They provide a solution to any issue for myself or my guests, often within minutes or at the most 24 hours. They have connections to all the trades and can get a plumber, handyman etc over to my property often the same day, which is critical to keeping up the level of service I want for my guests. (Producing a repair person on the same day is no mean feat in the islands.) They are personable and professional, a pleasure to work with, and charge far less than a traditional property management company. I recommend them highly to any vacation rental owner.

The communication was also excellent--they responded quickly whenever I had questions or concerns. When I received my photos, I wasn't completely happy with all of them. Some of the angles were a little awkward, and I felt several photos needed additional retouching. I reached out to them, and they were very responsive. They happily retouched the photos I requested and even upgraded my photo package, which I really appreciated. Their willingness to make things right showed that they genuinely care about customer satisfaction. While I'd rate the photos themselves around 4 stars, I'd give their customer service 4.5 to 5 stars. Because they listened to my feedback, responded promptly, and worked with me to improve the final product, I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and friendly photography experience in Maui.

Was on vacation and wanted to tour ONE house on Maui.

When we asked for a revision, they still included the 3% commission for the property (even though the seller had already agreed to pay it). We were even told it would be 'against the law' to tour without signing -- but the written-agreement rule doesn't dictate those terms; they're all negotiable. At this point, we walked away--the trust had been broken. Your agent should be a partner and not an adversary. Know your rights and read every line of the Agreement.

They worked together to ensure both our brains and hearts were satisfied with our property. Our search for just the right place included many twists and turns, but we ended up very pleased with our purchase. Having viewed many properties with us, Lisa knew excactly what we were looking for. In fact, Lisa found a property that she knew we'd love, but we were unable to get to the island to see it. Because we trusted her expertise aand knowledge, as well as the photos she took, we bought it sight-unseen, something I'd never thought I'd do in my lifetime. We've happily recommended Lisa and Mark to our friends and continue to do so.

Because we live in California, it was not easy to check on the house and make sure it was secure. Mandy and her husband John made multiple visits to the property to check on it for us before we decided to list with her. They toured the property, took photos, and sent them to me promptly. They were incredibly reliable and capable. Mandy has a network of trusted people that she could turn to as the sale progressed. She proved to be an expert guide along every step of the way. It was a complicated property with many difficult aspects to consider, but Mandy handled every situation that arose with tact and grace. I'm extremely grateful to her and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

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.

We originally listed as fsbo…read moresince I had knowledge of real estate and had worked in the real estate industry for over 13 years but not as an agent. We hadn't even really considered using an agent until Max had brought a buyer to the table and was ready to make an offer on our place. Needless to say due to other circumstances with the buyer that offer fell through but Max was so pleasant, down to earth, professional, and great to work with just on that end we were sold on using him and having him list our home for sale. He is ALWAYS on top of everything and was in touch with us almost daily throughout the process. He listed our home and had us a buyer almost 3 weeks after listing. We had some snags with home inspection and survey along the way and Max was always on top of the situation and went above and beyond our expectations. Even with the snags he made the process seem so smooth even when emotions would run high. Whether you are buying or selling we HIGHLY recommend Max. For folks that were totally sold on not using an agent in the beginning he totally won us over and made it a pleasant experience. Thank you Max for all your hard work and diligence we greatly appreciate you! Ashley & Mike
