Bringing a successful record of 22 years of real estate sales on Maui, Josh Jerman has distinguished himself as an industry leader in Hawaii real estate.
Josh's team includes two salespartners, Tim Stice, R(B) and Sou Jerman, R(S), as well as an Operations Manager. His team runs like a well-oiled machine. For over a decade, Josh has been a top producing residential Realtor on Maui and was ranked #1 in 2023, #2 in 2024, and #1 in 2025 in sales volume out of over 1,800 Realtors on Maui (Realtors Association of Maui). Josh has adapted to the changes in both the real estate market as well as the industry, by incorporating systems and team members to represent luxury real estate, new project sales, as well as short sales and bank-owned inventory (REOs).
Raised in Upcountry Maui, Josh attended Baldwin High School before heading to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. There, he graduated cum laude with two bachelor's degrees, one in International Studies of the Asia-Pacific Region and the other in Comparative Religion. He has traveled the world (23 countries and counting), and has lived in Indonesia, Nepal and Scotland. He has hiked to Machu Picchu and to Mount Everest's Base Camp, canoed the Amazon River and swam in the Ganges, sailed in the South Pacific, fly fished in the Secychelles, trekked in the North Pole and touched the Great Wall of China. Throughout his adventures, Josh developed an appreciation, awareness and respect for all people, an experience that inspired him to give back to his community.
Josh’s expertise as a broker extends far beyond the four walls of his office in the The Shops at Wailea. He has held numerous positions with the Realtors Association of Maui (RAM) since 2005, including Director-at-Large (6 years) and he currently serves as co-chair of Professional Standards. He served on the Board of Directors for the Hawaii Association of Realtors (HAR) for four years, is currently Chair of the Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC), and served on the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Major Investor Council for more than five years. As a real estate columnist for the Maui Weekly, he encouraged readers to "Ask Josh" about a range of issues. In addition, as the founder of the Josh and Souk Jerman Foundation, he has given more than $86,000 to college-bound high school students across Maui County.
Josh is dedicated to delivering the highest level of customer service in order to achieve the best results for his clients.
