The ZTeam at Amerifirst was very helpful during my home loan process in making sure I fully understood everything and answering all my questions. They were quick and efficient and got back to me very quickly on any concern I had. Thanks so much for getting me into the home I wanted!

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.

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.

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!
