Handling a property after the loss of a loved one can be emotionally and logistically difficult.

Should the family keep, rent, or sell the home? What if heirs disagree, the home needs repairs, or there's still a mortgage or taxes to manage? These decisions aren't just financial — they're personal.

I help families and representatives think through the property side of probate with compassion and practical guidance, especially when the home is on Oʻahu and family members may be off-island or out of state.

Message me privately and we can talk through the real estate options with care.

A short sale may be an option when a homeowner needs to sell, but the home is worth less than what is owed.

That can feel heavy — many homeowners avoid asking about it because they feel embarrassed or unsure where to start. But a short sale isn't about giving up. In the right situation, it can be a way to avoid foreclosure and move forward with more control.

The process requires lender communication, proper documentation, pricing strategy, buyer coordination, and patience. As a Certified Short Sale and Foreclosure Specialist, I help homeowners understand what may be possible and how to approach the process with a clear plan.

A quiet conversation now can prevent a much louder problem later. Reach out privately.

If you're behind on your mortgage, you may still have options.

Foreclosure can feel isolating, especially here on Oʻahu where housing is personal, family-centered, and deeply tied to our sense of stability. But being behind does not automatically mean you are out of choices.

Depending on your situation, there may be ways to catch up or negotiate with the lender, explore a short sale, sell before foreclosure damages your future options, protect your credit, or create a clean transition plan for your family.

The key is timing. The earlier you understand your options, the more room you usually have to make a better decision.

I'm Chari Badua Robinson, Certified Short Sale and Foreclosure Specialist, and I help distressed homeowners understand the real estate side of these difficult situations with care, confidentiality, and experience.

Message me privately. Let's look at your options before the situation gets tighter.

If you are facing a difficult decision about your home, I want you to know something first: you are not alone.

Many homeowners wait to ask for help because they feel embarrassed, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. I understand that.

I work with Hawaii homeowners who are dealing with stressful property situations like missed payments, foreclosure pressure, short sales, probate, divorce, liens, and HOA concerns.

My role is simple. I help you understand the real estate side of your options. I do not pressure you. I do not make promises I cannot control. And I do not give legal or financial advice.

I help you get clear on what is happening with the property, what may still be possible, and what next steps may make sense.

Sometimes keeping the home may still be an option. Sometimes selling may be the more realistic path. Sometimes the first step is simply having a calm conversation so you can breathe and think clearly again.

If you are in Hawaii and unsure what to do next with your property, I am here to help you understand your options.

If you're behind on your mortgage in Hawaii or California — please read this before you do anything else.
Most homeowners in pre-foreclosure don't realize they have options. They assume it's too late, or that asking for help means admitting failure.
It's not too late. And asking for help is the smartest thing you can do right now.
Here's what you need to know:
✅ A short sale is NOT the same as foreclosure. You stay in control.
✅ You have more time than you think — even after a Notice of Default.
✅ In Hawaii, you may owe nothing after the sale is complete.
✅ The right agent can negotiate directly with your lender on your behalf.
I've been doing this since 2015. I've helped 50+ families in Hawaii and California navigate foreclosure, short sales, probate, divorce, and inherited property situations — and I've never once judged someone for the situation they were in.
The first conversation is always free.
