• Wow, Max blew us away!

  My hubs and I bought a downtown condo in Austin, and we thought it would be a nightmare, since we were new to the state and it was our very first home purchase. But Max helped make it a pleasant, easy, stress-free experience. We closed our deal in just under four weeks. Everything went according to plan when he said it would, as he said it would. No hidden fees or “gotchas” throughout the process. He was available right away (called us back the same day of our initial inquiry) and prompt to respond to all questions in the weeks that followed. In this market we heard nothing but problems about getting loans, but our experience was the opposite. Seriously, if you’re nervous about buying a home or have had a bad experience with a loan officer (or even if you haven’t!), give Max a try. He’ll help you buy your digs fast and without a hitch! xoxo,

• Great Experience. After wasting over a month with United Lending we went to Max based on the other Google reviews.

  He lived up to the hype. Everything went smooth AND we closed early. Unlike United Lending he knew exactly what was needed to get underwriter approval, and there were not any surprises. United Lending put us through the ringer making sunshine promises the entire time, only to pull the rug out on the day before our scheduled closing. It totally stressed us out and we almost lost the house completely even though we knew that we were well qualified and shouldn’t be having these problems. Then we switched to Max and our problems were over. Max even took the time to talk to the sellers to put their minds at ease. We love our new home. Max is the man and I highly recommend him.

  Gavin, Austin – April 25, 2012

• We were referred to Max by our realtor Paul Reddam.

  This being our first home buying experience, we wanted to shop around lenders to see what was available. Max and his team were very responsive and helpful throughout the process, as well as open to reviewing the other offers we received throughout the process. Max was always quick to respond and thoroughly explain the various line item costs and differences between all the quotes we received. At the end of the day, Max’s offer couldn’t be beat and his professional and timely service were also major plusses. Max was also helpful during the closing to further explain all the nuances that come with purchasing a home. I would definitely recommend him and his team.

  Ben C., Austin, Texas – April 25, 2012

• I used Max to get a $250,000 15-year fixed rate mortgage

  I used Max after running into problems with the brokerage house that I have all my investments at. I was pretty mind-boggled that the company that bank with and have all my assets with and has a decades long track record with me was not able to do business with me!I contacted Max and told home what my situation was. It’s a bit tricky, as I have mostly income from disability insurance and investments and I still own a house jointly with my former wife. I’m used to having to provide a lot of documentation and history because of my circumstances.I found Max to be extraordinarily responsive to questions and requests I had. I made sure I got him everything he asked for quickly and he worked to find an underwriter. In the end everything went off as planned, with a bit of a bonus surprise that my rate dropped on the last possible day it needed to be locked in. I will certainly go back to Max for future business and I have already recommended him to others for their mortgage needs.

  C.H., Austin, Texas – April 20, 2012

• Max is The Best…by far!

  My home buying situation was complicated by the fact I was getting a divorce about the same time as trying to buy a house. Timing was everything since I needed the divorce final before I could close. Max and his staff did the work all on the assumption the divorce would be finalized by a certain date with a subsequent closing within 4 days. So when the divorce was delayed by the county to the Friday after my scheduled closing, I thought this was going to cost me my house, earnest money and/or a higher interest rate. Somehow Max pulled it through….new closing date, prepared new paperwork and same interest rate. Very impressed with this guy!

  Suz J., Leander – April 20, 2012

• After starting the loan process with another lender, his fees were way higher than originally quoted (by a lot)…in a panic…

  I read the great reviews on yelp for Max, and gave him a call as I had only 30 days to close. I felt at ease the minute I talked to him, he stayed late and answered all my questions. Max got our loan closed and time, and was smooth sailing to closing. Being in the real estate industry in another state, coming here and not knowing who to trust….I am glad we went with Max. I can’t give him enough accolades…look no further…call Max Leaman.

  Michelle B., Austin, TX – April 20, 2012

• Mortgage Broker for house, condo, and investment condo.

  Max Leaman and his team at Primelending provide a great experience for getting a mortgage and I highly recommend them. I have gotten three mortgages through them, and as of the last one I even stopped getting competitive bids because Maxs GFE was always the best. They have the best rates, are highly responsive, but best of all they are fast and can keep to a tight closing schedule. My first experience with them I had three GFE\’s including one from my credit union. Of those three, Max had the best closing costs and was also the only of the three who could directly answer a question I had on FHA loans. He committed to a tight schedule and made it happen, even adjusting earlier because of a holiday. My second experience was a refinance for a small house. Even though the loan amount was small, I got the same professional service and, best of all, speed. My third experience was an investment condo and it was the same great experience.

  Nathan C., Repeat Client, Austin, TX – April 19, 2012

• I would be suspect of the legitimacy of anyone getting this many stellar reviews except that we just closed on our dream home

  Max/Prime Lending made it all possible. We actually were fortunate enough to have several mortgage lender options that had competitive terms but are very happy with our decision to use Max and Prime Lending. Max immediately responded to our inquiries throughout the entire process; notified us when it was a good time to lock our interest rate; called us to notify us when the rates dropped so we could take advantage of a lower rate;and was present during our closing to answer any questions. He is an easy person to work with and made the otherwise stressful occasion of purchasing a home seamless.

  Helen N., Houston, TX – April 4, 2012

• I recently closed my home with Max leanman and I should frankly say he is top notch.

  He answered all my emails and calls promptly . His closing costs was the cheapest. He has a option to float down your rate 20 days before closing but unfortunately I couldn’t get it to float down. Overall he is very easy to deal with and I would definitely recommend him to my friends.

  Prashanth M., Austin, TX – April 2, 2012

• We purchased a condo in Austin and our realtor (who was also FANTASTIC – Brendan Doherty at RealtyAustin) recommended Max for our loan.

  He handled our loan from start to finish. Max is very knowledgable and worked hard to get a complex deal done, even reaching out to the president of our new HOA when needed to get to close on time. He went above and beyond and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

  Katy D., Austin, TX – March 21, 2012

• Our realtor — Paul from Homesville Real Estate — promised us that Max s team could get us better rates and financing than the bank and credit union

  Max did just that! Plus he was great to work with and quick to answer all types of questions. My partner and I ended up in a great house that we didn t know we could afford — but can! Thanks!!

  Lara, Austin, TX – March 20, 2012

• I reached out to Max because of the great reviews, and initiated contact with him.

  Max began the process for me to see if I qualified to buy a home and gave me a quick and detailed response. Through out every step and with every question, Max responded immediately. It was a great experience and it felt like I was dealing with someone I had known for years.

  M.E., San Antonio, TX – March 19, 2012

• If I had to do it again, I would go back to Max.

  Although we were in different cities, he made the loan process as smooth as possible. There were no surprises at closing and even the title company was impressed with Max response time.

  Glenn P., Richmond, Texas – March 15, 2012

• Max did a terrific job handling the mortgage for our new home.

  Everything was done remotely from a different time zone, and the whole process was as smooth as could be. I certainly recommend Max to anyone looking to purchase a new home. Thanks!

  Adam U., Austin, TX – March 12, 2012

• My fiancé and I recently closed on a house, and it would not have been possible without Max Leaman’s expertise.

  As anyone knows who has done this before, buying a home is a long, and often times frustrating, process. Of course it’s fun, too, but how to find the perfect house that gives you a comfortable mortgage? Max was there during every step of the buying process with advise that saved us a ton of money. For example, at one crucial point during our search we were raring to buy a place that was just over our budget. It was a lovely house in a near-perfect location, but we would have seriously been stretching ourselves thin financially. Max crunched the numbers on the value and taxes, and he came back to us with a frank and honest opinion: too close for comfort. Even though PrimeLending would have approved us for the loan amount needed for this property, he wanted to be SURE we could afford the house. Max could have given us the green light, then counted his money and been done with it, but he took the time to explain again why this may not be the best fit, and likely saved us a lot of heartache. Being house poor is not the way to go. At the time it was a hard thing to hear, but he assured us we would find something better WITHIN our original budget, and by golly…he was right. Re the rest of our work together, this being my fiance and I’s first house buying experience, I’m sure we would be considered “high maintenance” by most. We had questions on an almost daily basis for months on end about this process, and Max’s response time via email, phone or text was consistently stellar. His team at Prime Lending was equally responsive and professional. They worked with us up until the last minute before closing. The loan funded on time and we stayed on budget. What more could you want out of a home mortgage lender. Really.

  Robin W., First-Time Homebuyers, Austin, TX – March 11, 2012

• My husband and I sold our house in Lockhart and needed to purchase a house in Round Rock fast.

  He and his team were awesome and helped us thru every step of the way! Max and his team are very patient and understanding. I will make sure to recommend Max to all my friends and family! Thank you Max and your wonderful team for all your help!

  Christina, Round Rock, TX – March 2, 2012

• I had gotten a few pre-approval letters including one from the lender my realtor recommended and one from Max and it was a good thing that I did.

  After a long search we found the house we wanted listed for exactly what was shown on our pre-approval letter and our offer was accepted. We were going to go with our realtor’s lender just because he was on site and had a working relationship with our realtor. A few days later I find out that the lender my realtor recommended had some problem with our underwriting and would only approve us for a loan $30k less than what they had originally pre-approved us for. Fortunately I had Max around and he was able to get us our loan and we were able to close on time. We got a good, not great rate but the fees were less than our realtor’s lender. Although we had to jump through some hoops which are the new normal in today’s tight lending environment, everyone at Prime lending was real nice and professional. I would definitely recommend Max.

  H.O., Sacramento, CA – February 24, 2012

• Max Leaman with PrimeLending is the BEST there is in the mortgage business.

  I cannot say enough wonderful things about Max Leaman. My husband and I did a much needed refinance, and Max made this the most quick and painless transaction ever!!! We would use Max again, and again. I am confident he got us the best rate that is out there. I will refer him to everyone I know, and more. Thanks Max!

  David and Kim W., Buda, TX – February 20, 2012

• I recently closed on a refi/home equity loan with Max Leaman.

  Before approaching Max, I had been trying to accomplish the same transaction with another mortgage broker, but the process was going nowhere, as I seemed to be encountering one road block after another. However, once I was introduced to Max, all of that changed. The entire process was flawless and easy and without stress. Max was quickly able to assess my situation and simply said, “We’ve go this and we are going to close in 30 days or less.” From that point on, I rested easy until attending the closing, again flawless and without surprises. I would highly recommend Max for any mortgage business anyone might be contemplating.

  Katy C., Austin, TX – February 19, 2012

• Where do I begin….Max Leaman is by far the king of his industry.

