Quick thing I wish more people moving to Hawaii knew before they buy land 👇

The building code here changed. All four counties — Oahu, Maui, Big Island, Kauai — adopted the 2018 IECC with our own Hawaii Amendments. Tropical Zone rules. Cool Roof requirements. Different effective dates by county.

Translation: if your contractor is still quoting you off the old code, your build is going to stall at the permit office. I've seen it three times in the last six months and it costs people real money — five figures, not pocket change.

Made a quick 3-minute video breaking down what actually changed, what "Tropical Zone" means, and the 3 questions every Hawaii homeowner should ask their builder before signing.

If you're in the middle of planning a Hawaii build — which island and what's your timeline? 🌺

Thinking about buying Hawaii property from Japan?

One of the first questions many international buyers ask is simple: Should I buy with cash, or can I finance?

The answer depends on your timing, documentation, lender options, currency planning, and the type of Hawaii property you are considering. A Honolulu condo, an Oʻahu home, or a long-term investment property may each require a different strategy.

In this video, I walk through the big-picture financing questions Japan-based buyers should understand before entering the Hawaii real estate market.

Whether you are buying, selling, investing, or helping family explore a future in Hawaii, the goal is the same: move with clarity, not confusion.

Inherited a home in Hawaii but live overseas? Don't let your equity get trapped by HARPTA and FIRPTA taxes. 🏝️📈

Selling Hawaii real estate as a non-US resident requires navigating Ancillary Probate and mandatory 22.25% tax withholdings. The good news? Our team at Island Dragonfly can handle the entire process while you sign the closing documents from your living room.

Watch my full breakdown on exactly how we help international executors navigate the Hawaii legal maze.

Rain in Hawaii is not just weather — it can be part of how a home lives, breathes, and performs.

In this video, I talk about Rainwater Harvesting 2.0: smarter systems that can capture, filter, monitor, and distribute rainwater for modern island living. Think beyond the old rain barrel. Today’s systems may include filtration, UV treatment, smart sensors, app monitoring, irrigation support, and better awareness of how water moves through a property.

For local homeowners, this is practical. For buyers moving to Hawaii, it is a reminder that island living comes with its own rhythm, responsibility, and opportunities.

A beautiful home is wonderful. A thoughtful home is even better.

Message me if you are buying, selling, or simply trying to understand Hawaii real estate with more depth.

Aloha everyone! 🌴 Living in Hawaii is an absolute dream, but keeping your slice of paradise private is a top priority. Have you ever wondered how the most secure luxury homes on Oahu and Maui keep unwanted visitors out without building giant walls that ruin those gorgeous ocean views? 🌊

We aren’t talking about your standard alarm systems anymore. In my new video, I’m geeking out over virtual 3D fences, AI cameras that actually know the difference between a wild pig and an intruder, and even security drones that launch themselves from a pod to protect your property! 🚁✨

Whether you're a local family looking to upgrade your forever home, or you're holding onto an investment property here in the islands, peace of mind is priceless. Plus, these advanced systems can even help lower your homeowner's insurance premiums!

Curious to see what the future of home security looks like? Watch the video below! Let me know in the comments—would you trust a robot drone to guard your house? 👇

Remember the Three Little Pigs? 🐷🐷🐷

Turns out, the pig with the wood house wasn't wrong — he just didn't have the right wood.

In my newest video, I break down Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) — the engineered lumber that survives 1,800°F fires, flexes through earthquakes, and is being used to build 25-story buildings on the Mainland. It's the kind of thing every Hawaii homeowner, future buyer, and 'ohana planning their forever-home should know about — because the next time you walk through an open house here in Honolulu, Kailua, or out on Maui, you might just be standing inside the future. 🌲🏝️

Hawaii imports almost everything we build with. Anything that builds faster, lasts longer, and rides out a hurricane or earthquake better matters to our island families.
If you've been wondering whether now's the time to buy, sell, or just understand where Hawaii's market is heading — let's talk story. ☕

🏝️ HAWAII BUYER ALERT: Before you make an offer, watch this.

There's a phrase I've heard hundreds of times in 22+ years
of real estate:

"Jason, why is this condo so much cheaper than the one
upstairs?"

Nine times out of ten, the answer is one word: LEASEHOLD.

In Hawaii — uniquely among US states — you can buy a property
where you own the building but only LEASE the land underneath
it. The lease has an expiration. The rent can be renegotiated.
And when buyers don't understand what they're signing, the
"deal" they thought they got turns into a wealth-destroying
surprise 10, 20, or 30 years later.

I made a short video (under 3 minutes) walking through:

✓ What leasehold means in Hawaii
✓ The 3 questions every buyer MUST ask
✓ When leasehold actually makes financial sense
✓ Red flags most agents won't mention

This is the conversation I wish every mainland buyer had
BEFORE they fell in love with a property.

If you're thinking about buying in Hawaii in 2026 — whether
it's a Waikiki condo, an Oahu home, or an investment property —
message me directly. The 15-minute consultation is free, and
it could save you six figures.

Buying Hawaii real estate from overseas is not just about finding the right property.

It is about being ready before the right property appears.

For foreign and international buyers, the timeline often includes banking preparation, funds-transfer planning, lender or proof-of-funds review, escrow coordination, inspections, due diligence, and closing logistics.

In this video, I explain a practical 90-day timeline — from opening a U.S. bank account to receiving the keys.

This is especially useful for buyers considering Oahu, Honolulu, Kakaako, Waikiki, Kahala, Hawaii Kai, Kailua, and other Hawaii markets.

🚨 FOREIGN INVESTORS IN HAWAII: STOP BEFORE YOU SELL! 🚨

Thinking of cashing out of your Hawaii commercial property? If you think it’s going to be as easy as selling a condo, you are in for a brutal awakening.

Here is what the IRS isn't telling you:
💸 22.25% of your SALES PRICE (not profit) is getting withheld at closing.
📉 The "Silent Killer": Section 1250 Depreciation Recapture is coming for the write-offs you claimed for the last 20 years.

Don't let the IRS take your equity. You need a broker who knows the difference between a house and a high-rise.

Watch the full breakdown here before you make a massive mistake. Link in bio! 🏢📈

Working from home isn't going anywhere — and honestly, if you're going to work from home... shouldn't that home be in Hawaiʻi? 🌺

The latest data shows that hybrid and remote work are now the standard for most industries heading into 2026. That's changing what buyers want: dedicated office space, strong Wi-Fi, and a layout that works for both living and working. And for sellers? If your home already has that setup, you're sitting on a feature that today's market is willing to pay a premium for.

I've been helping families, investors, and remote professionals find their perfect Hawaii home across Oʻahu, Maui, Big Island, Kauaʻi, and beyond. Whether you're a local family looking to upgrade, or you're watching this from the mainland thinking "what if?" — let's talk.

Your office view could be a lot better. 🤙
