With deep roots in the ocean lifestyle, Maui is more than just my home. My father, John Severson, an artist, devoted surfer, and founder of Surfer Magazine, took our family on epic surf trips and Swiss Family Robinson-style journeys through the South Pacific on the quest for the perfect wave ..I'll always remember taking a ship over from California to settle on Maui in the early '70s, to paint and surf… I enjoyed a bohemian childhood, attending Haleakala school and Seabury Hall.

After graduating in Communications from UCSD, I moved to Paris (opposite of Maui!), where I lived and worked for 9 years, eventually becoming the Art Buyer for Yves Saint Laurent, although I would return home to Maui every year. In 2003 I moved back as I finally realized my dad had the vision: Maui is the amazing spot we have all been searching for.

Usually my family lives in Puamana, Lahaina, on the West side of Maui where we surf, paint, swim and enjoy life in our island home. Although we are currently evacuated due to the fires; living in Napili. I run the family textile biz where we design aloha shirts for Sun Surf in Japan and Kahala in Honolulu. Sevo ended his planetary journey on Maui in May of 2017 and my mother, Louise, an accomplished designer of beautiful textiles, splits her time between Napili and Spreckelsville.

I am honored to be a part of the Hawaii Life 'Ohana, Hawaii's most innovative real estate team. My membership in Forbes Global Properties connects luxury home sellers with the extraordinary 133 million monthly visitors to Forbes’ digital platform. Imua!

What my clients are saying...

We highly recommend Anna whether you're looking to buy or sell property on Maui. She is well connected in the local community and brings a mainland work ethic to get the job done. From start to finish, Anna was well organized, professional and worked tirelessly to get our property sold. It's such an emotional process but with Anna's kind and patient demeanor, it seemed effortless. My husband is a real estate broker on the mainland and therefore a pretty tough critic. To hire a real estate agent to sell your property when you're thousands of miles away can be a leap of faith but rest assured, Anna will work hard for you. We couldn't be more pleased with the transaction.

Showing a property and showing how to meet the particular person or family's needs is the key to giving that customer the life that they have dreamed about for maybe a year or 30 years... Well that was the greatest choice I ever made because Anna was the most professional real estate person that I have ever met in my entire life. I graduated in finance and real estate and my father was a real estate agent all of his life and this lady did everything and beyond when the other players in the transaction dropped the ball, she picked it up and carried it across the goal line. It was a very complicated contract because of my multiple businesses and international businesses but she cut through that and made everyone understand exactly what was going on with my personal assets and income to get the deal done. I am already in negotiation for another property For 10 million dollars with Anna because she is probably the best real estate agent in all of Maui and if anybody wants to call me or asked me I will explain in detail the amount of effort she did on every part of this transaction which was Very complex and she did it professionally with a great positive attitude and a great knowledge of all the real estate in Maui. Her Family is one of the legends and mainstays of the history of the Hawaii.

I’m having trouble putting this on the Zillow thing because maybe it’s too many words I don’t know but I guess they’re a bunch of butt heads how can I get this out on Zillow so it tells about the experience I had with you. What should I do should I put this on the website? ... you are the oracle of real estate on Maui.
