The Reviews are In!

How do you know a good realtor from a subpar one?

By reading the reviews, of course! An accomplished real estate agent doesn’t make potential clients “take their word for it.” Good work speaks for itself, especially when it comes to helping someone buy or sell a house.

The following review was written by the most recent family to sell a house with Mark and Robyn’s help:

"Robyn and Mark were outstanding to deal with. We were in a tough situation selling a family home in Lahaina. The 6-hour difference in time could have made it difficult. Mark and Robyn understood the challenge. They were great throughout the process. Keeping us informed of showings and interest. Once we had an agreement, they even went over and above to facilitate the removal of some items we could not take with us. Even found a few family heirlooms we forgot we had. They took them to the other side of the island for us to be shipped. They did it all with a smile and outstanding customer service. Their knowledge of Maui is unmatched. I would highly, highly recommend Robyn and Mark."

Things to Keep in Mind When Purchasing Maui Property, Part 1

Do you dream of owning property on Maui?

Here are two things you should keep in mind when purchasing property on Maui:

Maui is different from the mainland.

Buying a home on an island 4,000 miles away is a little different than buying a home down the street! To be successful, you’ll need a Maui real estate agent. Your agent can inform you of the market, take you on virtual showings, work within the Maui time zone to get more accomplished, and help you finance through Hawaiian banks and walk you thru the entire buying process. 

There are lots of options! Choose the right location.

Are you looking for an ocean oasis, or a more country feel? What about land with acres to use however you want?

Where you buy not only affects the home’s current and future value, but it also affects your lifestyle. Your agent will be able to conduct a more targeted home search if you outline your preferences in neighborhoods and nearby amenities. Here’s a checklist of items you should consider and communicate to your real estate agent:

• What side of the island do you prefer to own? 
• Proximity to the airport
• Proximity to restaurants, shops, beaches 
• Health care facilities
• Golfing, hiking, beaches
• Length of time you plan to live in the home 

Maui has several desirable neighborhoods. Get a feel for each neighborhood by checking out the area pages at the bottom of our home page.

Things to Keep in Mind When Purchasing Maui Property, Part 2

Are you unsure what to expect when buying property on Maui?

Here are three things you should keep in mind when purchasing property on Maui:

There are multiple property types.

Maui features condo, single family home, land, investment property, and interval ownership types. While condos and homes may be straightforward, what you can do with land depends on the zoning, investment properties can allow for short-term rentals and require management, and every interval ownership has its terms and conditions. An agent can make sure you understand the requirements for each property. 

There are two types of land tenure.

There are two different forms of land tenure in Hawaii - leasehold and fee simple. If your property is fee simple, you own the property and the land it sits on, similar to real estate on the mainland. If your property is leasehold, however, you own the property but not the land and must pay the landowner lease rent. Also with leasehold, there‘s no guarantee the landowner will renew your lease at the end of the term.

What does financing look like?

We recommend getting pre-qualified with a Hawaiian lender rather than a bank on the mainland to make the process easier.  Sellers on Maui are more comfortable accepting from an offer based in Hawaii. Getting pre-qualified is the first step in owning a property in Hawaii if it is not a cash deal.

You’ll want to:

1. Contact your agent and they can connect you with several lenders, mortgage specialist to start the pre-qualification process. 
2. Fill out a loan application, get pre-qualified and eventually pre-approved
3. Once you are pre-qualified and know the amount, we can set you up to receive listings within your price point so you don’t miss out on any potential dream properties.
