Buying

Buying On Maui

A patient search, a straight read on every property, and one agent with you from offer to recording.

Why It Matters

On Maui The Rules Change Block By Block

Two properties a few streets apart can differ on rental permits, shoreline setbacks, association rules, water meters and insurance. A portal listing will not tell you any of that.

01

Island Knowledge

Twenty-six years of transactions from Kahului and Wailuku to Wailea, Paia and Upcountry.

02

Remote Buyers Welcome

Mainland and international clients are routine here, including video walkthroughs and remote signing.

03

Certified Negotiation Expert

Formal negotiation training applied to price, terms, repairs and timing.

The Process

How Buying Works

01

Consultation

Budget, timing and how you plan to use the property. First home, second home or investment changes everything that follows.

02

Curated Showings

A short list worth your trip, not every listing that technically fits the filter.

03

Offer And Negotiation

Price, terms, association documents and inspection items handled directly with the listing side.

04

Close

Escrow, title, inspections and financing coordinated through to recording.

FAQ

Buyer Questions

Q

Can I buy from the mainland?

Yes. Remote purchases are a regular part of the practice, with video walkthroughs, local inspectors and remote signing.

Q

Can I rent the property out?

It depends on the zoning, the association and the permit history, and it is the first thing checked before you write an offer.

Q

What is the entry point on Maui?

Right now Yvienne has a Kahului condominium listed at $169,000. Central Maui is usually where a first purchase starts.

Q

What does representation cost me?

Terms are discussed openly and put in writing before the first showing.
