"Your team really made me feel like I was buying my home with family."

I met Chelsea a couple of years before we decided to sell our house. At our very first meeting, I had a good vibe from her. She made such a good impression that when we finally decided to sell our house, she was the first person we thought of. Chelsea is so friendly and easy to work with. We could always count on her to follow up and get back to us. She made herself available and was able to accommodate our busy schedules. By following her guidance and advice, we were able to sell our house for far above the market value. When we were ready to look for a new place, she took the time to sit down with us to find out what our needs were and helped us find the perfect place. She assisted us with the paperwork and her attention to detail was spot on, which was a relief for us as first-time, inexperienced buyers. 

I would recommend Chelsea to all my family and friends.

Chelsea did an excellent job selling our home. She took care of staging our condo and was there for us every step of the way. She is knowledgeable and was always available to answer any questions that we had. The whole process went smoothly and we were really satisfied with her work. It was a pleasure working with Chelsea and we definitely recommend her to others.

In a competitive market, Colin and Chelsea were very knowledgeable and always professional about the various aspects that go into homebuying. As a first time homebuyer, one of the critical issues is the finances and Team Lee referred us to an amazing mortgage broker. The mortgage broker, escrow officer and Team Lee were always in transparent communication with one another, which ultimately provided us as buyers great confidence throughout a daunting and overwhelming process. Chelsea was always so patient as she showed us to multiple open houses over a few months, before we started to narrow down what we wanted in a home. There was probably so much behind the scenes work that we weren't even aware of, however Colin and Chelsea navigated seamlessly on behalf of us. We are very grateful for their thoughtfulness, attention to detail, high level of timely responsiveness, and professionalism. Thank you for helping us to navigate through the purchase of our first home.  

We were a few days before we would get our keys and went back for a final home inspection. Aspects of the cleaning and work to remove the termites were not completed satisfactorily, and Colin was able to negotiate with the seller to make things right, so that we could close timely and get our keys. Mahalo Colin for your leadership, knowledge, and high level of professionalism that helped us find our first home!  

Chelsea was so patient, professional, timely in her responsiveness and communication, pays attention to detail, friendly and approachable. She showed us multiple homes and as she intuitively understood what we were really looking for in a home, she would suggest upcoming homes to look at. Chelsea managed and executed multiple details with so much grace, always answered our questions and has amazing follow up. Mahalo Chelsea for all the behind the scenes work you did to help us find our home!  

Kim Hanawahine was the gatekeeper to maintaining our purchase timeline. She was timely in reminding us about the documents that needed signing and kept our paperwork on file. She was professional in her communication with Team Lee and others who helped us to purchase our home. Mahalo Kim for keeping us timely on our deadlines!  

My husband and I were incredibly pleased with the service that we received from Colin and his sister/team member Chelsea. Back in 2022 we unexpectedly had to sell our home due to unforeseen medical bills that needed to be paid. The process for a Seller can be very daunting and stressful, especially in the situation and time frame that my husband and I were in, as medical bills do not wait for anyone. 

They were fantastic every step of the way. From negotiating to always being available and communicating to us how each part of the whole process would move forward. They always answered all my questions with in-depth explanations, ensuring we fully understood what we were doing and why it was necessary. They understood the housing market and helped us negotiate a deal that exceeded our expectations. 

Chelsea and Colin genuinely treated our transaction as if it were their own. Not only did they demonstrate expertise and professionalism, they were also amicable and kind throughout our entire home selling process. We were 100% satisfied and happy!

Colin and his team were a dream to work with. I was a first time home buyer and he made the experience as seamless as possible. 

Colin and Chelsea were an incredible team and I feel lucky to have worked with them. The transaction was effortless.  

I loved that Colin would pick up the phone and call me with critical items. He was always helpful and incredibly responsive. Both Colin and Chelsea did an amazing job staying in touch with all of the details.  

I have already referred Colin. He is smart, organized and hard working. He is trustworthy and will answer your questions thoroughly and honestly. Best real estate agent I have ever worked with. Thank you Colin and Chelsea!  

Your team really made me feel like I was buying my home with family and when I arrived at my home, it already felt like “home”— thank you again!!!! 

 We were very pleased with Colin's team's professionalism and competence in advertising, staging, and managing the selling process. This was a complex process, but he and his team made it straightforward and successful. 

My husband and I worked with Colin and his team to purchase a condominium in Honolulu. Colin and his team were incredibly responsive (typically a return text or phone call within the hour, if not in minutes!), and were quick to relieve any anxieties we had about the homebuying process. They were attentive to our needs, showed us units that matched our budget and preferences, and advised us well every step of the way. Colin was very honest and forthright with his advice, and we completely trusted his assessment of the various units that were shown to us. In a very competitive market, Colin and his team helped us to secure an amazing unit that met all of our preferences. Once we closed on a unit, the entire process was seamless, and they even helped us fast-track to closing a week early! We are so happy with our new home. Thank you Team Colin Lee! 

I contacted another well-known realtor in the area and she never even replied to my email. Colin however texted me within minutes of me submitting my initial inquiry. At our initial meeting at the Kapolei office, Colin walked us through the process, provided comps to look at and introduced us to his team. We knew from that point we’d found the partner we needed to sell our home. Between Colin and Kim, their communication was great. They presented everything clearly, not assuming we understood industry speak, so we were able to make the best decision at each opportunity. Due to having tenants in the unit and an eviction moratorium in place, this was an unusual sale process and really presented some challenges in showing the unit and getting access to it. Once we had a buyer, the transaction moved nearly at light-speed. Again, Team Lee was there helping answer questions and keep us on track. Colin is a very approachable and easy to talk to professional. He knows local style dealings and how to “talk story” with us and mix in enough non-business conversation that really just shows he gets us and understands our needs. We felt 100% comfortable with Colin in what, to date, has been our biggest financial decision. Kim, Chelsea and anyone else supporting Team Lee was amazing. They kept the process moving, we’re quick to reach out at various times when a question was asked or information was needed. It’s evident that Colin and the team has worked well and executed numerous transactions together.
