Which of the following actions is permissible under Hawaii timeshare laws?

Under Hawaii timeshare laws, hiring an acquisition agent who does not hold a current real estate license would be permissible because acquisition agents perform specific functions that may not require a real estate license. They can assist in the process of acquiring interests in timeshares without necessarily holding a license, as long as their activities do not involve actions defined under the practice of real estate, such as negotiating the sale.

In contrast, representing timeshares as investments with value projections can lead to misleading information about the financial return potential, which is often regulated. Including waivers in reservation agreements is generally not permissible if it is intended to limit the rights of the purchasers in ways that are not compliant with consumer protection laws. Making promises of prizes before contracts are signed can also violate regulations intended to protect consumers from deceptive practices. Therefore, the hiring of an unlicensed acquisition agent, when in compliance with broader legal guidelines, is the most appropriate and permissible action under Hawaii timeshare laws.
