Bulletins – Hawaii Information Service

Amidst all of the action that has been happening around the office lately, we almost didn’t stop to share that HIS/REsearch enjoyed 100% uptime in the fiscal year ending 6/30/2009.  Now if that’s not a great reason to celebrate I don’t know what is!

Wahoo!

Just a quick note to let you know that the names of a couple of HAR forms will be changing.

They are:

• “Agreement of Sale Addendum to the Purchase Contract” has been shortened to “Agreement of Sale Addendum”
• “Existing “As Is” Condition Addendum” has been shortened to “”As Is” Condition Addendum”
• Also, the “Purchase Contract” and the “Purchase Money Mortgage Addendum” both underwent revisions.

To find out what the specific changes were the best thing to do is contact HAR directly.  Here is where you can find their contact information: http://www.hawaiirealtors.com/about_us/contact_us.asp

Have a great week and please let me know if you have any questions regarding these changes/revisions or anything else.

Hawaii Information Service is unlike most MLS companies in that we offer distinct ways for both members and customers to get information about real estate online. Our company website, HawaiiInformation.com, has long served both as a gateway to members to login to the REsearch system, as well as a starting point for homebuyers looking to find properties for sale on AlohaLiving.com.

Earlier this year, we redesigned HawaiiInformation.com, simplifying its structure and giving it a cleaner, more modern look. Now, we’re further refining the homepage, balancing REsearch and AlohaLiving.com to make it even simpler for first-time visitors to get to the information they need.

Members will still find prominent links to the existing login page, as well as to additional information on the products and services we offer.  The cleaner design will also better highlight the featured agent Gallery Ads.

Customers, meanwhile, will be directed immediately to AlohaLiving.com, where they will be able to find properties for sale, save their searches, access public records data, find an agent, and get more information about living in Hawaii.

Two views, one great new look — what could be better than that?
