Should I buy a house that once had termites?

• <div><p>Termite damage isn’t always a deal breaker when buying a house, but don’t dismiss it. If that’s the case, you should hire a professional termite inspection to understand the extent of the damage, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/talking-termite-treatments.htm">type of termite</a>, state of repairs, and whether the infestation is gone.</p><p>If the termites are gone and the current owners repaired the damage, you might want to proceed. You may even be able to use the damage as a bargaining point. However, don’t forget that home insurance policies often don’t cover termite treatment or repairs and active infestations are tricky to shift.</p></div>

Does adding a garage apartment add value to your home?

• <div><p>Yes, a garage apartment is generally considered a valuable asset as long as the new structure has been legally built. It's important to weigh the cost to build a garage with an apartment against the<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-conversions-add-valuable-living-space.htm"> cost to convert a garage to living space</a> if you already have a garage.</p></div>

Can I be present during the home appraisal?

• <div><p>You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.</p></div>

Issac is the best. He always shows up on time. Never misses a week and always does a great job. He is very very reliable. I am a real estate agent in Kona and I recommend him to all of my real estate clients..

As the seller's agent, I requested a quote, and forwarded that to the buyer. They did contract with them, but I had no further interaction. I was very impressed with his response to the request for a quote

We had a main waterline break at our Ranch Estate in Waiki'i Ranch and the plumber we usually call couldn't get us in so I found Calvin's based on good reviews. Here I am adding to another great review for the incredible and quick work done by Garrett with Calvin's Plumbing. Not only is Garrett...

AWFUL. THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY. WE WERE CHARGED $400 FOR REFILLING REFRIGERANT AND BEING TOLD TO CHANGE THE FILTER. 5 MONTHS LATER A REAL REPAIR GUY (AFTER THE THING LEAKING MORE) TELLS US THE THING IS BROKEN WHICH ANY REPAIR MAN WOULD KNOW BY LOOKING IN THE FILTER VENT. SO NOT ONLY ARE WE NOW...

The move went very well. Goods were delivered and unpacked in a timely manner. Just a few broken items but it's difficult to move and have every single thing make it in perfect condition. There are a lot of bad moving companies out there. This is a good one. They may cost more but they are the...

They dug up an old asphalt drive way that had been there for about thirty years or so and installed an entirely new driveway. They had to work around a drain that was fairly shallow under one part of the driveway. That really presented some complications, but they did a good job. They were real...
