It was a pleasure working with Elias and his team. The loan process went very smooth and easy. We closed loan on time. I'm looking forward to working with Elias and his team again, in the near future.

Elias is an absolute professional. Not only was (is) he down to earth but very knowledgeable about the entire process. He took time out of his day to check in on me and answer any questions we had including in off hours. I highly recommend giving him a call if you're going to use your benefits for a VA home loan. This guy is saving me thousands of dollars and is THERE TO HELP. Best part is he doesn't have a sales pitch or some elevator speech to get your business. its straight forward, honest, FAST information and help.

Outstanding experience with Eli for our Hawaii VA loan! As a veteran, finding a true VA loan specialist who understands the unique aspects of military lending was crucial. His good communication throughout the entire process kept us informed at every step, and he secured us incredibly low interest rates for our two-unit property purchase. The Hawaii VA loan process can be complex, but he made it seamless. Highly recommend to any military families looking to buy in Hawaii!

Elias is the absolute best Hawai’i VA Loan specialist. If you are active duty or a veteran looking for a home in Hawaii, look no further. Elias guided us every step of the way and was able to get our interest rate dropped by 0.375% between our offer being accepted and the time we closed. The most honest broker I have ever encountered. Elias did everything to help make our home buying experience seamless.

As a retired military member, I’ve worked with a number of professionals over the years, but Eli is top-notch. If you’re looking for a great mortgage broker who genuinely understands the unique needs of service members and veterans, look no further. Eli is the VA loan specialist everyone should have in their corner. He’s incredibly honest, responsive, and knowledgeable.. Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, or PCSing to a new duty station anywhere in the country, this is the only person we recommend for VA loans. His  commitment to veterans is unmatched. If you're serious about working with someone who will always put your interests first and deliver exceptional results, Elias is the one. I only wish we had found them sooner!

Elias was awesome throughout our homebuying process. I felt like he was a very honest and upfront mortgage broker that really helped us get the lowest rate for our VA loan. I appreciated his thorough knowledge of VA loans, and that he's a veteran himself. He really seemed to go the extra mile to get us the lowest interest rate and closing costs, and he was always available to answer our questions, no matter how silly. I would definitely work with Elias again!

I had a very positive experience working with Eli. As a freshly separated Marine Corps veteran who was moving to Hawaii. I was in need of a trustworthy expert on the VA loan. Eli, who is a veteran himself, was able to work at lightning speed to get me the best rate amongst all of the lenders I worked with. And he was able to do so effectively and efficiently while explaining the entire process to a first-time home buyer. To have someone who is dedicated to his role and the knowledge required to be at the top of his trade made the entire home buying process a breeze. Eli is the best at what he does hands down. I will certainly be working with Eli again due to his professionalism, extensive knowledge of financing options (particularly the VA loan) and his overall ability to work and get things done fast and right.
