TOP 8 MISTAKES Buyers Make When Purchasing A Home In Hawaii | Hawaii Home Buying Guide | HI Living

Are you thinking about moving to Hawaii? Let’s explore the TOP 8 MISTAKES Buyers make when purchasing a home in Hawaii today!
If you’re dreaming about owning a home in Hawaii, whether it’s your first island property, a vacation home, or a permanent move, this video is for you. After helping countless clients navigate the unique world of Hawaii real estate, I’ve seen the same mistakes pop up over and over again…and some of them can be really costly (and stressful).
In this episode, I’m walking you through the top 8 mistakes buyers often make when purchasing a home in Hawaii — plus what you can do to avoid them and make your home-buying journey smooth, informed, and maybe even fun!
Here's what we’ll cover:
Why working with the right real estate agent in Hawaii makes all the difference
How shopping around for mortgage rates can save you thousands
The danger of overextending your budget in paradise
Why preparation is key — especially in a competitive market
How Hawaii’s unique timelines and delays can impact your plans
The importance of doing deep research on neighborhoods, zoning, and property type
What you need to know about home inspections and island weather damage
And why really knowing the vibe of your future neighborhood matters more than you think
Hawaii is beautiful, but buying here isn’t quite like buying on the mainland — it comes with its own set of rules, rhythms, and surprises. My goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and excited — not overwhelmed or caught off guard.
