After attempting to refinance with a large company and having it go really poorly to the point we pulled the plug, Preston and crew handled us with such care. They were highly responsive and used as much of our work from the prior attempted refi as they could, including the appraisal we had already paid for. They got us a great rate and walked us through the whole process step by step, readily answering any of the questions we had and trying to make things work for us in the best way possible. We can't thank Hi Five and Preston enough! Highly recommend!

His professionalism, attention to detail, and calm, friendly attitude made the entire process smooth and surprisingly enjoyable. If you're looking for a lender who truly cares, communicates well, and delivers outstanding service, McKay is the one you want in your corner. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

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.

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!

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.
