From the very beginning, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident. They approached every step of the process with integrity and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. What truly sets Dennis and Martha apart is their exceptional work ethic and the genuine care they put into their clients.

"Martha was my sellers agent twice before this last sale, this time along with Dennis. All three sales were stress free. Martha and Dennis were on top of everything and quickly dealt any issues that popped up quickly and efficiently. Although I was on the mainland I never had to return to Maui even once to deal with anything. What a blessing. Thank you Martha and Dennis!" -John Macalik


★★★★

"We were looking for a real estate agent in the Spring of 2021 to sell our villa in Wailea Beach Villas. My tennis and golfing buddy lives in a home in Maui Meadows and he introduced us to Dennis and Martha Rush. From the initial consultation to the final closing, Dennis and Martha were very professional, knowledgeable, and always had our best interests in mind. They were patient and understanding, answering all our questions and addressing any concerns we had along the way. Dennis and Martha sold our villa within a few weeks. We were so pleased with the outcome that we engaged them to find us a penthouse in the same complex. But none were available. Fortunately for us Dennis and Martha have many Maui contacts and within a week they found us an owner willing to sell and they guided us through the purchase. We still own the penthouse and Dennis and Martha have become our Maui friends sharing many dinners together at their beautiful home when we come to Maui. We highly recommend Dennis and Martha to anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable, and dedicated real estate professionals. You will get two for the price of one and an invitation to their home for the best New Year’s Eve party in Maui." -Michael Slater


★★★★

" Dennis and Martha were the perfect fit for our Realtor®. Their depth of experience, knowledge and professional approach coupled with their kind, attentiveness made the entire process painless. They went above and beyond with their immediate response to any of our questions or concerns. We always appreciated their honesty and integrity. It's easy to say they deserve all 5 stars, but with a simultaneous sale and purchase they deserve 10!" -Terri Rosie


★★★★

"Dennis and Martha helped me purchase our Maui condo. They took the time to understand our preferences and helped us narrow down which building was the perfect fit. Our primary residence is on the mainland and so I didn't know if that would complicate the closing process. I didn't need to worry; they had experience with that and it made it easy. Communication was great all around and the closing process was well-organized and went smoothly. Thanks Dennis and Martha!" -Allison Herzog


★★★★

"Dennis is a fabulous advisor in the luxury real estate market, especially on the island of Maui!

"Dennis and Martha were excellent in all areas. House sold quickly but closing dragged on, we were always confident that things would work in the best interests of both parties which it did … a few speed bumps but professionally handed by Dennis and Martha!" -Kimberly McColl


★★★★

"Dennis and Martha are the superstars of Maui County real estate! Meticulous attention to detail, outstanding knowledge of the markets, and all the support of the Compass Organization that brings first-class service and terrific results. Can’t recommend them enough." -John Scarlett


★★★★

"My family had the privilege of working with Dennis and Martha for 2 transactions over the past 2 years. In our first purchase, we were unfamiliar with the Maui market and only in town for a few days to purchase a condo. Dennis and Martha were able to quickly gain insights to our true desires and what would make us happy. With this in mind, they guided us to a fabulous condo that fulfilled all our desires and more! Only a year later, we decided we loved Maui so much we wanted to live here full time. Again, with Dennis and Martha's expert guidance, and now in a more competitive market, they found the perfect house for us. Dennis and Martha also negotiated a very fair price in an inflated market! Both transactions were smooth and issue free. This is due to their professionalism and eye to detail. More valuable to us is the kindness and generosity of Dennis and Martha's hearts. We trust them implicitly and highly recommend them to all of our friends and family! In addition, all of their 3rd party referrals are top-notch and we continue to work with them all with great satisfaction. We are so grateful for Dennis and Martha and for the beautiful life in Maui they have helped us to create!" -Swati Jain


★★★★

"We’ve had the honor and privilege of dealing with Dennis and Martha for multiple real estate transactions for over ten years, both as buyers and sellers. As long term and very experienced real estate investors, we’ve rarely experienced such care, consideration, and commitment to getting everything done right. Their professionalism and guidance is unmatched, always going above and beyond. We are so thankful to know them professionally and personally. We wouldn’t use anyone else and highly recommend Dennis and Martha as the most trusted advisors for any real estate transaction. 5 stars is never enough for them. We wish we could give them a perfect 10, or more!" -Rob Davidson


★★★★

"My experience with Dennis and Martha was outstanding. They are true professional. They go far beyond what other realtors would do. I have worked with several different Realtors® in Maui, but would not work with anyone other than Dennis and Martha again." -Bill Fitzpatrick


★★★★

"Dennis and Martha were very professional, communicative, up front and honest during the two transactions we have dealt with them on to date. Would recommend them 100%!" -Rod Hazard


★★★★

"Martha & Dennis earned everyone of those stars and then some when we purchased our condo in Wailea." -Allen Gray


