MEET
DAVID McALEAR

A little about me: I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts which is where I started my career in real estate, but I have been in sales my entire life. With my father and grandfather also in sales, you could even say it's in my blood. Real estate is my true calling and I continue to demonstrate that year after year to my office and my clients.

Since moving to Maui in early 2019, I hit the ground running and haven't looked back: I put my first condo under contract within 30 days of signing on with Coldwell Banker. During the peak of the pandemic, I was able to double my sales from the year before. In 2021 I earned in the top 3% of all Coldwell Banker agents internationally, and in 2022 I worked up to the top 2%.

In addition, last year I was ranked in the top 3% of the over 2,000 real estate agents on Maui. I have also collaborated with other agents on luxury homes, including on a $9M oceanfront home in Makena, and I actively work with clients who are searching for properties ranging up to $50M.

David did a great job listing and open houses. He was well informed about the Maui market. He was always available and works after hours. He is well connected with buyers and sellers and was able to find multiple buyers at the price we were looking for. He also helped with getting property ready, had his own referrals for updating the property and was very helpful throughout the escrow period.

Dave went above and beyond all of our expectations. We were following the market for nearly a year and Dave patiently kept up with us. When the perfect match came on the market for us, Dave and his team were right on it. We have been doing most of the process remotely and Dave has spent a tremendous amount of time researching things on our behalf. Over the last year we have gotten to know Dave, and now consider him a friend. I highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in a place in Maui.

David was recommended to us as someone who could help us find a condo--even if it were an off market opportunity. We were pretty specific about where we wanted to live and David was extremely diligent and helping us find a terrific condo that we are very grateful for. He was resourceful, detailed and very quick to respond to emails and texts. He was also willing to go beyond the typical duties of a real estate agent to help us when we weren't on Maui. We would highly recommend him!

My husband and I are grateful that David was our real estate agent. He helped us buy the home of our dreams in Wailea. We had a vision of what we wanted, but we had a problem~ we wanted to share our home with our one year old border collie. Most HOAs on Maui do not allow dogs. David understood and we appreciated his confidence that we could find our dream home. He was readily available for every phone call/email/text...and that means we had daily contact with him. He accomplished this miracle in FORTY days...from the time we saw our Maui home to the time we owned it! We would definitely use him again and have already recommended him to our friends/family.

Dave McAlear did a stellar job helping us sell our Kihei, Maui condo. We live off-island, and he made the entire process smooth. He was professional, knowledgeable and responsive; always reachable by cell and quickly replied to our emails. Dave handled speed bumps quickly and professionally. A pleasure to work with, we would use him again.

We bought a condo with Dave's help back in January 2021, the mid of COVID winter. Dave kept reminding us that price would go up. A little more than a year later, 14 months exactly, a better condo on our wish list was put on market. Dave helped us to get our offer to be accepted. Then in a week, he sold our previous condo above the asking price, an appreciation of 60% for that 14 months. All that buyings and selling went smoothly with his calm, helpful, and knowledgeable personalities.

We met Dave on island in 2021 but didn't have any plans to sell our home in Wailea. However, he contacted us when the market changed and we made the decision to sell while living 6,000 away. From start to finish, Dave made the process seamless for us which is quite a feat given the time difference and details involved. He was diligent, organized, dynamic and extremely expeditious with our communications regardless of what day/time we reached-out to him. We would absolutely recommend Dave and will be keeping in touch in case another Maui home is in our future.
