ZillowVERIFIEDWhen working with Jessica and Chris you are part of the team. It is a conversation from the very beginning to the closing. Starting with the price, when to list, how to counter and get to the sale of ur home. Jessica is very organized, giving you friendly reminders of the termite inspection, the land survey etc. but chris is always aEURoeyou dont have to worry about thataEUR? aEURoe it is fineaEUR?. Having both of them is a great combination of strengths. We will miss talking with them on a daily basis. They are awesome.

ZillowVERIFIEDToday is closing day! I finally bought the home of my dreams in Wailuku! I met Christopher Barca many years ago. In fact, he helped me try to buy a place 14 or 15 years ago, but it didnt work out because of my finances. For years, I dreamt of home ownership, and he was always available when I had questions. He encouraged me to be proactive and never give up. I never felt pressured or like I was annoying him. Naturally, when the opportunity arose for me to take action this year, he was my first call. He is so well liked and respected amongst his peers. He got me everything I wanted and more. He was a strong advocate and honored my wishes when I decided not to be difficult with the seller. He masterfully helped me navigate something I knew nothing about and made me feel empowered, confident, and well informed. Every fear or concern I had was quickly met with a calm confidence that reassured me that everything was ok. I didnt think this was possible but Chris knew how to pull it off effortlessly. He took on all the worry so I didnt have to. It was a relaxing pleasant experience for me. I cant say enough good things about Christopher Barca. Believe it when everyone says hes the best Realtor on Maui!

ZillowVERIFIEDI just completed the somewhat tricky sale of my home, with Christopher as my agent. I'm enthusiastically giving 5 stars because of the professional and respectful quality of his representation, and because of his interpersonal skills. I would absolutely work with him again, or recommend him to friends or family in need of an agent. Here are some of the highlights for me, of working with him: At our first meeting, he laid out some very interesting ideas that showed he was thinking specifically about my property, and where it sat in the overall market. I felt he saw the worth, and knew just how to present it. Outstanding photography! It was very well thought out and allowed my property's best attributes to quietly speak for themselves. He has consistently found the sweet spot between keeping me informed of activity/inactivity regarding the interest of potential buyers, both specific to my listing, and of the market in general. I never felt abandoned, nor did I ever feel harassed. I found him to be an excellent and experienced negotiator, with a good feel for when to ask for something, when to grant requests, and how to combine the two in an artful way so that everyone got what they wanted and felt good about it. Again, very respectful. In addition to feeling I was professionally very well represented by Chris, I'm so happy to have met him! He's optimistic, and has a good sense of humor which I personally appreciate. He never came across as arrogant or pompous; I never felt he was talking down to me. He was unfailingly able and willing to provide hand-holding when it was needed, whether it was an optimistic pep talk, or to talk me down when I got anxious. All in all, excellent guidance, with aloha :)

ZillowVERIFIEDChristopher is amazingaEUR"the best sellers agent I have ever worked with. He went above and beyond his regular responsibilities, handling every detail flawlessly. Not only did he expertly manage the sale, but he also eased the entire process by supervising repairs, answering moving-related questions, and ensuring everything ran smoothly. His dedication made the experience far less stressful than I ever expected.

ZillowVERIFIEDChris was the selling agent on a house my wife and I purchased. We would highly recommend working with Chris to help you buy or sell. If he happens to be on the other side of the transaction you will treated with transparency and honesty.

ZillowVERIFIEDChristopher Barca provided outstanding service as our Compass Hawaii realtor broker. Without his expert guidance and assistance, selling our property would have been a significant challenge. Christophers positive and enjoyable demeanor made the entire process a pleasure. His deep understanding of the market and the intricacies of preparing the property for sale were truly impressive. I am writing this recommendation because I believe Christophers honesty and dedication deserve recognition for his exceptional efforts.

