			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buying a new home can be a stressful time in your life, especially when finding the perfect home that fits your budget seems next to impossible. If you&#8217;re like most first time home buyers, you probably think you need to purchase a condominium because houses here are too expensive.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.minekokawamura.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/porch1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1117" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="1649 Leilehua Ln A" src="http://www.minekokawamura.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/porch1-410x307.jpg" alt="1649 Leilehua Ln A" width="266" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>Well there&#8217;s a very <a title="1649 Leilehua Ln A" href="http://www.minekokawamura.idxco.com/idx/3531/details.php?idxID=105&amp;listingID=1111403" target="_blank">charming single family house</a> in Honolulu that&#8217;s available at a condo price. It&#8217;s not a <a title="What is CPR/Subdivisions?" href="http://www.abeleerealty.com/HawaiiRealEstateInformation/CPR-Subdivisions.asp" target="_blank">CPR</a> so there are no condo maintenance fees. In addition, the entire house has been recently renovated and includes a new kitchen and bathroom. All kitchen appliances and washer are brand new. And there&#8217;s also yard space for gardening.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about this little gem near downtown Honolulu, please <a title="Contact me" href="http://www.minekokawamura.com/en/contact.html" target="_blank">contact</a> me.</p>
<p>人生において家の購入は大きな事でストレスの元、特に予算内に完璧なものを見つけるのはほとんど不可能に近いものがある。同感している不動産購入初心者の多くは経済的理由で一戸建てをあきらめコンドミニアムに焦点を絞っている。</p>
<p>実は、ホノルルの中心でとても<a title="1649 Leilehua Ln A" href="http://www.minekokawamura.idxco.com/idx/3531/details.php?idxID=105&amp;listingID=1111403" target="_blank">チャーミングな一戸建ての家</a>がコンドミニアムしか買えない値段で売りに出されている。　コンドミニアムのように<a title="CPR／サブディビジョンとは？" href="http://www.abeleerealty.com/HawaiiRealEstateInformation/CPR-Subdivisions.asp" target="_blank">共同使用区間</a>がないので管理を毎月支払わなくていい。それに、真新しいキッチン、浴室を含め　この家は最近プロに手直しされている。台所家電や洗濯機も新品である。</p>
<p>ホノルルダウンタウン近郊にあるこの小さな宝石箱のような家、ご興味がある方は<a title="こちら" href="http://www.minekokawamura.com/en/contact.html" target="_blank">こちら</a>までお問い合わせください。</p>

<p>Interesting story on <a title="Truth in Advertising: One Realtor's Strategy to Sell Foreclosed Homes" href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Story?id=7346226&amp;page=1" target="_blank">Nightline</a> the other night about a realtor who is brutally honest when warning potential buyers about houses on the market, including his own listings.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if this is a flophouse, brothel, retirement home, prison, fraternity&#8230;&#8221; he announced on a recent visit to a bank-owned property in northern San Diego County, his home turf.</p>
<p>And this was a property he was trying to sell.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure how focusing on the negative aspects of a property makes a person more &#8220;honest.&#8221; Perhaps because he appears to have nothing to hide?  But isn&#8217;t that what disclosure statements are for?</p>
<p>I think when you represent the seller, you need to focus on the positive aspects of the property and properly disclose the negative. Even if it&#8217;s a foreclosed property, you&#8217;re still selling it, you&#8217;re not giving it away.</p>
<p>Check out the Nightline story <a title="Truth in Advertising: One Realtor's Strategy to Sell Foreclosed Homes" href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Story?id=7346226&amp;page=1">here</a> and let me know what you think.</p>
<p><strong>アメリカ最後の馬鹿正直不動産エージェント<br />
</strong>先日　容赦なく何でも売り出し物件について意見している正直者(!?)のリアルター（不動産エージェント）の話が<a title="広告の真実: 不動産エージェントのフォークロジャー物件の売り出し作戦" href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Story?id=7346226&amp;page=1" target="_blank">ナイトライン</a> で放送されていました。</p>
<p>”これはいったい簡易宿泊所、売春宿、老人ホーム、刑務所、それとも男子学生の社交クラブか何かとかわらないような&#8230;” とサンディエゴ郡の自分の売り出し物件（銀行の持ち物件）に対してのコメントを述べていた。</p>
<p>ネガティブ（マイナス点）のことばかりを集中してコメントする事がもっと&#8221;正直者”になるのでしょうか？多分隠し事がないように見えるから？という事でしょうか?　でも物件公開書がそのためにあるのでは？</p>
<p>売り主に雇われて売主を代表して売るのであれば、売り出し物件のポジティブ（プラス点）に集中して、的確かつ正確に公開情報を伝えるのが必要では？と思います。　それが例えフォークロージァー物件でも、物件を無料でさばいているのではなくあくまでも売っている立場なのに。</p>
<p>ナイトラインの続きは <a title="広告の真実: 不動産エージェントのフォークロジャー物件の売り出し作戦" href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Story?id=7346226&amp;page=1" target="_blank">ここ</a> それとご意見をお聞かせください。</p>
