"Our experience getting a home loan with the school's first credit union was fantastic!

"Before the FirstTeam, my partner and I had a bad experience with our previous realtor/loan processor. We were apprehensive about being assigned someone we didn't vet but thought we'd give it a try trusting schools first and the established program with the FirstTeam. After a couple of phone calls with Hal and Amir and viewing our first potential home we knew this time was different it felt like a perfect fit from day one. Amir was knowledgeable available understanding and most importantly kind throughout the process. We went through the ups and downs of home viewing/offer submissions with Amir and he was always reassuring and positive and made our home-buying experience one we'll never forget. We couldn't have asked for a better agent. On the loan side, we felt like Hal had our back from day one. Speaking with him and getting our questions answered was easy and organic. However, once we were in escrow and began working with the loan processor communication declined and there were multiple instances where my partner who is also a borrower was not included in a few important emails even after requesting him to include her. Communication on required documentation wasn't as clear as we'd hoped at that point and the processor was difficult to reach via phone. We later confirmed that Samy's number was outdated in his email signature but it was hard to get there. We did have a positive interaction with another loan processor who helped answer some initial questions when we were unable to reach Samy unfortunately we do not recall her name. These reasons are why we selected "okay" on question #6. Overall we are grateful for the support and guidance we received from first-team and schoolsfirst and would do it again and recommend them both."

"My wife and I had an amazing experience working with Amir. We were very impressed when he set up 4 houses for us to see within the first few hours of working with him. Throughout the entire process, Amir was always quick to respond to every question we had. During the escrow process, Amir was very helpful in setting up several inspections from contractors and helped us understand each one of the reports. I would recommend Amir to any of our friends and family. We hope to work with him again if we have the opportunity to purchase another home in the future! Thanks!"

"A few months ago I hesitatingly signed up for Schoolfirst's home-buying portal and received an enthusiastic call from Amir Shahbaz the day after. I was very nervous about the idea of even looking for homes for sale but Amir's positivity and patience put me at ease and got me excited (for the first time ever!) With the idea of buying a home. After I made an offer that was accepted Amir guided me through every step of the way during the home purchase by calling me to review every major document before signing. He made the process so much easier than I ever thought it would be and I don't think I could have found a better agent elsewhere. I am very happy in my new home but I know I'd turn to Amir again if I wanted to move!"

"Amir was such a wonderful agent for our first time buying our first home. There were a lot of nuances that we did not understand during the process but Amir provided us with valuable information and helped us understand the process well. Amir was available 100% of the time during our time of confusion and uncertainty and helped walk us through every step. He was easy to communicate with and discuss our needs. Amir also took his time to go down to the Orange County process to gather some information for us when we were busy with work. He also helped us during our investigation and got people out to help us with our home. Amir is such a wonderful agent to work with and I would recommend him to anyone that is looking to purchase a home. I would love to work with Amir again."
