Just closed another real estate purchase thru Island Pacific Mortgage using Loan Officers Blaze Zeilman and Ann Alo. As Real Estate Professionals, we view different client lending packages often and have found that loans processed thru Island Pacific Mortgage have proven to be one of the the most efficient lenders in every way. Working with this office team has proven to be the best experience time after time. This is not the first time using Island Pacific Mortgage seeking financial loans, which prompted me to write a review on their continued professionalism as well as their up-to-date knowledge of the lending industry. Blaze & Ann found financing suitable for our needs with the best rates and terms available. The process went smoothly due to their daily contact offering guidance and providing answers to our questions. We were prompted every step of the way leading to a successful closing. Thanks Blaze and Ann. We will continue to use your services whenever we find the need for future financing. Mahalo nui loa Tom and Linda Kauai, Hawaii read more

Easiest refinance ever! Blaze Zeilman and the team at Island Pacific Mortgage made this a completely hassle-free experience and I got an AMAZING rate on my refinance! From the moment I called to inquire about a refinance, I felt like they were on my side and working hard to help me. Blaze kept in great communication with me throughout the process via phone calls, text messages and emails. An added benefit was I was able to sign most of my docs though an app from the comfort of my home; giving me plenty of time to review them. I didn't actually meet Blaze until the day of my signing. He was professional, organized, a clear communicator and he took the time to explain each paper before I signed it. After the new mortgage was funded he called to congratulate me and even sent me a handwritten THANK YOU note a week later. I highly recommend using Island Pacific Mortgage and asking to work with Blaze. read more

Island Pacific Mortgage has financed two homes for us in the last three years, one on Kauai and one this past week on Oahu (no, we're not wealthy--the first one was a fixer-upper and we ended us selling it last year.) I would highly recommend them. Their application process is simple and their support is outstanding as you move through the different steps from getting a letter of pre-qualification, locking down the interest rate you need, moving through loan underwriting, securing the loan, and coordinating with your realtor and escrow on everything from wire transfer and loan doc signing to closing turnover of the home. They even solicited insurance quotes for us to help us find the right agent at the right rate. Blaze and Ann are 100% customer service oriented. When I work with them it feels like we are getting the Nordstroms or Ritz-Carlton experience. K. Young - Oahu read more

Nothing about this transaction went as planned. Issues arose with the property (minor - thank goodness), issues arose with the financing, issues arose with the lender, COVID complications, travel restrictions - it was an uphill battle all the way. Just getting the closing funds to escrow required financial gymnastics. Blaze was a trouper all the way through. Each time a new problem arose, Blaze was ready with a solution. He knows how to manage the process and how to talk me down when I become impatient. He was our advocate through the entire process. When it became necessary, Blaze walked the closing funds from our bank to the escrow company because there was no one else to do it. We wouldn't have completed this transaction without Blaze's expertise, patience and extraordinary effort. Thank you Blaze and Island Pacific Mortgage. read more

My wife and I, retirees, decided to refinance our residence which we have owned for over 17 years. Although we are quite comfortable living on our social security, dividend and IRA income and various other assets, numerous brokers and lenders refused to work with us because we did not have "full time jobs". A friend recommended I call Ann at Island Pacific. Along with her associate, Blaze, they assured us they would be able to put something together. Needless to say, I was skeptical. But by using their extensive lender connections and applying their market knowledge, experience, and amazing tenacity, we were able to get a great mortgage at a competitive rate with a local bank. We are delighted with our new mortgage and highly recommend Island Pacific Mortgage. read more

These guys are awesome! I have a very similar story to Natalie M, except my broker hero is Andrew Orozco: I was working with a mainland lender initially, but they had problems figuring out how to underwrite a condo in Hawaii. Half way to closing I turned to Andrew, with not much hope. Right away I could tell he was on another level. Super proffessional, yet approachable, organized and energetic, optimistic and encouraging without making unrealistic promises - just perfect. Best of all he got it done on a reduced time frame, and we were able to close on time! I talked to multiple lenders during this process, but am so glad I found Andrew. I can't thank him enough! If you are looking for lending in Hawaii, these are your guys! read more

