Robert Vafaie is a highly respected real estate professional and the lead Broker of The Maui Property Team at Compass, bringing more than 35 years of experience and a steadfast commitment to honesty, loyalty, and dedication.
Robert began his real estate career in Southern California in 1991, quickly distinguishing himself as a top-producing agent. By 1995, he had founded his own brokerage, and the following year, he was elected President of the Los Angeles County Board of Realtors, where he championed property rights, elevated industry standards, and fostered professional collaboration.
After years of international travel and professional development, Robert made Maui his home in 2001, raising a family and embracing the island lifestyle through surfing, motorcycling, and community engagement. Since then, he has helped families, investors, and business owners navigate Hawaiʻi’s complex and rewarding real estate market with confidence—offering a rare blend of local insight, market expertise, and seasoned perspective.
Today, as one of the leaders of The Maui Property Team at Compass, Robert specializes in residential, commercial, and investment properties. His extensive background in land use, valuation, and negotiation ensures that each client experience—from a first-time purchase to seasoned investor—is handled with precision, integrity, and care.
Robert’s practice is relationship-driven and results-focused, built on the belief that success is measured not only in closed transactions but in trust earned. His commitment extends beyond real estate to include supporting the Maui Food Bank, Humane Society, Mana’o Radio, while continuing to learn, and grow—reflecting his deep connection and joy for Maui, the land, the sea, and the people.
