Her performance was superb. She is very efficient . She would respond to my e-mails and phone calls promptly. On the day of my loan closing she was on vacation. But she called me to answer my questions before closing . After the closing she called me again to check if closing went well. She was ably assisted by Janey.

This has been my best experience with loan closing. Highly recommend this company to anyone.

I would recommend Leaman to anyone. I have bought many houses and they were the best mortgage team that I have ever used. They were both efficient and very professional. You will have no problems if you use the Leaman team.

Max Leaman and his team took care of me, got me a great deal, gave me fantastic advice about what kind of loan to get and why, and locked me in at a rate I can definitely live with. They were responsive, professional, and friendly from beginning to end

This is my second mortgage with the Leaman team and me and my wife came back to them for a good reason!

The first time, they came highly recommended from a friend of mine and they were great. The loan was processed very quickly and their interest rate was the best by almost half a percent!!! The second time, I foolishly tried working with another lender who was recommended by a family member, but the new loan wasn’t as straight forward as the first and things didn’t work out. Another family member recommended a second lender who was even less helpful. We were losing hope that we could get the mortgage we wanted at this point so we decided to ask Max for help. The team got on it like white on rice! Our loan officer worked with us closely and investigated many options for us until she found the best mortgage for us. Turns out one of the previous lenders told us we wouldn’t qualify for that type of loan, but he obviously didn’t know what he was talking about. We then worked with Janey Allcorn, our loan processor, to get all the paperwork completed and ready. She made sure all t’s were crossed and i’s dotted and kept me in check when I forgot something, which was often. Everything went smoothly and the loan closed much faster than we expected, even for a USDA loan which normally take quite a bit. Both my wife and I are very grateful to the Leaman Team for their excellent service and professionalism, not to mention their great interest rates! I don’t think we’ll need another loan for a while, but you can bet we’ll come back to the Leaman Team if we need to.

These guys are the best!

Jori and Bobbie handled my refinance and they went over the top for me and quickly answered ALL (there were a lot) of my questions. I also had a special circumstance that they worked around — all in just a few weeks. Great job Leaman team! THANK YOU!

I had LOTS of questions about every single part of the process, and either Max or someone from his team always responded right away and explained everything to me. Often times, Max would just call me to walk me through every step and ensure that I understood what was going on, exactly what I was signing, etc. For a single girl buying her first home, I really appreciated that :) I would 100% work with Max and his team again. They’re awesome!

I have used Max and his agency multiple times to close on homes.

Everyone in Austin should be going through the Leaman Team! Our realtor, Ryan Rodenbeck, put us in touch with Max when we started looking for our home. Our initial meeting with Max was relaxed and informative. He laid out what we could afford and what we would be comfortable with. Anytime we looked at a home that we were interested in, we would send the info over to Max and he would send us a summary of costs.

Even though I know the Leaman Team had countless customers while they were working with us, Max and his team made us feel like we were the only ones on their radar. This goes a long way, especially when you’re dealing with the largest purchase I’ve ever made. Thanks again Max and the team!

That’s when I found the Leaman team. I’ll admit I was surprised and a bit skeptical when they were so confidant of making the loan happen. They wanted to jump right in and kept reassuring us that we were great candidates for the mortgage we wanted.
And they delivered.
Throughout the entire process they were friendly, professional, thorough, and effective. We couldn’t be happier! We just finished unpacking the last of our boxes in our new house and it really wouldn’t have been possible without their help.
Thanks guys!

When purchasing my first home I started working with [another lender] directly to obtain my mortgage loan. I was finding it to be quite a nightmare working with them in general. I wasn’t sure if that was just the way buying a home was, but after talking to a few people I was recommended Max Leaman. I was a little hesitant to start over but after speaking with Max once, I decided to give him a try. That was the best decision I had made in a while. Talk about smooth and easy – night and day compared to working with [another lender]. Max and Team are very responsive and are on top of things. I know people that have had more hassle renting places then I did with my first home purchase.
Anyway, I have just finished my second home purchase and things went just as great as they did 4 years ago. Excellent experience once again. I only have Bank of America loan department to compare Max to, but I would never try anywhere else.

Max is very helpful and efficient. All his team is helpful.

Max was always available to answer my questions. He did not make me feel dumb even though some of my questions are pretty basic. He is so respectful and so competent. I am so glad I chose him over others to help me with my loan. Everything went so fast and so smoothly. He even showed up at the title company to shake my hand and congratulate me. Thanks Max you are awesome I appreciate everything you did.

Max and his team follow a concierge type service model, and that is quite rare in the loan business.

His team is attentive to detail, respects your time and can be trusted to get the job done.

You can be assured that once you have your application submitted, it is being looked at it by professionals who really care and know the importance of the task at hand.

