I met Genesis one day at Maui Coffee Roasters my favorite place where you never know who you’ll meet. We got to talking story I was talking about my husband and he about his father and then he said can you hold a moment I’m typing up a listing and then I said wow you’re a realtor and I told him my real estate story and how I had a friend Napua, who was my friend for 30 years Who would be my realtor if I didn’t sell it without listing it. He just sold the house up the block from me that day. It was divine intervention I know.
I invited him up the following week to take a look at my property.
Amazing story is that Napua needed to travel to see her sister she asked if they could co list it together and Genesis took the reins.
He has an amazing team and he is so energetic and professional, and he dives right in so beautifully.
He has a wonderful presence.
And he’s humble. He has a certain quality in his communication with all parties.
I appreciated his quick attention to details, How he put together the print work so beautifully and scheduled the showing within three days of listing the property and we had a very successful open house day.
I appreciate his team all over the world, keeping me updated with the weekly timeline was excellent.
And we really became friends despite the age difference.
I Admire him greatly. All while he was planning his wedding And pursuing other deals, he gracefully completed my sale.
Even in the last week, he and his teammate Rayden took it upon themselves to clear the last of my property doing a couple dump runs so that the final walk-through was perfect.
I believe He is paving a bright future for himself and others. And it’s beautiful to see the next generation making their dreams come true on Maui.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Genesis on the sale of a condo in Kahului, where he represented the seller and I represented the buyer. Throughout the transaction, Genesis maintained a positive and professional attitude, making the process seamless and enjoyable. His communication and follow-up were excellent, and he had a fantastic transaction coordinator who helped keep everything on track. It was a smooth and well-managed transaction, and I truly appreciate his professionalism. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future!

"This is my second transaction in five years with Genesis, and I couldn’t be more pleased! From the very beginning, he made me feel confident and informed every step of the way. Genesis is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and his dedication to finding the perfect home while negotiating the best deal is unparalleled. He truly listens to his clients and tailors his approach to meet their needs, making each experience feel personalized and stress-free.
What really sets Genesis apart is his exceptional communication. He’s always available to answer questions, offer advice, and handle any concerns—making the entire process smooth and seamless. His attention to detail and commitment to his clients is evident, and I always feel like I’m in great hands. My family is also very appreciative of his hard work and care throughout each transaction.
If you’re buying or selling, I highly recommend Genesis. After two successful transactions with him, I can confidently say that he goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best possible experience!"

Genesis is an outstanding realtor! I first reached out to Genesis in 2021, however we still needed time to save for a down payment. At the beginning of this year, I reached out to him to let him know we were finally ready! We are incredibly grateful to have had him as our realtor. Genesis expertly guided us through the entire process, always available to answer our questions, whether by message or call. He also recommended us to our fantastic loan officer. Though we encountered a few setbacks with our offers, Genesis stayed committed, and we ultimately had an offer accepted. We are forever grateful and will definitely work with him again if ever needed in the future. Mahalo Genesis!

After going through the devastating trauma from the Lahaina Wildfire, we were suddenly faced with the most difficult decision of a lifetime; to sell or not to sell my parents’ home. We wanted a realtor who was dependable, yet understanding, of our position. At that point, Genesis immediately came to mind. Not just because he's my nephew, but also due to his many years experiences as a professional real estate agent. He’s proven to be attentive, sincere, honest, knowledgeable, humble, and ready to be of assistance while keeping a positive outlook. He is able to easily comprehend his client’s vision during the home buying and selling process. Whether it's a first-time seller or repeat client, Genesis can be seen on the forefront, representing his client in the most respectable and honorable ways! Even on hard days, he stood beside us, doing his best to bring an even brighter light to the spectrum! His ability to understand his client’s specific needs on all levels including emotionally, mentally, and financially, is what makes him unique, and ultimately leads to a mutual, win-win situation at the end with seller and buyer.
Selling our parents’ home in Lahaina where they lived since 1995 was not an easy transaction. We had multiple bumps and false hopes throughout our journey of selling as well as buying a replacement home in central area. However, Genesis remained calm, humble, cheerful, and hopeful. He has put us on a pedestal, making us his highest priority at every single step of the selling and buying process. No matter how difficult the situation was, he’s demonstrated resilience by taking the necessary steps to effectively communicate, implement, innovate and ensure we got to “yes”! He’s continued to exemplify patience, humility, and customer focus in its highest degree to ensure he and his team were guiding, delivering, and staying on top of their game! His emotional capacity to navigate through four extremely high-strung individuals with conflicting ideas was truly commendable! I honestly don’t know how he does it, but that’s what makes Genesis uniquely unparalleled; one who beamingly shines amongst any crowd! Genesis’ passion with his work is evident in the way he presents himself; exuberating the Ambassador of Aloha while demonstrating great qualities. His excellence in communicating, following up and providing updates always made us feel at ease. Even if the updates were not positive, he remained honest, respectful and focused, which we always appreciated. He made sure we kept moving forward together, working towards a win-win result for both parties! And, this is the type of experiences Genesis Buduan will pave along the way to deliver a flawless, sincere, honest, and a highly satisfying transaction!
I will choose Genesis again for future real estate transaction because he soars above our expectations as a realtor, representing us in the highest regards, as sellers and buyers!
Mahalo for your guidance, patience, and utmost passion to serve us, Gen. We truly appreciate everything you’ve undertaken and championed to make this journey a truly memorable and joyous experience for all of us! Your team is so fortunate to have you….for you breathe, live, and embody what “excellence in customer service” is all about! Best of luck to more success stories!!!

