You’re thinking about selling your Maui property and making all the right moves and getting prepared. That’s great, but there might be one thing you’ve overlooked. Does your property have a street address? I see so many new listings hit the market with a big fat ZERO in the address line — what does it mean? It means someone has neglected to take one easy step to get an address number assigned.
What does a ZERO address mean to a buyer? It can mean this:
- Listing agent is lazy and didn’t care about getting an address
- Seller is uninformed and didn’t know how to get an address
- The map dot on the listing might not correctly show the location of the property
- Maybe other information about the listing is also incorrect
How can you get an address assigned?
- Call Maui County Development Services Administration at (808) 270-7250
- Provide a TMK number — that’s your Tax Map Key number which identifies your property as unique
- Maybe provide a simple map showing the location of the driveway
- It only takes a day or two!
Get your Maui property on the map!
What are the benefits of having a street address?
- Emergency responders can find the property
- The listing map dot will show up in the correct location
- Title and deed will accurately identify the property
- No confusion in the MLS if similar properties have the same 0 address
