Greg Burns

REALTOR SALESPERSON

One of the first things clients say about me? I’m all in! It’s a reputation I’ve earned with close to 20 years in Hawai‘i real estate, helping people find their place here. My approach is calm, strategic, and focused on empowering people with the knowledge to navigate these life-changing moments. Based on Maui, I service the entire state, working on a wide range of residential and luxury properties and have closed several hundred million in sales.

My work is shaped around my knowledge of high-end residential construction, my deep connections in the real estate industry, as well as my keen understanding of how to utilize proptech. This perspective adds value in everything from design insight and pricing strategy to the tools and technology I use to support my clients.

The goal is simple: to make my client the most informed person in the room when it matters most. I try to keep things straightforward, clear, and grounded—so clients feel well-advised, even when the decisions are big or the details are complex. I take a lot of pride in going the extra mile together with my clients and I genuinely love the process. Whether we’re working through a unique transaction or navigating the nuances of a neighborhood or the community itself, I aim to bring steady guidance and smart strategy to every step.

I stay curious. I pay attention to what’s happening in other markets, what’s working and what’s shifting, adapting it to fit the way people live, work, sell, and buy in Hawai‘i. I thrive on finding innovative solutions and applying strategies beyond the traditional playbook when it comes to helping my clients reach their goals.

One of my proudest accomplishments is being an active board member of UVSC, a nonprofit that provides care and community for cancer patients across the islands.

I was raised on the beaches of Laguna Beach, and being in the water—surfing, paddling, or just staying connected to the ocean—has always been second nature. Maui has been home for close to 20 years now, where I live with my wife and family.

I joined Hawai‘i Life because of the way this company works. Locally rooted, design-forward, and community-driven—these qualities align with how I’ve always approached the work.

Aloha,
Greg

What my clients are saying...

Just bought a home from Greg Burns on Maui. I live in California and have never lived in Hawaii, so this was an extra difficult process. Greg made it easy, was a great negotiator, and also made it FUN! Buying a house has never been a joy in my past – yet he made it fun.

He was the first realtor that actually made a commitment to sell our Kapalua investment property in a given period of time that even we felt was aggressive! Guess what? He did! Not only had multiple offers presented, but also once we were under contract, took a backup contract in the event the contracted buyer fell through.
