WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT KATHY ROSS:

To: The Maui Board of Realtors, 

To Whom It May Concern;

I would like to take this opportunity to praise the expertise of one of your real estate professionals. My wife and I  have recently completed a complex real estate transaction that involved: easements rights (property boundary realignment), reciprocal seller/buyer landscaping agreements, multi-conditional buyer rights of refusal to an adjoining parcel, and partial seller financing.

We have dealt with Realtors on four Hawaiian Islands over the past decade and we have not encountered anyone who consistently applies such a high level of professionalism and dedication to the real estate profession as Kathy Ross of Maui Oceanic Properties.

Numerous trips to our law firm, the escrow company, the County planning and zoning departments became a weekly occurrence for Kathy, as a matter of fact, she was the only person capable of providing professional cost-effective landscaping for our property subsequent to the closing.

It is my firm conviction that this complicated property transfer would have never reached fulfillment of Kathy had not assumed the methodical and arduous task of total leadership"

Sincerely

Lowndes E. Rourke

President of Corporate Development Systems, Inc.

"I highly recommend Kathy Ross, who represented me during the sale of my former home as well as the purchase of my present home. Her professionalism and assistance were invaluable during every stage of both transactions. I subsequently referred several friends to her for representation during the sale and/or purchase of their homes, and their experiences were as positive as mine."

Ms. Ross is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the real estate market on Maui, and as a result is able to provide her clients with an unparalleled level of expertise in the selection and purchase of properties here.

Sincerely,

Margie Koff

"I have known Kathy Ross for over 12 years. I have purchased 3 homes with her guidance. and everytime it has been a very positive experience. Her knowledge of real estate and her special insight into the island of Maui is second to none. Whether I was looking for an investment property or a quality of life property, Kathy made my experience an enjoyable one. She really made me feel like nothing will be missed and she has always been there when I needed her. What Kathy gives me, is peace of mind and a "non stress" real estate experience. Her calming influence is amazing! She puts her clients at ease and takes all the tension out of buying or selling a home. Kathy is a great real estate broker and even a better person.

Thanks for everything Kathy!"

Kevin Maier

"Kathy Ross is our go-to Real Estate person on Maui! My husband and I have purchased two properties through Kathy and each time her professionalism, common sense, and honest guidance have proved a winning combination. The best real estate investment we ever made happened because of Kathy acting quickly on our behalf and using her many island business relationships to our best advantage."

Iris and Sebastian Nola

"We met Kathy in 1999 while searching for a Maui Property. She helped us find the perfect oceanfront piece of land and we built our dream home. Kathy's knowledge of the local market, her associations, connections and recommendations made our building process efficient and enjoyable - something practically unheard of for an "off-island" owner. Kathy is the consummate professional. She has become a very close friend to this day and we are always extremely confident to recommend her to our friends, family and everyone we care about."

Warren and Elizabeth Youngquist

"Kathy - it was such a pleasure to meet and work with you on our Hawaii real estate journey. We look forward to seeing where the results of our combined efforts take us. We feel very fortunate to have you representing us."

Aloha, and welcome to my website! As a real estate broker for over twenty years, I have found that it is very important to know my clients. After all, I aim to get to know you better as I find the property that fits you and your specific parameters. It's only fair that you get to know something about me.

I am a rock star real estate consultant. I help my clients enjoy their buying and selling of real estate dreams! People are attracted to my high integrity and sense of fun. If you are seriously interested in meticulous representation AND you really want to enjoy the experience of buying, selling and owning Maui real estate, contact me. Not only will you receive the benefit of my 20 years of market savvy experience, but I promise that I will help you ENJOY the process. I will help you with your ownership needs after the transaction has closed by saving you time and money. Whether it be a remodel, yard maintenance, privacy fencing or even the best private chef for "wowing" you and your guests - I will direct you to the top professionals on this island.

Prior to being a real estate broker, I found success as a professional sailor, winning the Canadian National Title from 1980–1984, the Rolex Cup in 1981–1982, the World Cup in 1983, and the Olympic trials in 1984. I competed in the 1983 Pan American games and the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. During that time I owned and operated a sailing school in the British Virgin Islands.

In 1984, I came to Maui for one week during a break in my racing schedule. 25 years later, I am still here because there is something about the beauty and peace of the island that I can't resist! It's magical! In 1989 I began my career in real estate, becoming a licensed real estate broker/Realtor with Landmark Maui Properties. My success as a broker lead to a management position. I managed two offices for Landmark Maui Properties. With 21 active agents and a fully-staffed, computerized operation, I was an integral part of capturing a significant percentage of the sales and listings in the growing Mauiresidential market. I was Landmark’s Broker-In-Charge, responsible for reviewing contracts and advising other agents on their transactions. During that time, I personally handled several hundred transactions, representing both buyers and sellers. The vast majority of my clients end up being my dear friends and learning what it is like to enjoy the more subtle ways of life here on Maui!

In 2002, I started my own brokerage firm, Maui Oceanic Properties. In addition to individual high-end transactions that are the main part of my business, I was the lead listing broker for two brand new residential projects located upcountry.

What does my personal experience mean to you? Over the past 18  years, I have learned a great deal about what it takes to be a successful real estate broker. As a full-time broker, I have brought a spirit of enthusiasm and dedication to my work by providing clients with the highest level of service, integrity, and commitment. Almost all of my business comes from referrals or repeat clientele. A list of satisfied clients can be provided.

Along with excellent sales and management skills, I deliver you extensive market, contractual, and technical knowledge, plus Maui Oceanic Properties’  affiliations, which is my proven formula for success in the world of real estate. I have learned that what clients seek most in their broker is honesty, superior service, and market savvy—I pride myself on delivering all three!

I have learned that superior service involves much more than advising you of the fair market value of the property by providing comparable sales statistics and other current market information. Superior service involves:

•          high-quality advertising and marketing

•          consistent follow-up with you, the client, as well as potential buyers and sellers

•          delivering detailed marketing reports to the client on a regular and frequent basis

•          giving personal presentations to brokers and agents

•          skilled assistance in researching material facts and negotiation

•          clear communication of contract terms

I have dealt with many of the brokers and agents on Maui, and I have a good understanding of how they negotiate. I have a well-earned reputation for closing transactions on time, solving problems before they become deal-breakers, and paying close attention to detail. My intent is not to simply sell you a property—I am looking to establish long-term relationships with my clients. I promise to meet or exceed all of your expectations in servicing your real estate needs here on Maui, so that I may earn the right to receive your future business and to be referred to your friends, relatives, and business associates.

Warmest Aloha,
Kathy Ross, PB
