The John Z Team was there from day 1 to the closing of our new home. They gave us all the knowledge that we needed to get the best loan possible.

Jeffrey Milliones

Home Owner

The John Z Team did an amazing job on the purchase of my first home back in 2018. My wife and I just recently refinanced and they closed us in 1 month to which we ended up saving almost $200 on our mortgage payment. Thanks John Z Team!
