About Us

Maui Sea Breeze Vacation Rentals was started in 2009 by me, Kory Skolnick,  a former Maui Realtor at the time.   Times were tough in the real estate market between 2006 and 2012 and one of the ways to make additional income was to manage properties. However, in Hawaii, it's illegal to manage vacation rentals and collect funds if your just a Real Estate Agent!  You have to either be a Real Estate Broker or have a CHO license.  I didn't want to become a broker so I decided to surender my license and apply for the CHO license.   Hawaii prohibits you from being just an agent and having a CHO license so I had to surrender my agent license.   The state of Hawaii requires us to have a client trust account monitored by the state, have a 3 million dollar insurance bond with the state and register your business.    Be careful who you choose to manage your unit and make sure their either a Real Estate Broker or they have a CHO license.    There are many illegal property managers out there and you'll be liable  and unprotected if something bad happens to your renters or property.  Log onto the states web site and do your own license research!
