Currently Donald and Insurance Factors are providing the policy for our family business on Front Street in Lahaina, now named the Makai Sunset Inn (formally The Makai Inn), right off the bat we experienced a complex issue and Donald jumped into action, going over the top to assist and guide us to the end.
