Tom Ritchie and Candace Chase founded TPMG in September 1997. Its first major organizational step came when TPMG was selected by Central Pacific Bank to assist its mortgage banking operations and increase its servicing platform, while at the same time taking on the role of "Lead Lender" for purchasers in the $200 Million Hawaiki Tower project and the $75 Million One Kalakaua Senior Living Project.

Since its inception, TPMG has diligently added new investors to their product lines, allowing Borrowers the greatest flexibility in financing options available in the Hawaiian marketplace. TPMG acts as a correspondent mortgage broker through a comprehensive network of local and national funding sources—investors such as FNMA, FHLMC, Merrill Lynch, IndyMac, Aurora, Countrywide, as well as several local banking institutions, which allow TPMG to offer their clients as broad an array of mortgage programs as are available in a "one-stop shopping environment." TPMG also customizes its products such as its popular construction-permanent program, financing new construction rolling into permanent financing from $100,000 to $5 Million.

Based on these factors, TPMG’s motto is simply:

Hawaii’s broadest array of mortgage products…
Technologically accessed…
Delivered with Aloha!
