Having sold and purchased many homes in my life time from New York, California, and hawaii I think I can speak from experience when I say Josh Jerman is unquestionably the best realtor I have had the good fortune to work with. Josh is a true professional. Always maintaining the aloha spirit for both the buyer and seller while completing a sale or purchase. Should there be another sale or purchase in my life time , there is no doubt that Josh Jerman will be my realtor.
Josh, was a welcoming and experienced force in our purchase of a home on Maui. He was certainly the trusted advisor that guided us in the right direction! Josh was incredibly patient and kind as we fumbled our way through different communities and houses, finally landing on the Westside after an extensive search around the island. He also was a great friend through the process introducing us to other families and inviting us to several events where we were able to become a part of the community. We own the perfect home and Ohana thanks to Josh!
