Aloha all!
It has been some time since I posted here. We retired 3 1/2 years ago and never really got the chance to spend time at our cottage up in Eden Roc since you can't leave a place empty there and you can't go there when you have a tenant. I've grown somewhat tired of filing taxes in both the US and Canada and my wife and I figure it would probably make sense to sell the cottage and use the proceeds to fund our retirement travels. Besides, Hawaii has become quite expensive these last few years and we've been heading to Mexico mostly for our 'snow bird' parts of the year.
In any case, I thought I would ask you good folks if you had a recommendation for a real estate agent who would provide assistance in selling the place. My cousin is an agent now on the mainland and has lived in Hawaii in the past so she has given us a ball park estimate of a list price as well as a 'family price' we are offering to our tenant. Our hope is that our tenant can swing the financing to buy the place and wouldn't have to look for a new home but she's not sure she can swing the financing on it so I'd like to start getting a plan B ready just in case.
Thank you all for any advice you may be able to provide in this direction and for all of the talk story we've shared over the years.