  My situation with my sister and brother in law was not a conventional one to say the least. My sister and brother in law lived in VA. He is Navy and they wanted to buy a house in Fort Worth. I had to be the eyes and ears here in TX. They started to go with Texas Lending and to put it mildly that turned out to be a nightmare. They were running out of time. So on a Sunday I started to do some research and I came across Max on Angie’s List. I called him on a Sunday and left a message. He called me right back. I was shocked to say the least that he called me back so quickly on his own time. I explained to him the horror story I had with the previous loan officer and Max picked up the pieces flawlessly. Today my sister and brother in law are here and in their new home. It didn’t matter that Max was in Austin, they in VA. and me in Fort Worth he worked on this loan as if we all were right there in Austin. I am in the industry myself so; I am not the easiest person to work with. I always give my best and I demand the best and that is what Max Leaman is, the best. I am sure he has hundreds of other loans but, every time I called or had a question he was right there. He treated me and my family like we were his only clients and to me that is pure talent. He is honest and never told us just what we wanted to hear. He puts not only his clients first but, his integrity as well. In this day and age that is hard to come by especially in a loan officer but, we definitely found that in Max. His staff is just as good. When it went to underwriting Janey was right there with us and walked us through the process. Janey is the sweetest most professional person (next to Max) I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I still today cannot wrap my head around how easy and smoothly the home buying process went with Max. He is number 1 in his industry for a reason. I will never go to another loan officer again with any real estate purchase. Thank you Max and thank you to your staff for providing the best service possible to my family, Max truly is the King of his industry.

  Sonja R., Fort Worth, TX – February 12, 2012

• Financed a loan for our family’s new home

  Max, Amy, Megan, Tiffany and the rest of the team got us from an offer to closing within about twenty days. They quickly helped us make decisions about how to proceed early on and then seemed to always be available as we got all the documentation and whatnot to set us up for final approval quickly. To top it all off Max even came to our closing, made sure we were all set to go and then was still available to answer a question I had well after the closing. We really enjoyed working with everyone and if I am ever again convinced to move, we’ll definitely call them!

  M.B., Austin, TX – January 30, 2012

• I worked with Max to purchase my first home and I would not hesitate to go back.

  He gave me a good rate and I felt comfortable working with him. After meeting him in person (he came to the closing), I felt like he had my best interests in mind.

  Allen Y., First-Time Homebuyer, Austin, TX – January 10, 2012

• Max is awesome! He made buying our dream house easy & stress free.

  He’s very easy to talk to. I was able to even text him day & evening with questions & he responded very promptly. Will definitely refer him to our friends.

  S.D., Austin, TX – January 15, 2012

• My husband and I had been trying to purchase a home for over 1 year, when I came across Max Leaman’s page at Prime Lending.

  He quickly got the process started in processing my loan request, and helped us to get approved to purchase a house. He was always available with any questions that I had, as this was my first time applying for a mortgage loan. We found our first home and closed this past November with Max’s help…we have recommended him to all of our friends and acquaintances that are looking to purchase a home!

  Samara R., Austin, Texas – January 15, 2012

• We were referred to Max and Prime Lending by friends who happened to use Prime Lending for their own home loan.

  Max and Amy took very good care of us and were always there with answers to our questions during the loan process. If you are in the market for a reputable lender, I would highly recommend their services.

  Gary S., Austin, TX – January 13, 2012

• My husband and I were looking to buy our first home.

  We had hesitations about going thru such a process. I had lunch with a friend who highly recommended Max Leaman’s office. I reached out to Max the very next day and from that phone call we were on our way to buying our first home. Max pre approved us within the same day and walked me thru the steps of buying a home. We made an appointment to meet in person in which I felt like he truly cared about us and understood how important this was for us. He was playful with my children in the office, patient with me and my husband and always informative of what’s to come. He did not string me along with false hopes or expectations. He gave me facts and accurate numbers, so accurate he came within about $50 of what he projected our monthly payments would be at the beginning! I have recommended him to everyone that has mentioned they were looking to buy a house and will continue to support his office. His team of professionals (Max, Amy and Janey) have nothing but good intentions and dedication to their clients. Give him a call if you want to own a home!

  Daesiry C., First-Time Homebuyers, Round Rock, Texas – January 13, 2012

• Max went FAR above and beyond in helping my husband and I get our house.

  He made things that seemed really confusing, understandable. We never would have made it without Max- he is on the buyer’s side! Big time!!!!

  Teal Z., Austin, TX – January 12, 2012

• I’m a compulsive online researcher, so when I bought my first home I spent a lot of time looking for lenders.

  After a week, I got quotes from four. Max gave me the best rate, closing costs, and loan flexibility compared to the other three quotes, so you can stop reading here if that’s enough for you. However, he was also extremely personable, enthusiastic, and seemed like he honestly wanted my business. That last part makes a huge difference to me, since I’ll happily walk away and pay more somewhere else if I don’t like the way I’m being treated. Some of the other lenders I went to acted like they were doing me a favor. Really? Thanks, but no thanks. Anyway, my experience with Max was the complete opposite. He often responded to a call or email in only a few minutes, and was always eager to answer any question I had. And I had a lot of questions All that is good, but what really impressed me was how he handled some adversity we ran into during the final round of negotiations with the seller. I won’t get into details, but there was a rule we missed when putting together closing costs and seller allowances. That little detail (that my agent didn’t catch either) would have increased my closing costs well beyond what we had originally talked about. Because it was something that he didn’t catch earlier, Max actually paid for the difference out of his own pocket!!! This was something he didn’t do because he had to, but because he felt responsible for the error. At that point in the game, it’s not like I could have gone somewhere else and still closed on time! Everything else happened without any problems. We closed on time, and Max even showed up at closing in case I had any more questions (I did). I’m pretty sure I would not have gotten the same treatment with the vast majority of other lenders out there, and I can’t think of the last time someone has impressed me like that. Thanks Max!

  T.W., Austin, Texas – January 11, 2012

• Max was amazing!

  I had been avoiding the refinance process for years because I thought it was going to be too much of an inconvenience. Finally, the rates had gotten so low that I decided to move on it. I gathered up the requested information sent it to Max’s staff one time. The docs at closing were identical to the estimates upfront. Overall, it was a great experience, and Max is super friendly. I highly recommend Max and his team.

  Kati V., Austin, Texas – January 11, 2012

• I am so happy we were referred to Max

  He and Amy were great to work with. Max made our home purchase go smoothly and answered all of our questions and concerns promptly. This was an overall great experience. I highly recommend Max Leaman!

  Aurora M., Austin – January 11, 2012

• Terrific and personal service

  In this high-tech, internet-oriented society, Max and his assistant Amy held our hands throughout the loan process. They actually made securing our loan a very simple, easy, and relatively painless process. Without question, we would not only use Max again ourselves, but would also not hesitate to recommend him to friends and business associates.

  David G., Austin, Texas – January 10, 2012

• 5 Stars

  As mentioned above, both Max and Amy did an excellent job for us. They answered all our questions quickly and honestly and made the entire process of purchasing a home as easy and seamless as possible. In fact, we felt Max went above and beyond our expectations at closing and went to bat for us when problems occurred at closing. We will definitely refer anyone in need of a reputable lending agent to Max or Amy at Prime Lending!

  L.D., Austin, Texas – January 6, 2012

• I had heard nothing but great things about Max Leaman and his team

  Totally professional and I was able to get a rate lower than both of my local credit unions. Additionally he was able to provide me with non-biased recommendations for all the other aspects including a housing inspector and someone that would check the foundation for FREE. Thanks so much to Max!

  Isabella S., Austin, Texas – January 4, 2012

• My fiance and I originally chose to meet with Max because the GFE he provided us with contained the least amount of junk fees by far

  We stuck with Max because he was professional, kind, helpful, and funny. And we’d use Max again because we had a great homebuying experience and I’m confident he got us the best mortgage deal we could get. Max made us feel like valued customers, unlike some of the other lenders we were considering working with. Whenever I asked him to explain something he did so thoroughly and without acting like it was an inconvenience (even if it was, haha!). He’s transparent and doesn’t give off a sleazy salesman-y vibe– something I was really looking for. Even after our mortgage closed, Max kept in touch and made it very easy to get in touch with him when we had questions. Plus, he came to our closing! If you’re looking for an honest, hardworking, smart and genuinely nice lender, call Max now!

  Carly W., Austin, Texas – January 2, 2012

• Best Lender in Austin

  My husband and I just recently bought our second house using Max and his team at Prime Lending. They are able to get all the paperwork done quickly, can tell you the closing date and he always tells all the fees upfront. They closed our house on a complicated VA loan on time with little back and forth with all the paperwork. Max and his team are great to work with and we will always buy every house with him as our mortgage broker! I recommend him to everyone looking for a mortgage… Thanks again Max and Amy!

  E.K., Austin, Texas – December 23, 2011

• 5 Stars

  Amy and Max did an Awesome job helping me Refinance my house. After being turned down twice by other lenders including my own mortgage company, not willing to work within the Homes Affordable refinance program. Amy and Max helped me get it done and helped me save almost $300/month. Thank you Amy and Max for your help and to the whole Leaman team!

  M.F., Austin, Texas – December 21, 2011

• Returned calls & emails very quickly

  Closed on time & overall it was a great experience. Max is a funny guy and was nice to work with on this investment purchase. I found him online through an article he had about investment property lending and he was much more informed on the process of investor lending for SFR than any of the other 4 or 5 folks I’d spoken to prior to him! We’ll be using him soon to close on many more investment homes!

  T.D., Austin, Texas – December 20, 2011

• I want the first line to read that we absolutely recommend you to use Max, Amy and their team at Prime Lending

  My husband and I were first time homebuyers and ended up finding them on Yelp. They had all positive reviews and I can understand why. We initially set up a time to meet with Amy to go over the basics of applying for a home mortgage. She was very patient and thorough to make sure we understood what we were getting ourselves into. We went over our credit scores, assets, and debts and how much house we wanted to buy. She ran several different options so we could see what our monthly commitment would be. Before we left, Amy encouraged us to send her the mls# of houses we liked and she could run the numbers for us. So as the house hunt adventure went on, we did just that.

  Jessica B., Austin, Texas – December 14, 2011

• Max is super

  I have been looking at purchasing a house for 3+ years. I was given names of highly recommended lenders/brokers. I have a highest credit score, but… regardless I have been turned down by all of them. It seemed to me that they were not interested at all. That is why I was desperate to find a real person like Max (not a dead duck like most of the lenders, sorry to say that, but I have been burnt by them). He is the type who would find a solution for any challenging situation- I really appreciate it because I am a similar person-I try to help people and not send them away. There got to be a solution to any problems, I believe. So yes, I would strongly recommend Max-he is the best!!!!!

  Saida K., Austin, Texas – December 1, 2011

• Great Services

  I worked with Amy in Max Leaman Austin Mortgage when I bought my property in October 2011. I have to say, Amy did a great job in getting my loan prepared for closing. I changed the closing dates back and forth because of some personal reasons, but Amy worked with me and I really appreciate all her help and good suggestions! I will recommend their service to anyone I know.