It is one of the rarest experiences in which I knew that I do not have to be following up, since Max and his team are working as hard as possible to get you the best offer.

My experience was excellent and I am confident that Max and his team will exceed your expectations.

We began working with Max in late 2013 when we were considering moving from California to Austin.

He pre-qualified us a few times and worked through different scenarios with me as I considered employment offers from various companies and potential neighborhoods. Max collaborated with my real estate agent, and he was very patient. When we finally arrived in Austin, chose a house to purchase, and had an offer accepted… I threw him a curveball by getting a rate quote from another lender. Max reacted quickly and promised to match or beat the other lender’s rate and to also match the closing costs credit offered by the other lender. I decided to stick with Max, and two days before we closed I was THRILLED with my choice. Max called me up and told me that he was able to get me an even LOWER rate at NO additional cost! My wife and I were so pleased with our decision to stick with Max. He and his team handled everything wonderfully, and the whole home buying process was much smoother than I ever though it could be. Whether you’re doing a deal long-distance or in person, we highly recommend Max Leaman and his excellent Lending team!

Max set me up with a great mortgage.

Max and his team where super helpful explain what was happening and making sure that I did not pay more than I need for things like insurance and home warranty.

We went through a bad experience with another local lender and wasted a lot of time, energy and money. We were referred to Max by our Realtor and everything was instantly on track. He eased our frayed nerves from the previous lender and gave us the confidence we needed to make an offer on another home. We got an FHA loan and he was very knowledgeable about all of the ins and outs. We were kept informed about the entire process every step of the way. Any issues that came up were handled professionally and promptly by him and his staff. He has a well oiled machine running there and it shows! We will definitely be life-long clients.

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

I’m a landlord with a growing list of rental homes that I manage, and I’ve used many lenders over the years. Their fees are very reasonable and the rates they’ve quoted on mortgages are as low as I’ve seen, even surprisingly beating my credit union’s rates and some of the rates offered by companies that broadcast the various Austin real estate radio shows. But like many other reviewers on here have posted, the most important thing is transparency and communication. Their closing cost worksheets are very straight-forward and easy to understand. They’re not a fly-by-night internet mortgage company that makes me question whether I’m sending my money to con artists. Rates and fees don’t matter if the mortgage company fails to close the loan because the loan approval went sideways along the way. At the end of the day, many of the low-cost mortgage companies have become as efficient as they can and all their rates and fees are close to the same. What sets the Leaman team above the rest is I’m totally happy with their friendly service, and I trust their professionalism to ensure that my loan closes as planned and I don’t lose a great real estate deal.

I went straight to the Leaman Team after finding out about them.

Reading through what others said about their service I decided to not even shop around for other lenders. I am a first-time home buyer and I needed someone to ‘hold my hand’. I was accepted and welcomed and personally served by Jori Stern – one of the team members. The meeting was not long at all, no sales pitch, no rhetoric designed to sway me one way or the other – just straight honest info. And, most importantly, no promises that seemed hard to believe or unreal. Only what could really be done in my case was discussed. Long story short, an hour after our first and only-face-to-face meeting I had a letter of pre-qualification in my email box (with The Leaman Team a pre-qual letter has the power of pre-approval for other brokers and sellers in the know). Found a house that I liked and had to make an offer that very same evening. Jori provisoned me with a customized pre-qual letter to serve to the seller with my offer – that was done with one hour notice – – after business hours. Seller accepted, I was approved and closed in one month. The whole process went just like Jori said in my first meeting. Again, I have no experience in buying properties – this was my first one. But, I’ve heard and read ‘stories’. My story was as painless as it could be. Thank you Jori and Leaman Team!

We recently relocated from Maryland to Texas and had the pleasure of working with the Max Leaman Austin Mortgage team.

My own bank and other lending companies could not get me approve for the purchase amount that I needed, took days and days to “get me pre approved” and their communication was very poor. Enter Max Leaman Team. They are as good as advertised! From the beginning to the end their communication is top notch. Always returned my calls and emails and answered all my never ending questions. They were so patient and helpful. it was such a great experience that I also referred my sister to the Leaman team . They are honest people whos goals are to take care and help you!

Excellent, Jori was my loan officer and she was great – they were located in Austin and home purchase was in Houston area but that did not matter, I received better care from them than many past local finance companies! Communication was fast, accurate and very good, all personnel I dealt with at Max Leaman were aware of the mortgage details, so we did not have to start over every time I talked to someone new. As a self-employed person, I’m use to the extra documentation required and I figured it would much worse now than in past but Jori and her team really helped make it go very smoothly, it went much easier than I thought it would. Closed on time with no last minute surprises, I will use Max Leaman again and would highly recommend them to others.

I worked with Max Leaman to buy my first home, and my experience was truly extraordinary.

