ZillowVERIFIEDAs a Texas couple looking to purchase a vacation home in Maui, we worked closely with Ken Smith and his team and could not be more pleased with the experience. Ken was instrumental in guiding us through the process of finding and securing the perfect Wailea condo for our needs. From the initial search to the final closing, he demonstrated an unparalleled level of expertise and professionalism. What stood out most was Ken's deep knowledge of the Maui real estate market. He listened carefully to our preferences and budget, and quickly identified properties that aligned with our criteria. Ken's familiarity with the different neighborhoods and developments in Wailea allowed him to provide invaluable insights that helped us make an informed decision. Beyond just showing us listings, Ken and his team went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transaction. He coordinated all the necessary logistics, from arranging viewings to facilitating communication with the seller's agent. His responsiveness and attention to detail were truly impressive - he was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns that arose. Perhaps most importantly, Ken's friendly and personable approach made the entire experience enjoyable. As out-of-state buyers, we felt heard, supported, and valued throughout the process. He took the time to understand our unique needs and tailored his services accordingly. In the end, we are thrilled with our new Wailea condo and could not have asked for a better real estate agent to work with. We highly recommend Ken Smith and his team.

ZillowVERIFIEDThank you to the Smith team for being our listing agent. Melissa, a very friendly and warm person was our contact person and we were very comfortable working with her. She and the team (Ken and Greg) knew the Kahului market very well and marketed our home beyond our expectations. We were a 110% pleased with the outcome. The Smith team was a random selection to represent us and so grateful for their expertise. Highly recommend them.

ZillowVERIFIEDKen helped us to purchase our Pukalani home in 1999. We were grateful to him for helping us to buy this wonderful home for our young family, and when we made the big decision to sell 25 years later, we turned again to Ken and his team including Melissa and Greg. They guided us through preparing for listing with valuable advice: Get a sellers disclosure and tend to the findings! They were spot on for a suggested pricing point as well. Always available for our questions, they showed excellent attention to detail which made for a very smooth process from start to finish. Mahalo Ken, Melissa and Greg, we are so happy to have had this Full Circle experience spanning 25 years!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are so fortunate to have Ken Smith & his team handle the sale of our Maui Meadows home. It was not an easy transaction. made more difficult because we live off island. Ken and his team, and most times Ken personally, handled the myriad of things that needed to be done. From the start, Ken helped clean and stage our home, with the production of an outstanding video presentation. He assisted us with the voluminous paperwork required since much of it was not familiar to us. Because of the excellence of that video presentation, our home sold within a short time. From then on, Ken took charge, assisting us every step of the way with all the documents that needed to be submitted, assisting us with the multiple items that needed to be handled setting up arrangements that convenienced us, doing all the leg work, the packing & shipping of the things we were keeping, and made the whole process seamless and easy for us when it should have been overwhelming. He was always available when we needed help or had questions. On the several occasions when we had to leave a message, he called back within a very short time. Our transaction was completed this week. From the beginning which was about 3 months ago to the conclusion, Ken was there for us always and we are so grateful to have him not only guide us but actually handle many of those .

ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot overstate how helpful Ken Smith was to us in finding a place in Maui. He took time to get to know us, listened to what we were looking for, shared what he knew about various condo developments, stretched our considerations, answered all questions honestly based on his years of knowledge of Maui, and was relational from beginning to end. We never felt our concerns or questions were dismissed. He is an excellent realtor!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhere do we begin.Just purchased our second home on island. After purchasing properties in both California and Maui, working with Ken and his son Greg was the easiest most professional buying experience we have had. From start to finish Ken was professional and gave excellent guidance pre purchase. His negotiating skills are second to none. He communicated with us nearly daily and was the first to notify us when there were any issues. Both purchases were seamless and worry free. That is why when we were ready to buy we again sought out Ken for his expertise and knowledge. He has our highest recommendation and is someone we trust.

