David was awesome to work with, we started our journey over 18 mos ago when we were trying to decide whether to get a loan to improve rental properties or our primary residence.

Fred and Nicole at American Family Funding were amazingly thorough and responsive to all the questions and uncertainties of our first home buying experience. I felt that Fred was patient and supportive in explaining all of the options within the complex process of buying a house and he was willing to repeat things, that I didn't understand the first time, without causing me to feel pressured or overwhelmed. These guys rock! And I will definitely call AFF again if I ever need to buy another house.

I just completed a mortgage refinance with Patti Handy from American Family Funding and I was extremely pleased with her knowledge and friendly and professional service. It was a complicated transaction that required some extensive paperwork and she explained what was need and why and helped me whenever I needed assistance with a positive and upbeat attitude. The processors and underwriting all worked well together and she uses an escrow officer that is outstanding too! A really great experience and we f

Tom Pflaumer is the best there is! He helped us every step of the way in buying our first home. We have been in the home buying process for three years trying to find our perfect home and he stuck it out with us the entire time being patient, giving guidance and mentoring us through the whole process. He is very professional and is as honest as they come. He made us feel comfortable with our purchase by constantly crunching numbers for us for different scenarios so we can get the best deal. He's one of a ki

There are many choices when it comes to home loans and refinancing, however, when you are looking for a broker look no further as American Family Funding is amazing.

American Family Funding just helped us through the re-fi process on our home after being told by our previous mortgage company that we would not be eligible to obtain a re-fi due employment and financial challenges caused by Covid. Fred Arnold thought different, and he and his staff at American Family Funding walked us thru every step of the process with kindness, precision and ease...can't say enough good things about every single member of their operation. Great attitude and a desire to serve people beg

Fred and his whole team were amazing in completing our refinance. I appreciate all the hard work they put into assisting us and making sure that everything was covered and ALL of my questions were answered (yes, I had a lot). I appreciate them and will be referring to them in the future.

This is my second time refinancing my mortgage with David Cantrell and American Family Funding. Their customer service and communication is outstanding and David was able to find a great rate to help me meet my financial goals. The AFF staff and the escrow company made it secure and easy for me to upload my documents, provide e-signatures, and even the in person notarizing of my final documents was handled safely and securely. I highly recommend their services.

We had a great experience working with David Cantrell and staff. The process from the first phone call to David regarding a refinancing loan, to the offer made regarding the Loan amount and the Interest rate, and the Escrow Closing was easy and convenient. We highly recommend American Family Funding.

Tom and The American Family Funding team were phenomenal with acquiring my wife and I our new home loan. Interest rates and fees were very comparable to the big banks and other lenders, and I knew being self-employed the possibilities were apparent of our loan not panning out, but they went the extra mile working diligently to explain the unique circumstances not always defined in financial paperwork. This is not my first experience with the American Family Team, and if my plans ever change from this being

David was great to work with in helping us close on both of our homes. He was extremely polite, professional, highly responsive and instilled a sense of poise in helping us get to the finish line which was key! I highly recommend David and the rest of the team - Thanks again! Mike

Lauren was amazing in helping us with refinancing our home!

Jake is professional, kind and extremely helpful. This was a process out of my comfort zone and Jake made it a positive experience in every way. He went out of his way to assist and accommodate us as we have a very busy work schedule. Jake is the best he was encouraging ,supportive and helpful through this process. I highly recommend him. He is AWESOME!!!

Dave Barton and Mountain West Mortgage are the best of the best. Dave helped us with our first mortgage 15 years ago and just helped us with our mortgage on our dream home. Dave treated us as friends from our first meeting. We felt like he was personally invested in getting us the best rate and giving us the best service. We cannot say enough how grateful we are for all that he has done for us.

Started a new Job and business 5 months ago and Fred help me refinance. It was smooth, quick and he got me a great rate, with an awesome lender. No one could have done it better. Thanks Fred!!

We first worked with Fred Arnold over thirty years ago! He and his staff have alway provided exceptional service. Without a single exception, they are all knowledgeable, professional, and helpful!

American Family Funding is great to work with. I've been working with them for the past 12 years and they are always professional and get the job done! I've referred them to numerous acquaintances who have also had great experiences!

I am a first time home buyer. Rhona Jukes and her team were fantastic. Rhona went above and beyond my expectations. The process was very smooth and painless. Words cannot express my gratitude. Rhona was knowledgeable, supportive, accommodating, warm, and welcoming. I will definitely recommend Rhona and her team to friends and family. Thank you Rhona and American Family Funding!

