Excellent Service, Great Rates
Richard gave us an excellent service and guided us through the process every step of the way. In addition, he gave us the most competitive rates in the market. We were able to close at the scheduled date with no hiccups. I would definitely recommend Richard in the future.

Best rates, best customer service
American Federal Mortgage had utterly unbeatable rates and fees for conventional mortgages even when compared to other online lenders, and certainly when compared to local lenders. I had multiple lenders both online and local that said they simply couldn't match the rate...

Most honest Lender / Best rates out there
Brian was so amazing to deal with. He was honest from the beginning all the way to the end of our transaction. I have excellent credit and he beat out the credit unions and big banks for rate and fees. I'm not going to lie that at first I was skeptical, but Ryan made me feel at ease and I'm so glad...

Excellent Service, Great Rates
We closed on our refi loan December 2025 with a 4.5% interest rate. It was a pleasure working with loan officer, Alexandria Matatrejo and loan guide, Caroline Cherry with American Federal mortgage company. The whole process was very simple and I would recommend this company for all your home mortgage needs.

Brian Snipp and his team did an outstanding job handling my home refinancing! The process was seamless, communication was excellent, and they secured a fantastic rate for me. Highly professional and efficient. I couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend them to anyone needing mortgage assistance.
