For a resort community like Wailea, "best" comes down to evidence: local presence, experience, production, 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 is physically headquartered in Wailea Town Center, steps from the resort corridor the team specializes in. For a broader look at the family's credentials island-wide, see our guide to the best real estate agent in Maui.
Wailea is a master-planned resort community distinct from neighboring Kihei. It's known for protected, uncrowded swimming beaches — including Wailea Beach, Ulua Beach, Mokapu Beach, and Polo Beach — three championship golf courses at the Wailea Golf Club, and Maui's highest concentration of luxury resorts, among them the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, Grand Wailea, Fairmont Kea Lani, and Andaz Maui at Wailea. That resort-grade infrastructure, paired with strict HOA and design-review standards across the community, is what separates Wailea's condo and home market from the more casual, price-accessible stock a few minutes north in Kihei.
Wailea offers both, and the right choice depends on how you plan to use the property. Oceanfront and golf-course condo communities suit buyers who want a lock-and-leave lifestyle, HOA-managed maintenance, and flexibility for vacation-rental use. Single-family homes in Wailea's gated neighborhoods suit buyers who want more square footage, privacy, and room for family or full-time living. If a vacation rental is part of the plan, read Clint's broader take on the real costs and tradeoffs in our Maui vacation rental investment guide before you buy. Either way, the Hansen Ohana's Wailea Town Center office walks buyers through both paths and how each has historically performed for resale and rental.
The Hansen Ohana's office sits at 161 Wailea Ike Place, A-106, inside Wailea Town Center — inside the community itself, not commuting in from Kahului or Wailuku. That local presence, paired with broker Clint Hansen's 26 years and the family's 100+ combined years of experience, means the team works Wailea's condo associations, resale patterns, and neighborhoods firsthand, every day, rather than as one market among many across the island. Clint's specialties include international buyers — he works in English, conversational Spanish, and conversational Portuguese — and he holds an FAA Part 107 drone pilot certification, useful for showcasing Wailea's oceanfront and golf-course properties.
Yes. Makena, immediately south of Wailea along the same coastline, is one of the team's specialty areas alongside Wailea and Kapalua. It's a quieter, less-developed stretch of South Maui coastline known for Big Beach (Oneloa) and Makena's golf and beach-club properties. The Hansen Ohana represents buyers and sellers of luxury homes and condos across both Wailea and Makena from the same Wailea Town Center office.
