Hawaii Real Estate Salesperson Vocabulary Game

Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.

There are 4 games built on 20 HI Real Estate terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.

OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Hawaii Real Estate Commission (HIREC) / PSI Examination Services content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.

The Hawaii salesperson exam has 130 scored questions: 80 national (uniform) questions and 50 state-specific questions. There are also 5–10 unscored experimental questions that are not identified. You must score at least 70% on each portion independently. PSI gives the exam at test centers in Honolulu, Kahului, Kailua-Kona and Kapaa, or by remote proctoring, with a 4-hour time limit (150 minutes for the national portion and 90 minutes for the state portion).

Hawaii has several distinctive features: (1) leasehold property is very common, especially on Oahu, where buyers pay ground rent to a landowner rather than owning the land outright; (2) HARPTA requires buyers to withhold 7.25% of the sales price from nonresident sellers for state income tax; (3) Hawaii charges a conveyance tax on all property transfers based on tiered rates; (4) the state land use system classifies all land as Urban, Rural, Agricultural, or Conservation; and (5) Special Management Areas (SMAs) along the coast require special permits.