  Joy C., Austin, Texas – November 28, 2011

• 5 Stars

  I did my homework and got a bunch of good faith estimates from various lenders. Max was great during the process and told me he would work to beat any of the other offers and he did. I had a lot of questions for him during the lender selection process and he was timely, professional and always helpful. Even after we chose him as our lender, Max was always available for help. I would describe him as the epitome of professionalism. I’ve heard numerous stories of lenders screwing over friends during their closing process but Max was completely the opposite. He even gave us some bits of advice of things to look out for during closing and was extremely friendly. I’ve recommended him to every friend who is buying I have. You will regret not going with him.

  Gaurav P., Austin, Texas – November 22, 2011

• Max is a lender you can trust

  As a first time homebuyer, I knew next to nothing about the process of buying a home. After bad experiences with my first realtor and lendor, I naturally had skepticisms. I called Max for a second opinion after reading great reviews about him on Yelp – all those people are not wrong. Max was patient, transparent and fun to work with. His staff was responsive to my numerous questions. I no longer felt as if I was being ripped off by my lender, I felt as if I had a partner on my side. I would recommend Max to anyone buying a home. Plus, even now after the closing I feel comfortable asking him questions about stuff I’m getting in the mail and trust that he is the expert with my best interests in mind. He saved me from paying a scam company for my homestead filing. Max is seriously the best!

  Sierra P., Austin, Texas – November 4, 2011

• I’m so glad I went with Max Leaman as my lender

  This was my first time buying a house so I had countless questions on mortgages. Max and his team was (and still is) great about getting back to me with answers whether it’s via phone, email, or text. When I first emailed Max, he was out of town for a conference, but was still able to give me a call the same day to answer questions and set up an appointment. When I met Max, I didn’t feel pressured to commit to anything. He’s very personable; the kind of guy that makes you feel like you’ve been good buddies for quite some time. During the time I was shopping the mortgage market, Max would give me daily updates on the rates without me asking for them. After I had ‘locked in’ on a rate, I was still able to use the float-down option to secure an even lower rate.

  Sean P., Austin, Texas – October 10, 2011

• Max was fantastic to work with

  He has 5 stars out of 24 reviews, and trust me, that is no accident. He was helpful and answered all of our questions. He was upfront and honest with us, which is just what we needed as we were buying our first home. I would recommend Max to anyone without hesitation.

  Kathryn L., Leander, Texas – October 8, 2011

• I have to agree with all of the other reviews – Max was a wonderful mortgage broker

  I am usually a little cautious of Yelp reviews in general, but am SO GLAD we decided to trust our instinct and go with Max! This was our first home purchase, so we were starting from very little knowledge of the process. From the very beginning Max was very responsive and accommodating, fitting us in the day after we called. He walked us through the whole process and took time to explain all of the steps and what the fees would be. As others mention he is very upfront about fees and I would bet you his fees are much lower than other mortgage brokers. Max and his team got everything done very quickly, and even helped us close on the house a week early.

  Chris R., Austin, Texas – October 5, 2011

• Having been in the real estate and banking profession in a former life, I can without hesitation say that my experience with Max and his team was extremely smooth and pain free

  There were no surprises and they offered me the most competitive rate with the least amount of closing costs. Its refreshing in today’s environment to have such a wonderful experience on the refi and conversion from a 30 year fixed to a 15 year fixed rate of our mortgage. I honestly felt Max and Amy were on my side and looking out for my best interest. You are a credit to your profession. Thank you very much.

  Ken. W., Austin, Texas – September 13, 2011

• Fastest, easiest process for a mortgage ever

  Max is the best, hands down. Easy process. Fast, efficient. Asked for what he needed and made sure he had everything to get me a great rate and closed the deal on time. Never been this easy and i have had many mortgages through the years. Call him now.

  J.W., Austin, Texas – September 13, 2011

• Max was very professional, smart, and handled everything very professionally

  I have worked with mortgage brokers in the past, and it seems like most are pretty disorganized. Example, I end up having to re-send documentation over and over. I never had to do that with Max, and he and Amy kept me in the loop on the whole process. I will definitely do business with them again.

  Michael C., Austin, Texas – September 13, 2011

• I can recommend this team without hesitation

  It hasn’t been but a couple of hours since we closed on a loan with Max Leaman Austin Mortgage (aka Prime Lending). This is the 5th closing I’ve attended in my lifetime and never has the experience with the mortgage company been more FLAWLESS and PLEASANT. I especially want to put in a good word for Amy Oehler, their senior loan officer. She could write the book on organization and explaining complicated things in a way that all can understand. I didn’t have to chase Amy around for one darn thing. In fact, it was the other way around! Communications were timely, clear, and follow through fantastic. RATES WERE GREAT! We got the float down rate, too. I loved working with Janey Allcorn from this office, too. Her emails gave me belly laughs. I also don’t know when any of these people sleep. They are available at all hours, every day. EVEN WHEN AMY HAD TO EVACUATE HER HOME BECAUSE OF THE AUSTIN FIRES. I didn’t even know she’d been dealing with this until the end of the closing today.

  My first attempt to get a mortage from a different brokering company failed. I did some online search and found Max’s website. I talked to him and immedeaitely I knew he was an honest, reliable and a very professional guy. He understood my situation and arranged a mortage that was the best fit I was looking for. And his closing costs are among the lowest! I highy recommend him to anybody who is looking for a mortage whether its residential or commercial. I will definitley use his service in the future.

  Manoj, Austin, Texas – September 2, 2011

• It’s always a pleasure to work with Max

  I recently worked with him for a second time, and again secured a good rate for me. I like that he accommodates my preference for working exclusively online, making it easier and more efficient for me. I would definitely recommend Max to friends and will use his services again in the future.

  Max Leaman and his team facilitated the loan process on our new home. He was recommended by a friend and the process was smooth and on time. His service to our family was above the standard and settles for nothing less. I highly recommend Max and his team for your Home Mortgage Loan. The communication was always there and went out of his way to assist us with any questions and needs during the process. Thanks again

  Jason K., Round Rock, Texas – August 22, 2011

• Max and Amy secured a mortgage for me in record time

  They picked up the pieces that another mortgage company left me with, put them all together, and did it all in time for closing. I chose a different mortgage company for my very first home purchase. Having lived and worked overseas, and with a fair amount of both freelance and undocumentable overseas income, my case was admittedly not a simple one. Though this first company assured me every step of the way that my mortgage was a sure thing and a done deal, they finally admitted, after many an unreturned phone call, they could not help me. They waited until ten days before closing to tell me this, though there was evidence they knew it much sooner. Needless to say, having changed their tune so abruptly, and so close to closing, I felt my treatment in their hands was WAY out of line and not at all FAIR. (Those two words chosen for a reason.) Discouraged and certain I’d lose the deal on the house I’d searched months for, I gave Max and Amy a call.

  C.B., Austin, Texas – August 20, 2011

• When I first bought my home, I had not yet heard of Prime Lending or Max

  I did 2 leans and (1) was interest only. Knowing the housing market would not stay stable, I was always concerned about this. A few years later, a friend bought house and was talking about out Prime Lending and how Max Leaman got them an incredible loan. I decided it was time to see if I could move into a single, more stable loan option. I decided to reach out to both my first loan officer and Max and look into my refinancing options. Max and his staff gave me their full attention and beat out my original loan officer on the first go. Max promised me the lowest interest rates, and he delivered that on the first response. I was so excited to be able to move into (1) loan with great rates. Recently, I was in need of getting my house appraised. Not knowing where to turn, I reached back out to Max. Even though I was asking for help that was not going to use his services directly, he responded to me immediately and set me up with an appraiser. They were there the next day, they were wonderful and I was very grateful!

  Welcome to Austin. I was born and raised here and have a small real estate company. Not only do I recommend Max to all my clients (without compensation), I recently bought a new home for myself and didn’t think twice about employing his services for my own family home. Why? Max daily upholds his reputation around town for closing on time at the most competitive rates. Couple that with friendly competent staff, and you have a winning team. Max himself is the type of smart and friendly business-person I would like to deal with in any avenue of life. Call him and you will be taken care of like so many others…for real. Liked: Service, Value

• Max makes the impossible possible

  I was told by 4 lending institutions that I would not quality for the a loan due to occupancy and retail considerations. I was very disappointed, however my Realtor (Charlie Pitkin) said he knew a mortgage broker with a lot of knowledge and wanted to run it by him first. He performed his own assessment on the property and found that I would be eligible for the loan, I was ecstatic. However over the next month or two I had to work between 14 and 18 hour days and was traveling internationally, not leaving much time to respond to emails or even progress the loan. Max was very effective with my time and made sure we had all the documents in place to close early so I was not homeless. I was a first time home buyer and got through it because of Max and my Realtor (Charlie Pitkin). The dynamic duo.

  Ben Q., Austin, Texas – August 18, 2011

• We love Max

  This is the second time we’ve worked with him and will use him for every Austin home we buy in the future. Max is knowledgeable, friendly and always looks out for our best interest (especially great for first time homeowners). He makes the whole process simple and fun. Highly recommended!

  Kelly I., Austin, Texas – August 15, 2011

• Enough cannot be said about what a great mortgage broker Max is

  He is incredibly knowledgeable and puts in great effort to make the loan happen at the best rate, lowest cost, etc. He makes difficult situations seem run of the mill and will search to find solutions (if he doesn’t already have them). He welcomes any questions and all challenges. We had a difficult situation with a recent short sale and incorrect information on our credit reports. We had been told by other lenders that we could not get a loan. Max took on our loan, kept the communication open and ongoing, and found the solutions to our situation. He is the hardest working broker I have ever worked with as well as honest and trustworthy. I whole heartily recommend Max!

  M. & C. W., Austin, Texas – August 14, 2011

• This was my first home purchase

  I reached out to my credit union for guidance on the process and a first loan. They also referred me to an in house real estate agent. BOTH experiences were horrible. Communication was lacking, service was lackluster, at best, and there was just no connection. Then – I met Amy Bailey and Max at Primelending. Everything turned around. The service provided was TOP NOTCH! From start to finish all targets were met. They both helped me to understand the process, more than communicated each item every step of the way, and continue to act on final items one month AFTER closing on the house. I would recommend this team to EVERYONE! My experience was FABULOUS!

  Robert S., Austin, Texas – August 12, 2011

• OUTSTANDING

  Max did for me what nobody else could or would do. We had an unusual situation when purchasing a home and after talking with several lenders who said they couldn’t help me, I luckily found Max Leaman. Not only did Max figure out how to make the loan work, he was really on top of things. He consistently called me AND called my real estate agent to let her know how the process was going. My agent was very impressed. I dealt with 4 other lenders prior to Max and it was like pulling teeth to get any information. Max made it happen and made things easy. Thank you Max Leaman!

