Searching For Maui Beachfront Houses? By Susan Truett

Who wouldnt want to move into a Maui beachfront house? From the custom architectural jobs done on many Maui homes, to the beautiful beaches and other natural attractions in Maui, youre bound to find something you will love about Maui beachfront houses. However, like any home buying process, youll need to make sure several things are in order before you make your move into your new Maui beachfront house. Here are suggestions for finding some of the best homes in Maui, as well as ways to keep your budget in order during the home purchasing process.

When you first decide you want to purchase a Maui beachfront house, take a serious look at your finances to determine how soon you can move. Most people that are looking to buy homes in Maui either dont already live in Hawaii, or are purchasing the property as a summer home, so make sure have adequate expenses if this is the case for you. If you plan on moving to Maui permanently, create a timeline for yourself. Put aside money each month until the move to have bills (including the mortgage) taken care of for at least the first two months youre in Maui.

While youre searching, use all the resources that are available to you. Look for Maui beachfront houses online as often as you can, since you may not be able to make a trip to the island several times before you move (but if you can, why not go?). All of the details youll need to help you figure out which Maui beachfront houses may be available online, especially if youre looking for a summer home. Most homes have four or five bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and youll have direct access to the beach, which is one of the most important features. Internet access is also available in most vacation homes, and the windows in most homes (especially in the kitchen and living rooms) have great ocean views. So, it may be a good idea to take a vacation or two in Maui, so that you can get a feel for what you like in a Hawaiian home; this way, youll know just what to tell a realtor that youre looking for.

Searching for a real estate agent in Maui can be a fairly simple process as well. You can contact agents online, and you may want to have a few phone conversations with a real estate agent in Maui in order to interview certain agents to see who you would be most comfortable with. Be sure to view the real estate agents credentials online as well, so that youll know how qualified he or she is before you make the call. Also, take a look at the photos that may be included on real estate agency websites so that you can see homes that have been previously sold. Youll also want to ask the real estate agent you choose about the various beaches in Maui, so that you can select homes in areas that are close to the water. There are a number of beautiful homes in neighborhoods near the Paia Beaches, Lahaina Beaches, and Wailea Beaches, so ask your real estate agent about homes in these areas based on how many rooms you want and how close you want to be to the ocean. Start your real estate search today; you could be moving into a Maui beachfront house sooner than you think.
