Question 4

Do I need a buyer's agent to purchase a home in Lahaina?

Accepted Answer

In Hawaii, buyers are not legally required to use an agent, but working with one is strongly recommended. A local buyer's agent in Lahaina will have access to off-market listings, negotiate on your behalf, and guide you through inspection, financing, and closing — at no direct cost to you (seller typically covers commissions).

Accepted Answer

In Hawaii, total agent commission is typically 4–6% of the sale price, split between the buyer's and seller's agents. Since the NAR settlement in 2024, commission structures have become more flexible — ask any listed agent for a clear breakdown of their fees before signing.

Ask about their recent sales in Lahaina specifically, how many transactions they've closed in the last 12 months, how they'll market your home (or source listings for buyers), their communication style, and whether they work solo or with a team. A strong local agent will have direct answers for all of these.