ZillowVERIFIEDChristopher did a superior job for our family selling our brothers property. He is professional, ethical, understanding of the community, very knowledgeable, passionate, personable, and honest. He was supportive in the selling process and understands the market value of our brothers home and how to market it. He advised our family through home repairs and updating to sell our house at the best value. He advised us of all the inspections and other tasks we needed to complete to have a successful closing. Our family trusted him because he followed through for us in a very timely manner. He has a wonderful team of people demonstrating his professionalism with his team. Chris went above and beyond for our family. Since our family was a distance away, his direct and clear communication skills made the process very successful. He is an excellent realtor and we are and were very impressed and blessed to work with Chris. I am honored to share my experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have bought & sold 15 properties in our married life. This has been by far the smoothest & most trouble-free sale for us. Chris & his team have extensive knowledge of the area & contacts to solve any problems which could arise during the sale & escrow period. Due to their local knowledge they guided us to a fair listing price. Chris & his team screened potential buyers & were able to bring us an acceptable offer in record time. The escrow went so smoothly & closed on-time to the thankfulness of the buyers & sellers.

ZillowVERIFIEDChristopher did an outstanding job assisting me with my most recent real estate purchase. This is actually the second transaction I have worked with Christopher on, and just as with the first, he was excellent. His knowledge of the island, and in depth understanding of my needs have yet again helped me find my perfect home. He made the entire process as stress free and simple as possible, and his support team is equally wonderful. He is my first and only choice for all my real estate transactions now, and in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe first met Chris Barca when we were buying our house, back in February of 2022; he was the seller's agent. Even though he was not our agent, my husband and I were both blown away by his knowledge, positive attitude and willingness to help. So blown away in fact, that when it came time to sell the same house a year later, there was no doubt that he was the right person to represent us! As stressful as can be to sell a house, Chris Barca made the whole process seamless, easy and stress free. His amazing knowledge of all real estate details and his connections to other agent's and escrow officers further made it an unforgettable experience! There are not enough amazing things to say about him, his dedication, his commitment nor his eagerness to assist! We will always be indebted to him and in our opinion, he is the ONLY agent in Maui to even consider to be your realtor! You will NOT regret it!

ZillowVERIFIEDWere so grateful to have had Chris and his team guiding and representing us through out our first home buying experience. Chris never made us feel pressured or rushed, but when we found the home that we loved, he worked swiftly to put things into motion and get us a deal that we felt great about. He was always very prompt with replying to questions and really helped us feel supported and informed throughout the process. We will absolutely be recommending Chris and his team to friends and family looking to begin their home search!

ZillowVERIFIEDConsummate professional! What you hope your real estate agent will be like. Extreme attention to detail. Always two steps ahead of any issues or problems. Our property had access issues that required easements, and negotiations with title company and lenders. Chris was relentless in resolving issues as they arose and bringing our sale to a successful completion.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen I moved to Maui, I worried that I wouldn't be able to find as good an agent as I left behind in California. Luckily for me, I found Chris. He is an amazing agent. Was in contact with me constantly and got all the showings I asked for arranged quickly. He didn't have an easy task. because our family of three wanted different things: a great garden and fruit trees, a gourmet kitchen, a pool. But he found us the perfect house and, because of his great relationships with other agents, he was able to get us in a few hours ahead of the open house and that made all the difference. We got the house, even with several competing offers coming in. Chris is super nice, but fiercely committed to getting his buyers the best price he can with the most favorable terms. We couldn't be happier.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I have bought and sold many properties during our life and Christopher was by far the best real estate agent we have dealt with. His attention to detail was flawless which we feel allowed our deal to progress seamlessly to its completion. He also showed great compassion and kindness towards us during the selling process and made us feel that it was always abut getting the result we wanted and not just getting the sale. Professionalism, expertise, kindness, great agent, would highly recommend Christopher.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I are so grateful to have found Christopher Barca at Compass Real Estate. In the process of getting our lending pre-qualified with Nancy Bayron (who is also amazing) at Sapphire Mortgage, she mentioned how great her personal home buying and selling experiences were with Chris. I asked for his contact info and we were under contract for our Maui home less than 3 weeks later. Chris has extensive knowledge and experience in real estate as well as the Maui market. Every step of the way, he was there to give his guidance and his seasoned perspective. Chris and his whole team at Compass were nothing short of stellar. They made the entire process as painless as possible and were an absolute pleasure to work with. Chris and his team truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to understand your needs. We are so thankful we had Chris on our side for exploring options and buying our home, but were even happier to now call him our friend. Chris is hands down the best real estate agent weve had and is just an awesome personaEUR| If youre looking for a home or to purchase or sell any type of real estate in Hawaii, give him a call and I guarantee you will be happy that you did! Aloha! -John G.