Genesis is one the best in the business! After we lost our home in the Lahaina fire, our family made a decision to find another home since we were unsure when we will be able to rebuild in Lahaina again. My husband knew Genesis for many years and we wanted someone who had our best interest at heart to help us find our new home. Genesis, along with his team, made our home buying process very easy and were able to move into our new home right away. Genesis always had a positive outlook despite everything that we’ve been through, and that’s what sets him apart from anyone else. My family and I are forever grateful for all that you’ve done for us. Thank you again Genesis!

Genesis represented our family in selling their first home they bought in the 70's. Making this work for both sides was challenging and there were a lot of moving parts but thank goodness it was Genesis who helped us. His patience, knowledge and most importantly his innovative thinking is what impressed us the most. His thinking outside of the box is what made it work for everyone involved.
This is the SECOND real estate transaction we did with Genesis and both times were 5-star experiences. Thank you again for everything you did for us!!!

I’ve known Genesis for several years as we both worked for TSA at the Kahului Airport. His demeanor and professionalism carried him up the ranks from officer to Lead officer to Supervisor in a short amount of time. Once he sets his mind on a specific goal he will stop at nothing to target and reach that goal. This is why Genesis was our realtor of choice when we decided to sell our house. I knew from prior experience working with him that he and his team would get the job done. What we didn’t realize was how quickly the whole process would take. After only 2 showings on consecutive days Genesis obtained 7 very good offers. We literally closed the deal in 3 days. What was very satisfying was knowing that our house went to a family who lost everything in the Lahaina fire disaster. I would highly recommend anyone in the market to buy or sell a home to contact Genesis as you will be rewarded with friendly, expert knowledge and professionalism during all phases of the transaction. Thank you Genesis and team for all you did for our Moore Ohana.

When I decided it was time to buy a home for my family I remembered seeing a post of a childhood friend from my old neighborhood who became a realtor. I wanted to make sure I felt comfortable with my realtor and that I could trust them as well. It was also important to me to have a realtor who was locally raised on Maui. I gave Genesis a call and made an appointment to chat with him. With how expensive Maui has gotten I wasn’t even sure if buying a home here was in the cards for us. After meeting with Genesis on 7/12/2023 I left feeling confident and inspired. I knew in my heart after talking to Genesis that I would have a home here on Maui. On 9/29/2023 we had the keys to our home. He also was able to get our home $90,000 under the asking price! Genesis always made me feel like he was looking out for what was best for us. Being that I work two jobs my schedule is hectic and Genesis was always willing to work around me even having house showings with me on FaceTime while I was working. Any questions that we had during the home buying process Genesis would always make us feel like our smallest questions were important. I think the most important experience about this journey with him was I never felt like I was working with someone who was trying to just sell me a house, I always felt like I was trying to fulfill a dream and I had a blessing making sure he blocked or smoothed out any obstacles that would make my dreams not come true .Working with Genesis was truly a blessing and I would definitely recommend him a billion times over again. If you want to work with someone who is humble and patient, he’s definitely your guy!

