I found Karen Williamson’s name on the web when I searched for “the best realtor in Kihei”. I deeply thank the persons who wrote a review about her services and steered us to her! The reviews were extremely positive and we would experience that they were right on the money. When I first contacted Karen by email, months before our trip to Maui, she immediately answered. Her pleasant and welcoming message reflected the genuine and kind personality that we would get to know in our 3-month journey, in search of a vacation rental condo in the Kihei-area. We benefitted from Karen’s extensive knowledge of the condo and single-family home market, both inventory and process, and with its Hawaii/Maui peculiarities. Because of her long experience and her pleasant personality, Karen has good rapport with a lot of the local real estate players, which helps with scheduling viewing and with negotiations after making offers. Karen is a good listener and she took her time to get to know us, and to learn what we were looking for. She is very generous with her time, and she guided us in analyzing our various wishes and options for buying real-estate. She will drive you around to see the listings you may be interested in, even if it is a listing that is an hour’s drive away. Karen is very responsive and we could always reach her. She was always willing to talk to us even on her days off. Karen has been on Maui for a long time and you can tell she cares for the island and the people. She is aware of the hardships that some islanders have to contend with, due to the rising real estate values. She does her best to pay back, by working for the local population, by spreading Aloha. We strongly recommend Karen to those who are looking for a real-estate agent on Maui. We will remember finding our condo as a journey guided by the most knowledgeable, professional, pleasant and kind agent you can imagine: Karen Williamson.
