Looking for some advice...
I am in the process of negotiating to buy the undeveloped lot that is adjacent to the lot I own and live on in Fern Acres. I am talking directly to the owner, who I contacted via the County property records. The lot is not currently listed, so we would like to do a private party transaction and avoid the expense of a real estate agent.
I have done several private party real estate transactions in another state, but this will be my first in Hawaii. I usually just have the title company assist for a fee, which is much cheaper than what most real estate agents will charge.
I always get title insurance to make sure I am getting a clear and marketable title, and have the title company take care of recording deed, etc.
Any advice out there for me? Any preferred title companies in Hilo area?
Thank you.
