About Adam Karalius

I'm a mortgage broker with Edge Home Finance in Honolulu, and a retired U.S. Army Major.

I graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2010 and commissioned as an Infantry officer. After Ranger School I served as a rifle and scout platoon leader at Fort Lewis, Washington, and deployed to Afghanistan. I later commanded a Heavy Weapons Company at Schofield Barracks, here on Oahu, and served as Senior Military Adviser to the Ministry of Peshmerga in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. My awards include the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. I also hold a master's degree in Organizational Leadership from Columbus State University.

When it was my turn to buy a home, I used my own VA loan benefit. That experience, the good parts and the confusing parts, is why I do this work. Military families move on short timelines, often from thousands of miles away, and Hawaii adds its own wrinkles: condo approvals and high prices. My job is to make the process clear and keep it on schedule.

As a broker, I compare loan options from multiple wholesale lenders for VA, conventional, FHA and jumbo loans. I work by phone, video and in person across Oahu, and with buyers in the other states where I'm licensed.