The level of professionalism, attentiveness, kindness and dedication that Max and his team give to their clients is second to none.

Max was able to get me closed on my condo in under 30 days, and was transparent and explanatory every step of the way. If I ever had a question, he answered his direct line (no going through a secretary) and he always treated me like I was his number one priority.

In an era of impersonal, digital, fast-paced and rushed interactions, I was so grateful to work with someone so hands-on and accessible.

This is truly an unparalleled group. I highly, highly, highly recommend Max Leaman!

(I’d never written a review before, but this experience required acknowledgement and needed to be shared so others can benefit from these phenomenal services!)

Once we decided to sell our existing home and purchase a new home, the timeline was very short but we successfully met the closing date with no delays.

I thought it was one of those “too good to be true” situations especially after being turned down for a mortgage from several lenders and banks. My husband I were looking to get a second mortgage (we use our first one as rental property back in NC) and had dreams of being home owners again here in Austin. Hurdle #1? I’m self employed, #2 my husband switched jobs(same field) within the last year and of course this being our second mortgage…well we weren’t exactly prime candidates for a mortgage approval. When I was contacted by the Leaman team she gave me the initial hope that I needed to start the process. During every step I was pretty apprehensive. I really was waiting for a phone call saying “oh sorry looks like we actually can’t approve you”..when it didn’t come… I was cautiously optimistic.

Perhaps I built the whole process up in my head as being this huge nightmare, but really finding our house was the biggest challenge. Everything happened very quickly and we were able to close within 30 days give or take. I will definitely use them again as well as recommend them to friends/family. If you have doubts about qualifying or you are self employed (which so many of us are now) I suggest giving them a call.

In moving to Austin area recently, we reached out to the Leaman team for an estimate on financing.

06/26/2014 by Tracey A.

We also contacted a bank with which we already do business to compare and with whom we had already secured a previous mortgage.

By far, the Leaman team, surpassed all expectations. They were professional, prompt, informative, and knowledgeable and although it took us more than four months to find a home, they were there every step of the way guiding us with information, facts, and figures that allowed us to make an informative and timely decision in the challenging housing market in Austin.

Jori Stern is outstanding and never missed a beat. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the level of communication from our bank. Jori often would answer emails within minutes; the bank would take days. As another reviewer pointed out, Jori consistently remains positive even though there were many times when the search for our next house seemed dismal.

Although we were hesitant at first not to use our bank, the great experience with the Leaman team made us wonder why we hadn’t accessed a private lender previously.

Without hesitation, my husband and I strongly would recommend the Leaman Team!

I was a first time home buyer, so I knew almost nothing of the process. On top of that, the condo that I put an offer in for ended up being non-warrantable which added a whole new set of loan rules and restrictions that most mortgage lenders wouldn’t even touch. I was able to secure the loan I needed and get advice during every step of the process. I was able to get a new lower interest rate during closing even after my loan had funded. I also ran into a small complication that needed to be resolved outside of business hours for an offer I put on a place. Jori responded to my email and put time in during her weekend to help me with what I needed. I couldn’t have picked a better company to use as a first time buyer. I will definitely use them again and have recommended them to friends.

Even if you already have a specific lender in mind, you should do yourself a favor and give Max Leaman a call anyways.

Max is a superhero.

An abbreviated version of my home-buying experience:

After a few months of searching, I finally found a condo that fit all of my needs. I was using my bank as my lender, and made an offer on the condo, which was promptly accepted. After accepting it, the bank realized that the condo wouldn’t qualify for my VA loan, and it wasn’t an approved condo for traditional financing either. My bank said I was pretty much stuck with an investment loan, with the wonderful terms of 5.75%, 5-year ARM, up to 11.75%. They said that it might be possible to get traditional financing, but this would require the HOA president filling out a ten-ish page questionnaire to determine eligibility.

Since I was three days into my option period, I started panicking. I called four lenders within the hour – Max being one of them.

After talking to Max, he said it didn’t sound like there would be a problem, but he would need to check a few things.

The next day, he had a loan application ready for me to sign. He had determined that the condo was eligible based on the mailing addresses of the owners (to see if they lived in the condo), and calling the HOA president (he might have done more, I’m not sure).

Two weeks later (over half-way through my contract period) – my bank and one of the other loan agencies STILL didn’t have enough information to determine if it was eligible. They were still twiddling their thumbs, waiting on the HOA president to fill this paperwork out.

About two weeks into the process, it comes back that there’s a problem with the HOA’s insurance. It was an umbrella policy that covered many condos throughout the US. This, according to new regulations, meant that it wasn’t available for traditional financing through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Max immediately went to work.

