Our company manages 376 properties and associations and growing. We manage properties all over Oahu. We are a boutique style brokerage and work with clients like yourself and build long lasting relationships with them to manage their properties and also represent them in the sale of their property too when the time is right. We charge a management fee of 8-10% (depending on the rent price, location of property, and scope of work) vs. the 10-15% that most property managers charge. There are NO additional or hidden fees! We don’t take a fee unless there is a tenant paying rent. Additionally, we do not charge any fee for finding a new tenant. With SC Realty you will work with one property manager at all times and you can always call, text, or email me as well. So you will always have 2 points of contact in case you have any questions. We are unlike other large property management companies where they have a group of people overseeing your property and no one is accountable. That can get frustrating when trying to get answers. We look forward to earning you business and hearing from you very soon!
"SC Realty has been a tremendous partner for us. It has been because of their professionalism, resourcefulness, and responsiveness that we have been able to maintain and grow our real estate portfolio. They are integral to what we do and couldn't imagine having another partner."

Real estate agents work on commission, so the cost of hiring an agent will depend on the cost of the home you’re buying or selling. The listing contract should include information about the commission for both agents, which is usually 6 percent of the sale price in total or 3 percent per side. With an average national home value of around $440,000, the typical commission per agent is $13,200. However, you won’t pay this total out of pocket. Instead, the commission comes out of the sale price of the property.
Interviewing real estate agents is the best way to find the right person for the job. Consider asking the following questions to find the best agent for you:
How will you show my property?
Will you do open houses to market my home?
How will you handle dual agency (representing the buyer and you as the seller)?
Should I make repairs to my home before listing?
Will you get professional photos taken of my home?
What is the best price you think we can get for my property?
How long do you expect the sale to take?
Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.
You don’t legally need a real estate agent as a buyer, as you can represent yourself, but you should always hire an agent as a home buyer. A professional real estate agent will have access to local MLS services to find homes that meet your criteria and needs, can connect you with other professionals—like a mortgage broker and real estate attorney—you’ll need for the purchase, and can often negotiate a better price for your home to help save you money. Plus, as the buyer, your agent’s commission comes from the seller’s proceeds from the sale of the home.
