Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not on Facebook. What do I do?
It's okay. All you need to do is set up a personal Facebook account - even if you don't plan to use it much. As far as we're concerned you can set up an account and use it only when you have to to access your Facebook Business Page. To set up a new account, click the button.
I already have a Facebook business page. Will this replace it? Can I keep my "likes" or move them to the new page? Can you auto post to my current page?
Whew! That's a lot of questions.
If you already have a business page, you can keep it if you wish. That said, you may not want to longterm because then you will have to manage 2 pages and worry about when and where to post your content. In most cases once you get this AmeriFirst page up and running you won't need your old page.
Unfortunately you cannot keep your "likes" because they will not move to this new page. This is perhaps the biggest drawback of starting fresh, but we believe that the ability to have content posted in your behalf - not to mention the SEO that will be done - will more than make up for it. Keep in mind that this is also part of the reason that all "likes" on your page each month will be entered to win an iPad. As we roll out your pages, we will share an email campaign and show you how to build your "likes" back up.
We can only autopost to the new Facebook pages. Autoposting is done through an independent app that is tied only to AmeriFirst Facebook business pages.

Does it matter what email address I use on my Facebook page for people to contact me?
Yes. This may or may not be the email address you use for your Facebook login. The important things to remember when you are choosing what address to use on your page are that (A) this is the email address that agents and consumers will use to connect with you, and (B) this is the email address that will receive notifications of any leads that are generated through your page.
I have an AmeriFirst/Encompass website. How do I find my URL?
Go to your encompass website. It is generally the your AmeriFirstLogin.amerifirst.us. For me it would be www.tcummins.amerifirst.us - if I had an encompass page, that is. ;-)

What is Nestablish and why do I want it?
Provide instant pre-qualifications to real estate agents without doing a thing. Nestablish was created to facilitate the pre-qualification process between loan officers and real estate agents. Agents typically want a pre-qualification letter or loan status report for the exact amount of their offer. Frequently, this can come at an inconvenient time such as over the weekend or late at night, and a single transaction may require the generation of three, four, or more pre-qualifications before an offer is accepted. Now you can finally eliminate these inconvenient calls—agents will be able to generate custom offers based on the parameters you set.
