In 1990 after working with the Bank of Hawaii on Guam, Tamio S. Clark established Blue Pacific Realty as an independent Real Estate firm to cater to the special needs of Japanese clients on Guam.  There was a special need at the time to have a local representative assist property owners in navigating around the requirements for development projects, including assistance in acquiring the necessary government approvals as well as overall business consulting services for the main offices overseas concerning development on Guam. In the early 1990’s when the Japanese economy suffered a devastating downturn, many Japanese property owners and banks holding mortgages needed to dispose of their holdings.  Blue Pacific Realty assisted several of these companies and worked in conjunction with the banks to successfully sell their holdings, a practice which continues to this day. Blue Pacific Realty expanded in 1995 when several experienced real estate agents joined to form a successful sales team. This team would work with sales and rentals, serving both residential and commercial clients. In the first decade of the new millennium Blue Pacific Realty was successful in the sale of a large tract of land that was developed into the Paradise Estates Subdivision. The firm assisted both the Seller and Buyer, culminating in an agreement that was satisfactory and beneficial to all parties.  During this time, Blue Pacific Realty also assisted Fujita Kanko in selling their former hotel site in Tumon as their exclusive agent, and shortly thereafter, also sold Takayama Bussan’s holding in Windward Hills Golf and Country Club. Since its inception, Blue Pacific Realty has been able to adapt to the ever changing economic conditions on Guam, consistently doing well in the face of continued economic uncertainty. Despite the depressed real estate market in 2011, Blue Pacific Realty was able to make the year one of its best--selling the Aurora Resort (former Okura Hotel) in Tumon to a Taiwanese group, the Guam Sanko Transportation building along Marine Corp Drive to Security Title, and the Lamlam Tours building (former Tsang Brothers location) also along Marine Corp Drive to Reliable Builders. The total value of properties Blue Pacific Realty was able to sell for its clients that year was over $30,000,000. Today, Blue Pacific Realty serves a wide range of client needs with a 15-member team of  experienced Associate Brokers and Real Estate Agents.  We are located on the second floor, Suite 202, of the Photo Town Plaza Building in Tamuning.  Give us a call or stop in for a visit.  We look forward to assisting you with all of your real estate needs!   COMPANY OBJECTIVES The objective of Blue Pacific Realty is to assist customers in all their real estate needs.

Guam is a tropical island located in the Western Pacific, approximately 3500 miles southwest of Hawaii. Guam is approximately 30 miles long and 12 miles at its widest point. As an unincorporated territory of the United Sates, Guam is a unique blend of Pacific and Western culture. The north of Guam is known for its white sand beaches, world class shopping, hotels and resorts while the south of Guam quietly hosts hikes and waterfalls, quaint villages, fiestas and maybe a carabao ride. The indigenous inhabitants of Guam are called Chamorros and account for approximately 37% of the island's population. While the core of Guam's culture is Chamorro, the diverse blend of people who call Guam home have enriched the island community. As a result, there is no place just like it. Guam is a unique blend of tropical, western and cosmopolitan. While Guam is a wealth of diversity, it is also rich with history; Chamorro burial sites date back almost 4000 years, the jungles hide ancient latte villages and historic structures from the Spanish occupation and most-recent relics from World War II can be seen throughout the island . Guam's climate is tropical. The weather is generally hot and very humid with little seasonal temperature variation. The mean high temperature is 86 °F (30 °C) and mean low is 76 °F (24 °C) with an average annual rainfall of 96 inches (2,180 mm). The dry season runs from December through June. The remaining months (July through November) constitute the rainy season. The months of January and February are considered the coolest months of the year with night time temperatures in the mid to low 70s and generally lower humidity levels.   Capital: Hagåtña Area: 209 sq miles (541.3 km²) Population: 182,111 (2011) World Bank Currency: United States dollar Official language: English Language, Chamorro Language Government: Presidential system, Representative democracy Religion: Predominantly Roman Catholic   References: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guam

PLAN YOUR MOVE Most rental vacancies occur during the summer months.  This is the period when military families, and local families usually depart Guam.  This is the prime period for moving, with thousands of properties flooding the market.  It's still possible to find a home year-round, but summer is the best time. KNOW THE MARKET It's important to know the going rates for the property type you desire.  Any landlord in the MLS will  be advised by their Agent to price their property at market price, and landlords usually want to stick to that price tag.  However, our Blue Pacific agents many times can negotiate them down.  With that being said though, its important for you to adjust your expectations for what is available on the market within your price range. KNOW YOUR BUDGET Beyond monthly rent, there are other fees which may come into play:  Common area fees, landscaping fees, pool cleaning, power, water, internet, cable TV, telephone, etc.  Each property has its own fee requirements.  Some landlords (for an extra fee) will cover some utilities for you (however they usually charge more than if you were to obtain it yourself).  A Blue Pacific Agent can work with you to help establish your monthly budget.
