John was great and with me every step of the way! He let me know what to do and not to do while going through the loan process. If I had a question either he or Joanne was there to help out. I highly recommend John and his team for your mortgage loan. He made it seem so easy and flawless.

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.

VA Loan

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.

VA Loan

John and his team were excellent! This was our second time using them. The first was for a cash-out re-if, this time around was a loan for a home purchase. They made it so easy! Super friendly and there every step of the way with us. Thank you, John and team!

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.
