KALAMAZOO, MI (February 18, 2022) - Amerifirst Home Mortgage has once again been named a top producing lender in the state of Michigan by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).
This marks the eighth consecutive year that MSHDA has recognized the independent mortgage lender for its achievements in helping homebuyers overcome down payment obstacles and begin their journey to homeownership. Amerifirst partners with MSHDA to provide low-interest home loans, payment assistance programs, and federal tax credits to eligible Michigan residents.
Amerifirst ranks #5 out of the 10 top producing MSHDA lenders in Michigan for 2021, the same spot it held in 2020. In 2016, it was named the #1 producing MSHDA lender.
Five individual Amerifirst loan officers were recognized by MSHDA as Top Producers for 2021. Top Loan Officer status is determined by annual mortgage production per region. They are:
|
Port Huron |
Battle Creek |
Kalamazoo |

Greater Lansing Region |

"Down payment assistance programs can be a great resource if you’re buying your first home and you have limited access to cash,” said Carin Andersson, a top producing lender in MSHDA's Northern Region. “This program opens a lot of doors for buyers who otherwise don’t have the ability to save for a down payment or closing costs.”
MSHDA released a Homeownership Special Announcement on Feb. 15 naming the top ten Michigan lenders that states, "MSHDA would like to thank all the participating lenders who utilize MSHDA’s Homeownership programs to assist Michigan families. Your commitment to affordable housing is the reason so many Michigan families have had the dream of homeownership become a reality."
Amerifirst also holds the #3 spot as a MSHDA Mortgage Credit Certificate Issuing Lender for 2021. This program allows borrowers to credit 20% of their mortgage interest each year on federal taxes for the life of their mortgage.
