Haley DeForest

Born and raised on Maui, my love for my home fuels my commitment to helping others find their place here on the island. I believe that finding the right home on Maui is about more than just owning real estate—it’s about embracing the way of life, culture, and natural beauty that make this place truly special.

I joined Hawai‘i Life because its core values of authenticity, connection, and a deep love for the islands align perfectly with my own. It’s a 100% locally owned and operated brokerage that only focuses on Hawai’i, which I really resonate with. With their trusted reputation, powerful network, and modern marketing strategies, I’m able to give my clients the kind of service and support they deserve.

Before committing fully to my real estate journey, I proudly served the local community for eight years as an acute care Registered Nurse at Maui Memorial Medical Center. I was also a board member of the Hawai‘i–American Nurses Association, the professional organization representing nurses across the state.

Having worked in a fast-paced, high-pressure clinical environment taught me the importance of listening, problem-solving, and advocating for those in my care. The nursing values of integrity, trust, and compassionate service are principles I now carry with me into the world of real estate.
Beyond real estate and nursing, I can be found paddling, cooking for my family and friends, or enjoying sunshine on the beach. With a heart for service and a love of the island, I am dedicated to helping people find their dream homes and sharing the amazing lifestyle Maui has to offer.
