Financing Your Home >Credit Card Mania

Most people know that a checkered credit history can disqualify you for a home loan, and maxed-out credit cards can do the same thing. But what most people don't know is that merely having a large number of credit cards, even with low balances and a history of timely payments, can disqualify you for a home mortgage loan just as quickly.

According to credit experts, having a number of credit cards can be just as detrimental to the granting of further credit as a history of late payments. Lenders look at it this way: If you have ten credit cards, each with a limit of $5,000, that means you have the potential to run up $50,000 in debt virtually any time you choose. That mere possibility makes you a greater risk, from their point of view.

The moral of the story? If you are planning to apply for a home loan in the future, keep only those credit cards you actually need to use and cancel the others.

I have spent my entire professional life—the past 28 years—as a Realtor here on Oahu, where I was born and raised. I was educated at Punahou School, and thereafter earned a degree in Communications from the University of Southern California. In every one of the last 15 years I have ranked in the top 1% of all real estate agents on Oahu. During the past 15 years, I have consistently ranked in the top five agents in the entire firm, achieving the Top Producer in two of those years, and the 2nd or 3rd Top Producer in eight of those years. I enjoy an detailed knowledge of every neighborhood on Oahu, and a excellent working knowledge of the other Hawaiian Islands, as well. Having been with the same brokerage firm for all of these years, I am comfortable and experienced in virtually every kind of real estate transaction: whether it be an investment property or condominium, a lavish ocean front estate, or a modest family home. No transaction can be either too large or too small to command my full energy and attention. My C.C.I.M. designation, earned in 1994, puts me in a cadre of several thousand Realtors nationwide who specialize in commercial or investment real estate, 1031 Exchanges, and installment sales. My International President’s Elite designation at Coldwell Banker, earned for each of the past 6 years, puts me in the top 1% of all Coldwell Banker agents nationwide. I live on Tantalus mountain above Honolulu with my wife, Alice, and two children, Ginger and Jessica. My other interests include swimming, running, long board surfing, and Hawaiian music. I play steel and slack key guitar and have recorded with Taj Mahal and the Hula Blues Band. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, I can promise you the personal integrity, professional competence, and depth of knowledge that will earn your confidence.
