"Zach Griffin is the best in the business. As first time homebuyers, we didn't know exactly what to expect when securing the mortgage for our first home. Zach made the process so easy for us and was extremely patient walking us through all of the necessary document submissions. He also worked so diligently to secure the best mortgage rate around. We can't thank Zach and his team enough for all the work they did on our behalf. We will go back to Zach in a heartbeat for any future home mortgage needs. Thanks Zach!"

"Zach was wonderful, knowledgeable, and patient with my client who was managing the administration of a trust after his father passed away. Zach helped him secure a loan so my client could remain in the family home where he had lived his entire life. During a lengthy and challenging process, Zach was always there to help, attend informational meetings, and guide my client throughout the process. I recommend Zach enthusiastically and without reservation."

"Zach was recommended to us by our realtor and we're so happy we went with his recommendation.  This was our third time obtaining a mortgage loan and it was by far the best experience. Zach was there every step of the way answering my questions with very clear explanations and was always available and quick to respond.  He stayed on top of our loan process and guided us through with ease.  I would highly recommend Zach, not only for great customer service, but also for the best rates around.  We could not have gotten the rate we obtained with Zach anywhere else."

"Really enjoyed and appreciated working with Zach on my first ever home loan. I had a lot of questions and he took the time to answer them in great detail. He provided advice and was prescriptive on what he felt were the best options. Easy to get ahold of and very responsive. You will be taken care of when you work with Zach."
