Real estate in Hawaii is hot, and mortgage brokers on each of the Hawaiian islands are numerous and competitive. Demand for vacation homes and investment properties in Hawaii slightly complicates the real estate market in Hawaii, and a number of consumer protections have been put in place to ensure that mortgage brokers are vested and ethical. All Hawaii mortgage brokers must maintain a principle residence in Hawaii, which helps reduce the prevalence of fly-by-night mortgage brokers with little investment or knowledge of the unique Hawaiian real estate markets.
Mortgage broker and mortgage solicitor licenses in Hawaii are overseen by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs through the Professional and Vocational Licensing Division. You can verify mortgage broker licenses by calling (808) 587-3295. Mortgage brokers in Hawaii who wish to go above and beyond the minimum requirements imposed by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs can become members of the Hawaii Association of Mortgage Brokers, an affiliate of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers. The bylaws of HAMB stress ethical and professional behavior and continuing education for mortgage brokers.
