The Simple Path to "Yes"

We don't believe in "No." We believe in "Yes" or "Here is the plan to get to Yes." Here is how we get you into your new home in 3 simple steps.

1. The Aloha Call

Schedule a quick 15-minute chat (Zoom or Phone). We discuss your goals, answer your burning questions, and explain the roadmap. No pressure, just clarity.

2. The Secure Portal

You'll get a custom checklist (Paystubs, ID, etc.) to upload to our secure portal. We verify everything upfront to ensure your numbers are rock solid.

3. The Strategy Session

We meet for a Pre-Approval Consultation to review your buying power. You leave with a "Yes" letter or a clear A-B-C action plan to get there.

Ready to start your journey?

Whether you are buying your first home in Kapolei or investing in a condo in Waikiki, it all starts with one conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Smart answers to common mortgage questions. Optimized for clarity.

Yes! If you are an eligible Veteran or active duty service member, the VA Loan offers 0% down payment. Additionally, certain rural areas in Hawaiʻi may qualify for USDA loans which are also 0% down. For other buyers, we have programs starting as low as 3% or 3.5% down.
It doesn't have to be! While big banks often struggle with self-employed tax returns, we have access to 'Bank Statement Loans' where we qualify you based on your business deposits rather than your tax returns. This is perfect for business owners with complex write-offs.
A Pre-Qualification is a rough estimate based on what you tell us. A Pre-Approval is verified. We review your documents (income, assets, credit) and issue a letter that tells sellers you are a serious buyer who can actually close. In this market, you need a Pre-Approval.
The national average is around 30-45 days, but the ʻOhana Mortgage Team moves faster. With our efficient process and in-house processing, we often clear loans to close in 21 days or less, provided documents are submitted promptly.
