Please Remove Your Slippers in Oahu Homes for Sale, Mahalo!
I recently read a blog article from a mainland realtor who expressed dismay that the seller of a home she and her client visited would require prospective buyers to remove their shoes before entering the home. I had to laugh to myself; what was probably a legitimate complaint there, would not be even commented on here, on Oahu.
It is usual practice for most people on Oahu to remove their shoes before entering a home, whether the Oahu home’s for sale or not. It is very common to see a shoe rack just outside or just inside the door of any Oahu real estate and perhaps, even a small ceramic sign, with a catchy phrase, asking visitors to remove their shoes before entering. You can always tell a fun party too, by the huge pile of shoes near the hosts’ doormat.
Buyers of Oahu real esate from the mainland should be advised by their realtor to wear easy-on/easy-off shoes when going to look at Oahu properties for sale. Where buyers do not wish to remove their shoes or can’t for stability reasons, buyers should discuss those circumstances with their realtor, prior to showings, and should bring house slippers to change into or booties to cover their shoes.
