ZillowVERIFIEDDave embodies the spirit of Aloha--open heart, deep listening, positive perspective. He was always respectful and solution focused, having huge amounts of patience with a difficult tenant trying to block the sale of my house. His enthusiasm and honesty created a true collaborative experience. Dave went above and beyond at every point in the process. I know I will work with him again in the future. Mahalo nui loa Dave. Aloha, Sherry

ZillowVERIFIEDI was immediately impressed with Dave as a very accomplished Maui real estate professional and most importantly as a genuine caring soul when we first met. Dave represented us as buyers in a dual representation and helped both buyer and seller navigate through some very challenging market conditions and situations. He pays attention to all the details and is very responsive, kind, and caring. We were able to close in 30 days. I have the highest degree of trust and respect for Dave, a great person, and much gratitude for his help in finding us a wonderful home here in Maui.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave was extremely helpful in completing a sale of my family home while I was off island. He was available almost 24/7 and was always respectful of the time difference when it came to making deadlines etc. He was unfailingly friendly and *honest* (even when I didnt want to hear the truth!) Knowing that I could trust him made an emotionally charged transaction less difficult. Selling the home where my family shared so many special moments was extremely difficult and Dave was always sympathetic to my feelings. His energy, honesty, and kindness made a big difference.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave is very knowledgeable, thorough and super friendly.We are very happy with the excellent service he provided. He helped us to buy a very nice piece of multi-family property in upcountry, Maui in year 2013. Again, in year 2021, he helped us again with buying a piece of vacant land in Haiku. I highly recommend him to any one who is interested in both selling and buying properties on Maui.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I have sold several homes over the years and Dave Futch is by far the best Realtor we have ever worked with. When we began working with Dave we were in a difficult situation --- a family emergency required us to return to our home on the mainland and sell our home in Hawaii as soon as possible. Not only did Dave handle the sale of our home (we had a buyer within days), but he also helped clear the house and garage of our belongings. Through it all Dave was patient, sympathetic, honest and willing to think outside the box. He was easily available -- even with the 6 hour time difference--always returning calls/texts. In our opinion Dave Futch is an outstanding Realtor, truly going above and beyond to help his clients.

ZillowVERIFIEDWith 30+ yr intimate knowledge of the Maui landscape, Dave Futch is the realtor you want in Maui! He helped us to locate and purchase our dream home in Haiku (N. Shore Oceanview). Maui can be a very tricky place to buy a home with the challenges of competitive buyers, unusual Seller Disclosure issues, & the limited supply overall. From the outset, Dave clearly prepped & guided us how to become a strong buyer, and equipped us to be nimble once the right property surfaced. He helped us navigate and overcome so many obstacles in the process, and became my Zen Counselor and friend, in addition to being an ace realtor! We love Dave; hes simply the best, and you should tap in to his know-how & expertise too! Id give him a 7-Star rating, if that were possible!

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you are looking for a trusted advisor who will show patience and expertise regarding your wants and needs, as well as what is possible within your budget, Dave is your guy. My wife and I spent over a year working with Dave as we tried to find the right home in Maui. In that time Dave was in regular communication with us, sharing insights and ideas as well as visiting and reviewing new homes and properties that potentially met our needs as they came onto the market.Fast forward, we now own the home / property that dreams are made of.I can't say enough good things about Dave and his service.If you want to fulfill the dream of living in paradise, you can trust Dave to help assist you.We did, and you should too.Matt and Angela R.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave Futch is a down to earth realtor with a savage edge. He's quick, answers your calls, questions, concerns, gets you in and closes the deal! I called other realtors and amazingly the first 3 did not answer or their emails were full. Not Dave Futch! Dave answered on the 2nd ring and set me up a showing within 2 days of my call. I can't say enough about Dave except call him if you want to buy or sell. He's the best on Maui hands down!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I decided to move to Maui, a place we'd visited frequently but never lived. Buying a home remote is an incredible challenge, but Dave honestly made the process as easy as possible- his excellent knowledge of neighborhoods, excellent knowledge of the market and truly outstanding videos and walkthroughs of properties made the entire process as easy a buying experience as we've ever had!

