Leslie Mackenzie Smith

Born and raised near Seattle, WA, I set out in 1981 on what was meant to be a one-year adventure to Maui. Forty-three years later, I’m still here – and very proud to call this incredible island home.
Over the course of 35 years as a full-time, top-producing REALTOR®️, I have earned the respect of my clients and peers, becoming an integral part of the local real estate community. My vast knowledge of the island and sincere love of the business have enabled me to help hundreds of families and investors live the dream of property ownership on the Valley Isle. My clients include Maui residents, as well as mainland and international buyers and sellers.
A married mother of four girls, I am officially an empty nester now that my twin daughters have left home to attend Gonzaga University. My spare time is spent enjoying sunset walks, taking spin classes at the gym, and training for marathons. In my work with non-profit organizations like Maui on Stage, I also have a chance to give back to the community that has been so good to me.
I am dedicated to delivering the highest level of service to my clients and having fun along the way! I look forward to the opportunity to put my Maui real estate insight and expertise to work for you – and more importantly, I look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful island.

Leslie has represented me in the purchase of 5 properties: 4 condos and one SFH, all in Kihei and the most recent in 2021. In addition to the 4 areas rated above, Leslie shines on follow-through and support AFTER the purchase. In my most recent purchase there were issues regarding grandfather status of the property for short term rental potential. Leslie was able to obtain critical documents supporting the grandfather status and made sure that all legal and regulatory items were in place for STR. Leslie also has excellent relationships with contractors, sub-contractors, Maui county, property managers, etc. She is truly a full service agent. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Leslie is the best realtor we’ve ever had! She is very efficient, responds quickly, and very knowledgeable. Within an hour of meeting her, we already got a sense that she is an expert in her field! Without her guidance, we wouldn’t have gotten our Maui dream home. She goes above and beyond her duty to make sure the home buying process is as smooth as it can be. We highly recommend her to anyone needing an excellent realtor.
