Ok, it’s really more of a survey, and it’s really not required.

I have done an informal survey of the market (through craigslist) and I got a lot of great feedback from potential renters.

If you decide to buy a home that was listed with your agent, it’s possible that your agent – or at least the broker’s company — will end up acting as a “dual agent,” representing both you and the seller in the transaction.Hawaii’s real estate agency rules are covered under:Hawaii Administrative rules §16-99-3.1 Disclosure of Agency.What the Brokerage Firm and its agents CAN do for Sellers and Buyers- Treat the Seller and Buyer honestly- Provide information to Buyer about the property and community- Respond to questions from Buyer about the property- Disclose to Buyer, pursuant to Hawaii law, all material facts about the property known to Brokerage Firm- Disclose to Seller the financial qualifications which have been provided with the permission of Buyer- Explain real estate forms, terms and procedures- Listing Agent at Seller’s direction may continue to market the property and solicit additional offers- Buyer’s Agent at Buyer’s direction may continue to search for and prepare offers on other properties- Assist in arranging property inspections- Explain closing costs and procedures- Assist Buyer in comparing financial alternatives- Provide information about comparable properties so that Buyer and Seller can make an educated decision as to what price to offer or accept- Prepare the Purchase Contract that will include the standard provisions and disclosures for Buyer and Seller- Work diligently to facilitate the sale and advise Seller and Buyer when experts (legal, survey, accounting, architectural, engineering, etc.) should be retained.What the Brokerage Firm and its agents CANNOT do for Sellers and Buyers:- Cannot disclose confidential information that Brokerage Firm or its agents may know about Seller and/or Buyer(e.g., motivation to sell/buy, price/terms, negotiating strategy, etc.), without express written permission of Seller and/or Buyer- Cannot disclose the price Seller will accept, other than the listing price, without express written permission of Seller- Cannot disclose the price Buyer is willing to pay without express written permission of Buyer- Cannot recommend or suggest a price Buyer should offer or pay for the property- Cannot recommend or suggest a price Seller should accept or counter for the property.Another common way that dual agency can arise is if you visit an open house before you’ve signed up an agent to represent you as a buyer, then you express interest in the house, and are told by the agent for the seller that writing up an offer for you will be no problem – and might even save you money!