★★★★

"Dennis & Martha were phenomenal to work with. Buying a property off the mainland US could be very tricky. Dennis was able to handle all speed bumps along the way, with ease. Thank you both so much! We will forever love this property ❤️" -Phil Godlewski


★★★★

"Martha and Dennis proved to be rockstar real estate agents. Our experience was exceptional from initial showing through closing. If you are buying or selling in South Maui, go with the best." -Rob McCauley


★★★★

"Working with Dennis and his team was like being part of a well choreographed dance. With Dennis's expertise, the buyer and I were led through the process with ease and a perfect ending; I with a full-price offer and the buyer with the home of his dreams. Thank you Dennis and team!" -Linda Iverson


★★★★

"My wife and I were referred to Dennis and Martha Rush by a dear friend and Compass Realtor® on the Big Island. It was the best referral we could have had. From the beginning of our transaction Dennis and Martha took charge of the process and handled every detail with professionalism and efficiency. We had 3 offers within 24 hours of the property going live and settled on a full price cash offer the very next day. When a Hawaii Land Court petition problem arose, Dennis, Martha, and their team at Fidelity National Title handled all the notification and follow up communications with the Land Court and solved what could have been a months long process in just a couple of weeks. We closed on time and could not have been happier with the service we received from Dennis and Martha. We would highly recommend the Rush folks to any party looking to transact a real estate purchase or sale on Maui. They really know the market and they really know the process!" -Steve Dupuis


★★★★

"Dennis and Martha Rush did an exceptional job marketing our home for sale, resulting in multiple offers in days and opening escrow in a week. They took the time to understand the market and best way to present our home for sale, keeping us up to date on key mile stones along the way. Much Mahalo for their dedicated professional service and advice. Aloha, Karl and Daphne " -Karl Stolmeier


★★★★★

"Dennis recently listed and sold my condo in Maui. The entire process was smooth and stress free and my condo was sold at the price I wanted and within a short time. I am very satisfied with the results. Dennis impressed me with his superior knowledge of the Maui real estate market and vast knowledge of the latest trends in real estate. He recommended the best time to list and sell and the best price to ask for, he was correct on both counts while another broker I had contacted and stated it was not the right time to sell and suggested a much lower price. Maui real estate can be very tricky. I recommend that you get the very best realtor in Maui for the best results and that would be Dennis Rush. " - Gerry & Ines Petterson


★★★★★
"Dennis has been our real estate agent for the past 20 years and we would never use anyone else. In all areas, he excels in representing us with the buying and selling of our homes." - Patti Klayko


★★★★★
"Dennis Rush is a Realtor that truly loves what he does. I just can’t say enough about him. He goes above and beyond whatever you may think. He makes no mistakes. He’s made buying and selling your home easy. Dennis has more knowledge and experience than most realtors. To my amazement he sold my $1,900,000 home in one week." - Marco Defanis


★★★★★
"Although I only happened upon Dennis and Martha Rush by expressing interest online in a condo listed for sale on Maui, you would have thought I was their favorite long-term client! Both were extremely responsive to my many questions, which was key as buying property in a different state from the one in which I reside is fraught with unknowns. Dennis negotiated a superb deal on my behalf and both he and Martha moved me through the process quickly and efficiently. They made what could have been a stressful event, an absolute delight. I recommend them both without hesitation." - Molly Warner


★★★★★
"We have just recently bought and sold property in Maui, thanks to the proficiency of Dennis and Martha Rush. We found them to be exceptional realtors and would highly recommend them to any future buyers or sellers. Their work ethics, reliability, honesty, and professionalism are well above any other realtors that we have used in the past. Their commitment to marketing our unit was outstanding; this included a professional video, which was advertised internationally. They also gave us excellent advice and assistance for our subsequent purchase in Maui. If you are looking for realtors who are dedicated to providing professional services, we would have no hesitation in recommending Dennis and Martha Rush, together with Spring Lee." - Brian & Joan Robertson


★★★★★
"Dennis and Martha were helpful and attentive. They have also been a source of local knowledge as we get our new home set up. We would absolutely work with them in the future and would recommend them to friends and family." - Catherine Tedman


★★★★★
"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Dennis and Martha Rush on our recent purchase of real property on Maui. They are extremely knowledgeable with the purchase of real property. They were able to answer all of our questions in an informative and timely manner. In spite of the trials of COVID, they were able to represent us in the purchase of our new home. I work with many realtors as a real estate attorney and they are among the BEST." - Lisa Johnson


★★★★★
"Dennis found buyers for our Maui condo much more quickly than we anticipated. We very much appreciate the excellent and personal services he and his team provided to us." - Ben Thorne

Dennis did a wonderful job of negotiating and we opened escrow on Monday. We closed escrow on October 8th. Dennis and Martha Rush did a very professional job and made it very easy on me. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again." - Pat Coleman