We had *two* great experiences with Island Pacific Mortgage. Ann did and outstanding job and led us through the process of obtaining our mortgage. We had many questions, and she answered them all quickly and thoroughly, whether by email or in person. Ann and Blaze got in touch with us later and advised us to refinance to take advantage of lower rates. Once again, we had many questions, and Blaze handled them all. His service went above and beyond, and he made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. We would absolutely recommend Island Pacific Mortgage to any friends who were looking for a mortgage. read more

I highly recommend this company and particularly working with Blaze Zeilman. He is a fantastic mortgage broker. He made buying our first home actually an enjoyable process. He was very efficient, organized, timely, and so easy to work with. He is super approachable and open to answering all questions. He kept us updated every step of the way. My husband and I felt so great knowing he was handling our mortgage for our new home. Blaze is such a friendly guy who gets to know you on a personal level but also keeps things very professional. Thank you again Blaze for all you did for us. -Dustin and Christina read more

These days it's frustrating to go through the loan application process. But Ann Alo and Blaze made it as painless as could be expected. This broker cares about you and go the extra steps to be sure the process is successful. We were doing a 1031 Tax Exchange into property and needed a new mortgage, not a simple transaction. They handled it with ease and professionalism. When extra steps were needed, for example, explanatory letters for aspects of the loan, this team helped the process. We would definitely use Island Pacific Mortgage again. They did an excellent job. read more

During what was a simple, straight forward real-estate transaction, I had a major medical event. Things were close to when it was close to being completed. 2 months in the hospital. You can only imagine how screwed up everything could have gotten. Blaze and the team at Island Pacific Mortgage kept everything pulled together and moving forward. If had not been for their dedication and hard work, my deal would have crumbled apart. Without their understanding and compassion towards my recovery I don't know if I could have followed through. read more

This has been a eight month process working with Island Pacific Mortgage has been a blessing for myself and my wife. We started working with Blaze back in March he told us what we needed to start the process of being prequalified... we did exactly what he said and when we touch ground October 17 we were running he was running right with us. Put in an offer and closed exactly 30 days later I think that may be a record... four days after that we moved into our new home again thank you Island Pacific Mortgage..... read more

Highly recommend Island Pacific Mortgage. Blaze and team are very thorough and professional. They made sure they got all the required documentation and that all the i's were dotted and t's were crossed before they submitted to the lender, so when it came to the actual time for the lender review, it all went as smoothly as possible. Being local, they had a very good idea of any possible issues and were proactive in resolving. Would definitely use them again. read more

Working with Island Pacific Mortgage was incredibly easy and in my opinion, how mortgages should be done. Blaze and his team were great to work with. They were very thorough, timely in their responses, and professional. When the lender was asking for some ridiculous things to be changed on the house we were buying Blaze really went to bat for us to help get the loan closed. I highly recommend working with Island Pacific! read more

We worked with Blaze Zeilman in obtaining a mortgage for a Sun Village Condo. This was our first experience with buying a property in Hawaii and a land lease property. Blaze consistently kept us on the right course to qualifying and was patient as we fought with a retirement account for documentation required for approval. Above all else, Blaze was professional and knowledgeable ! read more

Recently, I worked with Island Pacific Mortgage (IPM) to secure financing for a home purchase. I received good advice and assistance for my first home loan setup in 39 years. IPM helped me understand my options and manage the schedule to settle the purchase on the predicted date. I recommend IPM and Blaze Zeilman to provide the information you need to close the deal on time. read more

We just closed on our home here in Wailua Homesteads. Ann and Blaze did an amazing job of keeping us all on track. We purchased a property with my son and family. So this was a very complicated matter and took extra effort from everyone on the team. They did their magic and here we are going to enjoy our new family compound! Mahalos read more

Blaze at Island Pacific Mortgage was a real professional. He was courteous, timely, skilled and knowledgeable.

Definite recommend! read more
