About Keri Shepherd

Mortgage Executive Magazine 2020 Top 1% Badge  certified divorce lending professional

 

Keri Shepherd is a mortgage industry veteran with 17 years of experience helping individuals and families achieve their home financing goals in Hawaii. Keri was born and raised on the islands where she received a BS from the University of Hawaii-Manoa. Since the beginning, Keri has focused on helping borrowers overcome the challenges to homeownership by offering a diverse line of loan products. These include:
  • Conventional loans
  • Jumbo financing loans
  • VA, FHA, USDA loans
  • Investor financing
  • No ratio/ Out of the box loans

Keri focuses on investors interested in building the community and families who need low down payment programs. She is also deeply committed to helping service members obtain housing. Her father, grandfather and uncle all served in the military, and she considers it a privilege to assist those who serve by guiding them through the complicated VA loan process.

Keri is motivated by her customers. She works to discover their goals so she can offer the right loan; she educates them so they remain in the driver’s seat during the loan process; she remains up-to-date on all mortgage product guidelines so that she can turn a “no” from other lenders into a “yes” for you.

When she’s not helping to secure home loans, Keri sits on the Board of Directors for Make-A-Wish-Hawaii. She is actively involved with Project Hawaii and a volunteer for Big Brothers and Big Sisters Hawaii. Keri resides in Moanalua enjoys spending time with her husband of 25 years, their two children and, quite possibly, the two cutest dogs to ever live.

“Keri is awesome!! After being completely confused trying to refinance with our mortgage company at the time, I was referred to Keri Shepherd by a mutual friend. She answered all of my questions, listened to my family's needs, and laid out the options best for us. Her and her team went above and beyond to make the entire process from start to finish so simple. They exceeded our expectations along the way. I will most definitely be a return client and plan to refer my family and friends to Keri!!”

Leila K. Jan-22
“This is my 3rd time working with Keri and it is because I trust her as a professional to be honest with me, efficiently execute the mortgage process, and keep me updated on where we're at and if there is anything needed from me. Keri pushed hard to make sure we closed on time as we needed to vacate our rental and have kids, pets in tow, so not closing on time was not an option for us. We will continue to use Keri in any future mortgage processes we take on and are extremely grateful to know her and have had her expertise for home buying and financing. Mahalo Nui Keri!!! ”
