Growing up in the same 1930s Lanikai home that anchored their family’s legacy, Rick and Nani have spent their lives deeply connected to Kailua and Kāne‘ohe. As lifelong 2nd and 3rd generation Lanikai residents with nearly 30 years of combined real estate experience, this father-daughter team understands the Windward market on a level few can match. From valuations and neighborhood nuances to long-term planning, they focus on aligning every move with each client’s goals, true to their guiding principle: Team Maxey, for Maximum Results.
Rick and Nani specialize in the O‘ahu luxury market, assisting clients with downsizing, upsizing, investing, relocating to O‘ahu, or purchasing their first home. Their approach is rooted in communication, clarity, and a commitment to understanding what their clients truly need. They are consistently recognized within the real estate industry—nominated year after year for the Aloha ‘Āina REALTOR® Awards, named among Hawai‘i Business Magazine’s Top Performers, and have been ranked within the top 3% of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Global Network.
Their family’s imprint on Hawai‘i spans generations, from entrepreneurship and real estate development to community service and local politics. Rick brings over 35 years of respected leadership in Hawai‘i’s hospitality industry, while Nani—an alumna of the University of Hawai‘i’s Shidler College of Business and a Beta Gamma Sigma honoree—brings a strong background in marketing and business management to the team. Together, they honor their family legacy with a business mindset grounded in aloha, integrity, and service.
Both Rick and Nani grew up immersed in the Windward coastline—surfing, paddling, diving, and experiencing the daily rhythm of Kailua. Rick, a licensed maritime captain, spent his youth sailing, windsurfing, fishing, and surfing the shores of Lanikai. When they're not assisting clients, they can often be found out on the water, reconnecting with the places that shaped their lives. For them, Windward O‘ahu is not just where they work—it’s home.
The Maxeys embody the spirit of their community and bring this authentic perspective to every client relationship. They consider it an honor to guide clients through some of life’s most meaningful decisions, helping them establish roots, grow, and confidently move into their next chapter.
