Hawaiʻi County regulates short-term vacation rentals (STVR), and the rules differ between resort-zoned areas and residential ones. If your property has an STVR registration, the number and status belong on the listing — buyers paying for rental history will verify both. Our intake collects the permit number and registration status, and Nalu quotes them accurately to every caller.
Most North Kona condos are part of an AOAO (association of apartment owners). The monthly fee and what it covers — water, sewer, building insurance, common areas — are among the first questions buyers ask. We publish the fee in plain numbers and get your association documents lined up for escrow early.

Closing costs are a rough placeholder (escrow, title, and conveyance tax vary). Totals exclude the optional cooperation fee — it’s the same decision in every column.
