As a special service to our valued Active Military and Veterans, we would like provide you with our “VA Appreciation” program as our way of thanking you for your service and time. This can be applied toward any Real Estate related fees that are typically paid by the buying or selling party (i.e home inspection, title/escrow fee’s, buying points on your mortgage, or putting it towards your total closing cost.)
Q: Does getting the Appreciation Program rebate mean I have to find the house myself?
A: Absolutely not, we are a full service Oahu real estate team of our company. We’ll help you find a home, answer any questions that you may have, provide comparable market data for you to make an informed decision, submit an offer, negotiate the contract on your behalf, and see the process all the way through from the inspections to closing.
Q: How much will my Appreciation Program rebate be?
A: We rebate 20% of the gross commission paid to the buyer’s brokerage, including any incentives or bonuses. This ultimately comes out to be thousands of dollars saved out of your pockets. We do all of the work and inform Escrow/Lender that we will be offering this credit to your family. This credit will show up on the “Final Settlement Statement” right before you sign your closing docs.
Q: What happens if I do not have any closing costs?
A: We can use our rebate to be applied towards other costs such as the VA funding fee (if applicable) or apply it towards purchasing “points” on your mortgage to help lower your interest rate.
Q: When will I get my credits from the Appreciation Program?
A: At the time of closing and it will be clearly indicated on the closing statement prepared by the Escrow and Title Company. If you choose to use your rebate to buy points on your mortgage for a lower interest rate, please let us know and we will work with the lender to make sure these changes are made before the final loan approval.
Q: How can you afford to offer this Appreciation Program when most other agents/brokers won’t?
A: As a top performing Real Estate team in Hawaii, we are able to make the decisions needed to ultimately best service our client’s. Real Estate agents in Hawaii typically pay 20%-50% back to their brokerage. Instead, we give that 20% to you as our way of saying thank you for your service and for trusting Hawaii Homes Now with your Real Estate goals.
Q: If I want to use you to buy or sell a home using the Appreciation Program, what are my next steps?
A: Contact us however it is convenient for you. Let us know that you have decided to team up with us in your Real Estate search and we’ll make sure our admin makes the changes to your file to reflect our Buyers Rebate Program.
