We'll be forever grateful. Thank you Shannon! Thanks so much for you and your fabulous team!

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.

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.

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!

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!
