Bringing a successful record of 20 years of real estate sales on Maui, Josh Jerman has distinguished himself as both a rising star and industry leader in Hawaii real estate. This should come as no surprise, as he has proven time and time again that the market may change, but ambition never does.
Josh's team includes two salespartners, Tim Stice, R(B) and Rich Wu, R(S), as well as Executive Assistant, Tammie Matsuura, and Operations Manager, Kyle Bejar. His team runs like a well-oiled machine and ranked as Hawaii's #1 small team by sales volume in 2020 with sales of
$75,628,500 (Real Trends) and surpassed $150,000,000 in sales in 2021. For over a decade, Josh has been a top producing residential Realtor on Maui and was ranked #3 in 2022 and #1 in 2023 in sales volume out of over 2,000 Realtors on Maui (Realtors Association of Maui). Josh has adapted to the changes in both the real estate market as well as the industry, by incorporating systems and team members to represent luxury real estate, new project sales, as well as short sales and bank-owned inventory (REOs).
Raised in Upcountry Maui, Josh attended Baldwin High School before heading to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. There, he graduated cum laude with two bachelor's degrees, one in International Relations of the Asia-Pacific Region and the other in Comparative Religion. He has traveled the world (23 countries and counting), and has lived in Indonesia, Nepal and Scotland. He has hiked to Machu Picchu and to Mount Everest's Base Camp, canoed the Amazon River and swam in the Ganges, sailed in the South Pacific, trekked in the North Pole and touched the Great Wall of China. Throughout his adventures, Josh developed an appreciation, awareness and respect for all people, an experience that inspired him to give back to his community.
Josh returned to Maui to start his career, and over the years, he has earned a solid reputation for professionalism and personal integrity. His hard work and success has not gone unnoticed. Josh has been recognized by Pacific Business News as one of the 'Top 40 Under Forty' professionals in the State of Hawai'i.

What my clients are saying...
Josh has helped 3 generations in my family with home and land sales on Maui and he has been a pleasure to work with each time. Josh has been instrumental in helping to find the right properties, make the best deals, and get over financing hurdles. He goes beyond the call to close the sales, even so far as to go out on a Sunday to do last minute house repairs before an inspection! If you need help with real estate on Maui, work with Josh - you won't be disappointed!
My husband and I were lucky to have Josh as our agent in buying our new home. It was a complicated sale involving special arrangements with the sellers. Josh has handled the sale very professionally, addressed our concerns adeptly, and brought the deal to the finish line despite many obstacles. When we had concerns and needed to change our title officer, Josh responded quickly, gave us excellent advice, and provided the solution promptly within a few hours literally in the middle of the night. As we had multiple back and forth with the sellers given the nuances and complicated nature of the sale, Josh listened to our concerns closely, promptly provided us with information in great detail, advised us on the pros and cons, and quickly executed our decisions.
He met us many times over the phone and in person, as long as we needed, walked us through the property multiple times, listened to our questions and concerns closely, and promptly offered and executed on solutions. Josh is not only professional and great at his work, he is also personal and a wonderful person to get to know and work with. We spent many hours with Josh and really enjoyed our times together. My husband and I have worked with numerous agents selling and buying our homes over the years. Josh is the best and by a large margin. We would be more than delighted to work with Josh again when the opportunities come and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs the service.