ZillowVERIFIEDChris Barca rewarded our trust with excellent service through every step of the process, from finding the right lender through closing. We were first-time home buyers and very worried about the insane market, but Chris was not only able to find us a home that exceeded our expectations, he also helped us negotiate a favorable price. I should also add that in addition to being knowledgeable, responsive, well-connected, empathetic, and determined, Chris has a fantastic team working behind him to move everything along in a timely and organized fashion. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIEDChris Barca never stopped working to help me sell my property and get me the best price. He is ambitious, reliable, and understands the market. He is not pushy or self-serving, being both friendly and professional, a very tough combination to find! My sale was a complicated one, and Chris always made me feel that my concerns and questions were valid and important to him. He is a self-motivated individual and certainly earns his commission. You will not regret selecting Chris Barca as your realtor. Heidi Jenkin

ZillowVERIFIEDI would highly recommend Christopher. The housing market has been crazy lately with home values skyrocketing and inventory low. Christopher found me a needle in a haystack.

ZillowVERIFIEDChris is excellent at communicating and offers a wealth of knowledge about local climate, advice on potential issues or benefits of a property, schools, and more. Even after we closed, Chris has been ready and willing to help us with other resources such as recommending trusted contractors, lenders, etc. Chris is a long-time resident on Maui and his experience and personality shine.

ZillowVERIFIEDSelling our farm and moving to the mainland was a tough decision (probably the toughest ever). What followed was a long plethora of tasks, doubts, emotions, life, money, ..., etc. Chris was there for us PERIOD. Our old neighbor who also had to make a big adjustment a year earlier recommended Chris to us - we are very glad he did. Yes he worked hard in all areas concerned with the sale (researching, preparing, coordinating, marketing, ..., etc), but the gist of it is Chris is really good at what he does. We'll remember him fondly and are honored to write this recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have known Chris for over six years, and this is our second time working with him as buyers. He represented us for both transactions and we could not be happier with our decision to work with him. He is extremely responsive, knowledgeable about the current market, buying and selling process, and the local area. Furthermore, Chris has an excellent reputation on Maui, has a large network of people he works well with, and is able to seamlessly integrate these resources into a transaction in order to make sure it's executed flawlessly. During this transaction in particular, while the market is extremely competitive, Chris bent over backwards for us and made sure we not only closed on the home of our dreams but that each key piece was done on time and with an optimal outcome. It is likely that without Chris as our agent on this sale we would not have ended up as new owners of our place. He is the best, we would work with him time and time again, and recommend him to all.

ZillowVERIFIEDChris Barca was my agent when I was buying my first home. To say that he went above and beyond the call of duty would be an understatement, and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have worked with him on what was a complex and, at times, challenging deal. Chris is a consummate professional; he was always available, responsive and extremely patient. I really can't thank him enough. I am now enjoying my third evening in my first home, and I have Chris Barca to thank for it. I recommend him without reservation.

ZillowVERIFIEDChristopher took all the stress out of selling our home while maximizing exposure and helping us to get top dollar. From the very first time we met with Christopher he came to the table with a vision for our property and matched it with the team and experience necessary to see it through seamlessly. No matter what issue, question, or concern came up along the way, Christopher was there by our side with an immediate answer or knew the right person to call. I wholeheartedly recommend Christopher!

ZillowVERIFIEDI just purchased my first home and without Chris, I would be absolutely lost. I'm a nurse at the hospital and have been completely overwhelmed with the pandemic. Chris is top notch. He answered every question I had and explained things in a way that I would understand. He was so patient and understanding of my time and lack of knowledge. Chris definitely had my best interest at heart while looking at properties. The whole process was relatively smooth and anything but stressful because of Chriss demeanor. I highly recommend having Chris as a realtor. Words wont do justice for my appreciation for his help. I absolutely love my new home!

