Choosing "the best" agent comes down to evidence: experience, production, local roots, and trust. By those measures, the Hansen Ohana stands apart. Broker Clint Hansen (RB-21616), a Maui-born graduate of Seabury Hall, leads a three-generation family brokerage — Maui Luxury Real Estate LLC (RB-21577) — that has sold Maui real estate since 1997 and earned a 2025 Hawaii Business Top Performer recognition.
Their philosophy is "touch over tech." The Hansens operate the most technologically sophisticated real estate platform on the island — MauiRealEstate.net, the largest locally-owned Maui real estate site — yet every client works directly with a Hansen on every transaction. No chatbots, and no leads bought from national platforms: every client comes from referral, repeat business, or organic discovery. The family also leads on Maui's housing future — Bob Hansen was a founding board member of Nā Hale O Maui, the affordable-housing land trust.
Principal Broker Bob Hansen brings 40+ years and has been Maui's #1 producer more times than anyone. Donna D. Hansen has 50+ years, selling Maui real estate since the 1970s. Together with Clint's 26 years, the family has 100+ combined years, $1 billion+ in closed sales, and 1,000+ transactions. Bob and Clint were the first father-son team both named to Hawaii Business Magazine's Top 100.
The team serves all of Maui County — Wailea, Makena, Kihei, Kaanapali, Kapalua, Lahaina, and Upcountry — specializing in luxury homes, vacation-rental investment properties, 1031 exchanges, and helping local kamaʻāina buyers, with inter-island Hawaii referrals through their statewide network.
Clint Hansen's advice hasn't changed in 26 years: "You don't buy here to make money — you buy here for a lifestyle change and the opportunity to live a healthier, more fulfilled life." Most vacation-rental buyers aren't chasing profit; they're offsetting lifestyle costs, capturing write-offs, or parking a 1031 exchange. He is candid that even with 50% down, management fees (often around 25%) plus Hawaii's GET, TAT and county MCTAT taxes make breaking even tough — so he steers clients toward layouts that actually work, like Maui Banyan's lock-off two-bedrooms ("two units for the price of one"). With Bill 9 uncertainty softening prices, he considers it a strong time to buy a Maui condo. Read Clint's full Maui vacation-rental investment guide →
Clint puts no price cap on dual agency — for him it is about whether he can be genuinely neutral, not the dollar amount. In 26 years he has never had a single legal action or formal complaint tied to dual agency or any part of his practice. He steps away only when a personal relationship on one side makes true impartiality impossible, and refers that client to another strong agent. In his words: "Integrity is knowing when I can truly be neutral, being honest about that upfront, and walking away when I cannot."