Fred and his team were the best. He was recommended by a friend and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him myself. The loan process was smooth and quick.

Rhona and the team at American Family Funding were the best we could have asked for. Rhona is very caring, professional, patient, and thorough, and made our process a lot less stressful. I highly recommend Rhona and her colleagues.

You won't regret working with Rhona!

It was a pleasure working with American Family Funding and Fred Arnold. Got a great and lowered our last refi by 1%. They were fast, efficient and easy to work with. I would recommend them, actually I have to several friends. Thanks again.

David Cantrell is the best loan agent I have had in over 33 years of mortgage loans and multiple properties. And trust me, if he was not good, I would be the first one to complain about him. After a nightmare mortgage loan process with a major bank that was taking 4 months, I turned to David and American Family Funding and he completed my loan in a month with no drama or stress. I highly recommend David Cantrell and American Family Funding!

Fernando Gauna was amazing! As a first time home buyers my husband and I were nervous and didnt know what to expect, we had heard some horror stories. Fernando made himself available around the clock for questions or concerns. You can tell he has been doing this for years, he is so knowledgeable and put our best interest first! He personally walked us from start to finish with our loan, helped us compare our options, we couldn't be happier! We wont even consider working with anyone else for future needs. Th

David Cantrell was my loan agent and was great to work with. He answered all my questions and reassured me every step of the way. He ended up getting me a great interest rate and made the process easy overall. I would recommend him to anyone in need of these services.

David was terrific, expertly expediting our refi. He patiently fielded our many questions and guided us through the process. Working with David Cantrell was an excellent experience, highly recommend!

Fernando and American pacific mortgage are outstanding and professional organizations. They were great at communicating information and working explicitly with costumers. I would recommend them to everyone. The experience was exceptional.

Fred and his team are excellent to work with. They made a challenging process go smoothly and were very helpful at every step along the way. I highly recommend them.

My wife and I had a fantastic experience working with Patti and her team. I had originally started the re-fi process with 2 lenders, AFF and the other was one of the big banks. I ended up going with Patti since the big bank lender did not deliver when and what the committed to, Patti met all her commitments to us exceeding all expectations. I would highly recommend using Patti Handy and AFF!

Had a great experience with Fred helping us with not one but 2 loans simultaneously and meeting struck deadlines. Fred helped us tremendously and we are grateful for all his help and guidance!!!

It was the easiest, stress free loan experience either of us have EVER experienced! Fred and his staff we're a pleasure to work with. If all loans go like this, why would anybody go anywhere else?

Thank you Fred Arnold! This is our second Re-Fi with American Family Funding and Fred always makes sure he comes personally with the initial paperwork and walks us through the WHOLE process, who we will be hearing from, what comes next, etc. We would never go anywhere else, we always finish on time, and feel like we have been well taken care of. Thank you again!

I cannot say enough about American Family Funding and specifically, Tom Pflaumer. From the beginning of this process to the very end, my husband and I knew we were being taken care of by the very best. Tom Pflaumer is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and always has your best interests at heart. Tom and American Family Funding care about you and take the time to listen and understand your needs. They work hard towards helping you with your home loan needs, so if you are looking for where to go, THIS is wher

Truly an excellent experience. Fred is extremely professional and is always there for you to answer questions. I am very happy with how everything worked out with my loan.

Patti Handy is second to none. She is thorough, easily accessible, extremely knowledgeable and one of the most trustworthy and ethical people I know. I have worked with Patti for years as I am a real estate appraiser and realtor/broker. I also know many people who have used her services repeatedly for years. I trust her expertise and know that she would never steer me (or my clients) wrong in the financing aspect of real estate.

Jake Young?s kindness and professional assistance has made my worries about loans to go away?just like that??His good nature has made me to comeback on trusting the financial business world. Thanks very much, Jake, for keeping your good words on making the loan process as easy and prompt.??

Fernando and his team have been great. This is the second time that we have done business together and I am very satisfied. I would definitely recommend him to anybody I know that is looking for a mortgage.

