We are a young family and just closed on our HELOC loan with Aloha Lending Services. Shannon and…read moreher team were very knowledgable, patient, and helpful. It was our very first experience applying for a mortgage loan and they gently held our hands throughout the entire process. Initially we were rejected by a bank, but Shannon and her team worked hard to find a lender so that we could keep and fix the home for our new baby that my fiance's grandparents built over 50 years ago. 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 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 met Jodie through Team Lally, and I must say--it was an emotional journey, but overall, we're…read moreincredibly happy and grateful for the service we received. 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!

After a few minutes she tells me she'll be right with me. Then when I told her my account number, I told her old yeah? And she says yeah. All orher tellers from the other branches just laugh with me but not this one. Then I told her I wanted to withdraw $200 from my checking account, one big bill, 50 $1 bills and the rest in $5. When she counted the money in two batches, the bills were all over the counter, and she just left it there for me to pick up the mess. I will avoid this branch in the future unless I absolutely have to use it and hope I don't get this teller again. I know it's hard to find workers but this one leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Glen in home loans ruined my relationship with Wells Fargo. No call back. No follow up. No emails…read more No text. I will never use them again. NO REFI. NO LOAN. Multiple attempts to contact. It seemed they were just interested in getting their money no matter if it would benefit the borrower. Not the kind of business I want to deal with. I don't think it's because I don't have money or a bad credit score which makes it all the more frustrating. If they even sat me down to say that I couldn't get a loan that would have been 150% better then absolutely no contact at all. Is it personal? I have no idea. I wouldnt think so from all the literature and Christmas cards that were sent over the years. Anyway, NEVER AGAIN WELLS FARGO.

My wife and I had an amazing experience working with Kama'aina Mortgage Group during our first…read morehome-buying journey. From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond to make the process smooth, stress-free, and easy to understand. A special shoutout to Hayden Weighner, Taylor Kaiura, and Philip Nguyen for all of their hard work behind the scenes. Their dedication, communication, and commitment to finding us a great mortgage rate truly made a difference. They consistently worked in our best interest, answered all of our questions, and even helped cover expenses along the way, which made the entire experience even more manageable and appreciated. 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. Thanks to Hayden Weighner, Taylor Kaiura, Philip Nguyen, and the entire team for helping make our dream of homeownership a reality!

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 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!

Our experience with the first lending office was terrible. We were going to give up on getting a house because it was so stressful and unprofessional. Our realtor, Tina Marie Garcia, told us that we should see Keri and what she can do for us. My husband and I were very apprehensive at this point because of our previous experience with the other company. However, we decided to give it one more try and contacted Keri. Keri was absolutely amazing! She treated us so kindly and professionally. Her work ethic is great! Keri made us feel like family. She listened and did exactly what she said she would do.

Free calendar at Waimalu Shopping Plaza…read more.. Every year, I enjoy getting the annual wall calendar from Aloha Pacific Federal Credit Union. Members submit photos to the contest and the best photos are published in the calendar. It's really cool to see local talent from amateur photographers in our 50th State! Note: I'm a member here because I used to work for The City and County of Honolulu. My coworker said that it's better to have more Credit Union accounts and compare interest rates, benefits, etc. Since I was in the area, I went to this branch of Aloha Pacific FCU. It had free shared parking and great air conditioning! The interior was bright and clean with cute Christmas decorations. Unlike the main branch where members speak to tellers via phone - and place ID, checks, cash, and other documents into a tube to send upstairs, this Waimalu branch has face-to-face transactions. I like it better! When it was my turn, I stepped up and asked for a calendar. I was asked how many? Ooh! I got two - one for my kitchen and one for my bathroom... Haha! I never know what day it is! Anyway, I'm glad that I went to the Waimalu Branch of Aloha Pacific FCU. I had gone to the main branch a couple of weeks ago, but the calendars hadn't arrived yet. I wanted to go early before they ran out!
