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.

Home 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!

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!

Travis M

Homeowner, FHA Home Loan

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!

Bryant Overton

Home Owner

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!!
