“We recently closed on a home in Arizona with AmeriFirst. From beginning to end we had daily contact and instant access to status updates. It was a great feeling to have knowledgeable contacts so accessible to us since are in Illinois and have never made a purchase long distance. Everyone in the office that we dealt with was reassuring and informative. We had a 5 star experience!”

Rhett and Team:
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for assisting us in obtaining financing to purchase our retirement dream home.  From the very first phone call to the last one I was extremely happy with the friendly and professional handling of our loan.  I was pleasantly surprised at how simple the process turned out to be!   You made the whole process a painless one, and I would not hesitate to refer friends or family to AmeriFirst for any future lending needs.  If anyone would like to contact me for a referral, please feel free to share my cell phone number or this email address.

 

Thank you, again, for everything you and Sophia did to make our dream a reality!

Thank you to everyone again 

My husband and I recently purchased a home with the help and guidance of our AmeriFirst Mortgage Adviser, Rhett Laufenburger, and his wonderful assistant, Sophia Miller.

This journey was not easy, but we learned so much in the process. From the very beginning, Rhett gave us some very sound advice that helped us in achieving our goal of buying our dream home. I recently told Rhett that he is my personal “Dave Ramsey”. A light bulb went off the day that Rhett explained that if we worked on paying our credit card debt down, we wouldn’t need as high of a down payment. We took his advice to heart and started paying everything off. If was a hard pill to swallow at first, seeing how much debt we had accrued, and how much we had to payoff, but the joy of seeing zero balances again was truly liberating! We are also no longer carrying credit cards with us to avoid future temptation.

Once we had the majority of everything paid off, we were able to proceed with buying our house.  Rhett and Sophia held our hand throughout the process, and made it clear that they had our best interest at heart.  They too wanted to see our dream come true, and we’re happy to report that it did!

Rhett and Sophia, we can’t thank you enough for all that you did for us.

Sincerely,

Rick and Ingred

Sophia and Rhett,
Thank you so very much for your professionalism and competency!  Tim is thrilled with his new home and we didn’t even have on hiccup along the way.  This is how I like to do business!  You’re my go-to lender from now on.

Please pop some business cards and any marketing material you may have in the mail to me.
If you are interested in being a partner in our marketing, let me know. Jen Meehl and I were included in the top 10 producers last year at HomeSmart. (HomeSmart has over 4000 agents) So we work very hard to keep our market share.  We’re very blessed to work the Active adult market and we love it!  We have great clients.  Our focus is Corte Bella, but sell in all the adult communities in the NW valley.

I look forward to our next transaction!

We are now fully unpacked and reasonably organized…..finally with TV/Telephone/Internet service.

We wish to Thank You for the ease of arrangements for purchasing this home – never did we think remote all could be handled so well.  Should we learn of anyone needing such service we will definitely recommend they contact you. Keith and Nacy

Following up from our conversation and successful COE last week, I wanted to thank you, Sophia and your entire team for all the professional, proactive, 1st class work you all did during the entire process from the word go.

Your group is head and shoulders above every other lender I have encountered during my real estate career. Obviously the system you have in place, as well as having the right people make it happen and provide a peace of mind for Real Estate professionals and our mutual clients.

I certainly will continue to  direct and encourage every possible Buyer I work with moving forward to highly consider utilizing you and your group for their financing requirements.

I also will encourage other Real Estate professionals to do their due diligence on AmeriFirst and consider working with you.

I’m a big fan,

Scott Lavery

What a great team!  Terry and I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us.  Don’t think we didn’t notice.  Thanks also for “hanging in there” with all of our questions and concerns.  When you get to be our age, you will know how much that means. We will definitely refer you whenever we can.  You can count on us. Have a great day.  And once again—thank you

I wanted to thank Rhett and the BuyorRefi team for helping me through my entire home purchase. Every question I had, Rhett answered and gave me the best possible advice for moving forward. He made my first time home buying experience amazing and can see why he came so highly recommended. I have recommend Rhett to anyone I know buying a home.

Rhett and BuyorRefi Bill and I want to thank you for such an awesome experience. Buying property can be very intimidating, especially if it’s buying something out of town/state, but you made it fun. Yes, I said FUN!! From start to finish you were in touch with us and held our hands the entire way. We would recommend you and your staff to anyone that might be considering buying property in your area.

Thanks to everyone that worked on our application.

I always enjoy compliments from my clients and I always hate when the sale is over because I don’t have them around and I miss my clients.  A lot of them have become friends. I treat them the way I want to be treated.

I just want to say that this whole experience with you and Scott has been absolutely terrific.  You know what you’re doing, you made it easy for me and you always answer the phone and e-mails.  You are right on with customer service.  I will definitely refer you and I’m so glad I picked you to handle my personal loan.  You have far exceeded my expectations.

Sincerely,

Brenda Howe, REALTOR, ABR, CRS, SRES, MSSC, CNE Long Realty West Valley

Kathy and I would like to commend you and your staff for the truly professional manner in which our recent home mortgage managed. From start to finish it was seamless, as agreed, on time, without surprises and within terms originally agreed to.

In these days of chaos and confusion in the mortgage area your lines of communication were superb and when a problem arose you had a solution. Again thank you and Sophia for making our new home purchase so pleasant.

Scott and Kathy Crenshaw

I just want to take a second to say Thank You!!! You guys were amazing and definitely helped make my first time buying a home a very easy and enjoyable experience. I will gladly recommend you to any friends and family members looking to buy a house. Again, thank you so much for everything!!

As scary as it may be to purchase a new home, Rhett Laufenburger made it a fun and exciting process. He gets the job done quickly and in an efficient manner. He is excellent at communicating and is an all around fun and wonderful guy. I would recommend him to anyone!

Rhett: I won’t make this too long although I could go on and on about what a great experience I’ve had with you and your assistant Sophia purchasing my new home. This is my 15th or so real estate transaction and it was, by far, the easiest one even in these very difficult times. You were honest and amazingly accurate in estimating my costs. You did exactly what you said you would do – there were no surprises and I find that incredible. 
 
I abhor business people who are too busy to answer the phone or return calls or emails promptly. You and Sophia are exceptional: it did not matter when I called or emailed, someone was back to me almost immediately, even on the weekends. Astonishing customer service! You took such good care of me from start to finish — every aspect of this process was seamless and a pleasure! Can you imagine saying that about a mortgage company! Thank you so much and I will be back!

Dear Friend,
 
Hi my name is Denise Banks; I am a 54 yr old African American woman, who just happens to be a first time home buyer! As a matter of fact, I am the first in my family to buy a home. I would never have thought in a million years that this dream would ever come true, but it has, and I owe it all too a few things in my life:
 
God all mighty
A first time home buyer seminar in Surprise, AZ
Rhett Laufenburger ( the speaker at the seminar)
 
To make a long story short, while reading through the Sunday paper, I ran across an article about a first time home buyer seminar that was being held in the city of Surprise. It was free, and I thought “why not, it’s not costing me anything, just time.” Well, I went to that seminar and it was one of the best things that have happened to me in a long time. The Mortgage Advisor, Rhett Laufenburger, gave me information on the credit report and buying a home. The seminar was inspirational! I called Rhett the following day and told him I was tired of renting and wanted to buy a house. His reply was “ok let’s make this happen for you Denise.” Needless to say there was a small obstacle along the way with people losing their jobs and the cut back in hours, but Rhett never gave up on my dream. Rhett helped me close on my first home May 17. Thank You Rhett for believing and never giving up, you are a Godsend.
 
P.S. Go Giants
 
Sincerely, your client and friend
