Jeb Fuller holds a Certified General Appraiser license — the highest appraiser designation in the United States — and is also a Certified Condominium Specialist. He is the only professional in Hawaii who holds both credentials, with 25+ years applied exclusively to condominiums.
Hawaii condominiums present appraisal challenges that simply do not exist on the mainland. Fee simple vs. leasehold ownership can create value differences of 20–40% between otherwise identical units. Foreign ownership patterns in Waikiki create demand dynamics that standard appraisal models do not capture. Vacation rental zoning dramatically affects value in buildings like the Ilikai or Waikiki Banyan. New construction in Ward Village requires understanding of Howard Hughes' phased development strategy and its effect on comparable sales. A generalist appraiser from the mainland — or even a Hawaii appraiser who primarily does houses — will miss these nuances. Jeb Fuller has spent 25+ years building the deepest condo-specific knowledge base in the state, including a database of 3,551 Oahu condo buildings.
The highest appraiser license in the U.S. Qualifies Jeb to appraise all property types at any value — with 25+ years applied exclusively to Hawaii condominiums.
The only nationally recognized designation for condominium specialists. No other appraiser in Hawaii holds this designation combined with a Certified General Appraiser license.
As both an appraiser and a broker, Jeb understands the full transaction context — how appraisal values affect buyers, sellers, lenders, and investors in the Hawaii market.
These are the issues that separate a Hawaii condo appraisal specialist from a generalist. Jeb has 25+ years of experience navigating every one of them.
Hawaii has one of the largest concentrations of leasehold condominiums in the United States. Leasehold status, remaining lease term, and renegotiation risk all affect value in ways that require deep local expertise to quantify accurately. Jeb has appraised hundreds of leasehold condos across Oahu.
In Waikiki and other resort zones, vacation rental eligibility can add significant value to a condo unit. Jeb understands the zoning designations, building-level rules, and market demand that determine whether vacation rental use is a value driver for a specific unit.
Howard Hughes' Ward Village development has created a new luxury condo market in Kakaako with limited comparable sales history. Jeb's deep knowledge of each Ward Village tower — from Waiea to Kalae to the upcoming Melia — makes him the most qualified appraiser for this market segment.
In Honolulu high-rises, the difference between floor 10 and floor 25 can be $100,000 or more. View corridors — ocean, mountain, city, or obstructed — require building-specific knowledge that only comes from years of appraising within the same buildings repeatedly.
A condo's value is partly a function of its HOA's financial health. Underfunded reserves, pending special assessments, or ongoing litigation can significantly affect value. Jeb evaluates HOA financials as a standard part of every appraisal.
Waikiki and Ward Village attract significant foreign and mainland buyer demand that creates pricing dynamics distinct from local buyer markets. Jeb's 25+ years of market observation gives him the data and perspective to account for these dynamics accurately.
