Courtney M. Brown		Heidi Dollinger		Krisy Howe

A client-centered philosophy combined with local knowledge and global reach

Aloha!

As a fifth-generation Kama'aina, I was born here on Maui and grew up in the small Upcountry town of Makawao. I am grateful that my education has taken me to San Francisco, Massachusetts and London, and that I've had the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world.

A graduate of Smith College, I initially returned home to Maui to be with my family and work as a crisis counselor at a local shelter. I grew interested in real estate, and began my career in 1997.

The relationships I have formed with my clients over the years are some of the most wonderful and important in my life. I enjoy this profession immensely--it allows me to use my knowledge of the island and the nuances of living in various areas and communities to fulfill my clients' lifelong dreams of living in Paradise.

The hallmark of my approach is a client-first philosophy. Behind this philosophy is in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, integrity, and effective negotiation skills (view testimonials). Over the years, I have built a high-quality professional network, including lenders, home inspectors, appraisers, rental program managers, and more.

In order to best serve my sellers, I take a team approach, working with Heidi Dollinger and Krisy Howe. We have found that, by working together, there is always someone available 365 days a year to show our listings.

Heidi Dollinger joined my team and Island Sotheby's International Realty in 2018. Her thoughtful approach in presenting homes to the market and her understanding and ability to communicate the unique value proposition of each real estate opportunity sets her apart. Her dedication and commitment are values that have served her through her life, and are reflected in her work with her clients.

Krisy Howe comes from an extensive background working with one of Maui's premier property management companies, overseeing high end rentals across West Maui. She brings a wealth of knowledge about rental properties and incredible customer service.

I am pleased to work with Island Sotheby's International Realty. I am thrilled to be a part of the Sotheby's International Realty network, and to be partnered with an organization that is known for representing the finest luxury real estate here on Maui and around the world. Prior to my affiliation with Sotheby's I worked with Kapalua Realty for nearly twelve years. In my career in real estate, I have represented Buyers and Sellers of some of the finest in Resort, Golf Course, Oceanfront and Oceanview properties that Maui has to offer.

I have served as a board member for the Realtor's Association of Maui as both the West Maui Regional Director and as a Director at Large, and volunteered on our Wishing Well project. My service on the Realtor's Association of Maui Board and Community Foundation have provided me with valuable information on the market and the community. In 2014, I received the honor of Realtor (S) of the Year from the Realtor's Association of Maui, which is an honor that can only be achieved once in your career. I have been ranked amongst Hawaii Business Magazine's Top 100 Realtors in the State of Hawaii, Maui's Top 3%, and to REAL Trends America's Best Real Estate Agents.

So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell property in Maui, I hope you will contact me and my team. A summary of my services follows below.

I look forward to working with you!

Mahalo,
Courtney

MAUI Buyers' Representation

As your Buyer's Representative, my goal is to provide you with the in depth, local knowledge you need to make the process of buying a property here on Maui enjoyable and hassle-free. Many of my clients live on the mainland, and I serve as an on island guide throughout the transaction, attending inspections, monitoring the escrow, and taking care of any issues that might arise.

For Buyers, there are many nuances and factors to consider in choosing the right property. I enjoy showing the various neighborhoods and communities that make Maui a unique place, and provide information on market history and local resources including lenders, escrow companies, and more. If you share with me your requirements and preferences in a property, I will cull through the MLS to find those that best suit your needs and wishes, and provide you with a customized report.

Once you've found a place that catches your eye, we'll look at comparable properties in the area to help determine a purchase offer. Then we'll negotiate on your behalf with the seller's broker to make sure you get the most favorable terms.

It's my job to look after your best interests, and I will do so at no cost to you as a buyer.

You can also refer to our Buyer's Guide for helpful tools and buying advice, whether a new buyer or buying from off island. If you'd like to receive MLS listing alerts to keep an eye on the market, register for this free and confidential service. To start your search right away, please contact us.

We had wanted to make Maui our home for years, so when we got serious about it, we spent a week house hunting with the intention to make an offer before going home. Our first day we met and decided to work with Courtney Brown. And oh my, how lucky we are to have found her! Since she has lived her whole life on the island, she is extremely knowledgeable about local resources and properties all over the island, and especially in West Maui where we wanted to be. Her intelligent, calm and caring manner along with a keen sense of how to work with people, enabled her quickly to get to know us and what we wanted. Despite a busy schedule, she was able to make herself available right away to show us numerous properties that first afternoon. We were excited and nervous, yet she skillfully guided us through all of the questions and concerns we had about properties we viewed. She also introduced us to a community we didn't know, and it turned out to be perfect for us. We went through some offer negotiations, and thanks to Courtney's wisdom and astute sense of the market and us, our final offer on THE house of our dreams was accepted on Friday..just five days later! We are eternally grateful to Courtney for her professionalism and ability to turn us into home owners on Maui. Courtney has our highest recommendation, and we believe you will be well served by selecting her as your real estate agent on Maui.

We have used Courtney as our agent for three real estate transactions in Kapalua over the past few years--both when buying and selling our condos. She is very knowledgeable about the local market, strives to understand the needs of her clients, identifies potential properties that meet those needs, and offers excellent guidance as to price and other important factors to be considered. Courtney is an honest and dedicated professional who works extremely well with her clients by establishing strong relationships with them. As a result, we heartily recommend her if you are considering either purchasing or selling a home on Maui.

Courtney's the best agent we've ever had. She came highly recommended by our astute friends, but boy were we WOW'd! What we expected was an incredibly smart, professional, detail-oriented, super-likeable real estate agent. What we found was all that AND a warm, caring, sweet soul. From beginning to end, Courtney made the process of selecting, negotiating, and purchasing our vacation home in Kapalua a pure pleasure. She always offered detailed knowledge with absolutely no personal bias, even when we sought it. In retrospect, I think Courtney's exceptional talent comes from the fact that she's a gifted and caring listener. She really cares that you find exactly what you want (down to the last detail), and she takes great care in making the process nothing less than wonderful.

I have worked closely with Courtney as both a selling and buying agent. Her knowledge of the real estate market is second to none. Further, her ability to understand what I was looking for helped her structure her assistance to mirror my expectations. She also was concise in her appraisal of what I could expect during the transactions. I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone that wants to deal with a real estate agent with unrivaled knowledge and integrity,

We worked with Courtney over a three-year period purchasing two villas at The Ridge at Kapalua. Courtney's in depth knowledge of the market plus her intelligence and thorough follow through made her an invaluable part of both transactions. We refer to Courtney as our secret weapon because having her representing us gave us confidence in pursuing both purchases. While we have absolute trust in Courtney's advice and counsel, she also provided tools for us to make our own independent analysis and judgment. She was patient and helpful in all we asked of her. We could not be more positive in recommending Courtney to others either buying or selling real estate in the West Maui market.
