Why Choose Larry Barton as Your Buyer’s Representative?

Your home or investment property will likely be one of if not the largest purchases you will ever make. As you well know, there are many things to consider beyond the price. You will have the benefit of my extensive knowledge of the local market along with the unparalleled Century 21 All Islands data and latest developments in our ever changing market. This includes properties that are not yet listed for sale. I will leave "no stone unturned". Here is what you can expect from me:

• Ensure maximum exposure to Century 21 Kauai agents
  The 3 Century 21 Kauai offices combined have triple the sales of our next closest competitor and over 9 times more just in the Princeville market alone for 2007! The Princeville office ranked # 1 in Hawaii in 2007, out of 14 CENTURY 21 All Islands offices. The Princeville office ranked #6 in the region (including Southern California) and # 19 in the country out of all CENTURY 21 offices. You are getting an island wide team and the maximum exposure to agents who are proven producers. You are getting an island wide team who I will make well aware of your requirements.
  
  
• Contacting potential sellers:
  Sometimes the right property isn’t currently listed for sale. I will make contact with select owners in your preferred area whose home or investment property matches your needs. While not the norm, it would not be unusual to find the right property for you this way.
  
  
• Evaluate all current properties for sale
  A complete list will be created based on the Multiple Listing Service, FSBO’s (for sale by owner), dialog with other agents and properties recently taken off the market. From this we can identify the properties best suited for your needs.
  
  
• Finding a family home
  As a father of two, I will be sensitive to the needs of finding a home or land in the right area well suited for your family. Evaluation of safety, security, neighbors, proximity to schools, etc. are standard procedure. No need to worry!

• Evaluate properties recently sold
  An itemization of like properties that have sold within the last year will be put together and discussed with you so you can be informed and more easily recognize a good value. From the information gathered we can arrive at a sales price in line with current sellers’ expectations and market comparables.
  
  
• Negotiation of purchase contract
  You will have the benefit of my experience and local knowledge so that your final purchase agreement with the seller includes your best possible terms and conditions given the market conditions at that time.
  
  
• Transaction management - documentation and escrow
  I will guide you through all the paperwork and necessary steps in advance that are required to complete the process from the initial offer(s) to the close of escrow. This will be an orderly and efficient process.

As a prior successful small business owner, I also offer a wide array of management and negotiation skills. Relationships are the most meaningful part of my business and developing one with you will be my highest priority. I welcome the opportunity to help find the right house, condo or land at the best price to suit your needs.
