What Buyers are Saying

Alenxander I.

Chelsey represented us as Buyers for two properties that we purchased at the same time on the Big Island. One was a ranch home and the other was an adjacent 10 acre lot. Chelsey was gracious enough to begin showing us around the island and educating us on what the Island had to offer. She did this even though our home in Malibu had not hit the market and we needed it to sell prior to buying in Hawaii. I mention this because most agents won't give you their time until you have the funds readily available to buy. This alone showed us she was ready to go above and beyond from day one. I found Chelsey to be trustworthy, diligent, responsible, ethical, caring, knowledgeable, patient, as well as a tremendous problem solver. She shined when it came to negotiating, she was resourceful when it came to challenges and she was firm, but respectful with the seller's agent when she tried to deny us co…

Chelsey represented us as Buyers for two properties that we purchased at the same time on the Big Island. One was a ranch home and the other was an adjacent 10 acre lot.

I found Chelsey to be trustworthy, diligent, responsible, ethical, caring, knowledgeable, patient, as well as a tremendous problem solver. She shined when it came to negotiating, she was resourceful when it came to challenges and she was firm, but respectful with the seller's agent when she tried to deny us contractual obligations. With Chelsey, you not only get her experience but also her network. I didn't realize how important her relationships would be in completing a successful Escrow. In the middle of escrow, our lender dropped the ball and Chelsey reached deep into her network and connected us with a broker that completed funding, in record time, saving the deal. It's these deep-rooted relationships, nurtured through years of ethical dealings with her industry contacts that make her invaluable. She came through multiple times when we needed resources across different industries. She always found a solution to challenges, keeping escrow on track. This was by far the most important investment and expenditure I've made to date when it comes to real estate so I don't say this lightly, Chelsey earned our trust very quickly and showed, through her actions, that she was more than qualified and capable of negotiating the intricacies of a multi-property, multi-million dollar deal. Not to mention the challenges of having us as clients in a different state. Just pick up the phone and call her, you won't regret it. I'm grateful I did. Thank you, Chelsey, for having such a big fingerprint on the success of our relocation and real estate purchases. Continued success to you and those that call you friend and associate.

Chelsey was an amazing Realtor® to work with in finding multiple properties for us to purchase over the years in Hawaii. She has looked out for my family like we were her family. She made herself available every step of the way. She is very diligent organized and caring, always one step ahead of the process. Chelsey has a heightened level of customer service and great negotiation skills. I really appreciate her knowledge of Hawaii’s very unique housing market as a professional and a long term resident. If you are looking for a professional and attentive Realtor®, I highly recommend Chelsey, we have referred her to our family and friends and will continue to do so.

Chelsey has been very attentive to our needs, wants, and desires. She helped us, scout, for a home for several months before finding the perfect diamond in the rough home. She went above and beyond she made herself available, she was very responsive, and kept us in the loop every step of the way. She had our back the entire way. She helped us negotiate in a time-competitive market. Grateful to be a homeowner in such a high-demand market at a great price. I’d recommend Chelsey to anyone who wants a first-class professional and negotiator. Her warm Aloha spirit made it a very enjoyable experience.

We were referred to Chelsey through Zillow without referral which was a bit of a leap of faith - we had never transacted in real estate via online methods. I can honestly say this agent is a true professional that is client-oriented. She works hard, is responsive, follows up, and most importantly is honest. When it came to making an offer she understands the market and will try to negotiate you the best price possible. After closing, she assisted wherever possible to make the transition smoother. So, in summary, just a smart, serious, good-hearted person you can trust!
