I couldn't ask for a better Loan Specialist like Julio. He is very helpful and gets to the point. He is a true professional and a bit of a workaholic, I think, lol. Julio returns calls, emails, and/or text in a timely manner to answer all your questions. Thank you Julio and keep up the great work!

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.

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.

I've owned my first home for a few years now. I received an offer from my mortgage company for a refinance. Per a recommendation from my family I contacted Julio to see if he could beat the offer. He not only beat the offer but created a very smooth and painless refinance process. Thank you Julio!

Accounting Specialist
I am a first time home buyer and I couldn't have asked for a better Team to assist me in what could have been a very stressful time.

Julio was very informative and answered any questions I had. He took the time to explain things in a way that didn't sound so confusing. He walked me through certain situations and scenarios and made my experience so much simpler and smoother than I had expected it to be. I gave him the date I wanted/needed to move out and he assisted me in every way possible to make the move happen on time and even kept in touch asking how things were going.

I have already recommended him to two family member and a friend. I have more family looking to move and I wouldn't even hesitate to hand them his information.

I am grateful to have had such a knowledgeable Team by my side to assist me in such a monumental moment in my life.

HR Senior Consultant
This is the second time I used Julio Zapata for my mortgage. Both times, he did an outstanding job at keeping me well informed and communicating everything throughout the process efficiently and timely. He is knowledgeable regarding all mortgage programs and I view him as a trusted adviser. Julio recently reached out to me for a refinance on a purchase from last year and he continued to be responsive and informative. I recently closed on my refinance and I have him to thank in not only saving me money but providing my worry and hassle free service. I couldn't think of using anyone else. Julio is and will be my mortgage guy.
