"Friendly, Fast, Excellent"
Brenda was hands down a Rockstar from start to finish! She was so easy to communicate with and made the process super fun, easy and enjoyable. By closing, her friendly demeanor made it feel like we were working with a family member. Couldn't be more happy with her service to us and her overall professionalism with added care!

"Simple. Great, Caring"
Brenda was an absolute blessing to work with. From the beginning to the end she fully explained the process and answered all of our many questions. She contacted us often to either check in or give us an update. My wife and I truly feel she went above and beyond our expectations.

"Responsive, Helpful, Simple"
The home buying process has the potential to be longer and more difficult than anticipated. However, working with Jo Akeo and Hawaii VA Loans made this process quick and simple for us! From timely and helpful responses to all our questions large and small, to support for organizing closing whilst I was traveling abroad and my husband was on the mainland, Jo and her team made sure we were up to date with all the information for our purchase. Thank you so much to Jo and her team for helping us make home ownership a reality!

"Convenient, Ensuring, Easy"
I would really love to thank Brenda Carr for a wonderful job! This was our first home purchase and she made it easy and clarified all the questions we had. In the beginning we was choosing who to finance our loan and we chose Brenda and Hawaii VA Loans because she was really friendly and explained all our options. If anyone is trying to buy a place Brenda and Hawaii VA Loans is the place to go!

"Convenient, Easy, Stress-Free"
Before finding Hawaii VA Loans, we were working with another VA Loan Lender and were very unsatisfied with their quality of work. As first time home buyers, the whole process is very challenging and of course filled with lots of questions. Hawaii VA Loans was right by our side through the whole process assisting as much as possible. We couldn’t be happier with the professionalism, devotion and dedication that Hawaii VA loans provided our family!

"Positive, Rewarding, Impressive"
I am a first time home buyer and just recently moved into my first home that is a dream come true! While I knew I wanted to purchase a home prior to my move to Hawaii I was unable to leave the mainland during the process. I was nervous and not exactly sure how it would all work. I looked into several banks and loan companies until I found Gabe Amey. As soon as I spoke with him on the phone, I knew that he was the person I wanted to work with. At first Gabe gathered all of my information and led me in the right direction. He explained all of my options and what I could expect to happen. When I finally found my dream home, it was Gabe that provided a pre-approval letter and convinced the sellers that I was financially sound to purchase the home. During the next 2 months Gabe was at my disposal 24 hours a day (except of course the 6 hours he took off to get married). Not only was Gabe incredibly professional and competent but he was a true delight to work with and learn from. I am now in my dream house on the ocean in Hawaii and it is all thanks to Gabe and my wonderful realtors. For anyone looking to purchase a home in Hawaii I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gabe.
