The Most Innovative, World-Class Marketing & Service.
Sell Your Oahu Real Estate With Great Results and Less Hassle
THE A-TEAM OAHU BROKERS ARE EXPERTS IN THE 4 “P”S OF HOME SELLING
PROPER PRICING
We frequently sell properties for prices higher than our clients thought possible and in a shorter time period than the neighborhood average. We owe these results to proper pricing (along with the other 3 Ps). However, selling quickly is not always the goal, sometimes it makes more sense to price higher and practice patience. Balancing these competing desires is an art that the realtors on the A-Team have mastered. We are not only experience-driven, from having lived and worked on Oahu for decades and from having personally viewed thousands of properties during that time period; we are also data-driven and have cutting-edge Compass technology backing our price recommendations.
PROFESSIONAL MARKETING
We use the highest quality professional photography and most innovative marketing, and we are experts in putting your home in the best light possible. Marketing may include HD video, MatterPort virtual tours, custom websites, custom signage, social media marketing, and print advertisements. The COMPASS platform also provides us with professionally-designed brochures, postcards, digital advertisements, and social media posts, to ensure an attractive and consistent property and brand image.
PHYSICAL PRESENCE
We answer our phones, we make ourselves available to both our clients and Buyers, we appear in person at showings, and we attend inspections and appraisals. This attribute of our service cannot be under-valued. A property cannot be sold if it cannot be seen, upon demand, at a Buyer’s convenience. And a lockbox thrown on the property is no substitute for an in-person showing, explaining the features of a home or pointing out items that a Buyer could easily miss. It’s difficult to judge the seriousness of a Buyer if a realtor does not meet the Buyer in person. It’s also difficult to fully understand inspection issues, if a realtor has not attended the inspection. A Buyer at an inspection may also think there is an issue where there is not (e.g., a light not working versus not being able to find the switch, etc.). Many issues can be more easily resolved with in-person communication. The personal service and presence of a listing realtor is invaluable to a transaction.

PRISTINE PREPARATION
In addition to the items above, we can help coordinate the preparation of your home for sale. Obviously, pristine homes fetch the highest prices. Our assistance may include coordination of minor remodels, repairs, cleaning, and maintenance, as well as beautiful home staging. Our goal is to help your home really shine and to present it in its best light. Often, the homes we list turn out so beautiful that sellers almost don’t want to sell! And there’s more …
A-TEAM OAHU clients also have access to the exclusive COMPASS CONCIERGE program which provides Sellers with an interest-free loan, to be repaid upon closing to help enhance the sale of the home. COMPASS CONCIERGE funds can be used for minor remodels and home repairs such as paint, flooring, new counters, etc. Funds can also be used for professional home staging, storage, cleaning, and other costs of sale.
Contact your A-TEAM OAHU COMPASS Broker for more information on this amazing program to help you sell your house quicker and for a higher sale price.
A-TEAM OAHU “RESCUE MISSIONS”
We often are called in to sell Oahu real estate that other agents have been unable to sell. And we succeed!! We achieve these results through the 4 P’s above, one or more which usually has been lacking. For example:
Looking as shown at the above-left, this home did not sell. The above-left photos were the effort of the second realtor (we were the 3rd) who had tried to sell this home over several years, before we came in. When we took the listing, we had the home’s interior painted and minor issues repaired. We brought in staging furniture and accessories, though we used much of the owner’s existing furniture. We did a deep cleaning, including all of the windows. We used HD photos (see above-right) and produced a beautiful video (see right). (New Photos & Video by SlickPixels Hawaii).
As you can see, we opened the doors, featured the stunning ocean view and emphasized the beach and surf lifestyle of the home. And we used well-lit and properly exposed photography, and a video. We are happy to say we received multiple offers after the first showing, and this home sold with the A-Team at the helm. We also got a great price for our Seller, considering the conditions and market at the time.
EXPERTISE & CONNECTIONS
With decades of real estate experience and hundred of transactions completed, we have the expertise to identify and troubleshoot in advance problems involving many topics such as CPRs, 1031 exchanges and other tax issues, title issues, survey issues, and building and permitting issues, etc. We also have connections to a great referral network of attorneys, contractors, and other professionals, to handle these types of issues. This saves our clients from losing potential buyers and experiencing delays when problems arise late in the game.
FULL-SERVICE, FULL-TIME
Our listing clients typically experience less hassle and stress during their Oahu real estate transaction because our team has every task covered. Most of our clients are referrals and repeat clients, who list their Oahu real estate with us, specifically because we are known for being full service, full time and for going “above and beyond” in service. We are always accessible and eager to help, and we are directly involved in and oversee every aspect of the transaction.
TECHNOLOGY
We efficiently use technology, to streamline the sale process and make the transaction easier and seamless for our clients. This is particularly helpful for off-island clients. You can trust that your home and your Oahu real estate sale is well-taken care of, even if you are thousands of miles away.
MARKETING REACH
The A-Team Oahu is with COMPASS, the largest independent brokerage in the U.S. by sales volume. Clients of COMPASS benefit from this because your listing is exposed to the eyes and ears of the entire COMPASS family, nationwide. We are are one company, not multiple franchises, and we are connected not only though our Intranet technology platform, but also, we are connected by our robust social media and our regular, in-person national and Hawaii networking events. Exposure to more agents and therefore, more potential buyers helps to achieve the highest sales price and the shortest number of days on market. Especially since the pandemic, real estate has become a global business. More people purchase remotely and more people are moving to Hawaii, when they can now “work from anywhere.” Marketing reach outside of Oahu has become even more important that it ever was before.
The A-TEAM OAHU is your Oahu Real Estate expert in Hawaii.