ZillowVERIFIEDDave made my dreams come true, and I seriously couldn't have done it without him. His expertise in the Maui market, and willingness to work hard regardless of my situation, allowed me to keep moving forward even when there was little hope. I felt like I was his only client with the amount of attention he gave us. Whether I was making a straightforward offer or something we had to brainstorm for an hour on our approach, he was there for us every step of the way. My situation made it challenging to find exactly what I wanted, but Dave delivered. He never gave up and treated us like family. Always looking out for our best interest. I've never met anyone with such professionalism and easy-going personality. I can't wait to recommend him to the next person who needs a realtor in Maui. Absolute best experience!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were first-time homebuyers and loved working with Dave. He walked us through every step of the process and has great communication skills and a great vibe. We loved that hes experienced and also chill and personable. A home buying process is super time-consuming and emotional, so it was really wonderful to partner with Dave as he has lots of positive energy.

Review for Member: Dave Futch
ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I moved to Maui 2 years ago and Dave was actually the sellers realtor of the home that we purchased. We then decided to sell several months ago and Dave was the first name that came to mind. He, with ease, ''sold us'' on our home initially and he without doubt did it again for our buyers in no time.We also needed a space to land while building our new home and he of course came through with an amazing rental property. Selling/buying a home is uncomfortable and at times stressful. I can honestly say that we felt 100% in the loop and in control all of the time. Dave has tremendous knowledge of the island and an amazing skillset in the Hawaii real estate world. He also has a phenomenal personality to match! Down to earth and relatable. I can't rave enough about the experience you'll have with Dave. Thanks, Dave for everything!

ZillowVERIFIEDDave sold two properties for us: a piece of land on the Hana Highway and a house with cottage up in Kula. He is always positive, engaging, and conscientious. Daves values were aligned with ours and he always gave great advice; giving attention to every detail and handling everything with grace. His recommendations for carpenter, plumber, electrician, window washer, house cleaner and amazing photographer were a tremendous help! Showing was a breeze! Everything moved smoothly despite Covid challenges.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave exuded the Aloha spirit with friendship and goodwill from all our interactions with him. He has a very down-to-earth and easy going personality that makes working with him a pleasant experience. Our purchase transaction on a Maui condo with Dave as our buyers agent was "sight unseen" due to the COVID-19 travel and quarantine restrictions but he was our eyes and ears on the island. He made us feel comfortable and we placed a lot of trust in him and he did not disappoint.From initial contact to final closing he maintained a professional attitude always willing to do what was necessary to help you finalize the transaction.I would not hesitate to contact Dave again for any future real estate transactions in Maui.

ZillowVERIFIEDI contacted Dave to sell my house which was in a terrible state after 20 years of rental. I could not oversee the repairs being in Chicago and the house in Maui. Not only Dave sold the house for the asking price before it was even on the market, he coordinated all the work with the repairmen. provided local service contacts and even shopped for a dishwasher and toilets at the local stores when I could find anything suitable on line. I cannot say enough praises about Dave and his unconditional support as my agent. Highly recommend. Dave rocks!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhether buying or selling on Maui, if you are looking for the best real estate agent, you should call Dave Futch. In the past, Ive bought and sold a number of homes and worked with a number of agents, but Dave is the absolute best realtor that Ive ever worked with. Because hes lived and worked here for so long, he really knows the island. His expertise was evident throughout the process. Hes encouraging, upbeat, respectful, patient and professional. He has a wealth of resources to draw upon to aid in the sale or purchase of a home. At times, for the seller or the buyer, the process can feel a bit stressful, but Daves calm and confidence helped me to focus on the goal and his advice proved true in the end. His sales skills were evident when I first interviewed him to help get my home sold, and it was clear that I need look no further. You will feel the same way, I am sure!

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was great working with Dave. We picked him for his knowledge of upcountry Maui and his online presence for upcountry, specifically. Dave is very easy to work with and very efficient. He facilitated small repairs, landscaping, and other maintenance tasks which was extremely helpful since we were selling from a distance. He also helped us understand the Maui market and price the house just right. Highly recommended in every way!

