    I cannot recommend her enough.
    Susan is one of those people you hope you find when you really need them. Professional and very knowledgeable in finance. She was extremely helpful in getting us the best rate and also help us research alternate low interest loans from our Govt retirement accounts that we didn't even know about. I cannot recommend her enough. Will send business her way!

    THANK U!!!!
    If not for Susan I would not have been able to achieve the American dream of owning my own home. Susan was extremely helpful and worked tirelessly (even on weekends) in finding ways to make that dream come true. She provided me with updates and ideas during the process. Just don't call Susan from a block number…..

    Professional, efficient and responsive service!
    Susan turned a stressful home purchase into a pleasant experience. Not only did she ensure that we received a competitive rate and closed on time, she and her team patiently and thoroughly answered every question we had along the way. It was very comforting to receive prompt information throughout the process. Susan is particularly skilled at explaining complicated mortgage terms, options, and requirements in plain English. I highly recommend Susan to anyone in need of mortgage services!

    Made it easy
    We purchased a property in Hawaii and Susan and her staff made it simple. I was fearful it would be difficult being so far away, but the staff made it easy. Constant updates and follow through. There was a sincere desire to remain professional and friendly. Best feeling of a team effort I have ever experienced. Mahalo Susan and staff!

    Fantastic mortgage experience!
    Susan was fabulous. She was so patient and answered every single little question we had, usually within minutes. She was extremely responsive and helpful. She absolutely knows the business and is professional and cheerful. We have bought 4 properties and this was the fastest, smoothest, most transparent lending process. We highly recommend Susan Gordon as a mortgage banker. We are very pleased with our mortgage and our new condo!

    Excellent Experience!
    Susan pre-qualified us for an investment home purchase this year. Over the years, my husband and I have done many real estate transactions with attendant loans, so we have interacted with many lenders. Susan stands out. She is professional and respectful of her clients' time. She keeps track of submitted documents and never requires duplicate submissions. She keeps the loan process smooth and transparent. She is flexible. Our target property and loan amount changed over time, but she adapted without complaint and without skipping a beat. The whole experience was painless, a rare occurrence when seeking a loan. We won't hesitate to contact Susan the next time we are in the market for a real estate loan.

    Excellent Mortgage Banker!
    This is the second time we've used Susan for our mortgage needs in Hawaii. She goes beyond expectations and provides much more than mortgage advice. She is helpful with the other aspects of real estate and stays involved during the entire process. She maintains constant communication and helps resolve issues quickly. Anytime we have any mortgage needs on the Big Island, we will gladly contact Susan.

    Susan knows how to get things done!
    Worked with Susan in purchasing my first home and I couldn't ask for a better lender to work with. Very professional, knowledgeable, and patient. I'm the kind of person that likes to always be one step ahead and could be arduous at times but she was on the same page as me from start to finish, patiently answering all my questions with grace and composure. She truly knows her stuff and was even able to save me a full point off my mortgage rate by introducing me to a loan program I qualified for. Pure class throughout the whole process.

    Susan is amazing to work with. I first met Susan while investigating condo properties in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island. While I ended switching focus to looking at properties on Maui, I could not find anyone to even compare to Susan so I worked with her for the purchase of my Hawaiian dream home.

    Susan is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and hard working. She was very supportive when I backed out of a deal that didn't feel right after inspection and always extended her wishes for the right home for me! As a result, I found the perfect Hawaiian dream property for me and Susan was incredibly knowledgeable and flexible in adjusting the loan needs to the new property's needs.

    She was on top of all details and was able to help drive a 30 day close for a transaciton which is below the average time for Hawaiian transactions.

    I simply loved working with Susan and will always keep her number for future mortgage needs!!! She's simply impressive in every aspect of her work!!! Huge Mahalo to Susan

    Aloha Susan!
    I just wanted to thank you so very much for sending me a copy of the Final Closing Statement for our home purchase. In all the years I’ve been a property buyer/seller, I’ve never received this prior to Tax Time for my convenience. You are a stellar individual, and this gesture reminded me of the awesome work that you did on our behalf. Anyone who has the pleasure to know you and work with you is most fortunate
    Thank you again, and have a fantastic 2020
    PS…
    We absolutely love it here!

    Excellent response time will always be remembered particularly since everything was done remotely. It's been several years since the close, but this remains with me. I have had over 20 mortgages in my lifetime. This had to be the easiest.

    With the wonderful help of Susan I bought my first house last year. I was very nervous about starting the process but when I met Susan all my worries went away. Susan was very patient with me and made the process so easy for me to understand. I feel very blessed to have met Susan because I know I couldn’t have done it without her guidance and support.

    It was a GREAT experience.
    I didn't look forward to all the steps and hoops involved in a refinance.
    However, Susan was so organized and helpful that it went very smoothly. Even when I did get a little stressed with all the paper work required in today's market, she would have some humor and a smile and would help me leap through the hoop. (Hope it didn't put her back out). Susan and her staff were very detailed and professional. I will recommend her to anyone needing a mortgage.

    Susan worked tirelessly during the entire process, especially finding a lender. As the house was in a lava zone it was very difficult to find qualified lenders. Her excellent knowledge and persistence were crucial to my success in closing on my dream property! Thank you for all of your help!

    Susan made the nerve racking time before house closing quite painless and , in fact, comfortable. She did exactly what she said she would, was very knowledgeable about the process and, especially, getting the best possible interest rate. We were so glad that our mortgage could be done through her company and, likely as a result, we were able to close a month after starting the process. We would recommend Susan to anyone in Hawaii looking for a competent, trustworthy loan officer. We would, and have, recommended her to friends who are buying a house now.

    Susan Gordon and "Team Susan" were on top of the loan process every step of the way. Although our pre-qualification letter was with another lender, PMR offered a better loan product and provided superior service. Susan made our re-location to Hawaii a tropical breeze!

    Just two weeks ago I completed the mortgage process for my current home. It started out as an easy agreement between friends and became an intensely frustrating and long process. Early on I realized my loan officer from a previous purchase was only sporadically interested. I was referred to Susan Gordon at Premier Mortgage.

    There was a pandemic as well as extreme undisclosed problems with the house. After one meeting and about two weeks we had passed the point in the process made by the preceding lender after months. Problems with the house because problems with the seller, along with procedural difficulties, and months of physical repair. The problems seemed endless and were more by far than I had bargained for.

    All the while, Susan was right there, by phone, text, and email. I think I would have quit if not for her calm, professional, efficiency. My paperwork went through: holds on escrow; addendums to contract; consulting with attorneys; and the constant struggle to manage the house repairs, while trying to maintain income.

    Through it all, nearly 8 months, Susan maintained her effective response to every fluctuation, and there were plenty. I also know that she gives all her clients the same highly detailed and tireless attention. All her clients benefit from a professional efficiency that not only so impresses me, but even more that she relishes being able to serve them. I have told her that 'I am so thankful to have been referred to her at just the right time'. I honestly don't think I would have persevered otherwise.

    Working with Susan Gordan and her team was a wonderful experience. We fully appreciate their expertise and willingness to work with us to troubleshoot the nuances of buying property on the Big Island. Owning a home in Hawaii has been a dream of ours for a long time and we do truly feel that if we would not have found PMR, it would not have happened for us at this time. We are grateful for all they have done to help us and for their process overall – the supporting technology/apps and frequent communication was one of the best we have seen. We have bought and sold many properties and PMR's process clearly stood out from the rest.
