Working with Tom Guthrie and his team was a
great experience. Tom helped me as a first time buyer find
and buy my first home on Maui. He consistently gave me
insightful information that allowed me to make a very
informed decision. After a few years, when I was considering
selling my home, Tom once again provided helpful information
to allow me to decide that it would be a good time to sell
my condo. Since I was living on the mainland at the time, I
needed additional assistance. He provided services over and
above what one could have expected, which gave me such piece
of mind. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone who is
looking to buy or sell a home.

The recent closing of escrow on our condominium at the
Valley Isle Resort is the culmination of many years of
dreaming and wishful thinking. We finally have our own piece
of paradise. I want to thank you for your assistance
throughout the process. I am quite familiar with real estate
transactions in my part of the world. The Valley Isle
purchase had several unique elements I would have struggled
to understand and deal with on my own. Your knowledge of the
property and the process proved invaluable to me. I
particularly appreciated the numerous calls you made to make
sure we had covered all the bases and to update us on the
progress of the transaction. We were never left wondering
about the status of anything. For all its complexity, the
process was amazingly smooth, a fact that I attribute to
you. I could not have asked for a better representative and
look forward to a time when we might work together again.
Mahalo and Aloha.
David R. Roundtree, P.E.
Tom Guthrie embodies the ALOHA Spirit!!! It could be
showing property after property, negotiating prices,
following up on all of the little things that can creep up
and stop the closing on a property. He is a part of the
neighborhood, has pride of ownership there and wants you to
be a part of the community as well. Thanks Tom...

As a long time resident of Maui, I have known both Tom
and his wife for many years. Tom is very personable, down to
earth, with a sense of integrity to match. Real Aloha!
My wife and I purchased a home a few years ago through Tom.
His dedication to professionalism I found difficult to
match. Tom was always there.
Tom, My Wife and I Thank You.

Tom Guthrie has asked that I write a letter of
recommendation based on our professional association over
the past several years. I've found Mr. Guthrie to be honest
and straightforward in his approach to work, business and
family. He demonstrates a high degree of trustworthiness and
carries out his obligations with vigor and resolve.
I have lived on Maui for the past 15 years and Tom has
handled many of my real estate transactions and investments.
His complete knowledge and vast experience of the Maui real
estate market have provided me the ability to purchase
commercial, residential, and resort real estate properties.
Tom's professionalism, reputation, resourcefulness and
ethical conduct are just some of the many reasons why he has
my real estate business. You can always count on a very
conscientious, reliable and dependable performance by Tommy.
In writing you this letter, I hope to persuade you on one
thing: I have been very fortunate in my real estate
transactions because of Tom and I can recommend with
complete confidence a first-rate Realtor. I will be happy to
provide additional comment or answer any questions you may
have concerning Thomas S. Guthrie.
Sincerely,
Walter F. Hester, III Chief Executive Officer
To Whom It May Concern:
We first met Tom Guthrie in 1985, when we purchased our
first 'Home in Paradise'. Tom acted as our agent then, as he
has in our four real estate transactions since. It was
reassuring to have Tom acting for us, not only because of
his extensive knowledge of the real estate market in Maui,
but also for his personalized service and attentive care to
every transaction. We always felt that he truly cared that
we were totally satisfied and that we received the best
'deal' available.
We would highly recommend Tom to any prospective buyer, or
seller. His service is not only 'excellent' and 'honest' but
very 'personal' as well. We would rate him among the most
competent and effective realtors in Maui.

Aloha:
Congratulations on a job well done! I don't know about you,
but closings feel better to me than just about any other
part of this business! We get to measure the value of our
work with a paycheck, a just reward for a job well done.
Thank you for all your help and hard work on this
transaction. I know this particular deal has not been easy
for any of us, and I'm very glad we could finally bring it
to a successful conclusion. I am aware that without your
help, it would have been even tougher. It's always a
pleasure to work with a professional such as yourself.
You're very good at what you do, which certainly helps
ensure a successful outcome. I trust you will have many
successful dealings with my company in the future.
Thank you again for your professionalism.
Very truly yours,

Tom Guthrie is a Realtor you can swear by - rather than
swear at.
He provided me services over and above all the other
Realtors I've dealt with. Sure, he helped me find and buy
the right house, at a price I could afford, in an area and
neighborhood everyone would welcome. Lots of other Realtors
could provide this service, but it was all the advisory
counseling and suggestions that Tom provided, where he
really excelled over all other Realtors. He was my financial
counselor and provided me numerous financing options and
strategies. He communicated regularly with me via E-Mail,
voice-mail, and telephone calls.
I was in Colorado, and Tom previewed all the Maui homes that
fit my life style and wallet, and then he showed me the best
of the lot. I was able to select a home in one day as a
result of his research work. After that, Tom worked on my
behalf with the Builder and Listing Agent continuously
through the process. I was separated by over 3000 miles from
Maui, but Tom's diligence and communications shrunk this
distance to zero.
Tom's reliability and thoroughness are his trademarks. He
kept me fully informed, and through him, I never was unaware
or surprised by any facet of this purchase. Tom proved to be
my trusted agent and confidant. I will return to Tom for any
real estate service I need in the future.
Regards,
Joe Ortiz

We had the privilege of working with Tom Guthrie on several
occasions on different properties on Maui in recent years.
We found him to be forthright and honest in all dealings at
all times. We could not recommend a better person to do
business with in Maui. We enjoyed the realtor-client
relationship thoroughly and look forward to our next
dealings with Tom.

Tom Guthrie sold a condo on Maui for us this year. He was
very professional, followed through on every detail and kept
us advised at all times on the progress of the sale. There
is an old saying in the Title business - "He was with us
from Hello to close of escrow"!
You can't go wrong with him.
Jim and Ann Owen
My experience with Tom Guthrie exceeded my expectations.
Living on the main land, I received Tom's name through a
mutual friend. After a brief introduction, we began
communicating via fax, Email and phone. It wasn't long
before tom knew exactly what I was looking for in Maui
property.
I planned a visit to Maui, Tom prepared a detailed portfolio
of properties to view and the rest is history. My wife and I
bought a condo in Napili that week and has been one of the
best decisions we have ever made.
Tom's professionalism, knowledge and advice guided us to our
decision to buy. I now consider Tom a personal friend and
would and have, highly recommend his services to anyone
seeking to purchase a piece of paradise. Additionally, I
would welcome contacts to further detail our experience.

Dear Mr. Guthrie,
It was indeed a pleasure having you to represent us in out
home purchase in Lahaina. Your professional attitude and
explanations of the real estate maze were greatly
appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Clay Darrow
To Whom It May Concern:
We recently purchased a lot in Kaanapali Golf Estates
through Tom Guthrie after knowing him and interacting with
him for a couple of years. Tom is very straightforward guy,
not pushy like some in the real estate trade, and he really
listens. After showing us lots on a visit to Maui in 1997,
Tom established what we were after and was able to show us
properties that met our requirements on our next visit in
1999.
Tom provides excellent, personal, no nonsense service. Do
yourself a favor and let him assist you with your next real
estate transaction. You certainly could do worse….we doubt
you could do better!
Sincerely,
Michel and Mary Gerassimenko
As first time buyers, we were so happy to have Tom
helping us through every step of the process. He made things
easy to understand and his caring made us feel at ease.
Tom's knowledge of the market on Maui is unsurpassed and his
"Spirit of Aloha" truly shines through.
Tom and Kris Lowen
