I highly recommend Jared and Primary Residential! I was a first time homebuyer and new to the…read moreisland, but I did my homework and know that Jared is the best! 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!

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. Duncan found the right lender for my situation, and did an excellent job coordinating across multiple parties (lender, escrow, borrower). 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.

Their dedication, communication, and commitment to finding us a great mortgage rate truly made a difference.

As first-time homebuyers, we were often times lost/confused about the process, but Kama'aina Mortgage Group made us feel confident every step of the way. Their professionalism, transparency, and genuine care for their clients set them apart. I honestly put all of my trust in their wisdom because more times than not I found myself asking "what do you recommend" and was never lead astray. I would absolutely recommend Kama'aina Mortgage Group to my family and friends without hesitation and already have. If you're looking for a team that will work hard for you, secure competitive rates, and provide exceptional service, look no further.

The whole process took just 43 days!! My sister in law had recommended our Rowena Wong, as I told her we were interested in purchasing our first home. Rowena forwarded us to loan officer Matt, to help us finance our home. Initially, we planned to buy in 1-2 years, but we made it happen in less than 2 months. I met with Matt and got a pre-approval on the same day (in less than 2 hours.) While sitting in the waiting area while he was with his client before me, I found a property online and texted it to my realtor asking about it. We toured the property that same evening, and made an offer the next day. All done within 24 hours, and all thanks to Matt, Rowena and Jay. With their guidance, we submitted an offer and even beat out a higher offer. Our offer got accepted in the following week. Some call it crazy, but I say it's all in God's perfect timing. Matt, Rowena and Jay made it happen for us. I mean it when I say we couldn't have done it without them. They went above and beyond to make sure our first home buying process went quickly (really really quickly) and smoothly. Matt sure we had all our sh*t together, and our transaction was perfect! I was super nervous that it wouldn't happen, but he reassured me that we would get through the transaction without a hitch. One of my favorite things is that he is easy to talk to and relatable. He even gave me some financial advice to alleviate my debts which made a big difference in my monthly bills. I also appreciated Matt staying late hours to meet with us after we were done with work, and not minding bringing our baby to the office. If you asked me a year ago, I would not have think it would be possible to own our own home in 2019, but yet, here we are! I will definitely recommend House of Finance for anyone looking to buy or refinance their home.