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was our families first time purchasing a home in Maui. We had moved here a year prior from Canada and did not have a lot of knowledge of the process here in Hawaii. Dave helped along every step of the way and made it a stress free and fun process. He is friendly, attentive, professional, knowledgable and puts his clients needs first. We feel very fortunate that we were able to work with him and we know who we will be calling the next time we are in the market to buy or sell. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Dave is truly lucky! Thanks Dave, we love our new home!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe met Dave while looking around to see what the housing market was like before we listed our house. Dave was very knowledgeable and energetic about showing us what was out there so we decided to have him sell our house. Others had tried, but were not successful. Dave Futch persisted and we just closed on the sale of our house. We admired his positive attitude and helpful suggestions, always respecting our situation and needs along the way. We will be using him again to find a new house for us. My wife and I are very happy to have signed with Dave and would recommend him to anyone who is selling or buying a house!He helped find our new home to be able to "downsize." Wonderful!

ZillowVERIFIEDDave Futch provided excellent guidance throughout the entire list to sale process and responded professionally and diligently to all my questions and requests. This was my first sale of a US property as a Canadian owner and I was not familiar with all the requirements and processes. Dave was very patient and understanding with his explanations and ensured that the sale transition was smooth for all parties involved. Dave also has a very good team that he works with that responded very professionally and effectively to all my requests. I would highly recommend his realtor expertise and services.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave Futch is the consummate professional. He guided us through the most challenging escrow transaction without overlooking a single detail. Our best interest was always his primary focus. Daves guidance extended beyond his professional responsibilities, as we navigated emotional responses to unexpected demands from our buyer. His measured voice of reason guided us to keep the big picture in mind, keeping our eye on the prize which would bring our escrow to close. Our recommendation is without reserve, we would wholeheartedly entrust Dave to act on our behalf in any future real estate transactions. Much aloha! L&K

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were involved in a 1031 exchange and wanted to own a little piece of paradise in Maui. We had our honeymoon in Lahaina 28 years ago and had been staring a panoramic photo of the view from our lanai at the Hyatt Regency Maui all those years never thinking we would be able to own there. Dave made the dream come true.You won't find a realtor with greater patience, work ethic or integrity than Dave Futch. I am a lawyer and probably more cautious in my transactions than many people who don't see what I see in my profession. After researching realtors online I called Dave to discuss our situation. At first I was not really serious about buying in Maui because I knew we would not be able to fly back and forth from the east coast of the U.S. to look at multiple properties. Dave had been in this situation and told me he would video properties (if we were serious about particular ones). We started our search with him and he did everything he promised and more, allowing us to confidently view and purchase the home of our dreams which we may someday use as a primary residence once we retire. He kept a laser-like focus on what we wanted, sent us information promptly, educated us on what we needed to know and kept us on top of new listings. We were not the easiest people as I demanded a lot of detailed information. He never faltered in complying with my requests and didn't make me wait days and days for a reply like some realtors I have dealt with in the past. He understood the pressure and deadlines of doing a 1031 exchange and stayed on top of everything.You will find many realtors in Maui , but I seriously doubt you will find any as detail and customer oriented who also have a tireless work ethic and unsurpassed integrity as Dave. He seems to work 24-7. And keep in mind there is a five hour time difference between the east coast and Maui-he was up at 6 am answering our emails! You can't go wrong with Dave Futch as your realtor. Thanks for everthing, Dave!

ZillowVERIFIEDDave is an absolute real estate wizard. He walked us throug the entire process and made it a snap to sell our property. He is also a master marketer who promoted our property with class. Our property was on the market for 3 days before we got our first offer. More offers followed during the first week though we signed with the first. House closed in under 30 days from listing. Oh, and he found us a new home!

