- Pending means the seller is not showing anymore nor looking for new offers. Some Realtors don't put it into Pending status until it is almost ready to close but some put it into Pending right away if they do not want to show it or entertain new offers.

Land Tenure
- Fee Simple property means you own the land and the value of your property will go up.
- Leasehold means you do not own the land, and the value of your property will go down.
- Use the Land Tenure search form option to remove Leasehold properties from your search results.
- Sometimes you can purchase the fee, thereby turning Leasehold into Fee Simple.
- Leasehold is like renting. You pay a month lease payment to the owner of the land, plus the value of your property goes down.

History View
- Remember there are two types of history. One for the MLS#, and one for the TMK#.
- The TMK# history shows you all the times the property was listed and includes multiple MLS#'s.
- The MLS# history is just for that MLS# showing you price drops, status changes, or other changes.
- Before making an offer it is important to understand the history of the property. Has the property fallen out of escrow? What did the seller pay for the home? Have they reduced the price multiple times? Was it listed before under a different MLS#? Knowing the history answers these questions and give you more knowledge to help in your decision of what price to offer.

Assessed Value
- Many times the Assessed Value do not reflect the true market price for a property.
- Sometimes the Assessed Value is confused with the Appraised Value, but they are not the same thing.
- An Appraised Value comes from an Appraisal which looks at the comparables and does reflect the market pricing.
- Properties sell for significantly over and under the Assessed Value.
- The Assessed Value does show how your taxes will be calculated.
- The Assessed Values shown on OahuRE are entered by the listing agents. Sometimes they enter a value that is out of date or many times they do not update the listing to the new value. To view the most up to date Assessed Value click on the Tax link from the detail page. This will give you the latest Assessed Value directly from the City and County Website.

Pet Friendly
- The listing agent is responsible for entering if the unit allows pets.
- Many sellers are not aware of this and they don't let the agent know so it shows as not pet friendly when it is.
- If you see most units in the building are pet friendly but some are not it is just the agent did not enter it right.
