Given the nature of West Maui’s high-profile resort real estate environment, it’s an easy question, or assumption to make, “everything costs a $1,000,000+.” And plainly put, I’m here to share that in some/many neighborhoods of West Maui, it absolutely does.

Additionally, if the $1M luxury mark is an indicator of real estate health of what’s to come in the market, what sort of condition are we in?

In this regular feature article, I breakdown the $1 & $3M+ luxury thresholds to give you a closer look and understanding of West Maui’s real estate sector through the multi-million dollar lens.

Jeff I remember you from an episode where you helped a young stressed police/ fire dispatcher find her Karma in a West Maui condo. Is she still there? I found that episode memorable because you portrayed yourself as 100% vested in making her happy . I’ll be back on Maui in March 2020

Hi Mike – Thanks for your message and appreciate the comments. That’s the truth and foundation of my business.
I am always vested in the client…it’s about them first, foremost and always! Stephanie still lives here on Maui and is happily enjoying the island with her now husband who also cameoed in that episode…and their fur babies). Enjoy your upcoming travels. If we can assist, feel free to reach out.
Aloha, JO