  Dave F., Lockhart, Texas – August 11, 2011

• Max is the best loan mortgage officer

  Max is excellent! I can give him 6 stars. I found Max on internet and came with Max after got denied from 3 other loan mortgage due to our low credit score. Max is really friendly that is easy to work with. He also has full knowledge about loan. He accepted our low scredit score quickly and guided us how to raise our credit. He gave us loan with low interest. He helped us found the good inspector and cheap home insurance. We would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for mortgage loan, especially 1st home buyer. Max is the best loan officer I’ve ever had. Thanks Max!

  Christopher R., Austin, Texas – August 3, 2011

• Max is terrific

  We bought our home in Austin 4 years ago, and refinanced it 2 years ago with Max. Max finds great rates, and best of all, he handles all aspects of the loan himself. We just refinanced again, through our large international bank, and it made us appreciate Max even more. Max told us up front all the documents he would need to process the loan, and it took less than two weeks to get it done. The bank had 4 different departments involved and it took 6 weeks because they kept adding documents to the list. It was extremely annoying and frustrating. We don’t anticipate refinancing again, but if we do we’ll stick with Max!

  Sandy P., Austin, Texas – August 3, 2011

• Max makes it happen

  I did a refinance with Max that closed a couple of weeks ago and I’m really impressed. The fact that he represents the actual bank and is not a broker makes a HUGE difference. He and his team did a great job taking me through the entire process and making it as painless as possible, not an easy task the way banks are operating these days. We closed on time and throughout the process Max was always available to answer questions whenever I needed him. I recommend Max 100%.

  Corey N., Austin, Texas – July 29, 2011

• Max’s dozens of five-star ratings on this site were a factor in my decision to go with him for my mortgage loan

  Now that I have been through the first-time home buying experience and am a homeowner, I am happy to add my own five-star rating and recommend Max’s services to you unreservedly. He was of course knowledgeable about the entire process, but more importantly, he took the time to get a picture of my personal situation and financial goals with respect to home ownership, and offer advice and options most beneficial to me. I felt he was being honest and straightforward with me through the entire process; there were no hitches, no surprises, and I closed on schedule. He was easy to get in touch with and always got back to me promptly, and offers very competitive rates. Like I said at the beginning, I recommend him unreservedly. Top-notch, friendly service.

  Christopher, Austin, Texas – July 26, 2011

• Max is a top-notch mortgage broker

  Friendly, honest and professional. I was a first-time home buyer, and although I had studied the process extensively beforehand, I was still naturally somewhat apprehensive. But Max listened carefully, explained every step of the process, and was always quick to return my calls if I had additional questions. He really put me at ease. The fees were reasonable, I got an excellent interest rate, and there were no surprises or delays in the entire process. I closed on schedule and am now having fun getting my new condo set up. I recommend Max without reservation!

  C.M., Austin, Texas – July 26, 2011

• My wife and I recently moved from California (my job moved) and sold my house there

  We rented an apartment and learned too late that it’s next to railroad tracks (yes, trackS plural). After searching around by ourselves to find a house and selecting an agent, I started my research to find a broker. Having worked in the mortgage industry (in a title office, as customer service for mortgages and as a loan officer), I’m not the average buyer. I selected Max based on multiple reviews on different sites, I sent an introductory email explaining that I knew what I was talking about and expected to be treated fairly. He sent me an estimate (not a GFE, as our credit was not pulled, yet) based on the information I provided. I was completely satisfied with the rates and fees and moved forward with Max. The entire loan process was smooth as glass and we closed on time with no problems. Max showed up at the closing and sat through the boring part (watching my wife and I sign stuff) to make sure we had no final questions. I strongly recommend Max Leaman as a mortgage broker.

  Raymond B., Austin, Texas – July 24, 2011

• Max might just be a genius

  I say this in all honesty–he is super organized, friendly to the point where you think you might have known him your whole life, professional, and honest. This is our first home and we were almost paranoid about trusting our financial future to someone we did not know. Max set us at ease very quickly. Not only was he completely thorough in his explanations, he was more than patient when we didn’t understand. He was upfront and professional with serious bits and laid back and friendly in the not-so-stressful moments. Max continues to keep in touch after closing–shortly after we closed we got a smiley face magnet from him, which is all Max. Today we got a an address stamper(oohlala!). In addition to all this, we got an AMAZING interest rate. So, honestly I cannot imagine you get better service anywhere in the metro Austin area. Mostly because Max isnt faking it–he obviously enjoys providing customer satisfaction beyond expectations. And yes he does come to closings, and we were funded in under an hour. He called us before the Title company did! Meet with him, he DOES have your best interests in mind!

  Jayme E., Round Rock, Texas – July 20, 2011

• Max provided excellent service and was even able to help me close on my house within 30 days

  I was a first time buyer and the process was pain less because of Max. I highly recommend him.

  Chris K., Austin, Texas – July 19, 2011

• I’d like to echo some of the wonderful attributes already mentioned about Max

  He is a very personable and bright loan officer. His customer service is impeccable. He tended to my every question and made sure I understood what to expect during the process. I credit him with my smooth home closing. I will definitely recommend him to family, friends, and colleagues in the future.

  Devon M., Austin, Texas – July 18, 2011

• Awsome Mortgage Broker

  When my girlfriend and I purchased our first home together Max went above and beyond what we expected. From the start, he explained the process in terms that were easy to understand. And throughout the process he facilitated our loan application, approval and funding. Our situation created some hiccups, but he was there as a problem solver and made the deal happen in quick fashion. Max attended our closing even when our realtor did not. When the escrow officer excused herself to make copies, Max continued the closing, explaining the process the entire time. in addition to his excellent service and knowledge, Max is an affable guy who always makes you feel comfortable in what, at times, is a stressful process. I would highly recommend Max as the mortgage broke of choice.

  Will M., Austin, Texas – July 14, 2011

• 5 Stars

  Max recently helped with a condo purchase and I would say he was a great asset to have during the process. Max answered my first call and from there he passed me to Amy who works with him. She was not only very prompt in answering emails and calls, she always seemed very happy to help out. I liked Max’s float down rate lock. We locked once and then we locked again when rates dropped again. It always seemed like someone was on the ball answering our emails and calls whether it was Max, Amy or someone from their support staff. I would say the longest I waited for a response was maybe 3-4 hours tops. In comparison, I did a refinance with Bank of America last year and the whole process with them was somewhat annoying with minor mistakes, curt responses to emails and lack of communication overall on the process. To be fair, I think it was just this particular loan officer (he seemed like he hated his job) and not BofA that was the problem. I think the fact that I have never even met the guy or anyone on their staff in person (my entire loan was done through email/phone even though I am based in Austin) and he still made me feel like he was personally invested in the success of my loan shows how hes a cut above the rest.

  Kenny C., Austin, Texas – July 11, 2011

• 5 Stars Max Leaman is a noble and honorable man

  He helped my wife and I through the scary task of buying our first home. He’s extremely organized and on top of everything. Being a first time home buyer, we had many questions and Max answered and explained all them, even the ridiculous ones. If I could give him 10 stars I would! If you’re looking to buy a home, you MUST CALL MAX!!! He truly is the BEST!

  Max and his team were great in answering our questions, letting us know what we needed and following through with everything, esp. since it was our first home purchase. We closed on our house extremely smoothly thank goodness! Max was fabulous, encouraging, and educated us on investing in properties. When we purchase our next property (plans to do so in 2-5 years) we will definitely use Max again! Thanks, Max! ~Christy

  Christy F., Austin, TX – June 30, 2011

• Max IS a great mortgage broker

  He worked with our very tricky situation (second home and self employed) and helped me calm my wife down many times (she can be a bit nutty). He and his staff were there every step of the way for us, and he did it all while we were in another state. Everything he told us was correct to the letter, and our interest rate ended up being slightly lower than he originally quoted. I would highly recommend him anytime!

  Geoffrey G., Costa Mesa, CA – June 27, 2011

• Reasons Max rocks:

  1 – His GFE has low closing costs without you having to call and question every line item. 2 – He is responsive and can answer questions without going to some legal department.3 – If he says he can close on a certain date, he makes it happen.

  Nathan C., Austin, Texas – June 25, 2011

• Max fought for our business and really gave us the best rates and experience

  He answered everything thoroughly and promptly and his staff was always on the ball. Even though it was our first home buying experience, it was a great one. He knows what he’s doing and is really on the side of his clients. Him and his team also worked incredibly quickly because they knew we were in a rush. They got us into our home in something like 15-20 days, which is the fastest closing I’ve ever heard of. Thanks for everything, we’ll be sure to recommend you to everyone we know who is looking to buy a house.

  Sandhya G., Austin, Texas – June 22, 2011

• Max Leaman is the bomb diggity

  I just got off the phone with him even though it’s been six months since I bought my home. I protested my tax appraisal and was asking if he could give me any insight into the process. He said that wasn’t his area, but not before saying, ‘oh yeah, you bought the house on *my street*, right? how much did you buy it for? *purchase price*? And I see they appraised it at *appraisal price*.’ He then gave me the name and phone number of his contact for appraisal protests. Did I mention that it’s been six months since he last heard from me? That’s how it is working with him, he always has an answer or a referral at his fingertips. There was a negative item on my credit report for a misreported account, he talked me through the process of getting it removed and getting my score recalculated so that I could get a better interest rate. He got my pre-approval letter through on the day that I decided to make an offer, despite being in Dallas for a conference and only being able to call/e-mail me between presentations. And on the day of my closing he was there, explaining each mortgage-related form to me before my pen touched the paper. Before reading all these reviews I assumed that I was getting special treatment because I was such a great client, but apparently the man is made of pure mortgage magic.

  Melanie F., Austin, Texas – June 22, 2011

• Max guided and advised me through the entire mortgage process

  Started with the good faith estimate all the way to sitting next to me at my loan closing and answering every email and call in between. My friends and family members told me early on obtaining a mortgage is a long, tedious process that will drain your time and energy… if you’re luck enough to qualify. After finishing my loan process last week with Max Leaman, I don’t see what all the fuss is about? Actually, it’s no coincidence that this was a smooth, easy and painless process. As a first time home buyer and a recent addition to the state of Texas, I had no idea what to expect. From the initial call to Max, I knew he was a top notch professional.

