A Bit About Ethan
With more than 31 years of experience in Oahu real estate, Ethan Lema has built a reputation for knowledgeable guidance, practical solutions, and a steady approach to navigating complex transactions.
Ethan is the principal broker of 2K Realty, Inc. and a licensed REALTOR® serving clients across Oʻahu. Over the course of three decades, he has assisted hundreds of buyers and sellers, and developed a deep understanding of the local real estate market. His experience spans every aspect of residential and commercial real estate, allowing him to guide clients through a wide variety of situations with confidence.
Every transaction presents its own circumstances and challenges. Ethan approaches each client’s situation individually, drawing from decades of experience and market knowledge to identify practical and effective strategies, including options like a $2000 commission option, that help move transactions forward.
Because of the number of clients he has served and the range of situations he has encountered, Ethan understands that real estate solutions are rarely one-size-fits-all. His goal is to help clients make informed decisions while ensuring their transaction is handled professionally from start to finish.
The $2,000 Commission Option
Ethan offers a unique $2,000 commission option for sellers in Oahu real estate who want to take a more active role in marketing their property. This option is designed primarily for homeowners who may have considered selling For Sale By Owner but still want the benefits and protection of working with a licensed real estate broker. Through this program, sellers can participate in marketing their home—such as holding open houses or sharing the listing with friends, family, and personal networks. If the seller introduces a buyer who is not represented by a real estate agent, Ethan will represent both parties in the transaction and charge a flat $2,000 commission. However, if Ethan brings the buyer, or if another real estate broker represents the buyer, the transaction proceeds under the standard commission agreed upon in the listing agreement, which is typically between 5% and 6% of the sales price. This approach allows sellers to enjoy the advantages of full-service real estate representation while also having the opportunity to potentially save thousands of dollars in commission if they are able to locate their own buyer.
