I highly recommend Ricky and his team at AmeriFirst Financial. Ricky is extremely knowledgeable on what my clients need to qualify them for purchasing a home. I had the pleasure to work with Ricky on the purchase of my own home and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. He went above and beyond to make sure I closed successfully. Ricky is a very dedicated individual who works for his clients and follows through on every part of the process. He closely follows the transaction and will call all parties involved promptly with information that may require immediate attention for an on-time closing. Thanks Ricky, Jordon & the entire Khamis Team. ~Ericka Lassiter

If I could give no stars I would. This was by far the worst experience I’ve had getting a loan. It should have been the easiest loan. I have no debt with enough in the bank to pay cash for the home. Verifiable income, yet it took over 5 months. It cost me so much more then promised!! Higher interest rate then promised. So many promises with non kept. I’m the end I should have been thankful? I can’t even begin to explain everything that went wrong. Many time I was going to just go somewhere else. But I kept believing the promise and I had gotten so deep into this I didn’t want to start over. In the long run this cost me so much more. Plus my loan officer and Rickey seemed to have zero communication. I finally signed to close the loan that’s a total mess.

My wife and I came to Mr. Khamis in a complete panic. We're first time home buyers, and had no idea what we were doing. We went with a company recommended to us through an acquaintance and 5 weeks after going into a contract on a home we fell in love with, the loan company emailed my realtor in the middle of the night saying he couldn't get us the loan. Three weeks to closing and we were at square one. We were devastated. Mr. Khamis took us on and not only got us to closing EARLY, but every single person we worked with were very professional and friendly. I am 42 years old and have never been more impressed with a person or company as I am with Mr. Khamis. It's a FACT that if you want the best opportunity and experience going after that home you want... these people will not steer you wrong! I will never be able to express my thanks enough for everything they did for my family.

From our very first phone call with Ricky and Austin we felt comfortable and confident. Ricky’s team was very knowledgeable and help in every step of the way. My wife and I are grateful for all the time, energy and care that was put into our home buying process.

Ricky and his staff worked very hard on processing our loan. During this unusual time, with COVID 19 social distancing, and unpresented sales, and six months of diligence, the HOME came to fruition.

Ricky and his staff at Amerifirst were very accommodating and easily reached. Within 10 to 15 minutes, I received an email or a phone call with a response. I was given very clear instructions and knew exactly what was expected of me in order to achieve our goals. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Their communication between the Title Company, the Realtor and other agencies, was also very productive.

I would highly recommend Ricky and his staff at Amerifirst.

Ricky and his team went above and beyond to make sure my first home purchase went smoothly. I was relocating from another state and they made sure to make themselves available for all of my questions and exercised patience with my thousands of questions. They really made me feel comfortable with my decision and we’re very flexible with making it all come together.

When all the other lenders said no!, Ricky Khamis said "we can do this!" I had been turned down for one reason or another from a few different lenders. My situation was challenging. I was on the verge of giving up but Ricky, along with his partners restored my faith in the lending process. He kept me informed of what was happening in the process and was always honest and up front. He was so reassuring I honestly thought he was pulling my leg! I was wrong. He did exactly what he said he was going to do. He succeeded and getting my loan closed, when others failed. I will definitely use him again for any future lending needs I have.

Ricky put together a package of 2 loans as he had promised to allow us to close on our new home. Despite some barriers from the second lender and some computer failures, we got it done, but a day delayed. Special shout out to Jordan for positive attitude and excellent service.

The Ricky Khamis team was wonderful. Throughout the refinance process, the communication was excellent. I was immediately locked into a very low interest rate as promised. I had a great experience and highly recommend Mr. Khamis for your financial needs.

We had a unique situation in where it took us longer than normal to sell and purchase a new home. Ricky and his team were great from the start and stayed engaged the entire time. When it was time to close Ricky and his team stepped up and wrapped things up in a timely manner. Thanks Ricky...

Ricky and his team killed it and made my wife and I’s first home buying experience a memorable one. He even warned us saying there’s gonna be some bumps along the way but I promise you, that everything will be ok and I will get you into your house! He was right! COVID hit and him and his team didn’t let anything in the way of us getting our house. November 3rd we got our closing date of November 20th and him and his team got everything done within 18 days and got us funded and closed that Friday! I can’t tell you how hard they work to ensure they make their customers happy. I highly recommend Ricky and I have referred everyone I know to him because of how truly amazing he is! He knows his stuff and tells you how it is and is extremely up front about everything!

We put off refinancing our home for months because we didn’t want to deal with the headache... if we would have known that working with the Khamis team would be this easy we would have done it much sooner! Thank you Ricky and team for making the refi process easy and headache free.