  A.L., Austin, Texas – June 21, 2011

• When I was mortgage loan shopping, Max made the decision easy

  I was on a timeline to get documents prepared, and Max was faster and more helpful than any of the other loan officers I considered. Plus, he was the most competitive; it seemed like the other loan companies were not willing to go the extra mile to get my business. Closing was very smooth. I would recommend anyone in the market for a mortgage to check with Max. ‎

  J.P., Austin, TX – June 3, 2011

• Believe the hype. Max is the real deal

  Being first time home buyers and recent transplants from New England, my wife and I had our work cut out for us in finding a reliable mortgage company. The entire mortgage industry has changed quite a bit over the years and we soon found that it changes almost by the minute. After finding a house and negotiating the price and conditions, our initial lender changed their terms. We found another lender exclusive to the Austin area who approved, then fell through on his terms. With little room to spare under the option period, we backed out on the house and contacted Max. We proceeded with another house shortly thereafter, which ended up being a better house for us. Max was very sympathetic to our situation and was very up front on how he worked, what he needed from us, and what to expect. Max’s greatest asset aside from being up front and candid is being resourceful. ‎

  Sean B., Austin, TX – June 2, 2011

• My wife and I were first time home buyers

  A realtor was not involved. Max helped us out so much, answered any questions we had, and went above and beyond what we expected out of a mortgage broker. Closing was easy and painless. We highly recommend Max and the Prime Lending company.‎

  D.A., Austin, TX – June 2, 2011

• Working with Max Leaman and his assocaites was a wonderfully painless experience

  If everyone could work with him then everyone would be able to buy a home. I was referred to Max buy the seller of our condo, which can be a bit off putting however I was pleasently surprised at how much Max truely cared about me and my best interest. He answered every question that I had and made me feel comfortable with the loan process. As a first time home buyer I was clueless as to what I was doing but Max was able to put me at ease and assured me that I had nothing to worry about. Max went above and beyond my expectations and I truely appreciate all of his help. Even my realtor was impressed with Max and his assocaites and mentioned that she was hoping to be able to partner with them again.‎

  His rates were significantly better than any major bank so don’t even bother calling them, If it was not for him and his team we would be living at my mom’s house… enough said. You Rock Max‎

  Travis W., Austin, TX – May 11, 2011

• It was really great doing business with Max. He was friendly and open with us the whole process

  He is professional and kept in contanct with us the whole time about what was going on with our loan. I would definitely recommend working with him and his awesome team. ‎

  Kelsie, Austin, TX – May 7, 2011

• Most business nowadays has become more about volume than relationships. Max Leaman and his associates are the exception

  As a first time homebuyer I could have easily become overwhelmed by the whole buying process, but with Max in my corner I felt confident and relaxed. I have a very busy schedule during the week, however Max’s efficiency made this a non issue. He was always punctual, friendly and professional. There are few businesses left that treat their clients with the honesty and compassion that Max and his entire staff do. And like the other reviewers before me said, he’s just a really good guy. ‎

  Jeff, Austin, TX – May 2, 2011

• Max Leaman was recommended to me by my agent and once I met him, I knew I found my man.

  As a first time home buyer, I was understandably nervous about going through my first loan process. He explained things clearly and answered all my questions thoroughly. He came to my closing and the whole thing went through as smooth as Bieber at a tweener party. Extremely knowledgeable and professional, Max should change his last name to ‘Effort’ ’cause that’s how he brings it every day. ‎

  J.D. C., Austin, TX – May 2, 2011

• Max walked my fiance and I through the lending process with ease

  He listened to our concerns and gave options that would work best for our situation. He kept us in the drivers seat while still keeping us under control. Max even came to our closing to make sure all our questions concerning our lending were answered. I hope I wont have to buy a house for many years but if we do we will go see Max.‎

  C.T., Austin, TX – April 25, 2011

• Despite his boyish good looks, Max is actually an experienced mortgage professional

  He worked very hard to get my loan set up quickly and efficiently. Max made a complicated process easier to get through, taking the time to explain any parts of the loan process or language I didn’t initially understand. And yes, he is just a really nice guy!‎

  Mark F., Austin, TX – April 20, 2011

• I just bought my second house using Max as my mortgage broker and could not be happier

  On my first home purchase I was very impressed by how convenient Max and his staff made the mortgage process. I make the majority of my income in commissions which I thought would make the process complicated and difficult, but Max made it pain free, informing me of the lenders requirements with plenty of time and guiding me throughout the process. Now I’ve bought my second home and once again I called on Max, even though I’ve moved to Dallas. Again, Max and his staff made the process worry free. I got a great rate and even though I’ve only been at my new job 6 months, he got me the loan I wanted. I highly recommend Max to anyone who is looking for an honest, experienced professional to help you through the mortgage process ‎

  George S., Dallas, TX – April 5, 2011

• Yes. He really IS as good as these reviews all say. GIVE HIM A CALL

  Max and my amazing realtor (Michelle Lee-Wilder) combined with the staff of Independance Title (especially Zana King) made my home-buying experience AMAZING. I was really nervous about the process (and my husband was incredibly suspicious of lenders in general) but Max took the time to earn our trust and explain everything in layman’s terms. He took two people who were nervous and turned them into two people who were looking forward to going to closing. Max was at our closing and was available to answer any questions we had as we were signing the papers. One of the things that I really loved about Max, let me just share this illustration really quick: Max is crunching our numbers in our first meeting. He asks us what our budget is. We give it to him and he informs us that we were actually approved for quite a bit more than that. Shocked! There was no way! We told him that while we appreciated their vote of confidence, there was no way we could afford a home at the price cap of our loan. If it was all the same to him we would be sticking with our budget, thankyouverymuch. To our surprise he agreed! Instead of trying to upsell us a loan we couldn’t afford he said he probably wouldn’t have written a loan for that amount to us anyways (knowing that it was really unreasonable and unmanageable). He doesn’t want to see you fail, and has the integrity to stand behind his work. I admire that a LOT. In a world where integrity in the financial world is hard to come by, Max is one of those rare guys that you need to hope never go away. If you go through Max with Prime Lending, know that you are in great hands. ‎

  Jennet S., Cedar Park, TX – April 1, 2011

• When my awesome realtor, Nancy Taute, recommended PrimeLending, I thought I would go ahead and see what they had to offer

  What I found was that Max Leaman and Amy Oehler from PrimeLending are wonderful to work with during the stressful home purchase process. From the beginning, Amy helped me establish how much I qualified for comfortably. We went over different scenarios and discussed how the numbers would change and what the final estimated outcome would be like for each home I was interested in purchasing. They made the paperwork part of the process easy and painless. They carefully explained each part of the process and each document in a clear and easy to understand way. Although they were very professional, both were fun to talk with, and able to be reached whenever I had a question or a concern. Max has a very reassuring way of explaining things that he made me feel very comfortable and confident in my home purchase. ‎

  C.M., Austin, TX – April 1, 2011

• Max was highly recommended by a real estate agent who promised he couldn’t be beat & she was right

  The entire process was smooth from start to finish. We purchased in the Ft Worth area & there was not one problem with him being located in Austin. Everything was explained thoroughly & I was always able to get through to him quickly & any messages I left were answered promptly. He easily beat out a competitor with much lower fees. His whole team was wonderful to work with & always able to answer all questions. My agent in Ft Worth was shocked at how early we had our final closing figures & also at how quickly our loan funded after closing. I was so pleased with the whole process that my daughter is now using Max’s services for her home purchase.‎

  Jody H., Crowley, TX – March 24, 2011

• We turned to Max in a panic one month before closing when we felt the mortgage broker our realtor orginally recommended was lacking in expertise and mortgage rate knowledge

  Max was a breath of fresh air. Upon first contacting him, he met us the next morning and got things started efficiently and expediently. Anytime we had a concern or question, he answered us promptly via phone and email with clear explanations. Best of all, we closed on time! He even showed up in person for our closing while we were signing paperwork to address any final hour questions and offered guidance on what would happen next with the homestead act, mortgage payments, etc. If you are purchasing your first property in Texas, Max is super knowledgeable about the loan process, appraisals, mortgage rates and more. Talk to him first before considering another mortgage loan lender. His customer service and care through a really stressful time for us was A+.‎

  Caryn & Emmanuel, Austin, Texas – March 23, 2011

• Max did an excellent job

  putting together a complex financial package allowing us to refinance an existing duplex and purchase a new home simultaneously and made it seem simple. He did everything possible to insure the plan worked perfectly on closing day and was physically with us during both closings. In fact, he scheduled them back to back and about a block apart to minimize the time we spent away from work. His team, Amy and Janey, were great at communicating what they needed and following up with us to keep us on track. I would definitely use Max and his fantastic team again and recommend you do to!‎

  Joe S., Austin, Texas – March 8, 2011

• Twenty five-star reviews at the time of writing? Is it too good to be true? Nope

  Max and his team really are that good. Max helped us acquire a mortgage within the last few months and it was honestly ten times less painful than I expected it to be in large part to his availability and prompt response to almost every question I had. We were unsure about what we would qualify for at the beginning and he was more than willing to explore many mortgage options with us during the process of prequalification. A few of the lovely things about Prime Lending: No charge for nixing the escrow account with 20% down, no prepayment penalties on mortgages, really competitive rates and origination fees, and a staff that stays late and goes the extra mile to make sure paperwork is ready. Max attends your closing, which in our case helped fix a paperwork snafu immediately. One of my favorite things, however, was after we locked down a rate Max emailed me every day for a month with the daily loan rates so we could see if the market went up or down that day and potentially lock in a lower rate (it didn’t go down once, and Max made a good call in telling us to lock ASAP before it went up.) I completely recommend this company to anyone looking for a painless mortgage experience – well, except for that whole paying-off-the-mortgage part. Not so painless in that sense.‎

  Katherine C., Austin, Texas – March 1, 2011

• It was a great experience from start to finish

  Max is great at what he does. Max acted as our mortgage lender and he made the process extremely easy for us. He had all of the forms ready for us the minute we met with him. He was extremely efficient and helped us understand exactly what we could afford and what we should spend. He helped us every step of the way, got us a great interest rate and was always fun to work with.‎

  O.G. and S.B., Austin, Texas – February 12, 2011

• Stop making it difficult on yourself, and just call Max

  Wife and I recently moved to the Austin area from Houston and used Max for a refinance, couldn’t have made it and easier. Max and his team made the process a breeze, and was we were able to submit many of the forms and paperwork through e-mail. Max wasted no time getting us the Loan package we needed; and was there at closing to finish the deal, and to answer any last minute questions…I cant say enough about how professional and prompt he was. Dont take my word for it though, just give him a call…you will see very quickly. Thanks Max‎

  C.M., Austin, Texas – February 11, 2011

• 5 Stars

  As a first time home buyer I was very overwhelmed by, and honestly somewhat suspicious of, the process of taking on a mortgage. Thankfully I got a recommendation from a colleague to give Max a call. He was so open and honest about every facet of the lending process that I felt like I really understood exactly what I was doing, and felt confident making my decisions. I closed a few weeks ago, and things have gone as smoothly as I could have hoped for. Max was all pro throughout, and I appreciate him giving me one less thing to worry about when buying a home. Five stars for sure.

  Michael J., Austin, Texas – February 10, 2011

• 5 Stars

  Our refinancing process was virtually painless and I attribute that largely to Max’s involvement. Max and his staff were consistently diligent in contacting us when any issues came up. He also went the extra mile to make sure we took advantage of an opportunity to get a better interest rate.

