My fiance and I had home owner experience on the mainland, but once we moved to Hawaii, we
were unfamiliar with leaseholds, fee simple and other unique Hawaiian real estate
considerations. Also, we had complications of credit restoration and current and previous
employment as well as self employment status. We had also heard many people complain that
the Hawaiian housing market is so expensive we couldn't have hope of owning property here.
However, we had our vision and were determined and creative and Pete explored many financing
opportunities with us. We finally found the perfect property for us and made an offer. Pete
matched the mortgage to our needs and answered all our questions. The escrow went smoothly
because Pete was attentive to details on a daily basis until we closed and recorded.
Pete has been pleasant, professional, knowledgeable and a valuable resource every step of the
way. We highly recommend his services and look forward to future business with him.
Pete, Aloha Nui Loa and Mahalo!

Pete a respectable Loan Officer. Especially at the current state of the mortgage industry, it is very
hard to find reliable, honest, and respectful loan officers. He stays on top of his loans and is very well
received by his clients. I work with many loan officers and I can honestly say that Pete is one of my
favorites to work with. He responds quickly to requests from our company and is very up-front about
his scenarios. I wish more loan officers were like him. I would refer him to future clients and
recommend him to other lenders to do business with him.

Pete is a great loan officer that works hard to get his clients the best interest rate possible. His clients
love his personality and his ability to get great rates. If you are in the market for a home, I would
recommend getting a quote from Pete.

Pete is one of the most AMAZING guys on this island - he's not only a wonderful Daddy of a
beautiful lil' baby - he's ALSO a BRILLIANT networker - in person - as i'm sure he'll be online.
I think everyone who's anyone on the island - KNOWS Pete - and they all smile when you mention
his name. I think it's because he knows how to connect people to each other, host events to bring
people together and really knows his stuff.
If you're considering refinancing, or buying a home in Hawaii - I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND you work
with Pete. You'll never regret it - and you'll be his friend for life.
Thanks for all you do Pete!!! And for welcoming me when i first came to the islands... YOU ROCK!!!

“Pete is one of the best mortgage loan professionals I've worked with. He saw my transaction from
start to end and his follow through was great. Pete gave me helpful advice on my options and made
the refinancing process go smoothly. I'd work with him again and highly recommend him to others
who are looking for a loan officer.”

always beats everyone else’s rates and is patient and understanding when it comes to

on another property. He is a people-oriented person and works hard to provide excellent customer
service.
