A long overdue review, but incredibly heartfelt and full of gratitude…read more When the market and rates were getting really tricky in 2023, Shannon and her awesome team helped us through a very tough time and difficult refinancing of our home so that we could buy out the other heir to the property. Not only did she help us save our home, she also helped us to consolidate our debts and make everything manageable. They never gave up on us and fought to make it all work out. We'll be forever grateful. Thank you Shannon! Thanks so much for you and your fabulous team!

I have honestly not been using Yelp recently other than as a quick google source to see rates for…read morecheck up of the expected quality I am about to receive. Nevertheless, today after receiving an open arms, welcoming introduction to the meeting in this supposed to be quick get-to-know-each-other kind of relaxed meeting, I got to meet the legendary Jodie (and Geoff). I say legendary as I was seriously perplexed in all the positive analysis developed just from quick, focused, and efficient $$$ Jodie was able to jot down and calculate. Although I already have a house, I really feel like just a peon on this chess board of life. Thats why I do not see it anywhere close to the end of my story. I am currently 33 and genuinely not a subject matter expert in anything with mortgage, Jodie was able to translate my sloppy knowledge about mortgage processes and flip it into something I can easily understand. Likewise, she also provided me with not only one view, but actually a few different visions, but again this time with the realistic and workable matching information to my actual life/scenario rather than the poor information I sourced just from google ‍. The whole reason I took a few mins to seriously sit down and write this Yelp review was to display the equal level of respect Jodie and Geoff represented. They immediately displayed advanced subject matter expertise and soaring intellectual knowledge about the whole finance mortgage obstacles, and seriously held that standard throughout the meeting and the exact way all the way through the meeting and when we all parted ways. Seriously in the 1-2 hr meeting today, I went in there confident, but afterwards, the awe-inspired vibes and reality reassurance they both provided me gave me one of the best feelings/highs I've had in a very long time. Although I just met them, without Judie or Geoff needing to ask me to recommend them to others, I would in a heart beat share the knowledge they gave me and their contacts now to anyone who needs assistance with mortgage as I want all my friends, family or just anyone I know to surround themselves with the highest levels of respect and treatment as this will lead anybody trying to provide for their family the best they truly can do and show for their hard earned money. Respect and appreciation is all over this review but again from the bottom of my heart, my family thanks and appreciate this. Thank you.

We met Jodie through Team Lally, and I must say--it was an emotional journey, but overall, we're…read moreincredibly happy and grateful for the service we received. We worked closely with Jodie, Anna, Lisa, Kasie, and Jeannie throughout the entire process. They were all extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and dedicated--putting in long days and late nights to make sure everything went smoothly. While there were some stressful moments (through no fault of theirs), they guided us through every step and made sure we got exactly what we needed. We asked for so many estimates and had so many questions--and they handled it all like pros, never missing a beat. Thanks to their hard work, we were able to get to closing much faster than expected. Their attention to detail and commitment gave us complete confidence that not only would the job get done--but it would be done right. And that peace of mind means everything. I highly recommend Pacific Rim Mortgage to anyone and everyone. I would absolutely work with them again!

The woman today had assisted me with my transactions and provided both genuine care and support for my situation and time of need. She was very professional with my encounter. She is very patient and accommodated my every need. Most times, dealing with customer service, not to often can you talk with a stranger on a personal level as if I'm talking to a family and friend. This representative did just that and I applaud her for her efforts. Thank you again and hopefully other customers can also receive this type of service.

Banking in Waikele, O'ahu, Hawaii…read more.. I was told by my other credit union that Aloha Pacific Federal Credit Union was right across the way... haha! How convenient! I was able to transfer money easily from one to the other! I like Aloha Pacific Federal Credit Union for its yearly local calendar. They ask members to submit photos for the theme of the year. For example, one year, the theme was favorite places. This past year, it was pets. In the past, I remember shared recipes. Anyway, the Waikele location is new-looking, clean, spacious, and bright. It felt a bit odd when I was doing my transaction because I think there could be more privacy... Maybe if the line for the tellers was further away from the counters? Thanks for the friendly, efficient service! I'll be back!

Members submit photos to the contest and the best photos are published in the calendar. It's really cool to see local talent from amateur photographers in our 50th State! Note: I'm a member here because I used to work for The City and County of Honolulu. My coworker said that it's better to have more Credit Union accounts and compare interest rates, benefits, etc. Since I was in the area, I went to this branch of Aloha Pacific FCU. It had free shared parking and great air conditioning! The interior was bright and clean with cute Christmas decorations. Unlike the main branch where members speak to tellers via phone - and place ID, checks, cash, and other documents into a tube to send upstairs, this Waimalu branch has face-to-face transactions. I like it better! When it was my turn, I stepped up and asked for a calendar. I was asked how many? Ooh! I got two - one for my kitchen and one for my bathroom... Haha! I never know what day it is! Anyway, I'm glad that I went to the Waimalu Branch of Aloha Pacific FCU. I had gone to the main branch a couple of weeks ago, but the calendars hadn't arrived yet. I wanted to go early before they ran out!
