Max and the Leaman Team are fabulous to work with!

Max and his team made me feel like they were walking alongside me in purchasing my first investment property. The people on his team were always available to answer questions, move the process forward and generally be on my side. The Leaman Team’s process is simple and stress-free. They are a joy to work with and I will be using them again!

I came to Prime Lending as a first-time home buyer, but they made the whole process much easier than I expected.

I worked with Jori, who was very dilligent about returning my calls/emails, even on the weekends. Since I was a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions, and she was patient and helpful in answering all of them. They made the preapproval process pretty painless, and when it came time to make offers, they were there to promptly answer any questions I had before we sent the offer to the selling agent. As soon as I got the contract on the house, she went the extra mile to help me lock in a lower rate before closing. This ended up saving me roughly half a percent on my rate, which was great. All the way to the closing process, they were there to make sure everything went smoothly. Now I’m in a home that I love and couldn’t be happier – thanks Jori!

Great! Of all the homes I’ve bought over the years, this was the best experience I’ve had with a mortgage loan officer.

Max was most attentive and responsive, this is a highly professional office which I recommend to all.

Provided home loan services.

From the beginning, prior to pre-approval Jori was over the top helpful. Jori and her staff helped with the purchase of our home in Texas while we were still living in Oregon. As you would expect, this could be a challenge at times. Not for Prime Lending. Communication was promptly answered. We knew we could contact Jori via e-mail or phone. Closed without any issues and when we requested to suddenly try to get our paperwork in order to close early, they said no problem we will do what we can. We closed a week early. My husband and I cannot express how painless buying our house in Texas became after deciding to use Prime Lending. Forever grateful.

After much of a research and a few conversations with different lenders, we decided to call Max Leaman.

Highly experienced, easy to talk to, always responded to our calls and emails, and most important, gave us the best rates.

During the process, we encountered some difficulties. However, they both were helpful as they worked hard in order to continue with the process and complete it as quick as possible.

Excellent Experience!

We’ve searched everywhere for a lender, now we have one for a lifetime.

You will likely read many reviews previous to ours. You will find that they praise the professionalism and timely performance of Max and his team. You will likely determine after reading many that the Leaman team may just be the best choice. Do not spend more time reading the reviews. Instead, spend the time calling Max and get a loan. After buying and selling homes in four different cities in the last 20 years, we have yet to come across a lender with this much skill and professionalism.

Here’s why we think he’s the best lender:

He studies your file thoroughly and tells you what is doable. He delivers when he says he will and will prepare you properly so he can. He replies quickly. He is upfront about your circumstances. His fees beat the major lenders. He does not surprise you with hidden costs and fees. His rates are just as competitive as other lenders. He will answer all of your questions. He knows what underwriting will approve, unlike a mortgage broker working with a multitude of lenders. He is there when you need him. When we did need him, he instantly got us a last-minute, deal-making pre-approval letter that led to our winning our new home against two other bidders-and he did that while on vacation!

He makes you feel secure about your loan through the entire process. If you prefer honesty, security and a loan, call Max. We will.

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.

Helped me refiance and obtain a home addition loan

The Leaman Team made it happen for me. I was looking on how to add on to our home. I called local credit unions the bigger well known banks, none of them would help me out. They were only interested in helping themselves, they would not answer my questions directly while trying to stear me into something I did not need. I found Leaman team and the rest is history. The Leaman team told me exactly what i could use and qualify for and were with me every step of the way all the way to the very end. Jori Stern was a pleasure to work with and I high recommend them to anyone.

The best lender in Austin!

The best lender in Austin! Absolutely amazing – wouldn’t go with anyone else on my next home. Kristin made it happen and I’m so appreciative for her walking me through everything (sometimes twice) and always being available for questions.

Helped us refinance our home. The transaction went as smoothly as can be.

The Leaman team handles everything electronically. They communicate very clearly and early in the process on any follow-up items needed to complete the transaction. Even responded to questions after hours. After going through a horrible experience two years ago trying to refinance my home – I was so pleased to find the Leaman team. They made a stressful process very easy. We will be repeat customers