ZillowVERIFIEDThe Smith Team, with their extensive expertise and professionalism personally guided us through the maze of buying a house on Maui and simultaneously helping us close the sale of our home on Oahu. Their immediate response to any issue that came up was amazing! Without this attention, we would not have closed on both properties as quickly as we did. What meant so much to us was their frankness and truthfulness on assessing the value of a property while keeping in mind our specific needs. Their in-depth knowledge of Maui properties is invaluable. We give them our highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIEDKen listens well, and then he follows through. He asked what I was looking for, what I didn't want, and delivered the best options. I did not feel ignored or put off in favor of bigger fish, and I felt heard. Ken and his team know the market well, at all price points, and are quick to respond! No question is too far-fetched or too dumb. And his advice on the price negotiation was spot-on. His guesstimate of the sale price to help me make my offers actually turned out to be the final sale price. Even when I balked, he encouraged. I am so grateful to have this house in which I live now. Thank you Ken!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe've dealt with Ken for about 20 years and have always found him to be very professional and helpful. We recently used Ken and his team to sell a vacation rental property. As always, the transaction went very smoothly. Ken is definitely our "go to" realtor for all of our real estate business on Maui.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen I was offered a job on Maui in Dec 2021, I started my search for a place to live and found that rental market is impossible for renters with 2 dogs. Luckily, after many failed searches for a place to rent, I got hold of Ken Smith when I decided to buy, instead of renting. The moment I started the quest to buy, Ken and Melissa Smith have been going above and beyond in helping me secure a place so I could start my job on March 21. The buying market is equally tough like the renting market. Without Ken and Melissa Smith's help, I would not have been able to buy a place. The entire Smith team is very professional and efficient at their job. I brought my beautiful condo while I was still on the Mainland. I trusted Ken Smith through the entire process. They are very kind and I feel like they are my first friends on Maui as I do not know anyone on Maui. If you are looking to buy on Maui, you will be in good hands with the Smith team. They are the best of the best on the Island. They have your best interest to ensure the best outcome for you.

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was a pleasure working with Greg, Melissa and Ken to find a condo in Kihei. They were so patient and made it very convenient to buy on the island, even though I was located on the mainland throughout the process. It was especially helpful that Greg would FaceTime with me so I could see the property before putting in an offer. This was my first purchase of an investment property and the Smith Team reminded me of various deadlines, even after closing, to ensure a seamless process. They truly made me feel like family and I would recommend them to anyone I know wanting to buy in Maui.

ZillowVERIFIEDKen and his team went far above and beyond in all areas of the process of listing, selling and finalizing our condo. It was not a big dollar sale, but they treated us as if we were selling a multi million dollar property. We would never use any other realtor in Hawaii.

ZillowVERIFIEDI knew Ken Smith before he was a realtor. Having known him to be a positive minded, honest and driven person I felt confident working with him to find my first home 30 years ago in spite of the fact that he was new in the business and I knew several veteran realtors who had many years of experience. My trust in him paid off as he found me exactly what I was looking for and I am grateful to still be in the same home today. It has been really heart-warming to watch him prosper over the decades and share his blessing with his family who work with him. When it came time to sell our condo I could have teamed up with any number of different realtors on Maui, but again I chose to work with Ken Smiths team and again he did a great job and managed the listing and sale of the condo with great skill and never lost my confidence all the way through to the closing. I was thoroughly happy with his handling of the sale and I give him the highest recommendation I could give and hope that you have the opportunity to witness what I am speaking about with reference to Ken Smith and his team! Bravo you guys! Aloha

ZillowVERIFIEDKen and his team have represented my for the past 20 years since I began my journey of owning property on Maui. It's reassuring to have the Smith Team negotiating on my behalf. They really take care of their clients. They provided guidance to me that has benefited me in my investments. I feel their expertise has led me to making sound decisions. They are extremely professional and I highly recommend them.

ZillowVERIFIEDKen is by far the best realtor out there. He helped us negotiate with a difficult seller by being humanly kind, persistent and knowledgeable. With anyone else, this deal would not have transpired. Ken went out of his way to help us understand the market in Maui and show us the condo since we are in AK and could not be there on hand everyday. His team walked us through the condo and through some rough dealings with such genuine honesty and integrity. We have recommended Ken to another AK couple. Ken truly was the man that made our dream come true.

ZillowVERIFIEDMelissa Smith and Ken Smith are outstanding real estate agents. They have represented me on two home transactions one as a seller and one as a buyer. Each time they have gone above and beyond. They are professional knowledgeable and clearly understand the real estate market here in Maui. They give sound advice and have a great many networking sources to assist with the home sale process.Melissa was especially helpful with negotiating the process with the buyer at my most recent transaction. If you are looking for someone that is going to get you results the Smith team are really a team and will make it happen. I ive been very pleased with the results both Real estate transactions.

