I am very happy to be the Maui Broker-In-Charge for Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers, which enables me to both: (1) represent my Buyer and Seller clients in the purchase and sale of Maui properties; and (2) assist the many outstanding Hawaii Life agents we have on Maui with their contracts, escrows, and training in my role as their broker. For multiple years, I've been in the top 3% of Maui Realtors in terms of sales volume, and have been a Hawaii Business Magazine Top Performer. We have an outstanding team on Maui, and I am very happy to be here.
While growing up in Southern California, my family always looked forward to vacations on Maui. My parents would bring us over once or twice a year, and every single one of those vacations felt too short. I never imagined that I would wind up living on Maui, and after living here now for over 23 years, I know I will never call anyplace else home.
I graduated from the University of San Diego in 1987, where I majored in accounting and played on the U.S.D. Men's golf team for four years. After graduating, I worked as a C.P.A. for Coopers & Lybrand, in Newport Beach, California. In 1993, I graduated from Boston College Law School, after which I practiced law in Southern California with the law firm of Keesal, Young & Logan. I specialized in business litigation, and later switched to corporate law. After practicing law for eight years, I was ready for a change. I wanted to be able to spend more time with my kids, William and Katie, and to do things like coach their teams, attend their school functions, and have more family time. A few years earlier, my parents had moved to Maui to start a family real estate brokerage, and in 2001, we decided to join my folks on Maui, where a couple years later I became the principal broker at Simon Properties. In 2012, my Dad and I decided to join Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers, where it has been a perfect fit. I specialize in South Maui real estate sales, with my primary focus in Wailea, Makena, and South Kihei, while helping the other Hawaii Life agents in my role as broker-in-charge of Maui.
My kids are now adults -- my son William attended Seattle University and is now living in Los Angeles, and my daughter Katie graduated from Santa Clara University and is now living in the Portland area -- BUT they always love coming home to Maui. I can't imagine ever living anyplace else.

What my clients are saying...
We first met Jeff at an open house, and subsequently purchased two Maui properties and later sold one of them with Jeff's assistance. Jeff is very knowledgeable about the market, has a low-pressure approach, and was very patient in helping us narrow our search to our price range and lifestyle. He always gave us his honest opinion about properties, both positive and negative, and steered us away from less desirable properties and toward properties that had better features. He gave us excellent advice about making offers and counter offers to ensure we got the property we wanted and the price we wanted to pay.
We met Jeff many years ago at an open house and were immediately impressed with his interest in finding what WE wanted, not just trying to sell us that condominium. Since then Jeff represented us in the purchase of three properties on Maui, as well as the sale of another. Jeff is honest, works hard on behalf of his clients, and is easy to talk to . . . he actually listens to what you are saying. We appreciate that Jeff always takes the time needed to select and preview properties to make sure they meet our requirements prior to showing them to us. He has always made our transactions easy by negotiating our offers and counter offers with sellers, handles all of the details such as arranging and being present for property inspections, requesting needed documents, and assisting with changes to documents.
We trust Jeff and value his opinions. We highly recommend Jeff to our closest friends without hesitation.