When we had decided back in February 2023 to look into an investment property in Maui, we had no idea where to start. An Instagram search of “Maui Realtor” led us to Genesis. I sent him a follow request and an email. He was super responsive and got back to me that same day. Since we are from CA, he scheduled a virtual meeting with us to get to know us and answer the millions of questions we had. After one meeting with him, we knew we were in good hands. Throughout the entire process Genesis was readily available to answer questions, look at properties (and FaceTime us to show us), and so much more. It was so nerve wracking for us to be doing this from so far away, but Genesis and his team made it easy. From online searches to closing the deal on a property, he made it such an easy process. We truly had an amazing experience working with Genesis and highly recommend him for any realtor needs in Maui. We were so glad we got to meet him on our trip there in July 2023. He’s become a friend to us and we will always look forward to seeing him and catching up when we are on the Island. We can’t thank you enough, Genesis!

Genesis helped me sell my house on Maui. We closed a few days ago and we are so blessed by Gen’s hard work and dedication. We weren’t on island for the entire process so with not physically being there to clear out junk and handle minor repairs it could’ve been a lengthy process but Gen and his team made it so easy and quick. We met every deadline and never skipped a beat. His communication was great and his experience and knowledge was much appreciated. He also helped my tenants rehome their dog and helped me sell some stuff. That made things a lot easier and the personal touch, especially with this home being a family home for generations made all the difference. Gen handled all of our family affairs with dignity which was HUGE. We would highly recommend Genesis for buying but especially selling.

One of the best decision we’ve ever made was clicking that follow button and inquiring about purchasing a home. We were hesitant at first—intimidated about something we knew entirely nothing about but Genesis (hands down) made it so much easier for us. He so graciously went above and beyond to assist us with all our inquiries. That he who he is. He is very responsive, attentive, informative and knowledgeable about the market which we so greatly appreciated as first time home buyers. He would tell you his honest opinion if a home was worth investing in which shows that he is not just out there to make money but he is out there to make sure he finds and gets his clients not just their dream home but also “THE RIGHT HOME”.
Our home buying experience was one hell of a ride due to circumstances that were out of our control but amidst all that, we felt assured as Genesis was with us. He is simply the best.

I have known Genesis through my coworkers and I have heard good things about him. So when It was about time to look for a realtor, we chose him and we didn’t regret at all. He is such a dedicated person with his profession. He is knowledgeable and had answers to all our questions. Since day 1, he had been compassionate with us knowing that we didn’t have any knowledge at all about real estate. He has been patient with us despite our hectic schedules. He had always found a way to work things out for us. We had seen several houses, put down our offers and had turned down several times. We were frustrated but he was there and was very supportive. I remembered, he would say “the search continues” whenever our offers got rejected. I admire his positivity and it was contagious. Genesis, you are awesome! Thank you for helping us in making our dream come true. You are a gem to your real estate agency.

My boyfriend and I have been looking to purchase a home in the near future, but didn't know where to begin. I decided to reach out to Genesis and asked lots of questions. He answered everything in a professional and timely manner. We knew he could not help us buy a house in Arizona, so I asked if he knew anyone here that could help. He was able to find a realtor here for us and our closing date is December 1st! The whole process went very smoothly and quickly, all thanks to Genesis and Jill (our Arizona realtor). I can't thank them enough! We may not have bought a home on Maui, but Genesis made sure we were going to be taken care of!

I wanted to share this review so people can make informed decisions on choosing the best realtor possible. I myself am a realtor from Las Vegas and I’m currently a realtor in Maui. I had a Maui client when my realtor licenses did not come in and I found Genesis a few years ago via Instagram. I loved his posts and how he explained things to clients via ig, so I decided that he would be the best fit for my clients and I referred them to him. This guy was so professional and did a stellar job!
These clients were first time home sellers and they absolutely appreciated everything that Genesis had done! He was there for all showings, inspections, the appraisal and everything in between. This ensured that the property would close on time from his end. He was even able to get the buyer a much higher amount than what The property actually listed for!! When it comes to choosing an agent especially for clients that you care about, you want someone that’s going to show care, detail and treat them like family. Genesis did just that! I am extremely happy with my choice of referring to him, so happy that I am now working with him! I felt the need to write this review because it is important coming from an actual peer, when deals go smoothly and on time especially during Covid …. That says something.

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!

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.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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 âtook 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.

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!

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.

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 :)

We will definitely recommend Genesis to our friends and family. Our home process took a little while and drove us crazy a few times, but Genesis kept us sane. Throughout the whole process he was with us every step of the way. He was always quick to respond to our questions and if he didn’t have the answer, he’d find out for us and get back to us ASAP. 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!”

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.

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 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!
