Hawaii's median home price tops $1 million on Oahu, meaning a traditional 2.5% buyer commission costs $25,000+. I'm Rob Luecke, and our flat fee model already saved a Hawaii client over $25,000 on a single Honolulu transaction.

Why a Managing Broker Matters in Hawaii
Most rebate services give you an inexperienced agent at a discount or connect you through a referral network. ShopProp's managing broker — the person who runs the brokerage — handles your transaction directly. Remote transactions are common in Hawaii, closing customs differ from the mainland, and the stakes are high above $1M.
After the NAR settlement, comparing a flat $4,995 to a 2.5% commission ($25,000+ on most Oahu homes) makes the choice clear.
