About Family First Mortgage
To Chris Chustz, family is everything, but family for him takes on a wider meaning than most. He is the face of Family First Mortgage, founder and owner since 2004. He lives here in Lafayette with his four children and wife, Angelle; he is proud to call this community home.
“Family is our mission. We want to reach people and make an impact in their lives. We are here to help clients achieve their dreams,” says Chris. He explains that it's his goal is to reach the community in any positive way. He wants Family First Mortgage to become a beacon of light for Acadiana, starting with faith in God and Family. Helping people to finance their dreams is just the beginning. Chris has taken the name Family First and extended it to mean community as well. “We want every customer to feel connected and comfortable with our process. This isn't just about finance for them or for us. It's deeply personal and we want them to feel like family.”
It's obvious to anyone who walks through the doors at Family First, that this experience will be like no other in Acadiana. Chris leads his entire Family First team by example, often reminding them to LEAD.
