How Compass Home Loans Became Number One.

Oahu, Hawaii, July 14, 2017 (Newswire.com) -  Compass Home Loans, LLC, is a full-service, Hawaii-based mortgage banking company. It was launched by a small team led by President Jon Whittington to provide Hawai‘i home-buyers with the widest range of mortgage loan options available and top-tier, expedited customer service. In their first year, they went from startup to the 16^th largest mortgage company out of 200, becoming Hawai‘i’s fastest growing mortgage company along the way. They outgrew their original office. Relocated their headquarters. Saw five of their Loan Officers receive “Best In Real Estate – Mortgage Category” awards from Honolulu Magazine. And now, at the end of their second full year of doing business, they’ve just been voted Hawai‘i’s best mortgage company.

What has made Compass an overnight sensation?

“In some very important ways this was not that quick at all,” laughed President Jon Whittington. “At least not when you add up the decades upon decades of experience our staff has in the Hawai‘i market.” When Mr. Whittington launched the company, he focused on recruiting home loan professionals who not only knew the business but were experts in the local market. Compass’ team of best-in-class mortgage professionals has been key to the company’s unprecedented growth and success, enabling Compass to leverage a wealth of local knowledge in tandem with state-of-the-art technology from one of the nation’s largest mortgage bankers

Whittington also attributes the companies’ success to his rapidly growing team. “Our own employees have been our greatest recruiters,” said Whittington. “We are a very attractive company to work for because we create a work environment that allows people to prosper by letting them focus on creating and nurturing relationships rather than bogging them with paperwork.”

According to Executive Vice President Andrew Kim, “Our partnership with Stearns Lending, one of the nation’s largest mortgage bankers, has played a critical role for us.” With Stearns’ resources and focus on technology, the team at Compass was able to provide its customers with personalized loan options tailored to local borrowers’ specific needs, and back it with the strength of a leading mainland company. “It’s really the best of both worlds for our clientele,” assures Mr. Kim.

For example, instead of waiting for over a month to learn whether they’ve been approved as a borrower, clients taking advantage of Compass’ FastTrack program can get an answer back in as few as five days. “Not only did we promise faster answers than other companies were able to provide,” says Whittington, “we delivered them. In fact, we were so confident in our process that if couldn’t deliver on what we promised, we’d credit our clients $1,000 when their escrow closed.” Nobody else in the market had ever done that.

Now that the company has established itself, will there be any further changes in store? “Absolutely,” assures Mr. Whittington. “Compass will continue to innovate. We are constantly striving to add to our team, find ways to deliver more value for our clients, open new offices, streamline our process, and deliver the level of service Hawai‘i deserves,” said Mr. Whittington. “Our goal is to continue to deliver the absolute best mortgage loan products and service available anywhere.” In closing, Mr. Kim stresses that with mortgage interest rates at near record lows, and with Compass’ many ways to secure funding, now is an excellent time to buy real estate. “We encourage people to just come in and talk to us,” said Mr. Kim. “You might be surprised to discover that dream home can actually be a reality.”