  Lance C., Austin, Texas – February 10, 2011

• You can believe in the ratings you see here

  Max is friendly, knowledgeable and respectful. He delivers amazing service with no added bull or pressure to sign up for other services. He’s always available for questions. Thanks, Max!‎

  Dan S., Austin, Texas – February 9, 2011

• What a great experience with MAX

  Max and his team are extremely knowledgeable, always professional, patient, and accomodating in this sometimes scary process. Any concern I had was addressed above and beyond my expectations. Max encouraged me to shop around, which I did. I realize this only reflects the confidence he has in his team and his product. Even after closing, Max has been readily accessible with any questions I have had. I recommend this team and will definitely be back for future endeavors. I wish everyone in this industry were as sincere and trustworthy as Max. Thanks again! ‎

  Tatiana O., Austin, Texas – February 7, 2011

• The whole experience was exactly how it is described in the introduction

  It was stress free and Max was helpful throughout the entire process. My only regret is that I do not have any other friends to recommend to him that are in need of a mortgage or refinance. All questions were addressed promptly and no concern ever seemed to insignificant for his time. He could always be reached wether it was by phone, text, e-mail, or fax. I mention these things because we made an attempt in 2009 to refinance when rates were trending down. We decided to work with Barton Mortgage because they helped us with our initial mortgage. We assumed that since we had a history with them and were repeat customers that the process would be easy. No such luck. Phone calls would be returned days later; items had to re-faxed and with so many delays on their part we missed our window to take advantage of the lower rates. I felt like we were constantly requesting them to process our paperwork so we could lock in on a good rate. Our experience with Max was the opposite of that. He did everything he could to facilitate the process and we were able to take advantage of the rates at the time. Also, as far as cost goes, it turned out to be half of what it would’ve cost with the other company. Needless to say, we were very happy with our experience and if he can help us in the future we will be contacting him again. ‎

  Jason & Maggie M., Fort Worth, TX – February 3, 2011

• I was introduced to Max by friends who previously worked with him. I’m a foreign US resident and wanted to buy a home in Dallas

  Being a foreign resident and under current stringent conditions to get a mortage I knew it was not going to be easy. However I found Max who really did a good job for me. Starting from a simple application we had to go through a very though approval process where I needed to provide tons of papers and declarations to justify my incomes and liabilities. Max was always there to advise and provide support throughout the full process. Moreover I felt like Max established a connection with my needs and worked as a bridge between my case and what requested by its company and the market. He briefied me at any step making me better understanding what was going on at any time. The process was though but it Max did a great job. I think it’s during hard times when you see if people have a value. Max showed he did have.‎

  C.O., Dallas, TX – January 17, 2011

• I wish there were more stars, because Max deserves all of them! Max assisted me with my 5th home purchase, and I can say, without a doubt, that this was the most seamless process yet

  He was prompt, professional, friendly, and efficient. I felt confident throughout the process that he was on top of everything, ensuring that I got the best deal possible. Whether a first time home buyer or an experienced real estate person, Max is the right choice. There’s simply no one better than him! ‎

  Lorena G., Austin, TX – January 14, 2011

• Thank God for Max! Max Leaman and his team were a God send

  We had been trying to get prequalified for a home loan without any luck. Our Real estate Agent, Diane Rodriguez, of Pangea Realty was also awesome. When all of her usual lenders couldn’t help us, she started making cold calls and found Max. Max had faith in us and knew every rule to mortgage lending. He got us into a great program with a great interest rate. Within 6 weeks of our first appointment with Max, we were in our new home and we couldn’t be happier! ‎

  A.D., Buda, TX – January 14, 2011

• We recently purchased a home. Max was excellent

  He was professional and helped at various states to get the deal done. Importantly, he got us the best rate available. We definitely recommend using him. ‎

  Drew M., Austin, TX – January 11, 2011

• I recently purchased a duplex and used Max Leaman with Primelending

  This is actually the second loan Max has done for me. Just like the first time, everything was perfect. Max is extremely professional and organized and knows what he is doing. All the fees and expenses were clear up front, everything he needed from me was asked for in a timely manner, and we closed on time and my monthly payment is even a bit less than what he had estimated. Not all lenders are created equal. Max’s attention to detail and level of customer service put him head and shoulders above any other lender I have met. Knowing that everything will close on time and as expected is extremely comforting. I can’t say enough positive things about him. I highly recommend his services.‎

  J.B., Austin, Texas – January 7, 2011

• Straightforward process and great service

  Max was a pleasure and very easy to work with on what for most folks is one of the biggest transactions of their lifetime. We worked with Max on a refi and throughout the process he made us confident we were working with the right broker.Max was very available to us whether our questions were big or small. He walked us through many of the complexities in a very simple and easy to understand manner. There were no hidden line items or surprises and our closing was smooth and easy and just as expected. Based on our experience i would definitely recommend working with Max for your mortgage!‎

  H.M., Austin, Texas – January 3, 2011

• We’ve never had a better mortgage experience in our 35 years of home ownership

  In the past, we’ve either dealt with an unknown mortgage officer in person or over the phone. We weren’t prepared for the level of personal attention and care we received from Max. He even showed up at our closing…never had that happen before. Max is personable, professional and efficient. The application process took all of an hour, if that. Throughout the process, Max kept us informed of the loan status. When our closing was rescheduled several times to accommodate the buyer of our old house, Max was flexible and unflappable. If you’re in the market for a new mortgage or a re-finance and you want to work with someone who will take a personal interest in your needs, contact Max Leaman. He’s the best we’ve worked with.‎

  B.D., Austin, Texas – December 16, 2010

• Max helped me close a house deal early

  to allow my wife and I to move out of our Louisiana home and into our Austin home simultaneously without sacrificing detail, efficiency, a good sense of humor, a positive attitude, or great customer service. It’s a no-brainer. Work with Max!‎

  Ewing B., Austin, Texas – December 16, 2010

• My wife and I recently purchased our first home

  The experience with PrimeLending and Max Leaman made our first home purchase easier than we both could have imagined. He was knowledgeable, prompt, and attentive on all our questions or concerns. We would recommend anyone looking for a smart, honest, and dedicated loan professional to contact Max Leaman at PrimeLending. It was a pleasure to work with him. ‎

  Kyle W., Austin, Texas – December 6, 2010

• Max made it so easy

  It was almost like I didn’t have to do anything. I have already referred him out to a few people and will be using him in the future. ‎

  Bobby K., Austin, Texas – November 30, 2010

• Max really came through for us on this mortgage

  This was a special property and we were in a special situation and he found a way to make the seemingly impossible possible. He was extremely polite, confident and went above and beyond on more than one occasion. I cannot recommend him highly enough.‎

  Darren B., Round Rock, Texas – November 11, 2010

• Great.

  This was my first home purchase and Max guided me through all of the details so that the process was as smooth as possible. He made buying a home a relatively painless experience. He also gave us some great pointers along the way about avoiding people trying to scam us. I would definitely use him again.‎

  Andrew K., Austin, Texas – October 22, 2010

• This guy was on point, every question and every concern along the way

  Very polite and made time for us every time we came into his office. This guy knows how to treat the consumer in a market saturated with offers. Who would not want to deal with a great guy locally? I never felt our honeymoon fade….‎

  Emilio M., Austin, Texas – October 6, 2010

• Max and his staff did a great job on our recent mortgage

  The whole process was easy and very personal .. by that I mean, my wife and I felt like we were not just a number . .as we have felt in the past dealing with large banks, etc. Max made sure we were comfortable with each step of the process and we closed on time and to our satisfaction. He also insured i got the best rate. ‎

  Steve B., Austin, Texas – September 30, 2010

• After dealing with several lenders in Austin, I finally called Max Leaman.

  I am a Realtor, and have several relationships in the mortgage business. I wish I would have been introduced to Max sooner. He is by far, the best in the business. My wife and I felt very comfortable working with Max on our own purchase. We were buying our first home, and were very grateful to have a ‘straight-forward, honest, efficient’ lender, such as Max. Now that we have moved into our home, I am very comfortable knowing everything there is to know about my loan. If and when I ever have a question, I know I can call Max anytime, and get the answer I need right away. I will gladly recommend Max Leaman to my clients, as well as my family and friends. ‎

  Nick Q., Austin, Texas – September 23, 2010

• I recently purchased a home and Max was extremely helpful and professional

  He took time to answer my questions and made himself available. It was those reasons that I highly recommend his services. ‎

  Chris F., Round Rock, Texas – September 23, 2010

• Max stepped in when my other broker failed to respond to our unusual needs

  We had a time commitment on our offer and we needed to know whether we could get things done quickly. With no notice, Max answered the call and got things done. He answered all of my calls personally and got me answers when I needed it. I would use Max again without looking elsewhere.‎

  Alex & Alicia G., Austin, Texas – August 31, 2010

• This was my first home purchase, and Max made it so easy for me

  He explained everything to me, and even answered my rookie questions promptly and thoroughly along the way. He’s wonderful!‎

  Regina S., August 20, 2010, Kyle, Texas

• Max was able to get us multiple extensions on our paperwork

  which prevented us from being super screwed by the bank dragging their feet and feeding us BS. It was because of him that we saved a fat chunk of change by not having to start over. I highly recommend Max to anyone who needs a loan, because he handles business professionally. ‎

  Thomas R., August 15, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max was recommended to me by two friends as I was dealing with headaches and changing stories (fees) from other lenders

  I was on schedule to close in 2 weeks. Since I’d already gone through the process with others, I brought my stack of papers to Max and he gave me the best deal (by far!), the most thorough answers, and greatest availability. He was both personable and highly professional. I wish I could give AAA ratings because he was actually able to meet the original closing date only 2 weeks from our first meeting!! Unheard of, especially on an FHA loan. He was available to answer questions as they arose by email, phone, and even text message (and, believe me, I had a lot of them). Also important, he was able to swiftly answer questions in layman’s terms, showing that he was very well-qualified and knew what he was doing. The closing, which Max attended, went very smoothly. I immediately recommended him to a friend who was in the process of buying, and she went with Max as well with equally positive results. I would highly recommend him to anyone! ‎

  Julia H., August 11, 2010, Austin, Texas

• NO JOKE, THE BEST LENDER IN AUSTIN!!!!

  My wife and I were in the market to buy our first home. I first contacted a lender according to my agent’s referral. I could not get the lender to work with our situation. In fact, the company discouraged almost every scenario we proposed for our real estate investment. Fast forward a few weeks and we find Max Leaman. After dealing with the first lender, it took me a bit to actually believe how positive Max was throughout the whole process. He made everything work and I still don’t know how he did it. His good faith estimate was spot on. He is extremely diligent in his communication skills. If he doesn’t answer his phone, he will call you back within the hour, typically only a few minutes. I really can’t say enough about Max, other than I am 110% satisfied with every part of the transaction. He even came to the closing and sent us a very nice card after the deal was finished. I know I can call Max anytime for anything. Don’t delay, call Max NOW!‎

  Nick C., August 9, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max is the best Mortgage Lender in Austin, TX

  He is efficient & timely with responses. He is always looking at you (the client) and your best interest be it a first time mortgage or re-financing for a better % rate. Max has helped me with both and has always lead me in the right direction. He knows his business and when to jump to make the deal in the client’s best interest. Max’s constant follow-up is what makes him the best ! On top of all that, Max is just a really nice guy.‎

  Kristen H., August 6, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Simply, MAX WAS AMAZING

  His charges were much less than my bank’s, his rates were better, and his service was exemplary. I cannot say enough about the service Max and his team provided. He made the entire process effortless. He was even at my closing, so I could get the keys to my new home right then. I only wish everyone else I dealt with as part of my relocation would have provided the same service level that Max did. He was the best member of my relocation team. I cannot recommend him enough! ‎

  Chris H., August 4, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max and his team were always available, amazing you could always reach him even on cell.

