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

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.

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 had an issue with our wifi and our initial email was responded to within minutes and every email after that was responded within a minute. I was shocked by the quick response time! Soon enough, he made his way out to the property and started to fix the issue for us. He escalated the issue with the service provider and did all he could and more for us.
