Litea Maiava

Before choosing who would represent my family, I prayed a lot. Our goal was a dream, to own a home on Maui's west side and raise our kids where I was raised. The market was tight, but Litea's market knowledge helped us spot the right opportunity quickly. When one home caught our eye, her negotiation skills got us a deal with the sellers, and we went into escrow. Litea was outstanding from start to finish. When we hit speed bumps that were out of our control, she was always four steps ahead of them. Her communication style kept us informed and confident at every stage, and her professionalism never wavered, no matter what came up. She and our team were exactly who I had prayed for to get this deal done. I grew up with Litea, so this was personal for her. She truly walks the walk when it comes to keeping our people home in Hawai'i, and that's exactly what she did for us. Thanks to her, my family and I are home in Kahana/Napili, where I grew up. I knew Litea would fight for us, hustle to the end, and understand our goal, and she went above and beyond everything we asked. Her communication, market knowledge, negotiation skills, and professionalism are of the highest standard. I give all the glory to God, Jesus Christ, for bringing this team of elite professionals together. Many prayers were answered the day we got our keys. Thank you, Litea. Because of you, we are home forever.

Litea made my experience as a first time homebuyer very stress free and easy. Her communication with me whenever anything happened was amazing and she was very helpful if I ever had any questions, and gave me grate tips and advice throughout the process.

Selling of my home was one of the biggest decisions I have ever made both emotionally and financially. It was a 100% learning experience. To have complete trust with your realtor meant the world. Litea was always available with all questions and concerns. She was not only knowledgeable but such a pleasure to work with. Her flexibility made it all the better. Her dedication is without any doubt.

As a Native Hawaiian family of 5 - it has always been our dream to own a home in Hawaii. For all the years we've been looking we never actually believed we could do it and then we met Litea who made it happen in a month!! While she had all the skills that top notch realtors do what made her successful with us was her intuitive nature and human side. She was always real and honest with us and held our hands through the process. She never made us feel less-than, unqualified, or ignorant rather she has built a platform as an agent to empower real, working-class families from Hawaii to own a piece of what they and generations before them have called home.

Working with Litea was an outstanding experience. From the very beginning, she exceeded our expectations by guiding us through every step of the process. She took the time to clearly explain all the paperwork, offered valuable advice, and made sure we felt informed and confident when making important decisions. We are truly grateful for her dedication and support, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

My husband and I were on the lookout to buying our first home in December of 2025. As soon as we reached out to Litea she followed up with us right away. I had already built options on what I seen on the market but we provided Litea with what we were looking for in a home and she provided us with even more options to look into. As we were house hunting Litea communicated with the realtors who were selling the homes for us and guided us as a voice of reason during the open houses. What we appreciated from Litea was how real she was and didn’t try to sell you a house just to sell you a house. She showed us pros and cons of places so we knew what we were getting ourselves into. Once we found the home we wanting to put an offer on it was smooth sailing from there. Litea provided the best partnerships with our loan agents and escrow agents. This whole process was new to us and intimidating, but she explained everything to us in detail so that we felt reassured. One of her goals as a realtor is to help Hawaiians find their homes within the islands and as a Hawaiian, I really felt a sense of pride and happiness being able to do this with her. I would 100% recommend her as a realtor to anyone looking to buy. Mahalo Litea!
