Chelsea Mock Chew

For Chelsea Mock Chew, Hawaii Island isn't simply where she sells real estate. It's home. Born and raised on the Hamakua Coast, she brings a lifetime of local knowledge, deep community roots and a genuine love for the island and its people to her work as a Hawaii real estate broker, and her connection to the Big Island goes a good deal further than the transactions she handles on it.

Chelsea has eight years of Hawaii real estate experience. She began her career in 2018 as a Real Estate Salesperson with Island Boutique Realty, following eight years of delivering exceptional hospitality at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, and that grounding in service still shapes how she works with people today. Through continued growth, experience and a dedication to serving her clients and her community, she went on to earn her Hawaii Real Estate Broker's license and became Broker-in-Charge of Island Boutique Realty in 2023, a role she proudly continues in.

Growing up on the Hamakua Coast gave her an appreciation for the communities, lifestyles and landscapes that make Hawaii Island unlike anywhere else: from the lush communities of Hamakua and East Hawaii to Waimea's rolling green hills, the Kohala Coast's resort communities, Waikoloa and the Kona side. That lifelong familiarity gives her a local perspective she is proud to share with longtime island residents and with those hoping to make the Big Island their home, and it is why she represents buyers and sellers right across it, from the Hamakua Coast, Honokaa and Waimea through North Kohala, Waikoloa and the Kohala Coast resorts to Kona, Hilo, Keaau and Puna.

Chelsea specializes in residential real estate and land, and works with a wide range of clients and properties: primary residences, first-time homebuyers, residential homes, condominiums, vacant land, acreage and investment properties. Because Hawaii Island is so diverse, buying or selling here often involves considerations that are unique to the Big Island, so she helps her clients navigate not only the transaction itself but the local details and property considerations that can vary significantly from one part of the island to another.

As Broker-in-Charge she brings both hands-on experience and a broker's perspective to every transaction, and she is known for her integrity, professionalism, attention to detail, personalized service and commitment to keeping her clients informed: she believes they should understand what is happening, why it matters and what comes next, whether they are purchasing a first home, selling a longtime family property, buying land, or moving from another part of the island or beyond Hawaii. Her role extends well past her own caseload, too. Chelsea takes great pride in mentoring and supporting fellow agents, guiding them through contracts, transaction processes, compliance and the many details involved in representing clients well, and works closely with the Island Boutique Realty team to maintain the brokerage's standards of professionalism, organization, integrity and client care.

Some of the most meaningful parts of the work, for her, are the relationships built along the way. Buying or selling a home is rarely just about the property: it can represent a new beginning, a major life transition, an investment in the future, or the closing of a meaningful chapter, and Chelsea approaches each one with genuine care so that her clients feel supported, informed and confidently represented from the first conversation through closing and long after. Away from the office she is embracing this season of life with her grown children, cherishing time with family and friends, tackling home improvement projects and creating warm, welcoming spaces that truly feel like home. Those same values, home, family, relationships and community, are at the heart of the way she approaches real estate: being a Hawaii Island broker isn't simply a career to her, it's a privilege to serve the people and the island she has proudly called home her entire life.
