I previously refinanced with another company before working with Julio at amerifirst, and could honestly say that I wished I had just gone straight to you first! They were able to complete my refi within 2 weeks, and quite frankly it would have been so much quicker if I was a bit more computer savvy! Hence, I have nicknamed Julio as, “speedy” as he is lightning fast in getting things done. Julio and the team we’re patient, responsive, and answered every question I had about the re-fi process. You guys have been the best! 5 star rating all around, and I am so so happy with my interest rate! I highly recommend Amerifirst to all my friends and family!

We started trying to refinance our house with Wells Fargo but the process was very tedious and slow, it took more than two months to try to refinance. In addition, we were informed that the refinance would take longer. Our real state recommend us Mr. Zapata and we decided to cancel with Wells Fargo and start refinancing our house with Mr. Zapata. We are an investors and we have the knowledge of the process of a refining or purchase real estate. Mr. Zapata finished the refinancing of our home in one month with a lower interest and without any problems. From now on, all our financing or refinancing will be with Mr. Zapata.

This was hands down the most streamlined house buying process I have ever had. I’ve bought a few homes over the years, but by far Julio Zapata has stood out amongst the other lenders I’ve done business with. Julio guided me every step of the way and constantly kept me updated. I would totally recommend Julio to all my friends, family and acquaintances. Thank you for everything you did for my family and I.

Julio is an excellent lender. I have used Julio many times over the years and will continue to keep using him as often as possible. What I love the most is that Julio treats my clients awesome and walks them through each step of the process. My clients love the fact that if they have any questions or concerns they can ask Julio and he will explain or help them get what they need. Julio also keeps me up to date through the whole process with my clients so I can keep the other agent and title informed. I love that I don't have to call to get updates all the time and wait for responses. I've worked with many lenders through my years of real estate and Julio is definately my lender of choice and I will continue to spread the word about how awesome he is.

Julio did a wonderful job providing excellent service for a refinance and a new VA loan at the same time. He helped make things run smoothly, was always on top of any changes, and was very knowledgeable and helpful during the whole process. He answered any questions in a very timely manner. He always returned calls, emails and/or texts quickly.

We appreciated all his help and will use his services again in the future.
