Second finance/refinance with the John Z team and it came together perfectly. Tyler kept us involved and informed every step of the way, even making sure that the title company and notary had all the details squared away on the Friday before closing (It’s amazing how many lenders don’t pay attention to details like these). This is a great outfit.

Helpful through the Entire Process

John and Ariana were so patient with me! I was going through some tough things personally in my life and both John and Ariana were so helpful and guided me through this process. Doing this on my own was not as scary with their help! It worked! It all came together! Thanks so much! If you need a hand getting a loan, these two are so helpful and explained everything.

Thank You for all your Effort.

The whole team was a huge help they pushed us on a lot of things that needed to be done but finally, after jumping through the hoops it was all worth it. Not often do you really hear of a VA loan closing in 2 weeks. So for all of the effort and struggle thank you all for your help.
