Testimonials

Jessica is the best!!! We are so thankful to have found her. She took on our complicated situation and made it happen. It was such a relief to know she was taking care of everything. She went above and beyond over and over. If I could give her 10 stars I would!!

We selected Jessica to be our realtor after a not so good experience with a different realtor. She knows the Maui market, is personable, communicates well, and most important...responsive! She invested her time and aloha spirit into our real estate search and made solid recommendations. We would highly recommend her for all of your real estate needs in Maui!

Thanks to Jessica I found the perfect condo in Lahaina! She is the most knowledgeable and thorough realtor on Maui (no wonder she was voted the best in 2022 😉). She helped me out in every step of the way, having my back and making sure all was nice and smooth. We also closed in 30 days 🙌 She was constantly sending emails and on the phone checking on everything. I can't imagine going through this process without her. Please do yourself a favor and call her if you need to buy or sell property on island.

Jessica Baker was an absolute pleasure to work with. We initially sat down with her to lay out our 3-4 year vision of acquiring property on the Westside. She treated us as though we were her top priority from day 1 even though it would likely be many years until we became clients. She asked great questions, listened intently, and advised us wisely on the specific areas of the Westside we should focus on. She had an incredible amount of knowledge on so many properties and developments. Unexpectedly a property hit the market and popped up in our email as a potential match. Again..we were 3-4 years out from being ready...or so I thought. 2 1/2 months after sitting with Jessica we made an offer on a property and opened escrow. She stepped up big time and took on full ownership of every aspect of the due diligence and closing process. She advocated and negotiated for us like a true pro. Her positive, upbeat attitude and outlook gave us confidence we were going to make the dream of Westside Maui ownership a reality. I feel we became friends in the process and truly believe our Westside life will include an occasional meetup with Jessica to enjoy a cocktail hour or even a Saturday morning swim at Airport Beach.

It took a while for us to start this review because we know words won’t do Jessica justice. She is simply great at what she does. After too many years of waiting, we finally made the decision to move our family to Maui. We somehow came across Jessica’s information online after talking with several other realtors on Maui. After speaking with Jessica, we knew she was the right fit for us given her experience, positivity, and demeanor. Since our home search would be performed remotely, we were seeking someone to be honest with us and that would challenge us in the event we got tunnel-vision at any point in the buying process — someone that would keep it real and be our teammate rather than an impersonal, transactional agent. Jessica was the perfect fit. Our home search started remotely from the mainland in the midst of the crazy market in October of 2021. After flying out to Maui on short-notice on a weekend, Jessica spent several of her weekend days to bring us on neighborhood tours on Maui. While we were familiar with neighborhoods on Maui after visiting for many years, Jessica provided invaluable context that only a local would know for different neighborhoods and areas of the island that we just weren’t aware of. This helped provide clarity and a deeper understanding of listings when they popped up during our search. In November, our spirits were almost broken when a deal fell through on a property due to a seller’s behavior — nothing that was Jessica’s fault. Jessica helped us to remain positive through this “loss”. While we didn’t believe it when she said it, she insisted a better house for us would come. From November to January, Jessica drove to several other houses on our behalf, providing detailed and honest video tours at each property. Around this time, the Maui market exploded. Prices were increasing drastically week-to-week, and, as a kicker, interest rates increased. At the rate prices were increasing, we were fearful that we were almost priced out of Maui. Jessica helped to keep us grounded and talked us out of panic-offers on several houses that just weren’t the right fit. In January, Jessica promptly got into a home to tour it for us right when it hit the market. While it wasn’t what we were originally looking for, it unexpectedly fit all of our needs in a great neighborhood. With Jessica’s advice, we were able to place such competitive offer that the seller accepted it without reviewing any other offers. While we were impressed with Jessica before our offer was accepted, we were even more impressed with her through the escrow period. Our closing was performed in one month after contract date. In that one month, Jessica kept everything organized for us, suggested awesome inspectors and contractors and timely scheduled them, and ensured we were aware of each milestone to closing. We finally closed in February 2022! Jessica helped make our dream come true in an awesome home and even better neighborhood. After closing, Jessica still continued helping us, providing us with an amazing contact to help maintain our home. This long and detailed review was the only way we could explain how great Jessica is. We hope it illustrated her - passion to help you find your home - patience throughout your craziness - willingness to champion for you and invest in you - ability to truly understand your wants and needs and the ability to execute on them Her responsiveness, punctuality, and upbeat personality will make you feel like you’re her only clients. Do yourself a favor and work with Jessica Baker.

My husband and I had our honeymoon in Maui and fell in love with the island. :) When we decided to purchase our second home in Kihei, the decision was exciting but also overwhelming as we are new to the real estate market in Hawaii. With a lot to learn and many considerations, we knew we needed a strong leader to guide us through the process and best represent our interests. When I met Jessica, I knew instantly she was the perfect fit! Jessica made the home buying journey incredibly smooth and stress-free for us. She is extremely detail oriented and provided us with thorough explanations of each step in the process as well as a wealth of information about Maui home owners associations, unique Hawaiian real estate laws, differences in home buying on island vs. the mainland, and pros/cons about various locations, complexes, etc. In addition to her expertise, Jessica is a proactive and clear communicator. She is quick to respond and reach out to different parties in the transaction- making sure that documents and tasks are actioned on time and efficiently. If there was any issue, she would present us with multiple options explaining the benefits of each so that we could choose the best course of action. Jessica truly goes above and beyond expectations to deliver successful outcomes for her clients. We recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase their dream home in Maui and are so excited to have our little place in paradise! Mahalo Jessica~