ZillowVERIFIEDKen had all the experience and professionalism one could ask for in making my purchase smooth, knowledgeable and pleasurable. He set up appointments for me to see homes immediately. Having to buy without physically being able to see in person (due to Covid) my potential home, Ken was able to FaceTime to tour each one. He enabled me to get a feel of each one he showed. I highly recommend his services. You wont be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIEDI worked directly with Melissa Smith for the purchase of my beautiful Maui vacation property. Melissa is professional, knowledgeable, patient, and one of the kindest people I have ever met. She went above and beyond listening to my many questions, even into the late evenings on multiple occasions! Melissa knows the area and many people, who were able to assist me with the purchase of my Maui home. If you need a realtor in the South Maui area, you will not find anyone more caring and hardworking for you, she will find you exactly what you want in a home on Maui.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have worked with Ken on 2 transactions and both transactions were absolutely flawless. Despite the fact the I am on east coast and Ken is on Maui everything was done fast and communication was impeccable. Using any means available today to communicate and sign documents Ken took every question seriously, no matter how simple and repetitive it was. During these transactions we have become good friends and I can sincerely say that the level of service provided was way above anything I have experienced even in extremely competitive market of NYC. Many thanks Ken!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs first-time home buyers, Ken assisted my husband and I with our home purchase. What I appreciated most about working with Ken was his prompt response to my text messages and e-mails, a quality you don't find in all professionals here on Maui. Our transaction was smooth from start to finish and I appreciate all of the time and effort put forth by Ken and his team.

ZillowVERIFIEDI live on the mainland and selling the property was entirely on Ken's shoulders. He hired reputable and reasonably priced contractors and coordinated all the required repairs. He guided me through the tedious process of preparing the house for sale, advised on the pricing and the very first offer yielded the full asking price! He represented me in all the negotiations, timely updated on the progress and helped me to stay the course throughout the entire transaction for the two months preceding the closing. His marketing campaign was extremely effective and yielded a backup offer. I am extremely happy that I picked Ken for all my Maui real estate deals. Highly recommend!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Ken Smith and his team was a flawless experience. Their level of expertise was of high caliber and very professional. I literally was not interested in working with anyone else but the Smith team. I had heard through "Coconut wireless" from other people in my circle of friends about how Ken and his team can definetly make our dreams of home ownership a reality. I would recomend Ken Smith and his team to anyone looking for a real estate professional who will listen to your concerns and offer expert advice on how to proceed with all the hurdles that come along with the home-buying process. Not only did my wife and I receive top notch service, but Ken and his team make it a point to give you a feeling of true aloha. As well as a sense that you are being included with open arms into a family that really cares about making your real estate dreams come to fruition.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe've dealt with Ken for about 15 years and have always found him to be very professional and helpful. As Ken well knows, we're always looking for a "deal" and we rely on his website, newsletter, and personal recommendations to track those down.Ken recently helped us purchase a condo in Kihei as our primary residence. Everything went very smoothly, even with the fast close we requested. He is definitely our "go to" realtor for all of our real estate business on Maui.

ZillowVERIFIEDKen has been my realto for three transactions over the past twelve years. His knowledge of Maui, trends and rapport with everyone is top notch. When we almost lost a sale due to price negotiations Ken reduced his commission and convinced the other agent to do likewise to make the sale a reality. You won't go wrong as Ken Smith as your agent!

ZillowVERIFIEDIt is with complete confidence that I recommend Ken Smith as a representative to take anyone through the entire adventure of buying or selling real estate in Hawaii. Many years ago Ken found my condo on Maui for me while I was living in Santa Cruz, CA. and the entire transaction was handled through pictures, phone calls, and faxes. I moved into that condo on Maui and lived there for 13 years and loved my home. When life's circumstances changed and I needed to sell, I didn't hesitate to call Ken for help. He, along with his partner and realtor family, went way beyond what I could have hoped for in getting my condo ready to show beautifully, found a buyer who gave me a good price, a quick sale, and a smooth transaction from start to finish. Ken is someone who is trustworthy, professional, and warmly friendly. His whole team are excellent examples of the spirit of Aloha! My appreciation for all they have done for me is profound. ??
