Purchase and Refinance

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!

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!

Highly Recommended
John and his team did a great job helping us through buying our first home (Steve helped us with everything!)! Everything was easy and electronic. They walked us through the process and stayed in contact via email, phone, and text. I would highly recommend using them and will use them again if we ever move! Steve helped us out and was very knowledgeable. He even called me when he was out of town! Thanks again!!

A Special Thanks
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!
