Home buyers with a mortgage loan through AmeriFirst Home Mortgage enjoy several benefits. One of them is local service. AmeriFirst retains servicing of its loans. We do not sell servicing to big banks. This means when you close with AmeriFirst Home Mortgage, you pay your mortgage to AmeriFirst. You can call us with questions and talk to the AmeriFirst Customer Care department. They're local, too. No call centers here.

One way to protect yourself is to make sure you're only dealing directly with your utility companies, rather than a third-party or random phone caller. A national association looking out for consumers has issued an alert about a scam across the country you should be aware of. This is especially important for a first time homeowner who may not have experience with utilities not connected to their rent.