Review for Member: Dave Futch
ZillowVERIFIEDI am glad that I "got in touch with Dave Futch"! I have dreamed of owning a property on Maui for many years and had an opportunity to realize it this year. I began my search on Zillow early in the year and upon finding a property of interest contacted Dave, the listing agent. What stood out for me during our initial conversation was not just his knowledge, but his wit and his calm easy going attitude. I quickly realized that Dave would be a good agent to work with. Upon my first property hunting trip to Maui I met Dave at his office in Paia and he drove me to look at the listing I had first inquired about. I immediately felt comfortable with him, like someone I've known for many years. He's truly friendly and personable. I felt Dave appreciated me for who I am, and not just as a source of income. Notably, Dave is among the most articulate people I've ever met. His way with words and ability to communicate clearly are truly impressive. It would of course be for naught if not backed up by his consummate knowledge of Maui real estate, expertise and attention to detail. As it worked out, I ended up making three trips to Maui over a 5 month period before finding and purchasing just the type of property I had in mind in October of this year. Finally, success! Dave was patient, helpful and supportive the whole way through, even at the times that seemed that I would not find the right property in this very active and competitive market. He was NEVER pushy, but always gave rational guidance during the buying process. I told him that he could have a second career as a psychologist because of his ability to listen well. Although Dave is in demand, I never felt that he didn't have enough time for me to take care of my needs. He took me through the myriad of steps necessary to purchase a home on Maui from beginning to end and made it as painless as possible. He also introduced me to a very capable loan professional, who I was also impressed with. Dave is a true PROFESSIONAL who consciously practices the highest ethics with constant knowledge of the legal aspects of the real estate process. If Dave cannot answer a question with assuredness(very rare) he will get an answer from someone that can provide it. He knows professionals in virtually every field of endeavor on the isIand. I really don't know how Dave does all that he does so well in such an effortless way, but hat's off to him! I'd have to say he's the best, and better than I imagined a realtor could be. I'm not only impressed with him as a top notch realtor but even more so as just a great all around person. It's truly been a pleasure to get to know him and learn from him, and I will keep in touch with him. Without a doubt, my experience in working with him and the people he has introduced me to, has even enhanced my feelings for and added another level of awe to the magical land of Maui and its peoples. Thank you Dave.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Dave to find a house in Haiku while we were living on the big island in Hilo. What I liked about Dave:- He seemed to know everyone, when I told people who we were working with they all knew of him, they said he was Mr. Haiku. When it came to getting loans, insurance, handyman, movers, he always had a few contacts at the ready.- He didn't put any pressure on us to make an offer and was generous with his time, showing us several houses over a few trips over several months. - I felt he gave us good advice when deciding how much to offer, not pushing us to offer more, and sometimes suggesting a lower bid. - When we were not able to be on island for the final walk through, he met the agent and took video for us to confirm acceptance.- But, honestly, it was how kindly he treated his frail geriatric dog, bundling him in a blanket and taking him with us in the car from house to house the first time we met him that convinced us to go with Dave as our agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDDave is a great agent and knows the Maui housing climate and takes that experience to help guide a successful real estate transaction with personal service. I listed my house in July with him and had a successful closing by October. He tended every showing and took caree to make sure that the potential buyers were fully informed about the home from the mechanicals to the foliage growing in the yard. I highly recommend Dave Futch when a real estate professional is needed.

Review for Member: Dave Futch
ZillowVERIFIEDWe got lucky. Our intention was to interview multiple agents but we were so immediately taken by Daves knowledge, candor and authenticity we knew he would be the best steward for us.Dave educated us about how the market was different than the mainland, the details involved in bidding, acquisition and closing. Dave removed a lot of the anxiety for us as we transferred our primary investment to Maui and post-closing he has been a trusted resource for insight and advice.Although the decision to make Dave our champion was based on personality, we were told time and time again by absolutely everyone with no exception that Dave was not only 100% pono but also one of the best in the industry. The weather in Maui is horrible, the views are revolting and its very, very, very dangerous ;) but if one must move here; I can unequivocally recommend Dave Futch to make your Maui dream come true. Lastly, if your inclination is to make Haiku your home; Dave knows every single tree, bird, boulder, waterfall, neighbor in all of Haiku from Huelo to Paia. He is truly the Haiku expert of the island.
