Mortgage Savings Calculator
Our Mortgage Savings Calculator is unique in that it gives you the total interest paid and how much interest you can save if you pay extra each month. We also show you interest saved for 5, 10, 15 years, etc., using an amortization table. We do this because we know not everyone will stay in their home for 30 years.
While most buyers diligently negotiate the purchase price, they forget that a much larger expense is the interest paid on your loan. For example, a property that you buy at $500,000 with 20% down ends up costing an additional $329,627 in interest over the course of a 30-year loan, assuming a 4.5% interest rate.
While you might be able to cut $5,000 off the price of the property during negotiations, you have a much bigger opportunity to save money by reducing your total interest paid. Putting only $100 per month extra would save you $35,400.
