Working with a mortgage broker gives you many advantages because you’ll have access to many lenders with one credit pull.

Since we do not have any interest in the money that gets lent, you can be confident that our only motivation is to obtain the best deal for you.

ZillowVERIFIEDEverett and Smart Money are impressive! My husband and I were first time homebuyers and don’t know exactly where to start. We followed our intuition and trusted Everett all the way. He took the time to understand our financial situation, goals, and preferences, and then presented us with a range of suitable loan programs. He thoroughly explained the terms, interest rates, and associated costs, empowering us to make an informed decision. He had worked tirelessly behind the scenes, to ensure a seamless experience. In conclusion, our experience was exceptional. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication were second to none. Thanks to team efforts, we are now a proud homeowner. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a loan officer, especially first-time homebuyers embarking on this exciting journey.

ZillowVERIFIED100% stoked on our experience with Everett Arakawa and Smart Money. We didn't get the first homes we looked at...but no worries because Everett was there with us throughout every step. He definitely helped to make the complex process as smooth and understandable as possible. Would recommend without hesitation to anyone interested in a home loan. Mahalo