  Staff worked overtime to make our loan processing a positive experience, even calling to Europe to make sure we got it all done on time. Loan rates were terrific and paperwork was easily done on line and over the phone. Minute details were always explained. We were referred by our real estate agent and we are very pleased. Max personally came to the closing to address any questions and to support our big decision. We think he and his team are the A team and suggest that you call him first. ‎

  Carol and Gerry H., July 29, 2010, Sioux City, IA

• I live in New York & recently purchased a 2nd home in the Austin area (Cedar Park) & the entire loan process was awesome

  Max was very professional, he gave thorough explanations of the entire process (even repeatedly), he returned phone calls right away, & his attempt to win my business was very sincere (unlike many others I was also working with). All-in-all he was very friendly & true to his word that he would try his hardest to beat any of the other offers I received (which he did!). I can’t help but to praise his services & although I never actually met him (my only regret in doing business from out of state), I would highly recommend Max to my friends & family or anyone else for that matter.‎

  Jose O., July 29, 2010, New Rochelle, NY

• Yet another satisfied customer

  Thanks for making it happen Max.‎

  Chadwick and Bree O., July 28, 2010, Cedar Park, Texas

• I worked with Max and 2 other nationally recognized banks to get a mortgage.

  Max was the most responsive and crafted the best deal. As we moved through the process to provide all the credit and financial history docs, Max and his team were very helpful and responsive. Always easy to talk directly with.‎

  Marc Y., July 22, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Friendly, not intimidating, timely, helpful mortgage guy!

  ‎

  Sheri B., July 21, 2010, Austin, Texas

• I first worked with Max more than a year ago as a first-time homebuyer, and recently I refinanced my loan, again with Max.

  Both times I scoured the field for other options, and I found no-one better than Max. The process was very professional and straight forward; all estimates were in writing; there were no surprise fees or changes. (Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about several other organizations I looked into.) Max was easy to reach with questions, and he helped resolve the several issues that arose with due care and courtesy. I highly recommend Max for your mortgage needs.‎

  Alex P., July 20, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max made buying a home for the first time a great experience.

  I felt like he was very knowledgeable about the kind of loan I needed, very honest about the entire process and all the nuances of purchasing a home, and perhaps most important, I thought he had my best interests in mind. Max is always working, so if you have a burning question, he’s quick to respond. I have already recommended Max a few times since getting in the house just a few weeks ago. ‎

  Avelino R., July 19, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Makes refi almost <gasp> fun

  Dealing with Max is like dealing with an old friend who wants to see everything go as well and as simply as you do. And it did. Calls and emails are returned promptly, often within minutes…and a little good humor does not hurt at all…‎

  Artie G., July 15, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max Leaman handled a loan for us for a recent purchase

  He was very helpful, personable and friendly. He was easy to communicate with and he did a good job. ‎

  J.M., June 26, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max is great! He was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout our entire home buying process

  As first-time buyers, it was important to my husband and I that we had someone who was willing and patient enough to go through every single detail step-by-step. We had met with 3 other mortgage/loan officers who either seemed incompetent, inpatient, rude, or were not experienced enough with our type of financial situation (my husband and I are both free-lance employees, so not the easiest loan clients). Right off the bat I could tell Max was going to be great. He was very personable, experienced, and patient. He exceeded our highest expectations. ‎

  The Dishners, June 19, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max is awesome

  After he locked in our mortgage rate he kept his eye on the market for us and got us .25% lower a few days later. He’s knowledgeable and down to earth and works hard for you. ‎

  Kim, June 18, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max provided funding for three rental properties

  All three are in South Austin and in excellent neighborhoods. The application process was extremely easy as it was an electronic form. We qualified for some excellent rates but normally would have expected to have an increased rate for the third property but Max worked diligently and qualified us for the same lower rate on the third property. Max is exceptionally knowledgeable and very personable. We enjoyed the financing experience and its outcome. Max was at each closing to provide any background information and to confirm all data was current and available. I highly recommend his services. ‎
  

• Great Rate on a Refi

  Max helped me get a great rate on my refinance, considering I don’t have the greatest credit score. It was a painless experience when compared to my first loan. All was handled by email, fax and phone, with no undo stresses. He was very competent, and quick to respond to any questions I had. No surprise fees or charges at closing, which took less than an hour. Awesome!! I would recommend Max to anyone.‎ Thanks Max RR ‎

  R.R., June 2, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max came to my aid with creative solutions every time I ran into a hiccup during the process

  For example, I was changing jobs at the time of the purchase, and he worked with me to satisfy the bank’s employment verification process. He saved me half a point on the interest rate by letting me lock down the rate at the most beneficial time, rather than waiting until closing. And he was extremely honest about the source and use of each line item (fee) on the loan paperwork. All of the other lenders I’d looked at had higher rates, gimmicky deals that were bad for me in the long run, and tended to lump all the fees together so that you couldn’t easily compare lenders. Max even attended my closing to be sure nothing went wrong. ‎

  B.K., May 21, 2010, Austin, Texas

• I recently bought my first house

  My realtor referred me to Max. Boy am I glad! Max was very easy to work with. He patiently walked me through the loan processes and willing shared his knowledge and experiences. Max took care of all the details to bring me to an easy closing. Max and his staff were very good to me. I would recommend him to everyone! ‎Denise G., May 19, 2010, Leander, Texas

• Max found his calling in what he does for a living

  Whether its your first time or tenth time Max and his staff are who you want taking care of your mortgage needs. Very professional yet extremly welcoming and caring. Max and his staff do a tremendous job of making sure you understand every step of the home mortgage process and then some. No doubt about it who I will choose for future purchases Max Leaman and his staff lead the industry in every way. Thank you. ‎Richard H., May 17, 2010, Austin, Texas

• They say people are only truly inspired to write negative reviews, but as you can see here, the opposite is true of Max

  I had the unexpected pleasure of working with Max on my first home purchase. I say unexpected as my realtor turned out to be, shall we say, less than professional…and yet he brought me to Max, the perfect blend of professional yet familiar, knowledgeable yet open-minded. Max went far and above what I could ever have expected of a lender, and despite the fact that I still haven’t opened that savings account and apparently can’t identify him from Adam at the airport…I greatly value his advice and counsel. In sum, I highly recommend Max. You will not find a more dedicated lender…even if he makes you reconsider the wisdom of that daily Starbucks. Yes, I quit Starbucks, Max. Baby steps. ‎

  Joy L., May 11, 2010, Austin, Texas

• I’m looking into a refinance/home equity loan, and I called Max Leaman because of all the good reviews.

  Despite determining right off the bat that he probably wasn’t the best guy to help me, and giving me a recommendation for someone to talk to, Max stayed on the phone with me and patiently explained the ins and outs of Texas loan statutes, what to expect from different institutions, etc. He even called me back when the connection died. All this for someone who’s not even a customer. That earns 5 stars in my book. ‎Mike D., May 11, 2010, Austin, TX

• I was a first-time home buyer, and Max made the whole process as stress-free as possible.

  He answered all my questions and put my mind at ease every step of the way. When any possible problems arose, Max always had a solution. In fact, I don’t know if I would even own a house today if not for Max. He went above and beyond. I felt like he was looking out for me throughout the whole process, from anticipating any possible hiccups with the mortgage insurance to keeping a close eye on the interest rates and knowing when to lock in. He was always there for my calls, and he made everything crystal clear. He even attended the closing, which was invaluable. Go with Max for a smooth and informative mortgage experience. You won’t be surprised at closing, and you’ll be telling all of your friends about him, just like I did. He really is the best! ‎

  Dave P., May 10, 2010, Austin, Texas

• He helped me get the home I was looking for quickly and effortlessly on my behalf.

  He worked for me and used all of his resources to get me my mortgage at a very competitive rate…Thank you Max ‎Neil K., May 7, 2010, Austin, Texas

• We were referred to Max by a friend, and as first time homebuyers we were a little nervous.

  We had an idea of what we could afford on our monthly budget, but we had no idea what that meant in terms of getting a loan or making a down payment. Not to worry, Max explained everything to us, and thankfully he is very patient because we had lots of questions not just in the office but after we got home. Anytime we had a question, depending on the time of day, we would call him or email him and he always responded promptly. Go see Max! You won’t regret it. ‎

  E. & H. R., May 5, 2010, Austin, Texas

• We interviewed and reserached several lenders and brokers for our recent home purchase and decided to go with Max

  We chose Max because had very competitive rates, lots of positive reviews, and he was VERY RESPONSIVE. We were not disapppointed. The loan process was fast and painless. On closing day, there were no surprises. All the numbers and documents we had previously reviewed matched exactlay what we signed that day. We highly recommend Max to anybody looking to buy a home. ‎
  Martha & Chris R., May 4, 2010, Austin, Texas

• We had a great experience with Max

  He is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and helped us through our lending experience with patience and respect. We would highly recommend him to any of our friends!‎
  Kim & Rob, March 24, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max is an excellent lender

  He was attentive and worked expeditiously to get my loan approved. Before going to Max, I was working with Mark Abernathery of Capstar Lending. Mr. Abernathey literally treated me like scum. He yelled at me said things to truely hurt my feelings. I was in shock. However, Max changed all that. He approved me for almost double than what the other lender approved me for. He treated me with respect and kindness. I felt safe and reassured that he was on my side. Thank you Max for a smooth transaction and for ensuring that I got my first home!‎
  Sharesa A., March 23, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max was very helpful in the purchase of my new home.

