Tara Bianco Krieg

Senior Mortgage Loan Officer AmeriFirst Financial, Inc. NMLS 215386 | AZ LIC 0912750
It may seem strange for a Senior Loan Officer with Amerifirst Financial Inc. to suggest that my primary job is to listen, but it’s true. My commitment to personalized customer service starts by fully understanding your specific needs and individual situation. This is not a job where ‘one-size-fits-all’.

I’m passionate about helping others achieve their dream of home ownership; I truly love what I do because it gives me the opportunity assist my clients in all the areas of their life that affect credit and finance. From credit education, to budgeting, to overall mortgage planning – I need to understand your personal situation before I can help provide a solution – and that’s why listening is step one.

My approach includes an evaluation of the big picture – your overall financial situation; I then build a mortgage plan that complements your goals. Whether you’re purchasing or refinancing the home of your dreams, my objective is to structure a mortgage finance plan that lowers costs and saves you money over the long term. With a full menu of loan programs to work from, I can tailor loans and services to meet your needs while providing you with the best possible customer service in the industry.

Licensed to provide mortgages and loan programs for home owners and buyers within Arizona, I have over 12 years’ experience in all aspects of real estate finance, real estate investing, mortgage planning, and business planning. My specialties include loan origination, credit education, mortgage related financial consulting and planning, and personal coaching of Junior Loan Officers.

I’ve found that my broad experience is very beneficial to clients when discussing all aspects of their finances. Prior to joining the mortgage industry exclusively ten years ago, I worked in credit card services (from collections to customer service) and in retail banking. My previous role was a management position at Washington Mutual.

Most people in the beginning find themselves anxious about finding the right lender to match your needs. With the support my realtor, I was introduced to Tara. Tara was prompt in prequalifying me, and the fast turn around time with providing the lender with a the required documents, allowed me to close on my home in a short period of time. The staff were all a great value to helping me identifying required documents through an easy friendly portal. I highly recommend Tara, for your lending mortgage needs!

I'm very happy to write this recommendation for Tara Krieg.
I began working with her in June/July concerning a pre-approval for a loan.
She was very helpful and informative concerning all the paperwork I needed to gather.
She was always prompt to return calls and answer my seemingly endless number of questions! As a widow, this was my first time doing anything like this on my own and Tara was wonderful, and so very helpful throughout the whole loan process and during the eventual purchase of my home.
I would highly recommend Tara.

All of the people that worked with me from AmeriFirst were just great, as well.
Tara Arreguin deserves a special 'Thank You' for all her assistance, as well!

We tried to get financing with another company, but they weren’t able to help us. They didn’t seem to care either. Tara and her team worked really hard and got us excellent financing and we got a beautiful new home! I’d recommend her to anyone who wants hassle-free financing.
