After working with other Hawaii realtors over the years, Dave Richardson and his associate, Ashley Dods, recently helped me buy and sell several properties in South Maui. I am impressed with their thoroughness, organization and professionalism in each step of the process. Dave's experience helps him generate creative solutions when issues arise. I trust him. I highly recommend Dave and his team.

Dave and his assistant Ashley were both excellent from start to finish. Not only did they find a perfect buyer at our desired price, they attended to every detail to ensure a smooth and timely closing. I can't say enough about their professionalism, thoroughness, and courtesy. I would recommend them without reservation. You won't be disappointed.

Dave is a GREAT agent! After trying unsuccessfully to get any traction with another agent for months, we signed on with Dave and within two weeks had doubled the showings we had had in 6 months under the previous agent! Not only did he sell the house, he got us a great price and stayed hands on the entire way. Maui, I have learned from agents on Oahu, is known for lazy real estate agents. Lots of people put up a sign and wait for a call. Dave hustles for you and if we are any example, that hustle pays off. No question that he is one of the best on Maui and anyone selling would be lolo not to use him. Mahalo Dave! You da best!
