About Stefanie Hegrenes

Over twenty years ago, my husband and I honeymooned on Maui and immediately fell in love with the Valley Isle. After years of planning and dreaming, and with our four young children in tow, we moved from Minnesota to Maui and it\'s been the best decision of our lives!I bring a unique perspective to real estate, combining a Marketing degree, a PhD in Higher Education, and experience in financial services and academia across Minneapolis and Maui. The marketing, communication, and negotiation skills I developed form the foundation of every successful real estate transaction. I’m here to make your home buying or selling journey FUN and feel grateful to help clients bring their Maui goals to life.My four children are my ‘why’—the heart of why I work so hard and love the life we’ve built on Maui. I feel so grateful for the chance to raise them here, and you’ll often find me cheering them on at the pool, golf course, dance studio, soccer field or tennis court!Outside of real estate, I’m actively involved in our Lahaina community. With four children in Lahaina Public Schools, I serve in leadership roles with the PTSA and school community council, and am proud to support the schools that mean so much to our family. We are grateful to call Hawai’i home and cherish the leap of faith that brought us here. I\'m excited to help you make Maui a memorable part of your story too!
