Since 2018, he has consistently been recognized as the top-producing loan officer in the state, according to the Scotsman Guide Rankings. His journey to this pinnacle is a story of unwavering commitment to service, both in his 24-year career in the U.S. Navy and his current role in the mortgage sector, where he specializes in serving our nation’s veterans. A Distinguished Navy Career Larry’s tenure in the Navy is marked by his role as a Surface Warfare Officer, a position that saw him leading the world’s finest sailors across the globe in defense of our national interests. His naval career, rich in leadership and global experiences, not only exemplifies his dedication to his country but also laid the foundation for his exceptional skills in teamwork, strategy, and perseverance. Family: The Heart of His World Originally hailing from San Jose, California, Larry’s naval journey brought him to various ports worldwide, culminating in a station at Pearl Harbor. As his retirement neared, Larry, together with his wife Vicki, decided to make Hawaii their permanent home, a paradise where they could raise their three children.

His firsthand experience with the VA Home Loan benefit, combined with his extensive knowledge of the mortgage industry, makes him an unparalleled asset to those navigating the complexities of home financing. Known affectionately as “Larry-the-LO,” he ensures that every client’s homebuying journey is smooth, informed, and successful. Beyond the Office When he’s not expertly guiding veterans through the homebuying process, Larry is deeply involved in his family life and enjoys embracing the Hawaiian lifestyle. Whether he’s out on the golf course, riding the waves, or spending quality time with his family, Larry embodies a balance of professional dedication and personal passion. A Legacy of Service and Excellence Larry Gonzales is more than a mortgage loan originator; he is a testament to the power of service, both in uniform and in civilian life. His commitment to helping veterans achieve their dreams of homeownership, coupled with his devotion to his family and community, makes him a distinguished figure in Hawaii and an inspiration to all who know him.
