We could toot our own horn, but we'd rather let our clients do the talking for us.

Genesis is timely, faultless, dynamic, gregarious, and vital. He was paramount through our process of finding a home, communicating, making an offer, completing documents, closing, and preparing to move in. From his first greeting, through turning keys, he has been with us and still is. I am very happy with everything and would recommend him to all interested in finding a home for your Ohana.

Teaming up with Genesis meets or exceeds expections when buying a home especially as a first time home buyer. He has done an awesome job with my transaction, making it smooth and straight to the point. He really pays attention to the smallest details and was very informative. He’s always one step ahead when it comes to questions I may have not known to ask. Genesis is definitely the man to work with when it comes to home buying and would highly recommend!

Genesis has truly become someone our family trusts and values not only as a realtor but as a friend. He’s knowledgeable, easy to talk to and most importantly, gets things done in a quick and timely matter! He was able to find us an amazing off market property. It took longer then expected but Genesis persevered and helped us push towards the end. We will continue to work with Genesis and we look forward to seeing him surpass his highest potential in his career and life!

Genesis is amazing to work with! As a first time homebuyer, I had many questions about the whole process, but he was quick to respond to all of my concerns and offer valuable insight on current market trends, etc. From quickly setting up showings based on our last minute requests to sending little reminders because I was nearing my deadlines, I really appreciated his patience and attention to detail which ultimately helped make my whole home buying process a breeze! If I didn't just purchase my forever home, I would definitely work with Genesis again!!

Genesis is truly something else. He went above and beyond to help our family purchase our first home. We would not have gotten the keys to our forever home without his relentless pursuit and positive energy. His guidance and expertise made this experience so easy for us. The market on Maui is extremely competitive and the fact that he made it happen is incredible. Thank you Genesis for helping to change the path of our family. We have not only gained a home, but also a friendship. Thank you!!

Genesis did an EXCELLENT job all around. He's knowledgeable, very responsive but most of all genuine. He will tell you straight up if it's a good deal or not and that's the best trait about him. It being our first home/investment property he told us exactly what to expect and walked us through everything in great detail. He is person you want on your team when making the biggest financial decision in your life. He is a RISING STAR in the real estate industry. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

This review has been a long time coming, not because of Genesis Buduan, of Coldwell Bankers, but because I needed the time to decompress after the over year long process of selling my home four times. Genesis stood beside me with his creativity, knowledge, and GREAT sensitivity. At every turn he had my best interests in mind, he went above and beyond to make every escrow we entered successful despite problems that arose from the buyers side. During the fourth escrow Covid-19 lockdown came to be, and Genesis allayed my fears of the 4th escrow following the first three.
These words can not completely express my feelings or gratitude towards Genesis. He will be the only person I would call to buy or sell in the future, as well as, he comes highly recommended in all aspects of Real Estate.

My husband and I had the good fortune of working with Genesis Buduan of Coldwell Banker Island Properties, Kahului branch, in the purchase of a home on Maui. This is not our first purchase on Maui and we've worked with several different agents over the years. Genesis is absolutely the best agent we've had the pleasure of working with. He sincerely enjoys working with his clients and works very hard at ensuring your property purchase goes smoothly. He responds to calls, emails and texts immediately and keeps you informed of all phases of the real estate transaction. If you are looking for a real estate agent on Maui, that you can trust to have your best interest at heart, who is honest, easy to work with, and will make buying property less stressful, contact Genesis Buduan at Coldwell Banker Island Properties in Kahului. You won't be disappointed.

She had just bought a house and said Genesis made the process smooth as it can be.I reached out to Genesis about buying a home and was very enthusiastic, friendly and eager to help us first time home buyers. As soon as I reached out to him, he asked what type of home we were searching for and sent us listings right away to see what we were interested in.Genesis is always on top of things, if not, two step ahead. He goes above and beyond for his clients and it shows how much passion he has for his craft.He made sure we were sticking to deadlines and our timeline. He was always available, be it a weekend, a busy week day or even late at night. He is also very flexible and works around our busy schedules to set up showing appointments and meetings.When we found “the home” for us, he made sure we understood each step of the timeline and made time to explain every little detail and guided us in each step we took. He is very knowledgeable about his line of work and it shows! He made the process smooth sailing as possible, no stress! We did not feel pressured and he made us feel comfortable all the way through. Working with him has been a pleasure!As first time home buyers, we appreciate all the effort, hard work and patience you had for us!

Before we close out 2020 I’d like to say thank you to Genesis. Glad we chose him as our realtor to help through the mostly puzzling process of buying a home for the first time. He was very attentive to what we wanted and our needs. Highly recommended to anyone who needs a little or a lot of help to purchasing your very own home. Thank you for your time and guidance Genesis!

