What a time to refinance during this pandemic! In February, my husband and I were referred to Shannon at Aloha Lending. We wanted to see if we could get a better rate than what we had at that time. Shannon checked our credit within seconds and gave us a rate we couldn't refuse. Then the state shut-down and quarantine happened. We were unsure what that meant since we were in the beginning stages of refinancing. Luckily, Shannon and her team kept us in communication during the whole process. We finally met Rachelle (Notary Public/Signing Agent) at the office to sign paperwork. The whole ordeal took about 30-45 mins. It felt like this time around, signing paperwork was a breeze. We are grateful that this transaction went smoothly as possible. Unfortunately, we did not meet Shannon in person as we would like to thank her and her team for their service and assistance. We are looking forward to what our future holds and hope that we continue to work with Aloha Lending. read more

Working with Team Taparra made everything a breeze as a first-time home buyer. With recent rates so low, it's no wonder Shannon was so busy AND she was able to get me low rates as well! Shannon was so flexible when it came to appointments especially during this whole pandemic she was able to answer all my questions and she even took the time to explain line by line. She made me feel at ease since everything was foreign to me as a first time home buyer. Her assistant, Melanie was very responsive and quick with the paperwork during the loan process. It helped that our agent was her son Justin, which made the process even faster. Also, great job to the rest of her team on working with VA side! If you're looking for a company that's very familiar oriented, check out Aloha Lending! read more

We expected the process of buying our first home to be incredibly stressful and difficult, but working with Shannon and her team made it practically worry free! We were referred to Shannon and Aloha Lending through our real estate agents who are also her equally excellent husband and son team, Raphael and Justin, in the same building at Century 21. These 2 entities together made us feel taken care of. From all the forms, questions, educating, hunting, they were both incredibly professional and easy to work with. I'd be more than happy to work with them again in the future! Until then we'll be enjoying our home read more

I just purchased a Condo in Wahiawa and my realtor was Justin Taparra. I was desperately in need of my own place, due to being tired of paying rent for others mortgage. Team-Taparra/ Aloha Lending Services is the best group of professionals in which I was fortunate enough to secure as my realtors. Justin, a very well spoken, totally knowledgeable, aggressive and experienced home expert, along with the Team squared me away so easily, to include the detailed knowledge of the home financial systems in which Shannon and her crew educated me on so I may make the decision I'm comfortable with. The bottom line up front and the plain truth is: Team-Taparra/ Aloha Lending Services made this purchase process easier than the process I endured recently buying a farm car! These folks are like a machine with a total interpersonal professionalism to make you feel you can realax. Thanks to the entire team and special to Justin, the True Professional! Mahalo, Mike Hamilton read more

Big thanks to the entire team at aloha lending services, especially Aunty Shannon! She is a well sought out lady, and let me tell you she is definitely worth it! While I'm sure she has a million clients, she never made me feel like she didn't have time for us. All the while she had an amazing team that was always available to answer questions. In the beginning of this process we thought that purchasing a home was entirely crazy, but she gave us the reassurance it wasn't. Gave everything to us step by step and broke it down. She made the process as simple as it could be to get us through. We couldn't have done this without her or her team. So if you need a lending service, they are the way to go! Thank you again to everyone who helped us along this journey. We can't thank you guys enough! read more

My wife and I are super blessed to have Shannon, Lindsay, Melanie and the rest of the staff at Aloha Lending help us purchase our first home. As a first time home buyer, we were very nervous and a little scared, but Shannon made this process very easy and explained everything very thoroughly. During pre-qual Shannon broke down all the numbers and explained everything. The previous year we got pre-qualified from another lender, and she just threw numbers at us and didn't explain anything, which honestly scared us away and caused us to back out, but when Shannon broke everything down and explained it, it definitely brought peace of mind. Shannon and her staff definitely live up to their company name "ALOHA" lending. They are all professionals and displayed "Aloha" during the whole process, especially when I had a speed bump with escrow and it got a little stressful. They were there every step making sure I had the proper documents for escrow. I highly recommend seeing Shannon and the staff at Aloha Lending. I definitely will and can't wait to see her again for our next home purchase. Much Mahalos to everyone that worked with us at Aloha Lending Services!!! read more

Shannon and Lindsay were very helpful and patient. They answered all of my questions and explained everything for me to understand. Special thanks to Lindsay for fielding all of my questions and in a timely manner. Shannon also gave me my options but also provided insight and what she does herself. For me, that's speaks volumes. I prefer to go with someone who actually does what they recommend. I will definitely be working with them again. My only advice to others would be that banks take a long time to process loans, so either set your expectations or reach out to Shannon or Lindsay sooner. read more

Shannon and her team were awesome!

