Latest Reviews

Talk about hard working and thorough. I never knew I would like personalized attention until AmeriFirst helped us with our VA Home loan. John and Maria were there along the entire process. They will tell you first hand, things got sticky and they stuck their necks for us to ensure that we got the home of our dreams.

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.

The John Z Home Loan Team did a great job keeping me informed as my loan process progressed. They were always available to answer all of my questions and made my home loan process seem less.

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.
