It was our very first experience applying for a mortgage loan and they gently held our hands throughout the entire process.

Don't waste your time going to anyone else. If you want a professional and passionate, locally owned company, go straight to Shannon Taparra and her team at Aloha Lending. The process can be overwhelming, but they will patiently walk you through it. Don't give up! We're so glad we didn't.

I worked with Duncan at Infinite Financial on a complex investment property refinance in Hawaii…read more The building has many complications and nuances such that most traditional lenders will not want to finance it. So it was crucial to work with the right person who had all the necessary expertise, local knowledge, and persistence to find a solution.

Throughout the process, Duncan was consistently available, responsive, and transparent. He kept me informed at every step and made sure I wasn't charged for anything I shouldn't have been paying for, and kept the deal moving on time-sensitive deadlines. Whether you're dealing a straightforward or a complicated financing situation, I'd strongly recommend Duncan and his team.

Primary Residential was one of 10 companies I considered, but after researching and conducting interviews (both phone and in-person), I narrowed it down to 3 companies. They were all very professional and experienced. What led me to Jared as the obvious choice was the combination of rates and lender credits that blew everyone else out of the water. Throughout all stages of the process, Jared was extremely professional and friendly, and always willing to meet up or explain certain processes. He made a potentially overwhelming and confusing process into something painless and efficient. Because of him, I was able to speed up the normal closing timeline from 50 to 35 days, allowing me to move in sooner! He consistently responded to emails or voicemails within the hour, which I really appreciated. Even 4 weeks after closing, he's still answering my questions as fast as ever. Jared helped me decide when to lock in a rate (since rates fluctuate daily), and thanks to him, I got the lowest rate available within the 3 week window I had; the final closing costs were very close to the originally estimated closing costs, but lender credits were better than originally estimated, meaning I walked away with an excellent deal. Again, I highly recommend Jared!
