Maui Home Buyer's Tips and Tools

I truly enjoy working with buyers and finding that property that is the perfect fit. My role is to help you understand the process, help you negotiate the best possible terms, and make the process hassle free.

  • Understanding the Process:  I am here to guide you through the process--from negotiations, to managing the escrow, inspections and contingencies.  The purchase process here on Maui differs from many markets. For example, here are a few ways buying on Maui might be different than in other areas:
    • Our bureau of conveyances is on Oahu.  That means all documents and all buyer/lender funds must be received two business days prior to closing.
    • We close at recordation.
    • We are an escrow state--a local title and escrow company acts as a neutral third party to collect and disburse funds.  The title department researches the chain of title to the property and then issues title insurance.
  • My goal is to help you:
    • Negotiate the best possible terms and best possible price
    • Improve your knowledge of the area and the market conditions
    • Provide you with the contact information of trusted mortgage brokers, attorneys, inspectors and contractors for you to interview
    • Find your dream property
    • Make the process of Buying on Maui hassle free
