My husband and I recently decided to refinance our investment property. We wanted to work with someone that would take care of us as well as our investment. After researching a few other companies we decided to go with Jim Green from Kama'aina Mortgage. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable and made it very easy to go through the process we needed to finalize everything. Jim is very easy going and never once did we feel pressured to do something we didn't need. He also answered the questions we had in a simplistic way that we would understand. Everything was done professionally and in a very timely manner. Overall, I would highly recommend Kama'aina Mortgage to anyone looking for great personable service. They truly make you feel like family!

I bought my first house with Brian! I say "with" because I would not be in my home without his standing with me. I would have worked with him even without all the extras that he provides. Quite simply, he gave me the best deal. But even more than that, he prepared me prior to ever finding the right house, he talked my worried father through all the paperwork, he supported all my "cold feet" moments, and we made it! Most important is that Brian has a very cool temperament in a situation that often feels like a roller coaster ride. The best way I can put it would be to say that he is a true professional. Separately, he helped guide friends of mine who had outside financing to understand their loans when they were confused by all the different aspects. A year later, he still lets me know if he thinks I may not be aware of something important as a first time home buyer, such as property taxes or an update on insurance. I wholeheartedly recommend Brian and will definitely team up with him again in the future.

My husband and I recently decided to refinance and after being inundated with major mainland refi companies promising the moon, we decided to start looking locally and replied to Philippe Salibi at Kama'aina Mortgage. Being first timers we were looking for people who would be straightforward, honest and of course trustworthy. This being our first home we didn't want to put our trust in just anyplace. With Kamaaina we were not disappointed. We felt that the team which included office manager, Jessica, gave us point to point direction and stayed in contact making us feel at ease throughout the entire process. We don't usually write reviews but for those here in Hawaii who, like us, had no idea where to turn to and need a place to start with their Refi ,we highly recommend making Kama'aina Mortgage Group your first call. We very much appreciated their time and efforts and understanding of getting the best Refi suited for our family

My dad was looking in the newspaper and all he could find was mainland companies, then he came across the ad from Kama'aina Mortgage Group, we was looking for a lower interest rate than what we had, so we gave them a call and things started to happen, our questions got answered. We would like to thank Philippe Salibi and Kama'aina Mortgage Group, who have helped us with our recent refinance on our parents home mortgage. We have been searching around for a great interest rate and Philippe have been there the whole time getting back to us by phone or e-mail, he is honest, knowledgeable and very patient, working with my parents. Finding a local mortgage company made things even better, service was faster and we all felt glad knowing we can call him any time. He set up everything and made it easy for us all the way until it was finalized. We would recommend Kama'aina Mortgage to anyone who ask us.

I personally received the help of Brian Bender and the Kama'aina Mortgage Group team to refinance my mortgage. I found them to be knowledgeable and punctual with a strong command of current mortgage rules and financing alternatives. They have a local Honolulu office and are equipped to service mortgage seekers across the neighbor islands as well. It's nice to have a local company that can handle both purchase money mortgages and conduct refinancing transactions as well. I heartily recommend this company, they know their business well and are good at what they do!

My wife and I are completely satisfied with the service & professionalism provided by KMG. We were shopping around for the best rates for a refinance & decided to go with KMG. The staff was very accommodating & Knowledgeable. They did a great job explaining the process so that the average person could understand. This whole process is very intimidating to a newbie. Philippe Salibi & Brian Bender made the somewhat daunting process easier by allowing us to feel comfortable by being patient & thorough with explaining the numbers & updating us daily on the rates. We were able to lock in at a good rate at almost no cost. The refinance went through & we were ecstatic. I highly recommend Kama'aina Mortgage Group only if Great & Timely Service, Professionalism & good rates matter to you.

My experience with Kama'aina Mortgage Group and working with Brian Bender was by far the smoothest, most time efficient Refinancing I have ever gone through. Brian was super patient and got me the rate I wanted even though that rate seemed unrealistic at the time and no points!!! Brian was incredibly knowledgeable about the mortgage business and he was so patient in answering all my questions in easy to understand language. Most of all Brian did not pressure me with phone calls saying “you better lock in today or else” instead he simply called me immediately when the rate dropped to where I had wanted it! It was a great pleasure to work with Brian and the entire Kama'aina Mortgage Group staff.  They give such personal and customized service, way beyond a typical bank or mortgage company. I will go back to Brian for any mortgages I need in the future and have already recommended him to two of my closest friends looking to refi. I highly recommend Brian and Kama'aina Mortgage Group!
