TESTIMONIALS

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, and who you choose to guide you through it matters. Chelsey’s clients consistently describe the experience as smooth, personal, and deeply supported.
  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Chelsey is the best! I didn’t know anything about home buying process and she was always there to patiently reply all of my questions and led me through the process. She didn’t just want me to buy something, but she invested tons of effort to understand my real need and situation to honestly advice what would be the best fit for me. And we found that! She knows the market, builds great connections, very professional, resourceful, timely responds to anything, and a great negotiator, very professional. Strongly recommend her!

  • Top Notch Negotiation skills. With Chelsey’s eyes, we were able to purchase our dream condo. Every step of our journey was performed remotely. Chelsey provided us with over and above customer service, sending us FaceTime walkthrough videos. She also provided a keen eye looking for any structural issues that might be of concern for us as buyers. Chelsey is tremendously responsive and had our backs through the purchase process. As you can see by my 5-star ratings, I highly recommend Chelsey Tanoai.

  • Chelsey followed up when it looked like I was going to buy in another state. The result was she helped me purchase and get exactly what I really wanted. With her expertise on the offer and timing, a rare find came available and it was just what I was hoping to buy. She went beyond and above what I expected in many ways, eg. she helped in the ownership transition and move-in process! She even shopped for my new Airbnb for me. Highly recommend her!

  • Chelsey is the best, I have bought a property few times for investment and primary residences. Chelsey provided the best service! she is diligent and proactive, she stays on top of every detail during the entire process, then she negotiates and provides the best recommendations at each step (we competed against several other offers). She has strong communications skills and made the process fun and personal.

    DESSE
“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 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.
