Not only is he my go to realtor but now is also a friend for life. He listens to your criteria, has your best interests at heart and will bend over backwards to assist in whatever way is needed. I would not trust my real estate dealings to anyone else on Maui. He's dedicated and it clearly shows that he not only loves his job but he cares for his clients.

When we started looking for our first home we could not have been more indecisive about what we…read morewanted. Josh Feyen turned out to be the most adaptable, comprehensive, and patient real estate agent we could have asked for. Not only did he tolerate our indecision, he acted as a guide to the real estate industry as a whole. We knew we wanted something we could build equity in, Josh's experience as a general contractor was invaluable in assessing a houses value and potential for remodel. He meet us to look at every house we requested and did the research to show us potential houses as soon as they were up for sale. He even found us another agent for the one week he was unavailable while his daughter was being born. We ended up buying our place after seeing it the first day on the market. After three months under Josh's expert guidance we knew the place was a gem as soon as we saw it. Beyond his impeccable professionalism Josh is just a regular decent human being. And as a bonus, he's as straight forward and charming as Drew Scott from Property Brothers, but without the annoying smirk. It was such a pleasure working with Josh, we even had him and his family for dinner at our new place once we settled in. I recommend him for first time buyers like us, and for anybody who needs to know that they can trust their real estate agent from the get-go.

Josh Feyen is an outstanding realtor, who comes with our highest recommendation. We had a…read morerelatively complex purchase scenario involving a 1031 exchange in a very tough buyer's market on Maui. This was our first 1031 exchange and we didn't know much about real estate in Hawaii. Josh took the time to walk us through the details and important decision points before we committed to moving forward to searching for properties. It felt more like getting advice from a trusted friend rather than a business relationship. Once we got to the point of searching for properties, Josh was both creative and strategic in helping us find our condo. When we identified the property and were under contract, Josh and his team were incredibly organized as we made our way to closing. He provided a step-by-step checklist with key milestone dates. Nothing was a surprise, and everything happened right on schedule. Josh has that perfect combination of subject matter expertise and customer service that make him an ideal agent. We highly recommend Josh and would absolutely work with him again in the future.

We used Pete Jalbert to purchase our home in Kihei, and strongly recommend him! Pete went above and…read morebeyond researching the permits and zoning of houses we considered, was always on time for appointments, and drove across the island on short notice more than once. My husband found him after a friend of his (a real estate agent from the mainland) vetted many potential agents for us. Our friend told us he knew Pete was the perfect agent for us because he focused on details, made decisions based on data, and wasn't fixated on making the sale over finding the right property for the client. In a market like Maui, where options are limited and it can feel like compromise is a necessary evil, Pete's willingness to recommend against offers is crucial. Pete never encouraged us to overbid and was always honest about the negative qualities of properties we viewed. If anything, he may at times be too cautious, and is always under promising and over delivering. If you're looking for an honest, smart, and reliable agent, look no further! We have kept in touch and he has continued to provide valuable guidance after we closed on our home.

We've just sold our home through Billy Jalbert and the Maui Real Estate Team! The process was…read moresmooth and relatively stress-free thanks to the skills of Billy and his brother Pete, two of the nicest and most sincere people we know. The transaction was handled professionally and calmly with attention to detail, and our house sold in a very short period of time in the current market, just over three months. We chose the Maui Real Estate Team because we had bought our house through Billy when we came to Maui in 2005, and we found him to be a good fit for us with his calmness, honesty, helpful attitude, and his knowledge of Maui. At that time, he listened carefully and showed us just the homes (only two) that he thought could work for us after carefully listening to our wants and asking lots of questions. Billy was able to guide us to the house (a two acre property in Huelo) that had exactly what we were looking for, with the quiet, the acreage and the feel that we sought. That transaction had some moments of trepidation when we and the owners could not agree on important details and we were afraid of the deal falling through, but Billy was steady and encouraging and we were able to come to a good agreement that suited both parties. When it came time for us to sell the house it was clear to us whom we wanted to represent us, and again Billy listened to our concerns, gave practical suggestions on pricing and marketing, indicated realistic expectations on how homes were selling in the slow housing market, and offered his understanding and empathy. He listened to our needs and he offered strategies based on these, then did all he could to assure that the house was noticed by buyers. As we said, our house sold in a timely fashion and we were able to move on to where we were going. The few points of contention in the deal were smoothed over by Billy's handling of phone calls and emails (always done promptly and professionally) with the buyer's realtor, the title company, a real estate lawyer, inspectors and more. We unhesitatingly recommend the Maui Real Estate Team when buying or selling a home on Maui. Sincerely, Anudeva (Roger) Stevens and Hanna Hammerli

Dave Futch has stood the test of time and difficult transactions in being a knowledgeable…read moresupportive agent. He has also been exceptionally available in terms of communication with all the important and time-sensitive aspects of escrow as a first-time home buyer.

We stayed at a vacation rental run by Kokua Realty and it was absolutely awful. The only good thing…read moreabout this place was the location of the property. But everything else was terrible. 1. They changed our check in time without informing us in advance. The original booking stated that check-in was at 3 pm. Sometime between when we booked and paid for this reservation, Kokua Realty deactivated the listing and started a new one. The new listing had a later check in time. When we arrived to Maui, we tried contacting Kokua Realty and no one responded until night time. We ended up wasting time and frozen groceries. 2. Giant cockroaches in the laundry room. 3. The microwave didn't work and half the outlets in the house didn't work. No one came to fix this issue until our second night. Then, by the next morning, the microwave was broken again. 4. The refrigerator and freezer were cycling on and off and we didn't realize this until it was too late. We ended up with more spoiled food and a few people with food poisoning. 5. Poor communication. You can see in the photos I attached that Kokua Realty NEVER responded to any of our inquiries or issues. l even called every number on the listing several times and left voicemails with no returned calls. 6. We were unable to refer to our original reservation because they "deactivated" the reservation. So we had a hard time checking to see what amenities were in the house including iron/ironing board, towels, etc. When we tried to ask them, no one responded. I brought all these issues up to their attention during and after our stay with no response. I requested a partial refund through AirBnB, still no response from Kokua Realty. Overall, DO NOT RENT A VACATION RENTAL FROM KOKUA REALTY. You will end up wasting your money and ruining your vacation.
