About Vim
I've spent more than three decades helping people in Hawaii buy and refinance homes — first running my own brokerage, Home Loans of Hawaii, then leading mortgage origination for the largest credit union lender in the state. Today I'm Branch Manager at LeaderOne Financial Corporation. Buying here isn't like buying anywhere else. Leasehold, condo project approvals, ohana units, jumbo loans, VA — I've worked through all of it, and I'd rather walk you through your real options than push a rate at you. First-time buyer, refinancing, or investing: you'll get straight answers and a lender who actually picks up the phone. Vim Balantac | Branch Manager, LeaderOne Financial Corporation | NMLS #351537
