Biography
Serving Buyers and Sellers in Central, South, Up Country and North Shore Maui - Single Family Homes, Vacant Land, Condos
My passion for real estate can be traced back to my mother. She loved to visit open houses and always took me with her as a child. What took my real estate passion to the next level was when my mom finally convinced my dad to remodel their home. At the age of 18, I put on a tool belt and helped with the addition. After completing that project, my dream was to someday build my own house, which is finally coming true today, as I am building my forever home here on beautiful Maui. My other passion is helping people. It was something seriously missing in my previous career in high tech marketing. Now, by combining both passions as a REALTOR – Broker, I get to help make other people’s dreams come true.
Testimonials
Roy was an exceptional agent in every sense. He took on my listing at a very difficult stage in the real estate market when values and sales were both down. He was tenacious in his efforts to get good offers and did all he could to show the property, negotiate a good price and keep me abreast of important details throughout the entire process. He also kept others in the loop as well, like the on-island rental agency who handled my property for me, as well as the complex property management. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to list their property on Maui.
When my family decided to sell their undeveloped lot in Wailuku, Mr. Vandoorn handled our property transaction in a highly efficient and professional manner. Though we live in Southern California, Roy kept us fully informed on every step in the process, clearly explaining all the legal aspects and providing his experienced judgment on property values and buyer proposals. He even handled a bureaucratic snafu regarding a water meter installation. Despite the ongoing real estate situation, my family was quite satisfied with the final sales price. Looking back, I don't believe we would have sold our lot so quickly or for a similar amount without Roy's assistance -- indeed, had he not personally interceded with the County of Maui on our behalf we might have lost months waiting for a water meter permit.
As first time home buyers, my wife and I felt somewhat overwhelmed by whole home-buying process. However, Roy was there for us every step of the way and always had time to answer our many questions and ensure that we felt comfortable with everything. We never felt rushed, pressured, or otherwise pushed in any direction. Instead Roy worked closely with us, guiding us though the entire home-buying process, in a truly professional, yet personal manner. His knowledge of the local real-estate market was truly impressive, while his expertise of the entire home-buying process was masterful. With his guidance and help, we were able to find a stunning home and purchase it at an incredible bargain. After almost a year in the house, we could not be happier. We will always be thankful to Roy for helping us achieve our dream of owing a home!
Roy was extremely helpful in locating a property that was perfect for our needs. His detailed analysis of comparable units in our area and our complex allowed us to make an informed decision. Roy's understanding of real estate law and his ability to keep us informed throughout the process made our purchase seamless and enjoyable.
Roy is a very honest, trustworthy realtor with a great deal of knowledge about the Island of Maui and the housing market there. Being first-time home buyers he made us feel very comfortable with the home-buying process, and he was incredibly patient and flexible with regard to our ever-changing needs/wants. We would certainly consider using his services if ever we chose to move in the future.
Both my wife and I are very impressed with the time, thought, patience, and detail Roy provided us as he lead us through the buying of a condo in Kihei. He organized a three day field trip; including a resource book on each of the condo units we looked at as well as background information on each complex. We covered a lot of territory and spoke with each manager. He fine tuned our search; we discussed the pro's and con's of each during our search. It took several months and many offers before we were successful; we believe we bought the best unit for us! Roy handled everything and even though we live on the mainland Roy made the buying of our condo an easy process. Every detail was handled efficiently and properly: pre and post inspections, financing, and follow up, and even checking on our unit while we remained on the mainland. We have passed Roy's name to friends who have been looking to buy in Maui.
