We did a hybrid, or course. Selling our Maui house was by fsbo, with a title insurance co involved.
Buying here was odd. Knew nearly nothing about the BI, knew exactly what we were looking for, and chose a realtor who put his associate on keeping us happy with places to go out to see in remote areas, and shepherding the paperwork through the process (had to be back in Maui still.) Owner of the realty co always seemed to be looking at us quite suspiciously.
Took about a month for offer, walking the property as best we could, pinfinder and paperwork. Then it was ours.
One of the things that bothers me is the number of people who come here and have no idea of the climate, people or services available. There are people who have bought up here in Ka'ohe Homesteads who have no idea where their pins are.
I know you've been here a good long time, and know the "lay of the land". Enjoy that new lot!
