What Clients Say About Working With Caroline:

★★★★★

“When I was starting to consider my purchase, one of my friends with extensive background in real estate introduced me to Caroline, and boy, am I glad that he did. Caroline was amazing to work with, one of the best agents I have worked with hands-down. Her broad real estate expertise combined with specific knowledge of the Maui market, trends, short-term rental dynamics, current events, zoning, and political factors were exactly the insight you hope for when partnering with an agent. Caroline was responsive and thorough, even as our transaction spanned Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year. I have high standards for communication, and Caroline met and exceeded them. I will absolutely be using Caroline for my next transaction, and highly recommend her.”

Caroline Neubauer helped us search for properties in Maui while we were in California. I was skeptical about our ability to “see” properties from afar but Caroline really pulled through, showing us the surrounding outside, as well as all of the details that I would like to see inside. We really appreciated that Caroline and her husband are locals and investors themselves and they have experience renovating on the island. Caroline is relatively new to the business but she really hustled to research our questions, connect us with other people in the industry, talk to listing agent to get as much information as possible and she never failed to help us get our foot in the door in a very competitive market. I’d definitely recommend working with Caroline.

Caroline is a gem!! Knowledgable with Maui, has a cool head that is focused on her clients’ best interests, on top of everything, tiny details included, and will go extra mile for her clients!!! I am experienced in real estate and often don’t need to be handheld by a realtor, but I got so much out of her outstanding service buying an investment property remotely from off the island. HIGHLY recommended!!!

This was my third and most exciting real estate transaction. The communications went smooth, I was informed in a timely fashion, and educated as to what was happening and why. The real estate market can get, seemingly, wild at times, and I will contact Caroline for any future dealings on Maui. She, with her supporting team, brought years of experience to complete a professionally performed real estate transaction; everybody was happy!

As a mainlander looking for an investment property, Caroline was the glue that made our condo search possible. She helped us navigate the local market, did amazing virtual home tours (seriously, they were very good), and put us in touch with a network of local experts to answer our endless questions (rental estimates, best place for a mortgage, etc). I’d definitely work with her again.

Caroline superbly managed the sale and escrow process for our Wailuku home. She facilitated contacts for cleaning and some repairs. We were kept up-to-date on every step of this complex process!! She even helped to get the buyer’s agent to help his client get things done. Her expertise includes a careful monitoring and troubleshooting of every issue that might arise. We most highly recommend her!

Caroline is AWESOME!! She is knowledgeable, communicative, thorough and current in her sales approach. Her availability throughout the the listing, showings, sale and closing of the house was top notch. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor for the sale of my parent’s house.