  I used a VA loan and didn’t know very much about the process but Max and his team were there every step of the way coaching me on what to do next. The experience was very pleasent! I would recommend Max to anyone looking to buy a home!‎
  C.G., March 22, 2010, Kyle, Texas

• Max handled my original loan and just recently helped me re-finance that loan

  both experiences working with Max and his team were just tremendous. He is organized, timely, and is thoroughly knowledgeable in all aspects of the process. Max provided outstanding service, and went above and beyond expectations in dealing with other lenders in tying everything together to complete the refinance. Simply put, Max is the best lender I have ever worked with and has my strongest recommendation.‎
  Walter S., March 22, 2010, Austin, Texas

• We just bought our first home last month, and Max made the financing aspect as easy as it could possibly be

  Throughout our search, which was long and involved, he was happy to provide good-faith estimates, and he must have done so 10 or 15 times before we finally found the right home. Once we came to terms with the seller, we basically turned the process of procuring our mortgage over to Max and he saw it through every step of the way. I would feel perfectly comfortable recommending Max and his team to any friends or family who could use his services. He’s professional and courteous and quick to respond, and I believe he offers the same degree of service to everybody who he helps.‎
  Adam K., March 21, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max has handled two transactions for me:

  first, the financing of the purchasing of my townhome and then the refinancing of my mortgage. He is without a doubt one of the most competent, responsive, personable, and service-oriented professionals I have ever worked with. I was particularly impressed with how completely Max’s interests are aligned with that of his customers. For instance, he went over the figures with me to make sure that it would be advantageous to me to refinance. The fact that he would make more money if I chose to refinance was not his first concern. Rather, his concern was making sure that my best interests were served. He got me the lowest possible interest rate, and beat the competition. I have recommended Max to several of my friends, and all have been very pleased with his service.‎
  Ellen J., March 19, 2010, Austin, Texas

• I live in Dallas and was referred to Max through my sister-in-law who is a real estate agent in Austin

  He helped with a refi and got me such an incredible rate that I am actively looking for friends to refer to him. All of this was handled over the phone, email and fax. I never met him in person but had complete confidence along the way. My insurance agent had nothing but great things to say about Max and his staff, Megan and Janey, who were very thorough and patient with my poor filing cabinet skills. If you hear of anyone interested in mortgages this is the man you need to call.‎
  Glenn H., March 18, 2010, Dallas, TX

• I was very pleased with the entire process

  Max made sure I was well informed and enabled me to purchase my new home at a very reasonable rate. Max is a true professional! You cant go wrong with this guy.‎
  Nick R., March 18, 2010, Austin, TX

• Best lender in town

  This is our second dealing with Max, and both times he guided us through all the mountains of paperwork and forms to provide, find, and sign, and made a very stressful process into a manageable one. Everything worked out just like Max told us it would, or better! Pros: Very professional, friendly, and competent. Cons: This makes twice, and nothing bad!

• As we were preparing to buy our new house, we were also selling a house

  The buyers of our house were selling a house in Hawaii. It was a series of transactions that were dependent on each other and when the Hawaii deal started to fall apart, it was Max who stepped in and worked closely with our buyer’s buyer’s lender. He was in constant communication with them and he basically held their hands (and ours) through a very difficult and frustrating time. Max went above and beyond what normal lenders would do. It was a crazy roller coaster ride, but the end result was exactly what we wanted, we got our new house with a great interest rate and we sold our old house! We highly recommend Max!
  Carrie O., March 1, 2010, Austin, Texas

• I was a first time homebuyer at the end of 09.

  Max Leaman was referred to us by a close friend and we are so thankful! With all the stress of the homebuying process, max made the loan the easiest part of the experience. He was incredibly organized and he constantly updated us about everything. we didn’t even have to ask. He also got us an incredible rate. most of all, Max was accessible and answered questions thoroughly, demystifying the whole mortgage process. h even showed up to the closing to make sure everything was taken care of. great service! we have already recommended him to friends and will surely use him again for our next home.

• Max helped my wife and I get a loan to buy our house in 2006 and then helped us this year to refinance that loan to today’s lower rates

  Max is both a personable and a professional mortgage broker. When we wanted to explore the possibility of refinancing, he did an excellent job of thoroughly going through all our options without trying to influence our final decision. He promptly returned all our calls and e-mails, kept us informed all the way through the process, and helped set up for us the most convenient closing time and place. I would highly recommend Max if you are considering buying a home, refinancing your mortgage, or have any questions regarding a mortgage transaction.
  Anderw A., Febraury 24, 2010, Austin, Texas

• I bought my first house a month or two ago, and Max was really great about walking me through the mortgage process

  He was always accessible, and it seemed like he really wanted my business (unlike Wells Fargo and BOA, which just didn’t seem to care all that much). Not only did he have the best rates and lowest fees, but he was able to put the loan together in under three weeks. And it was totally painless. I was very impressed.

  Stephen H., Febraury 22, 2010, Austin, TX

• Max helped us with our mortgage in the summer of 2009 and I’m so pleased that we had the opportunity to work with him

  To start, we were living outside of the area and put in bids on more than one house. Each time Max was there to help us and make sure that this house would be the right fit (financially) for us to get into. Once we were in Austin and found the right house Max helped us to understand Texas property tax and other things that were different than our past experiences. He had a great relationship with our Realtor as well which made everything that much easier. He even came to our closing which I had never even heard of and had never witnessed in either of the two properties I had purchased in the house. I would highly recommend using Max and know that you’ll be well taken care of.

  Becca R., Febraury 11, 2010, Austin, TX

• My wife and I received countless recommendations to see Max for mortgage services, and we are most fortunate to have worked with him

  He took care of us in every way. He was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, informative, and found a way to get us exactly what we were looking for. He looked at every detail and examined every aspect of our lending needs; nothing was overlooked. If you are looking to get great service, you would be foolish not to utilize Max’s expertise. Even more than 2 years after purchasing our home, Max is always a phone call away to answer our questions and tend to our needs. When you go with Max, you have a lifelong partner of mortgage services.

  Thomas B., January 7, 2010, Austin, TX

• In the wake of the financial crisis and the housing bubbles I felt vindicated in my choice of loan officers

  The sound advice and the great service I received from Max left such an impression on me that I now recommend him to ALL of my family and friends. In fact, I just re-financed my house to take advantage of the shockingly low interest rates, and the second time around was even easier then the first! I can’t say enough good things about this guy, so you’ll just have to see for yourselves.

  Mike G., January 7, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max made our experience of buying our first home an absolute dream

  From our first encounter with him, we knew that he had our best interests at heart, that he’s in the mortgage brokerage business to help people have their dreams come true, and to ensure confidence. Plus, he has a great sense of humor and does his ultimate best to demystify the home-buying process. We have a wonderful home, an incredible rate and a clear understanding of the whole process. We cannot recommend Max enough!

  Charlotte & Dreux, January 5, 2010, Austin, Texas

• I could certainly trust him to be fair and accurate

  He was and still is. He even set an alarm to go off when the rates get low enough so we can refinance to have a lower mortgage. He’s a hell of a guy, and you can bet the ONLY one I’ll ever use in Austin.

  J.R., January 4, 2010, Austin, Texas

• Max Leaman is a true Austin Professional

  He is on top of his game but also has an easy going attitude. He kept us informed and we understood each step of the process to refinance our home. I highly recommend Mr Leaman to anyone who thinks they refinancing may be an option for them.

  L.W., December 23, 2009, Austin, TX

• Max guided me through the murky waters of mortgages with consumate professionalism

  As I was new to the whole mortgage process I was extremely aprehensive as to what would be involved and I envisaged lots of headaches and stress……I need not have worried as Max made it all so easy. He communicated with me daily, even if it was just to say “everything is in order”, and as I was out of the area this communication was much appreciated.

  Brian S., December 22, 2009, Austin, Texas

• My wife and I were first time buyers

  Max was enthusiastically recommended to us by a family member who was a client of his about five years ago.We were intimidated by the whole purchasing process, but Max made everything go swimmingly and was with us in every step. He was always available to answer questions and was very flexible to accommodate our needs. Thanks to Max, we are now homeowners.

  S.C., December 19, 2009, Austin, Texas

• We had already locked in a lender, however decided to give Max a call, just in case

  After talking with Max over the phone I set up a meeting with him the next day and immediately changed lenders and finally got that, “your being taken care of now” feeling. Max stayed late Friday night catering to our schedule (with our 4 month old baby) and made sure we understood everything before we left. 5 out of 5 stars from my family and I.

  K.S., Kyle, Texas – December 18, 2009

• Max was outstanding to work with during the home buying process

  His strong knowledge and professionalism put me at ease immediately being a first time home buyer. Additionally, he was always extremely responsive and helpful with all of my inquiries. I highly recommend using Max as your mortgage broker! You won’t be dissappointed!

  Mindy B., Austin, Texas – December 18, 2009

• Throughout the process he kept me updated

  and when I inquired about why he had not locked in my loan he said he thought rates would go down and he wanted to wait.The rates did fall and he locked in my loan at that time saving me more money. He could have locked it in at first and secured his end of the loan, but really did show he was working for me.

  Jim K., Bandera, Texas – December 17, 2009

• Max answered all of our questions

  was always calm, patient, and understanding when we bombarded him with worries or concerns. He will be our lender for life.

  Florencia K., Oct. 2009, Austin, Texas

  Alex R., Austin, Texas – December 14, 2009

  I was buying from Oregon and he made the entire process go as smoothly as I could hope for. His personal service was top-rate! Thanks Max

  Kenneth T., Manor, Texas – December 10, 2009

• He was extremely sharp and fast to respond to our questions and need.

  His knowledges and experiences helped calm us down, and made us feel that all our issues would be easily resolved. And they were! Max was also very friendly and attentive. He came to our closing to make sure everything went smoothly.

  Van L., Austin, Texas – December 7, 2009

• My wife and I closed on our first home earlier this year.

  Any concern I had was addressed quickly and accurately. I will work with Max again and I highly recommend him!

  Kris H., Nov. 25 2009, Cedar Park, Texas

• Max works hard, gets great rates, and suggests money or time-saving options

  He knows his business, is smart, honest, and professional. He is also extremely ethical and a great guy to work with.

  Dave Westerberg, Austin, Texas

• Max always responded to my e-mails and questions without delay

  which goes a long way in today’s instant gratification society.

  Sara M., Oct. 2009, Austin, Texas

• Max is a throwback to what doing business is supposed to be

  It is where honesty, integrity, and caring about your customers are always the way you do business, not the exception.

  Martin R., Oct. 2009, Austin, Texas

• I could not have been happier with my experience

  As a first-time home buyer, Max was patient and considerate, taking the time to walk me through the basics and explain the details of my loan, interest rates, closing process, etc – often more than once. He took calls and fielded emails at all hours, and has since followed up with me regularly to make sure everything continues to go smoothly.

  Seth L., September 2009, Austin, TX

• Max’s customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail are second to none

  (Not to mention his uncanny ability to know when to lock and when to float!) In my opinion, Max is undoubtedly the best in the Austin area.

  Kritina G., September 2009, Georgetown, TX

• Once the deal is done, he is still available for as long as you need, for whatever you need.

  I’ve come to rely on him not just to get a mortgage done, but as a trusted go-to guy for all my mortgage-related questions.

  Dan H., Austin, Texas

• Max was a pleasure to work with

  He was professional and knowledgeable. He was able to get our loan closed in record time – less than 2 weeks! Max is by far the best loan officer we have ever worked with and this was our fifth home purchase.

  It could not have been easier – he did everything for me. He is a genius, very reliable, efficient and smart!! Absolutely, he is the best!
