He worked very diligently and was highly responsive to the multitude of emails and/or phone call inquiries that we had. The best part of our experience in working with Andrew is that he took a lot of the work (e.g. LOEs) out of our hands and into his own. The fact that he comes with a naturally pleasant and cool personality was an added bonus! Taking that stressfull first step in homeownership turned into the most rewarding experience in the end.

From the very beginning I knew I liked Todd and he was going to be someone I wanted to work with, little did I know he could help me in CA!! Great surprise, we kept in contact and despite our time difference and my crazy long busy work schedule (where I would be so hard to reach and at odd hours.) Todd was there every step of the way he was patient with me and not "pushy" as some can be a bit overwhelming. Todd was always very nice to explain everything that was going on because I had ZERO clue on what anything was and how it all worked. I could not have chosen a better person to help me with EVERYTHING!! When I say I couldn't have done it without him, I mean it. I have been nonstop raving about my "mortgage guy Todd" to my friends and family and am constantly referring him because he's just so wonderful. I really hope you use if you are in search of someone because he has gone above and beyond to say the least. I could write so much more about how wonderful he is but by now you should get the gist. Todd, thank you so much for everything. I can't wait to purchase in HI next, haha yes a little far out of my league right now but we are going to work together again, I'm sure of it. Kaeli

There was so much delays due to the amount of people trying to refi and buy homes in this house frenzy Hawaii is having. I was very upset at a point in time but it was from the other end of our HELOC transaction. Lauren was very good at making feel at ease. I was going to not continue due to the delay but like the saying goes, high risk high reward. What I was originally going to do was do a refinance on my condo but what happened was that I could get a lower rate and pay less fees at closing if I went with the HELOC route. I would also get to pay off my mortgage balance and SAVE a ton of money on interest! Living on this island you gotta be smart with your finances so I stayed the course and Lauren is still helpful with questions. Due to pandemic, in person visits were by appointment. Things may have changed but give her a call at Aloha Lending Services if you need her expertise.

She also helped me install a retirement plan and put me on to a program that made me lots of money last year.... Get to know her and find out what kind of magic she can work in your life! I refer everyone to this lady. She is so helpful with a huge, kind heart!!!

Free Home Buyer Seminar…read more location: It's located above Taco Del Mar. It's next to outback Steak house. Across of Home Depot. I highly recommend signing up for this FREE class about learning about your VA loan benefits. I looked up information on the Internet and tried to grab brochures from events. But I learned so much from this class. The site manager Gabe showed a power point presentation and explained the differences between the different loans available. They also gave a free booklet with information about the VA loan. I like that the class was interactive. They asked questions that you could easily answer if you were paying attention and gave out prizes. The company also offered refreshments. I liked that the VA loan officers either served in the military, married to a military spouse, or a family member to a military person. There were several loan officers present. Tai approached my husband and I after the presentation. She was nice, answered our questions, and eventually helped our dream of homeownership become reality. You can find out more about this great company through this link and sign up for a class: http://hawaiivaloans.com/va-seminar/ I wish you the best of luck. Home ownership in paradise is possible with this company.

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 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!

We have never used a mortgage broker before, and when we decided to buy a home in Hawaii we found out that our old credit union bank in Florida does not service Hawaii . But luckily we found Stephanie! She is truly a life saver. She was attentive, knowledgeable and took her time to walk us through the process. We were informed in a timely manner of any pertinent details we needed to take into account. She was very approachable, understanding and trustworthy. We can't thank her enough for her excellent service. We highly recommend her and feel blessed to have had her handle our home purchase. I honestly love the fact that she was honest and straightforward. She didn't make false claims or promises. She was extremely clear, thorough and patient considering that our situation was a little more complex but we did our part and sent in everything when asked and it made the process smoother. She was also very timely and worked hard to make sure everything was ready to go before closing. We recommend Stephanie to anyone in the market. Everything was handled electronically expediently and securely :)
