Dude… I Chose My House Based On Schools

You are ready to do a home search with your real estate agent, but you are concerned about what school your child will attend. That’s not a problem, because we can find a suitable home for you, while also looking for the best school for your child. The home search should be about more than just where you will reside. Many neighborhoods also have great schools that go along with them. For example, if you live in Pahoa, you know that there is the Pahoa High School, Pahoa Intermediate School, and several elementary schools. There are also choices like HAAS, aka the Hawaii Academy of the Arts and Science. Choosing a home should encompass choosing a school. If you are in the Hilo area, there are even more present choices. So, Step 1: Get a great real estate agent, Step 2: Find a neighborhood that fits all your needs, Step 3: Find what schools are in that particular area, Step 4: Choose your home based on the school of your choosing. And if necessary, choose the school first and then look for the closest desirable neighborhood in that area. You will be happier in the long run for choosing an area where you know your child will attend the best school, and hopefully where you will also find the home of your dreams!

Did you know?
Everyone knows that there’s no snakes in Hawaii, right? Well, that isn’t entirely true. There is one type of snake that does dwell here on the islands. It’s called the Hawaiian Blind Snake, and he’s just a tiny little guy that you might find in your garden from time to time. They are totally harmless and barely qualify as a snake, quite frankly.

Real Estate Tip of the Month:

When buying a home, get all the info on the local HOA. HOAs are notorious for having some ridiculous rules, so make sure to read them before signing on the dotted line. Still, many of those rules can actually help protect your home’s value. So, when it comes right down to it, they aren’t all bad.

Business Feature: Black Rock Cafe

This business has been around for a long time and is a favorite among many. With its awesome breakfast, to lunch and dinner, it offers everything you could want in a restaurant. The place is clean and tidy and comfortable to just sit back and relax. The staff is friendly and you might get recognized if you go there too many times. Haha…. I would recommend eating anything off their breakfast menu. Nothing from that list of choices will disappoint.
