About Roland

I am incredibly dedicated to helping you achieve your dreams and financial goals. Since 1992, I've known that helping people with their home financing is my passion. Seeing people like you get the keys to your new homes is the ultimate satisfaction.

By working all week and many evenings, weekends and holidays, I've been able to learn more, hone my skills, excel at my craft and truly understand the complexities of a loan. By looking at the whole picture and not just the mortgage aspect, I can find solutions for even the most challenging situations. Not only can I help you find the best product for your needs, I will take the time to explain every step of the mortgage process and personally close your loan.

I've held industry leadership positions at both the state and regional level. I served two terms as President of the Hawaii Association of Mortgage Brokers (HAMB) and have served many years as President of the Western Regional Mortgage Brokers Conference. I aim to develop and establish my business as Hawaii's go-to mortgage company and mentor the next generation of loan officers to help maintain the integrity of our industry for years to come.

I was born and raised in New York City and went to school there as well as Long Island, upstate New York, Cleveland and Michigan. I love traveling by car or RV, playing poker and visiting Las Vegas.

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

What’s not to love about having a space that is entirely yours? You can paint your bathroom fuchsia, have hardwood in the master, put up a wild Mosaic in the kitchen, install a smart thermostat, you name it. After all, it’s your home!

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.
