I felt her sincere support and aloha, cheering me on to achieve my dream of home ownership. She is highly ethical, honest, upstanding and creative and left no stone unturned. She also helped me with my refinance years later when I was going through a family crisis and treated me as a dear friend while facilitating a smooth process due to her incredible professionalism and experience. This is why Creative Financial is the best mortgage company on Maui!

The team at Creative Financial is incredible. Even when I encountered a couple of "bumps in the…read moreroad" they made sure to help me through the entire process without any worries. The team is professional, proficient, and very well educated on what they do. Being a first-time home buyer, I was extremely stressed and confused by what to expect and what was happening a majority of the time. Kellie and her team explained everything to me and made sure I was on time with all my deadlines. Not only is this team extremely good at what they do, but they are also very personable and happy to help at all times. Creative Financial is the perfect name for this team because they are very creative and think outside of the box when it comes to "bumps in the road". I am so pleased with their assistance and dedication to helping make this process seamless for me. I would like to also add, while there is a pandemic going on, Kellie and her team did everything they could to follow COVID guidelines to keep my family and I safe. I have and will continue to recommend Kellie and her team to everyone I know that is buying a home. I can't thank Creative Financial enough.

I just wanted to add that she is such a helpful resource even after the home purchase process. She is extremely supportive and helpful in answering ALL sorts of home-related things here in Maui.

After 2.5-3 months of tedious interaction with this lender, I can honestly say she is one of the…read moremost rude and incompetent lenders I've ever worked with. I have purchased 3 homes in the past and have never had such an awful interaction with a lender or broker. After she failed to get approval for a loan in February I was forced to get a hard money loan. She has failed, once again, and has put me through undo stress and has abused me both verbally and in emails writing things like "I've never had someone take so long to do the things I've asked for." Well, after repeatedly trying to please this awful human being to get her the things she needed, I went with another lender and had everything they needed for approval to them in one day! The other lender was also familiar with this woman, and laughed when I told them the story, stating "she tried to get me to hire her, but there have been too many bad reports about her, so I refuse!" If this actually makes it onto the reviews, as I see she only posts 5 star reviews, I warn you---DO NOT USE THIS LENDER. CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE!

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

She helped to answer every question I had and show me every little detail when buying site unseen. Not only that, but Jessica went above and beyond for us in many different ways (like helping to coordinate painting and even receiving packages for me) that has been SUPER helpful. I also really appreciate how organized she is and on top of things. I'm extremely busy and I just felt like everything was being handled and I had her reminders and she is ON TOP of it all!!!