This past year has been extremely stressful with Covid and being furloughed on and off from my job. After returning to work, I had attempted to refinance through a larger bank on the island but the loan person had simply too much on their hands and simply gave up after one try. Lennie Jenkins helped me and my girlfriend out so much as he tried different routes to make it work for us despite any obstacles that were thrown our way. He was prompt with his emails and guided us step by step through the process and made it very easy for us. During a time that was difficult for everyone, he never gave up and found a way for us to refinance our place and saved us a lot of money. I highly recommend Lennie and will go to him in the future for any type of loaning needs. Very trustworthy and east to work with. Thank you to Lennie and the Aloha Lending Services team for helping us out in such trying times! read more

Aloha Lending Services - Thank you Lennie and the Aloha Lending Services team! - Mortgage Brokers Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

Shannon and her team are amazing at what they do! They are fast, reliable, and make your dreams come true! Go with the best!

I wanted to take a moment to tell you what a fabulous experience I had working with Lennie. He was pleasant to speak with, very knowledgeable about his craft. As a result of Lennie's enthusiastic help and expertise, I am happy to have become a first time home buyer. In short, Lennie is the type of person who makes the difference between a mediocre customer experience and a fabulous one. He's a great asset and a fantastic representative for Aloha Lending Services!!!! Pretty much sums up the name of this company. ALOHA all the way!!!! The process seemed very overwhelming for the most part, but as the days progressed and when it came time to closing, reality took a turn and all the stress lifted off my shoulders. I am one to put trust in those that immediately give me reason to. Lennie does not disappoint. He went above and beyond, even as to drive out to meet me to meet deadlines. It's that kind of service that truly speaks volumes. Don't hesitate. Call them and when you first meet Lennie and his team, get ready for the ride of a lifetime!!!!! read more

We worked with Shannon for a refinance of our condo. We had shopped around and Aloha Lending Service was able to get us a little better rate for similar fees compared to other places we had checked. Shannon was super helpful every step of the way and really responsive. Everything went super smoothly. read more

I give Aloha Lending a five-star review for the splendid professional work they did for us. Shannon and the Aloha team are knowledgeable, on-time, trustworthy, personable and caring. I highly recommend you set up a call with them before you choose a mortgage company to work with. From the very first call they guided us through the complex process of getting from application to funding/closing. During the process they kept us fully informed and advised on each step. In simple terms they know what they are doing, they did exactly what they said they would do, and you can trust them. Vince read more

Shannon and her team were exceptional to work with throughout the entire buying process! Shannon spent time thoroughly explaining everything I needed to know and went above and beyond to make sure I got a great loan. When it was time to sign the complicated loan documents I was overwhelmed, Angel spent 45 minutes on the phone with me explaining every page before I signed. They even let me bring my dog into the office to do the official document signing! Overall it was an amazing experience and I would recommend Shannon and her team to anyone looking to buy a home. read more

I have lived here in Hawaii now since 2007. I never thought of home ownership based on the price points of property here in Hawaii. It was by chance I met Justin Taparra over a year ago. He came into my office for his new 2019 Volvo XC40 and from that point he introduced himself and shared with me his line of work and his family business. The rest is GOLD!! We are homeowners and we are feeling very blessed and thankful.. I must send a shout out to Justin, Shannon, and Melanie and the whole crew at Aloha Lending Service and Century 21 Homefinders of Hawaii. I suggest sitting down with this group of talented professionals and allow them to help you understand the home purchasing process here in Hawaii. Then allow them to simply guide you on the road to making your homeownership dreams come true!! One Love! Darryl aka (Dimple D) read more

Awesome service. Shannon is very knowledgeable and has been able to help me multiple times when others said it was impossible. I've recommended her to multiple friends and family members, each of which have had a wonderful experience. read more