Tom Pflaumer was recommended to us by our CPA. We reached out to Tom several years ago to refinance our house, but Tom was unable to help us at that time. We were upside down with respect to the value of our home. Tom never gave up, however. He kept in touch, watched home values, and worked with us until our home value, credit portfolio, etc., were aligned to enable us to work out a much more advantageous deal. We were able to pay off a second mortgage with a high interest rate and another account. Our ne

We just closed on our 2nd refinance with Fred Arnold. He made it so easy and painless. He's trustworthy, honest and truly looks at what's going to be best for your situation. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

After getting our offer accepted on our dream home, the seller?s agent told us ?you weren't the highest offer, but your lender was so responsive and helpful that the seller?s felt confident accepting your offer.? Thank you Fred and team!

First of all, our case was not your typical home buying case... it was a complicated 11 month probate process with a goal to purchase. There were so many chances of failure, but Vytas understood the situation very well and helped us every step of the way resulting in a successful life changing purchase of the new home. His expertise was exceptional!

I called American Family Funding based off the reviews. They must not really need business because I was told an agent would call me right back to discuss a home loan. I was never called back. I waited three days before writing this review.

David was very very nice and extremely helpful and easy to deal with. I just would?ve liked more communication without me having to initiate it. That being said , I would definitely use him again if the need arises.

Jake with AFF was the epitome of professionalism, patience, and friendliness. My loan needed a bit of special handling, and Jake was there to hand it off smoothly.

So many aspects of house buying can be stressful. I bought in Joshua Tree and am grateful that Jilyn was so helpful. She made the process very easy and was very informative every step of the way. She went above and beyond her job and I would definitely recommend going with Jilyn and American Family Funding for purchases in the high desert.

Rhona Jukes at AFF was fantastic. Met her at a mortgage "meet & greet" held at Matadors Community Credit Union in Northridge. We talked about our desire to re-fi in order to bring down the interest rate and get some cash out for home improvement. She worked with Matadors to get us an excellent rate! The paperwork process was smooth and well organized, and we were funded in about a month. Highly recommended.

Patti helped us with a refinance and, as always, did an amazing job! We have used her services for purchasing two homes in the last several years and trust her completely.

Hi Fred good evening. There is actually no words for us to describe how lucky, happy and fortunate we are to have you as our Loan Officer/Lender. You are so awesome and amazing person. We are trully blessed by your compassion, generosity, emphaty, kind hearted , understanding and very considerate person. Really thankful to you and to all of you in helping us out and made it possible for us to realize our dream home. Thank you very much Fred and we always thanked God for you and all of you. You were all wond

Fast, professional and reliable service. Vytas made the entire process run smoothly and I will definitely be using him and his team again in the future. I highly recommend working with Vytas Keblys and American Family Funding as they make the process extremely painless!

Rhona Jukes is a pro. She knows her stuff and handles problems in her low-key style. No stress and timing was excellent. My credit union recommended her, and thank god they were right.

My experience with refinancing was excellent. Very professional and attentive company. Fred Arnold puts forth a lot of personal attention to your needs. It was a seamless experience.

Jilyn and Schaffer are amazing!!! Definitely will be recommending them to my family and friends!!! Not only did they do everything possible to help out but alway kept me in the loop! Jilyn knows the ins and outs of her business. Thank you so much for all your help, time and dedication to the very end!!!! This Is definitely THE A-TEAM!!!!

David and his team were fantastic! They were incredibly helpful and the process was super easy. I got a fantastic rate, so very happy!

Fred and his team we're great to work with. There were no surprises and the loan funded on time. Highly recommended.

David made this process so easy for me. Trying to refinance my Mom's home was not the nightmare I envisioned. Everything worked out smoothly - if you need mortgage assistance, call David!

Tried going through them to get a loan and at first everything was great. We were told that we were approved for 200k and they just had to do the final numbers. Get a call the next day saying that after running the numbers we were only qualified for 160k. Well we were a little disappointed but started looking for home and once we found one we talked with the realtor who was helping. He told us we needed a couple final documents to close the loan deal. My sister sent them all the documents, cause the loan wo

Unfortunately, bad bad experience. Misquoted the amount I would need down. Ran me through the ringer for months and missed out on a beautiful investment property because of lack of experience? I had to call her out on things she should have known. Another loan officer for a different company was able to get me sorted out and on my way. Stay far away from this place if they employ these kinds of people. Out of respect for her I will not name her but I had to speak my peace because this really hurt my family'

Fred Arnold and his team of professional loan officers are top notch and their vision to help people is number one. They always help me when I need it, and willing to go the distance to find the best rates.

Fred was amazing! Cant say enough good things. He is kind and will get you the best rates.
