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 Operations Manager, Michele Feorene. His team runs like a well-oiled machine. For over a decade, Josh has been a top producing residential Realtor on Maui and was ranked #1 in 2023 in sales volume out of over 2,000 Realtors on Maui (Realtors Association of Maui), and #5 in the State in sales volume (Real Trends). 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 was recommended to us by our realtor in Michigan when we were ready to begin the process of moving to Maui. We didn’t realize at the time how that recommendation would set the tone for a seamless move. During that long process we talked with Josh many times and when we visited the island Josh arranged for us to see some of the homes being built in the subdivision of choice. That helped us to decide which model was right for us. He was able to answer a wide range of questions from the average monthly cost of water to the best, moderately priced golf courses in the area. Josh helped us to feel comfortable with our move from the mainland and in settling into our new home. We would recommend Josh without hesitation!
A real professional in terms of knowing the market and understanding buyer goals with large lots in Maui. We are selling estate lots along the ocean on Maui's north shore at Pe'ahi Farms near Paia, Ho'okipa and the world famous Jaws surf spot. Josh has a very good understanding of the types of buyers looking for these rare ocean side lots.
