Anthony has been such a blessing! He and his team walked us through the loan process smoothly, answering any questions we had with just a call or text. Thanks to Anthony and his team, we closed the loan 7 days early, which was a huge help since we’d just sold our old home and moving into the new one was so easy. Thanks again, Anthony, for all your help and support!

Anthony and his team performed professionally and worked diligently even when the odds were stacked against me. The confidence they had in putting me in a home made the intimidating process of buying home a wonderful experience.

As a real estate agent, I’ve worked with Anthony on many transactions over the years, and he has consistently been my go-to lender. He has helped save deals when builder lenders couldn’t get my clients approved and always works hard to find solutions. Anthony does an excellent job explaining the lending process and making clients feel comfortable and confident throughout the transaction. His communication, professionalism, and dedication make him a trusted partner, and I highly recommend him.

Anthony knocked it out of the park! I talked with several lenders and chose Anthony because I could tell he knows his stuff and he proved that to be true time and time again during the process of buying our Hawaii condo. Him and his team worked into the night to get the job done after a curveball in the process. We are so grateful for his knowledge and his team’s dedication to doing a great job! Mahalo!

Response from Owner

Mahalo Nui Bower for your kind words if was great orking with you!

This IS DA MAN ! I was not the person getting the loan, BUT, it was JUST as important to me that the Buyers did. :) Anthony is not only a brainiac, he is kind, compassionate, sincere, way too smart, the Best in his field as far as I am concerned. Even if there is a hiccup, (to no fault of his team), which I guess 99% of the time there is "something", he was ON it, with every resource available, up at all hours, gettin' 'er DONE. This was not just a transaction to me, my life was in the balance and to be honest, I ALWAYS have a "worst case scenario" plan, or a "Plan B", and in all my almost 70 years on this planet, this is the first time I did not! I trusted everyone involved from the get go and was so surprised at the Peace I had. I thank the Good Lord, and especially HOW He uses His People. Thank you ! Anthony Valentino is my angel!

Response from Owner

Mahalo Nui Terri for your kind words!

Anthony and his team recently helped my wife and I through the long journey of buying our first home on Kauai. I can't say enough good things about Anthony's way of communicating the somewhat complex language of finance and mortgage speak into easy to digest information. We learned to much through the process and felt so equipped with what he taught us that it really made our home buying experience a pleasure. He was always available to answer all of our questions and was the expert we needed to guide us to our new home. Mahalo Anthony!

Response from Owner

Mahalo for the review Brian, I super happy for your beautiful family and i am thankful for the opportunity to help!

Mahalo's Kenya my ride or die GA Realtor. Your positive thinking clients first approach is a breath of fresh air every time we get to work together!

I have worked with Anthony on many loans over the past couple years. He and his team are excellent! Very professional!

Response from Owner

Mahalo Nue Jeff for being the Local rock for our buyers needs, when we need the go to local bank for Kauai. Your focus on communication is why doing loans with FHB is so easy and stress-free.

If there is one supreme lender I would recommend in the world it would be Anthony Valentino. He and his team are on it from the beginning and they have amazing communication with our clients. Beyond that he breaks it down into numbers so if you're an investor he can give you it straight and show you the forecast of appreciation. His ability to use technology is unsurpassed as he gives videos to update everybody in the process. If you would like more five-star reviews maybe we should share an elevator and I could tell you this in person.

Response from Owner

Mahalo Nui Kris, you are by far the single best Realtor in Sedona AZ. Your attention to detail and how you answer questions before they are even asked shows why your the level most Agents dream of getting to. Every time I get to work with you and your team, I feel so thankful.

Anthony is the best. Super knowledgeable and credible. He gives excellent advice and watches out for his clients best interests.

Response from Owner

Mahalo's Max I appreciate you trusting me

I’ve utilized Anthony’s services more than once in the last few years. Each time I worried there would be too many barriers to me getting the loans but Anthony is a master at what he does. Other lenders promise the world but deliver peanuts and frustrations. Anthony is in my humble opinion the ONLY way to get a great loan. He’s just a master and that all I can say.

Response from Owner

Your awesome brother, thanks for the kind words.

Anthony is the BEST!!!! He & his team go above and beyond to make your dreams of home ownership possible!!! We look forward to working with him again in the future and is our #1 recommendation to our friends & family.

They were professional, responsive, and always made sure I understood each step along the way. I truly appreciated how they kept me informed and guided me with honesty about what to expect. Their expertise and support gave me confidence throughout the process, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Anthony and his team to anyone looking for a lender who goes above and beyond.

My name is Shirley May. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Valentino at Rate Insurances last year and since I'm a first time homebuyer the experience was way more pleasurable than I thought it would be. Whenever I had an question about ANYTHING about procedures and/ or the next step in the process he or one of the associates ALWAYS made sure I completely understood EVERYTHING about the questions that I had. And even called or texted me back to make sure things went as they should. Right down to going through the process of Docusigning everything. Which I had never done before. It was altogether a good experience. THANK YOU Mr. Valentino.

Response from Owner

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Shirley! We're thrilled to hear that Mr. Valentino and the team provided you with a smooth and informative experience as a first-time homebuyer. Ensuring that our clients feel supported and understood throughout the process is our top priority. We appreciate your kind words and are glad everything went well, including the Docusigning. Congratulations on your new home!