I can be honest in saying I had no idea about how to start the home buying process. A friend of mine recommended I go with a mortgage broker since it is my first time buying a home. I found Shannon and Aloha Lending Services right here on yelp, and making the decision to give them a call has been one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I set up a phone appointment with Shannon to discuss what I'm looking for, and after gathering some information, Shannon was able to run some numbers and come up with a loan option that fulfilled my needs. I found a home I loved, and the loan process was soon underway! Shannon and the entire team at Aloha Lending Services walked me through every step of the process, and constantly kept me updated throughout the escrow process. Shannon secured an incredible rate for my mortgage, and here we are now closing escrow on my home! I can't believe how easy this process was with all the help and hard work from Aloha Lending Services. I highly recommend Aloha Lending Services for all your lending needs. Mahalo again! read more

I am SO GRATEFUL for Shannon and her entire team at Aloha Lending Services! I was so lost in my refinancing process, and she patiently guided me through the process and made it so effortless and stress-free! In our first conversation, she was able to provide me with an unbelievable rate, step-by-step instructions, and a list of items needed. Shannon and her entire staff have exceptional communication and are very professional. She has made such a huge impact in so many lives (note only 5 star reviews on here!), and we are all so lucky! Thank you so much, Aloha Lending Services! read more

Thank you to Lennie Jenkins and the entire team at Aloha Lending services. Without them I wouldn't of been able to accomplish my dream of owning my own home. After over a year talking to different lenders and trying to find a way to refinance and keep my home after a divorce, I was about to give up until I met Lennie. With his knowledge, professionalism, and positive attitude Lennie helped me through the whole process making a complicated ordeal smooth and easy for me. There were many obstacles that we had to overcome due to discrepancies on legal documents which led to a petition to land court. Lennie was always reachable and kept in contact with me throughout the process. With his hard work and perseverance he was able to make this seemingly impossible endeavor happen! I recommend Aloha Lending services to anyone from someone experienced in home buying to someone just starting out as they will help find and explore every option and find a solution that can work for anyone. read more

I highly recommend Aloha Lending Services!! They have superior service. My husband and I were looking into refinancing because of the low mortgage rates. Although I was unsure if we were able to do it because of Covid, I just went ahead and searched Yelp like I always do. Aloha Lending Services was on top of the list. I read every single reviews. LOL So I just took it upon myself to e-mail Shannon Taparra. I was sold with the high rated reviews (I base everything on consumer/service reviews). In that e-mail, I provided her with our financial information (debts and income). I specifically wrote on that e-mail that I don't want to commit on pulling my credit report until she can see if we were able to do it by just providing that information. Shannon called me on that same day, and it was a Saturday, so I wasn't really expecting to get an answer until Monday. She was very pleasant to speak with and she provided me with all the information I needed. After talking to my husband, we took the leap and gave her the go ahead and pull our credit and go through the refinancing process. I know refinancing is stressful and especially with all the paper works involved; however, this experience we had with Aloha Lending Services is by far the least stressful financial decision we made. Everything was easy. I felt like I just provided everything they needed and we were closing. It was a breeze. We closed earlier than expected, and that was amazing because with COVID-19, we were anticipating longer wait, but Shannon did her magic and voila! We are saving money. I also have to give her assistants credit. Hoku and Melanie were on it. They answered every single questions I had and they responded in timely manner. They are a great team and for that, I recommended them to our friends. I am looking forward to working with them again in the future. read more

Lindsay was available every step of that way when we were applying for a HELOC and does not make you feel stupid at any point (even when you know you're asking a stupid question). Shannon went over our application and was so patient with me answered all of our questions as well. We will definitely go back to them in the future! read more

I needed quick answers and Shannon helped me quickly and went out of her way to provide me answers and drew up three options for me. She didn't hesitate. Was very helpful and didn't even try to convince me to go with her. She actually told me the opposite as she knew our situation and what would be best for us. She had our best interest in mind, not hers. And for that she gets 5 stars. She is a person who cares about you. Thanks Shannon. Very helpful information you provided me. Thanks to her daughter who works with her that quickly helped me get connected to her. read more

Great service! Shannon and her staff are very friendly and helpful. They make the refinance process move along smoothly