Where do I even start? Let's just say that Genesis was amazing to work with! We felt very comfortable working with him from the start and felt as if we had known Genesis for a very long time despite just meeting him. Genesis was very friendly and welcoming. He didn't make us feel pressured and we felt that we could trust him and be open with him about what we did or didn't want/like.
This was our first home-buying experience and Genesis made it as simple as possible. We really didn't know what to expect throughout the entire process, but Genesis made it a very pleasant experience. He stayed organized with deadlines and always kept us informed and in the loop. Genesis was very flexible; he always accommodated our schedules. He'd also answer any and every little question that we had. If he didn't know the answer, he'd get it for you. Genesis is very knowledgeable and has taught us so much through this entire process.
There's just so much that I could say about Genesis, but overall I'd like to say that he is amazing at what he does! He loves his job and you can clearly see that he cares for his clients. He really does go above and beyond! He has made our first home-buying experience one that we will never forget and we are so glad that we had him to guide us through it all. We look forward to working with Genesis again in the future!

I’ve known Genesis for many years. So when my husband and I decided to take on the next step, I knew I could count on Gen. we had no idea where to even start or knew any information on how to purchase a home/ condo. Gen took the time to sit down with us and go over every single thing. He was so patient and explained everything so that we could fully understand. He answered all the questions we had, which was a lot! My husband and I didn’t really know what we were really looking for when we first started. Gen made it possible to have us look at many different options to help us figure out what we wanted. He was able set up showings quickly due to my busy work schedule. He was very easy to work with. He set up email alerts for homes/ condos that were in our price range. I was able to reach him at all hours with home showing request or if I had more questions. He was very professional and very easy to talk to. I never felt rushed or felt like I was bothering him. When we finally found a home we loved, he helped set us up with an incredible lender. They both worked very hard to close on the house. My husband and I closed on the house 2 weeks early, which was absolutely amazing. Gens knowledge with the island and his thrive to succeed makes him an outstanding realtor. Thank you so much Gen for creating such a memorable experience, we love you.

Genesis Buduan was the man from Day 1. :)
Always on point with research, super knowledgeable of the ins and outs of his field and very attentive to our unique family’s needs. As first time homebuyers we appreciated how how accessible he was and how he was able to immediately answer almost every single question we had. He also was very good with communication and he went above and beyond with groundwork all the way until closing day.
Mahalo Genesis!

For all things real estate, Genesis has you covered! I had the pleasure of working with Genesis to sell my condo on Maui while I was in the process of relocating. I… actually “met” Genesis while networking on social media, as I was interested in learning more about a career in real estate for myself. Genesis was always very positive and knowledgeable about all things real estate, so when the time came that I made the decision to sell my own place, I asked him to meet with me to discuss strategy and timeline to sell. Genesis was very eager to help, and I could not be more pleased with the end results! He helped me get the price I was looking for with few contingencies. He marketed my condo and did a great job handling all communication and presenting offers quickly and in a fair manner. Genesis was a true pleasure to work with and I could see his professionalism with all interactions, ranging from his dealings with potential buyers and agents, to third parties such as appraisers and lenders in the transaction. He was always very polite with all neighbors in my complex and you can see it is very evident he is passionate about what he does. Genesis seems to find real joy in helping people, which is the best quality you could ask for when trusting someone with such a big transaction such as buying or selling a home. I would highly recommend Genesis for any real estate related needs you have, and I am pleased to say I can now call Genesis my realtor, mentor, and friend. Mahalo, Genesis!

Upon meeting Genesis, you are immediately struck by his kindness and joie de vivre. He has this beautiful energy that people are drawn to.
After a somewhat underwhelming experience with another real state agent, Genesis was heaven sent. As a first-time home buyer, I got anxious and nervous about decisions I would take along the process, but Genesis is very knowledgeable and informative. He made every step of the way easy to understand and ensured that all of our t’s were crossed and l’s dotted prior to the close of escrow. He was always two steps ahead of any thoughts we had, and so we felt implicitly supported throughout the whole buying journey. Genesis would answer texts, calls, and emails anytime for any questions or to give reassurance. He was also not afraid to give his honest opinion. He did an excellent job of listening to us and guiding us. He provided us a thorough walkthrough and then stepped off to the side to allow us the opportunity to discuss our thoughts privately. He was neither pushy nor did have his interests at the forefront. I felt that he cared about the biggest investment I was about to make- buying our home.
He is very professional and always willing to go the extra mile to help. He was prompt with every appointment and kept us informed every step of the way. Not only that - he is amazingly fun which is so refreshing as buying a home can be an emotional and potentially stressful journey.
My family and I feel very fortunate and blessed to know Genesis. If you are looking for an amazing, extremely friendly, and professional realtor to buy or list your home, I would 10/10 recommend Genesis Buduan. He is the real deal.

Our realtor Genesis Buduan of Caldwell Banker Island Properties, exceeded expectations and helped make our Maui condo dream a reality. He is very responsive and on top of all timelines. He took the time to understand our Maui property goals and suggested properties that were a fit. This streamlined the process of finding the property that was perfect for us. Genesis gave us all the facts plus local insight regarding the properties and surrounding areas. He guided us through the sometimes tumultuous process of home buying especially during this unprecedented time. Also Genesis is friendly, the embodiment of Aloha Spirit. I recommend Genesis Buduan as your realtor. We plan to work with Genesis again in the future.

