Wailea Palms 3201 | Client Success Stories

Wailea Palms 3201

Recently, something amazing happened that I've never seen in my real estate career, we were able to close a sale in 7 business days and with only 2 days on the market before accepting the full-price cash offer.  All in all, it was an 11-day escrow and 13 days on market. Not to mention it is now the highest-priced condo ever sold in Wailea Palms at $2.595M. The buyers had a very short timeline to close and move into a new property due to the expiration of their current lease and the sellers were willing to expedite the process to accommodate them. So, we committed to making this win-win situation happen. 

As realtors, we were challenged to create a drastically reduced timeline on the purchase contract…

The 21 Very Best Things To Do in Wailea Maui For 2024

Things to Do in Wailea Maui

When I moved to Maui in 2010, I made it my mission to explore all of the many great activities and things to do around the island. In fact, one of my first jobs on Maui before I became a Realtor, was working in the activity business selling all of the fun helicopter trips, luaus, snorkeling tours, etc. The main benefit of working in the activity business on Maui is, of course, the free adventures and getting to play tourist occasionally! 

Over several years in the activities industry, I had probably gone to about 20 luaus, been to Molokini about 10 times, been awe-inspired by every helicopter tour to Molokai and Haleakala several times, and personally experienced almost every single excursion…

ROAM Maui Offers Exclusive Luxury Air Travel 

Roam Maui

For those who travel frequently to Maui, the struggle of going through the whole traditional airport routine is real. Many of my clients and people I know travel to or from Maui regularly to enjoy wind sports, enjoy a second home, or for business.  Even if you have TSA Precheck and are flying First-Class, the airport can still be an unwelcome experience with the crowds and lines.

Until recently, the primary options for luxury travel between Maui or Hawaii and the continental United States were to fly on a private jet or with first-class accommodations on a commercial flight. While both of these options have benefits, they are also riddled with inconveniences and disadvantages that make them less than…

When It's Time To Sell Your Maui Home or Condo

Selling a Home or Condo on Maui

Making the decision to sell your home or condo isn’t always easy. Many times sellers are not selling because they really want to let go of the property.

In fact, it can actually be quite simple when you work with an experienced agent. In this article, I’m going to go over all of the steps of the selling process as they relate specifically to Maui as well as discuss a few of the key considerations sellers will…
