John and his team achieved what my wife and I thought was impossible. We didn’t think home ownership was in our preview but John and his team made it happen for us. He was informative and communicated with us every step of the way. We are thankful for John and his team, especially Steve Khan. We are now enjoying our brand new home!

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!

Homeowner, FHA Home Loan

John and the team were absolutely wonderful. Incredibly attentive and timely with everything they did, and took the time to ensure we understood everything in the mortgage lending process. My wife and I couldn’t thank them enough for working with us and getting us into our dream home!

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.
