Why Choose Me

Description of Services: I have a passion for real estate and helping others. My goal is to fully understand the unique needs of my clients and to provide the absolute highest level of service. That means I work directly for you through the entire home buying/selling process and I don't pass you off to another agent.

Over the years I've developed an extensive national network of trusted agents, lenders, investors, and syndication operators. Whether you are buying, selling, or investing in Hawaii or the mainland US I can connect you to the right people to achieve your goals.

My early career began as a registered financial advisor, later I enlisted in the Navy which brought me to Hawaii. I fell in love with the islands when I reported to a Pearl Harbor-based Submarine in 2006 and never left. After 10 years of Active duty, I transitioned directly to the Navy Reserves. I have an MBA from Hawaii Pacific University and a Bachelors in Finance from Auburn University. I've been a licensed real estate agent in Hawaii since 2014 and a Broker since 2019, specializing in residential sales and property management. In addition to real estate, I continue to serve as a Submarine LDO in the Navy Reserve.

Experience: With nearly 20 years in the Military (10+ Active Duty), along with previous experience as a DoD civilian, I clearly understand the unique challenges of Military clients and how to best meet their needs.

I've been in Hawaii for 18 years and a Real Estate Agent/Property Manager for the last 10.

I began investing in Real Estate in 2011, acquiring a portfolio of short-term rentals, single family homes, and small multi-family properties. Eventually my focus shifted more towards investing in commercial real estate (large apartment complexes, self-storage facilities, RV and Mobile Home parks, businesses) as a limited partner investor. Personally I have bought and sold numerous properties, while utilizing 1031 exchanges and other advanced tax planning/strategies. This experience has been invaluable to me as a Real Estate Broker, giving me an edge when evaluating properties and advising clients on planning considerations.

My Military experience and local expertise, coupled with my Finance background and extensive investment experience, makes me uniquely qualified to represent military buyers and sellers.

Work with me as a trusted partner to achieve your Real Estate Goals!

  I highly recommend Chip, we have used him twice and will continue to go for him. If you are on the market to buy or sell he’s the man to go. Knows the market well in Hawaii and is experienced, which makes the process so easy. He isn’t shady and won’t sugar coat reality, straight forward which I appreciate. It’s a pleasure doing business every time.

  We worked with Chip Lewis when we first purchased our Hawaii Home, he did such a great job that we went with him when it was time to sell and once again he was amazing. We received MULTIPLE offers in the first 7 days of putting our house up! We love how proactive he is and appreciate all of the resources he uses to get your house sold.

  Chip stuck with us for over a year when most would have given up. After numerous open houses, private showings, and bidding wars, his relentless fight for us resulted in us currently living in our dream home. He was patient, listened, and took action to ensure we got the best deal possible. Mahalo!

  My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Chip for the purchase of our new home, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, Chip demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, efficiency, and warmth that made the entire home-buying process a joy. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Chip was how quickly he facilitated the closing on the purchase. Not only did he manage to expedite the process, but we even closed ahead of schedule, which exceeded our expectations and made for a seamless transition into our new home. Throughout the entire journey, Chip was consistently available and incredibly responsive to any inquiries or requests for information. Whether it was scheduling viewings, negotiating terms, or providing updates on the progress of the transaction, he was always just a call or text away. His promptness and attentiveness gave us confidence and peace of mind, knowing that we were in good hands every step of the way. Beyond his efficiency and responsiveness, Chip also impressed us with his friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm for helping us find the perfect home. He took the time to understand our preferences and priorities, ensuring that each property we viewed aligned with our needs. His expert guidance and sound advice made the entire process feel effortless and enjoyable. Overall, we wholeheartedly recommend Chip to anyone in search of a dedicated and trustworthy real estate professional. His commitment to excellence, coupled with his friendly and approachable manner, truly sets him apart.We wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future, and we will certainly be referring him to our friends and family for their real estate needs.

  Chip was able to get our windward house rented in 3 days at 15% more than we expected. He knows the area, tells the truth, and cares about both sides of the agreement. This is our 4th time renting out a house, so we have seen good and bad property managers. Chip is a professional, a great human being, and responds quickly, you can't ask for much more. We are glad to have him on our team!

  Chip was great through out the entire process. From the starting listing price to ensuring we could close the deal while out of state; Chip made the selling experience easy and with the least amount of stress. Highly recommend him for selling or buying on Oahu. He always updated us as soon as anything new came up and was quick to call us back if we had questions.

  I worked with Chip Lewis from HomeSmart Island Homes and I experienced nothing but professionalism. Between his expertise in dealing with the unique nuances of the Hawaii housing market, work ethic to find the best home for his client, and passion to help me quickly close on my first home, Chip was an expert in his profession. I would strongly recommend Chip's services to future home buyers who are looking for an agent that looks out for his client's best interests, and willing to go the extra mile to close on the right house for you.

  I recently had the pleasure of working with Chip Lewis, who is not only an exceptional realtor, but a great friend of many years. I enlisted Chip's help to sell my property, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Chip displayed the utmost professionalism, expertise, and dedication, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Right from our first conversation, it was evident that Chip had an in-depth understanding of the real estate market and a genuine passion for helping clients achieve their goals. He took the time to listen to my family's needs and preferences, offering valuable insights and tailored advice that helped us make informed decisions throughout the selling journey. What truly sets Chip apart is his proactive approach to marketing and showcasing my property. He advertised my property using several platforms, increasing the exposure on the listing. I had tenants renting our property when the property went on the market, and Chip respectfully worked with the tenants to schedule showings. Chip was always timely with answering questions and addressing any concerns. His communication with the tenants and me was excellent throughout, and I always felt informed and supported. Besides his remarkable professionalism, working with Chip was the best decision. Many people recommend not doing business with friends, but it would have been a big mistake if I didn't go with Chip. I couldn't ask for a better friend and professional to help me through this process. It was reassuring to work with someone who is honest, trustworthy, and caring. He was available whenever I needed him, which made me feel valued as a client and friend. I can wholeheartedly recommend Chip to anyone in need of a trustworthy and skilled realtor. Whether you're buying or selling, Chip will go above and beyond to ensure your real estate goals are met with the utmost satisfaction.
