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 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 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.
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.
Max Leaman and his team are a pleasure to work with!

The underwriting process was simple and quick, Max took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions and I never felt pressured to take a loan for a higher amount.
My experience with the Leaman Team, was by far my best home buying exeriences I have had.

This is my second home purchase, my first home purchase was a nightmare and felt very disorganized to the point that I almost threw my hand up in the air and walked away from the entire deal.
From when I started working with Jori and the Leaman team from getting pre qualified and being very well informed of what I could really afford. And taking the time to break down what my payments would look like for real. Instead of just giving you a number and saying this is what you qualify for, then you get that surprise at the closing table.
I ask alot of questions and I am a 14 veteran which can mean I ask lots of questions. But regardless of the question the leaman team put alot of time and effort into answering all my questions to great extent, which keep me comfortable during my home buying process.
Jori is buy far the best that I have worked with when dealing with VA Lenders. Compared to my last home buying experience. I felt she really knew what she was doing! She simply gave a list of items I needed to get for her and that was that. She was definitely on the ball, I didn’t get asked for any additional copies of documents, statements that I had already submitted. Next thing you know I had a earlier closing date that I had hoped for and I was at the closing table prepared with no additional surprises. My opinion thats the way it should be!
So I would definitely recommend working with the Leaman Team especially if you are using a VA Cert.
I just wanted to let you know Jori did and exceptional job with my refi, and thus far I couldn’t be happier.

She was flexiblie with scheduling, offered a myriad of options allowing me to taylor the loan to my needs, and she was fun to work with! The process went very smoothly. I had a feeling you handled your hiring as well as you handle finance, and I was not disappointed. Thank you for maintaining such a high standard of quality within your organization, and with your staff. It was a pleasure doing business with you guys again, and I won’t hesitate to come back or to refer you guys out. Excellent job, thank you!
Great service, highly professional, great staff

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.
Pros: made a headache into a great experience
Max helped with everything I needed while going through the complicated home buying process.

Even when my ac leaked the day after I closed, by calming me down and helping me use my home warranty for the first time. I highly recommend him. He was always kind and very knowledgeable.
Max is a dedicated professional at what…

Jori answered every question we had about the home buying process and worked with us to get the best rate available. We worked with a couple other mortgage companies and banks to get competing rates, but we always came back to Jori! Highly recommended.
