Frequently Asked Questions
An exclusive buyer's agent represents buyers only and does not list properties for sellers. Because Steven Moody has no listings of his own, there is no built-in incentive to steer a buyer toward a particular property, and his obligations in a transaction run to the buyer. This is uncommon in Hawaii, where most agents represent both sides of the market.
Yes. Steven works with buyers on Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii Island (the Big Island). Most Hawaii agents focus on a single island or region. Steven has represented buyers on Kauai for more than 30 years, the Big Island for about 20 years, and Maui for over 10 years, so he can compare neighborhoods and properties across all three.
You are not required to use one, but working with an agent who represents only you means your interests are the ones being negotiated for. In Hawaii, buyer representation is set out in a written buyer representation agreement, which Steven reviews with you before you start looking.
Buyer representation compensation is agreed in writing, in the buyer representation agreement, before you begin. How the agent is paid can vary from one transaction to another, so Steven goes over the arrangement directly so you know the terms up front.
