Compared with a 2.5% listing-side commission. Whether to offer a buyer’s-agent cooperation fee is your call, decided at offer time — your broker will walk you through it.
South Kohala resort condos typically carry higher AOAO fees than in-town buildings — they pay for grounds, pools, and in some cases resort amenity programs. We publish the monthly fee up front and itemize what it covers, because a $1,200 fee that includes insurance and utilities reads very differently from one that doesn't.
Parts of South Kohala are resort-zoned, where short-term rental is a permitted use; outside those areas, Hawaiʻi County's STVR registration rules apply. We record your property's actual status during intake and state it precisely on the listing — no vague "vacation rental potential" claims.

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.
