Here in Hawai'i viewing homes listed on the market is very different from viewing homes on the mainland. In Hawai'i, more specifically when viewing homes for sale on Maui, it is customary for the Seller's Realtor® to be present. Having their agent available during showings provides the Seller with a sense of security in knowing that their possessions are being watched, the house is properly locked up and the lights are turned off when the showing is finished. It is also valuable for the Seller's Realtor® to be on hand to share the details about the home and answer any questions the Buyer may have about the property and surrounding area. Keep in mind that this custom involves your Maui Realtor® calling a day or two in advance and setting up appointments with several listing agents. Several showings means scheduling back-to-back appointments and keeping on schedule, as there will most likely be another Seller's Realtor® waiting for you down the road.
Typically, the only time homes on Maui are on a lock box is when the house is vacant. When selling your home, it's important to work with a seasoned Realtor® and to ask how the showings on your home will be handled.
