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!

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!

We mostly worked with Joanne, but the team helped us through every step of the way and made the whole process much more manageable. They were available anytime we had questions and not only made sure we understood everything, but made sure we could handle all of it as well.

I worked with John and his team on both my home purchases which were 4 years apart, that’s how great he was! John is very professional and knowledgeable about the industry and what’s needed. He ensured he was always available for questions and gave us all options possible to help us make best decisions with our loan. I highly recommend John and his team!
