McEntire Realty Information

McEntire Realty has been operating successfully in South Maui for 11 years now as a family-owned boutique style brokerage firm that prides itself on a high level of customer service. We are not the largest company on Maui and we don't intend to be. In our opinion, the larger the company the more difficult it becomes to provide high-level, quality personalized service. We would rather turn down business than have too much of it and not be able to deliver a consistently high level of quality service. So if you want the biggest company to work with, then keep looking. But if you find it appealing to have a higher and more personable level of service without having to pay anything additional for it, then please let us know how we can assist you with either your sales or property management needs. Here is a look at our team (family):Don McEntireDon McEntire took an unconventional route to becoming a real estate brokerage firm owner on Maui. After graduating from college at the University of Utah he began teaching Spanish and coaching basketball at the high school level. He says, "I really enjoyed teaching Spanish and coaching basketball but it didn't pay very well. So I began looking for ways to supplement my income and I started investing in real estate. In a short time I was making more money from my part-time investing efforts than I was from teaching and coaching full-time. That was more than 25 years ago so he obviously made the right career decision. He went from investing in real estate to assisting others with their real estate investments, and eventually became a top producing sales agent, and then later opened his own real estate brokerage in Salt Lake City, Utah. However, he found it increasingly difficult to leave Maui after visiting relatives on the island, only to return home to colder weather. He recalls "Maui completely enchanted me from the very first visit. I used to tell people that I would move here someday but nobody believed me until I did it. He further explains, "I grew up in a cold climate but I really got tired of the cold weather. I love living on Maui. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the good fortune of being able to live and work in one of the most beautiful places on earth."