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Chris was a wonderful experience. Being first time buyers, we didnt know anything, which felt both scary and intimidating. At every turn I felt like we were in good hands; he was so knowledgeable about every aspect of the business, seemed to know everyone, and was ALWAYS available to answer any question, no matter how big or small, and never made us feel silly for expressing our concerns or lack of knowledge. He guided us along every step of the way and helped calm us during the parts of the process that felt more stressful. In the end we successfully signed for our first home at an incredible price and are so grateful to have had Chris as our realtor. I would highly recommend to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we were looking for a home in maui, Chris Barca was referred to us by a dear friend. This beautiful human transformed our midwest life into a paradise in Hawaii. Talking to chris was like talking to my best friend that understands my exact needs in purchasing a home. While we were trying so hard in chicago to obtain a loan from chase bank that ended up leading nowhere (Chase dropped us after 2 moths of hard paper work) Chris referred us to Nancy from Saphire mortgage which was the final ingredient in our success. The entire way, Chris professionalism, along with him continually being present and on top of solving absolutely every obstacle, was what literally made our dreams come true.A A If we could make this review a video, you would see and feel the happiness in our eyes and hearts and know that Chris Barca contributed to putting it there.A A Our lives have changed and, on top of it, we made a friend for life ?? ?? !

ZillowVERIFIEDFirst time home buyer here. So green to the process I didn't even know any lingo or mortgage terms or anything. From day one I have never felt more comfortable as I was in Chris's hands. I had absolutely no stress during the whole process because if a problem arose, Chris would take care of it and only then would he inform me of the hiccup but then a second later let me know he handled it. He even recommended an amazing mortgage broker who worked just a smoothly as Chris. Amazing team the two of them make! When I'm ready to buy another house, I'll only be contacting Chris! WE made an offer in October and are now moving in in January...so streamlined and stress-free. Beyond blessed and so excited for this next chapter and thanks, not just in part, but by a whole lot to Chris!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I will only work with Chris from now on. After a few home-buying headaches and a serious disappointment we randomly met Chris at an open house on Mauis north shore. He immediately struck us as someone who was knowledgeable about the island and land use, etc, but more than that he was honest and easy to talk to. You cant write a believable review with only positives but thats the way this one is going to be. We looked at 4-5 properties with Chris. We made offers on 2. Without him we might have made huge mistakes. We ended up getting exactly what we wanted, below asking, and that is entirely because our agent is not only good but has contacts island wide. We lucked out. J and K

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I had the pleasure of working with Chris when we bought our first home. He came highly recommended and did not disappoint. As first time home buyers, we didnt know where to begin and were concerned that we wouldnt be asking the right questions and miss some crucial steps along the way. Chris stepped in and extinguished all of our fears almost immediately. His knowledge of the market and home buying process coupled with his friendly demeanor and willingness to go above and beyond expectations made our experience absolutely incredible. I thought purchasing a home would be a hectic and nerve racking adventure, yet Chris helped us navigate the process with incredible ease and efficiency. Despite the many other obligations that Chris had during the time of our purchase, not one phone call or email went unanswered and he made us feel like we were his only priority. Thrilled to have worked with him and proud to now consider him a friend.

ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend, Chris Barca! My partner and I were first time home buyers and came to him with a million questions, unsure of what we wanted, and not a clue as to how we would be able to achieve our goal to become home owners. From the moment we met Chris he was genuine, witty, optimistic, encouraging, helpful, patient and knowledgeable. He answered everyone of my ridicules questions without hesitation, he made himself available throughout the entire process which was so great because it can really be nerve racking. He encouraged us to make decisions based on what we felt comfortable with and what was best for us as first time home buyers. He brought properties to our attention that we didn't even think were and option for us, and we're so glad he did because we ended up purchasing one of them. His hard work and diligence was above and beyond. We are so thankful to have had him as our realtor. Even as the going got tough dealing with sellers and negotiations he remained professional and firm, best of all he was completely by our sides and made sure we got everything we wanted and were entitled to. I really can't say enough positive things about, Chris. In fact my partner and I are still in shock that we have such a beautiful home, and that it all happened so smoothly and effortlessly thanks to our wonderful real estate agent!!