Our experience with Genesis was awesome, we were extremely impressed with his dedication to his clients. As a first time home buyer we were clueless in the home buying process. Genesis â took us by the handâ and made sure we understood everything that is happening, and what to expect. From scheduling homes for us to view, to negotiating a lower price for our home, we could always trust him to do what was in our best interest. All in all Genesis is proficient in his craft and is passionate to helping clients get the results they want. I will most definitely call on his services for any real estate purchases/sales in the future.

Genesis was so awesome to work with. He has such an amazing personality that he made home buying so much fun. I’ve heard many stories on how the home buying experience can be quite frustrating, but that was just the opposite with us. Genesis walked us thru everything step of the way, and explained in detail anything we were unsure of to make sure we understood what we were signing. We even got to close on our condo 2 weeks earlier than expected! He was very knowledgeable and really got to know and understand our family needs. Which made it very meaningful. We definitely recommend Genesis to anyone buying a home or even thinking about it!

We truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We honestly couldn’t have done this without you! We appreciate you, your time and effort, and being patient with us! Thank you again Genesis! As my husband would say “You da man! Cheeeee!”

Teaming up with Genesis Buduan to find my first home on Maui was a great partnership! He is extremely personable and took time and detail to find out what I was exactly looking for. He helped me to get an idea of what was possible and then made it a reality. I had dreamt of buying property on island for quite some time but being a single individual, I thought it would be a long shot and that I would spend months to years looking. Through Genesis' strong network on island, his aggressiveness in the market and proactive communication, he was able to find me a condo very quickly! I live only part time on Maui but Genesis was able to coordinate with me when I was there and also offered different methods to show me properties. Also, he's really great with his understanding of the market and knowing if the price is right. Throughout the searching and escrow process, Genesis was extremely helpful. Being that I am a new homeowner and new to the market, he explained everything thoroughly and made sure I knew what I was signing and getting myself into. His response time is very, very quick and made this process very smooth. We did most of our interactions via phone and email because I am on the mainland most of the time but we closed escrow without a hiccup. I'd love the chance to work with Genesis in the future and I trust him to help me find what I am looking for and to seal the deal. Thanks Genesis!

Karen & Justin(Buyers)
I’ve known Genesis from being my cousins good friend and was happy to have someone near and dear to family to be our realtor. Our situation was a tough one, with being pregnant and my due date was around the same time as our closing date. But Genesis was so helpful in making sure we could provide and secure a roof under our newborns head. He has shown great professionalism while working with us. Being prompt with our questions and actively listening to any of our concerns is something that we admire.
Being first time homebuyers, we didn’t understand a lot of the terminology. Genesis was there to answer any questions we had any time of the day. And even after we closed, he is still there to help with any house questions we have.
Genesis has shown great dedication towards his job and would recommend him to any of our close friends and family. He’s very punctual, reliable, and overall professional. He made our dreams become a reality.

Clayton & Ashley(Buyers)
Where do we begin? First of all we just want to start by saying that Genesis has been amazing during our home buying process. We’ve known genesis for many years, which was the first of the many reasons why we chose him as our realtor (We knew we would have a lot of dumb questions as we are first time home buyers and didn’t want to feel too shame to ask them). He was always a text/call away for any concerns and ensured us of timelines and due dates. One of his great traits is that he is very personable, so even if you don’t already know him, he has a way of making you feel like you’ve known him as long as we have. It translates across the board as he was constantly speaking to all parties of this experience, making communication seamless.
If it wasn’t for Genesis, this experience definitely would not have gone as smooth as it did. In fact, if it wasn’t for his attention to detail we probably wouldn’t have closed on our home as fast as we did. We could go on and on about why he was a great fit for us, but the main reason why we went with Genesis is that you can tell he loves what he does. He seems to always be looking for ways to learn new things to master his craft. It’s very refreshing to work with someone who’s as passionate about their career as he is.
We really just want to say thank you to Genesis for helping us get into our new home for our little family. This is a huge stepping stone for us and we are so glad that he was there to guide us through it all. Years from now when it’s time to purchase our forever home we know exactly who we’re working with. But for now we’re going to enjoy being first time home owners :)

Genesis has been nothing but wonderful during our whole experience. My family and I came to Genesis to sell our property. We were completely clueless about what to do but Genesis took care of everything and explained everything, detail by detail. You knew exactly what you were getting yourself into and how to go about certain things. You can tell that Genesis is very passionate about his career and what he does. He never gave up on us, even after having many setbacks (which were not his fault at all). He was very dedicated to us and making us happy. At the end of the whole process, it felt as if he was part of our family. He always kept us in the loop, was always a phone call or a text away. He was always there to answer our questions and in a way we would all understand. Genesis has such great knowledge about the industry. You can tell he cares about all of his clients and his work in general. My family and I are extremely grateful that we have worked with Genesis. You will not find someone better or more dedicated than him.