He spoke with the HOA president, then his insurance agent directly, to see if this could be resolved. The insurance agent said that she could not provide an acceptable policy, after a week of stalling. Max then contacted several other insurance agents, got quotes for comparable policies, and submitted them to the HOA president. He even called the HOA president several times to make sure things were going smoothly. Without him doing this, I would not have been able to get a loan for this condo.

And, to top it all off, he extended my rate lock-in for eleven days past the original period (since the contract had to be extended) without any charge.

So, yeah. If you’re buying a condo, I would definitely recommend Max.

Max Leaman Team is awesome. The end-to-end experience of working with them was very impressive.

This was a large project considering the current number of mortgages I had, the amount of people that needed to be involved, complying with the new laws that took effect in January 2013, and myself being in Afghanistan. I had contacted many Mortgage companies hoping to get this mission completed, only to be told sorry we can not help you, or no response at all.

I was nervous, about using a company I found online, but felt I had no other option. After doing an online search, the Leaman team was one of the companies that turned up. I called, and the person who answered was Jori. I explained to her what I was looking to accomplish, where I was, and the difficulties I am having. After I explained in detail what my goal was, Jori was more than willing to try and help me. Jori took her time, explained to me what the process was, what she would need at each phase of the process, and estimated the time frame to complete the process.

The whole Leaman Team worked on my project, always making me feel good about my decision, using Company I found online. The Leaman Team condensed my nine mortgages down to three, keeping me informed, and ease during the whole process, I cannot thank the whole Leaman team, Jori, Billie, and Mary enough for taking the time to help me accomplish my goal.

The process went so well, that just last week (6/17/2014) I complete another mortgage with the Leaman Team. Again I experience a professional team willing to help me achieve the goal I set.

I worked with what seems like pretty much the entire Leman Team.

They were also able to fund my non-warrantable condo which other lenders told me would be very difficult and even near impossible. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Since working with Max, I’ve heard from a couple well respected Realtors that Max is “King of condos” in Austin, so if you’re in the condo game, he’s who you should look up. But even if you’re not, he went WAY beyond and above expectations to help my parents and I each get our dream homes. Thanks so much Max!

Working with the Leaman team was great! I selected them because of their high ratings on the internet, and I was not disappointed.

After singing his praises, my realtor had recommended that we get a quote from Max directly. We are really glad we listened because after shopping around the loan with Max and other brokers, we chose Max for the following reasons:
– Very competitive rates
– Professional service and prompt communication
– Everyone on Max’s team acted like a consummate professional – they were friendly, organized and knowledegable
All in all, I would happily use Max Leaman again for a future loan. Thanks, Max!

We contacted her back in October and just just closed on our brand new home last Friday. From the very beginning we figured loan approval would be a long shot considering we’re self-employed. With guidance we accomplished more than we thought possible. We hit a few road bumps the last couple weeks where I was literally ready to go in postal mode but never got discouraged or lost hope. To say we were extremely excited at the closing would be an understatement. I can assure you that if it is possible The Lehman Team will find a way. We will not hesitate to refer everyone and anyone we know to this group. Ps….they will forever be on my Christmas card list!

We’ve used the Leaman team twice now and you will not be disappointed. I agree that this company is #1 in Austin.

We were very impressed with her promptness and her professionalism in getting our loan funded. Jori provided us various options on our loans and answered all our questions on them patiently. She provided comparisons between different options and was happy to explain what each line item was about when we had questions.

We’re from California and all our transactions were done remotely. Jori assisted us with our loan documents, document signing and through escrow. She made sure that even when she was out of town for a couple of days, we were taken care off by via her colleague.

Overall, we are very impressed with Jori and recommend her without any reservations.

Jori and her team were absolute amazing! Miracle workers! She worked non-stop to get my loan to go through.

So many brokers take forever (if ever) to return calls or emails. But with Jori and the Max Leaman team, I always got a response almost immediately. I can’t say enough good things about this group.

There were numerous nights, weekends and holidays that they made themselves available to us either via email or phone. Interactions with them are always extremely thorough and normalizing.

The reviews are spot on and definitely made buying my first home a breeze. I originally was looking in Austin but transferred the search to California. Max insisted he could still help out and I’m so glad I stayed. He always answered the phone or called me back promptly the same day. When I needed pre-approval letters for offers he emailed them to me in minutes, yes minutes. The whole team is ridiculously on top of their game.

Everyone, even my real estate agent, insisted on not using an out of state lender. After seeing how responsive and professional the Leaman team was, they all did a 180 and were flat out astonished with their level of service. My real estate agent stated Max was flat out the best lender he’s seen in 20 years of service.

They’ve got the best rates and I will use Max and the team to purchase my next home without a doubt!

The first person I contacted was Max to try and figure out our budget, so we could have a good idea of where to start.

I found Max and he exceeded my expectations every step of the way. Max was extremely responsive and thorough from day one. I emailed back and forth with Max over the course of a year, with a million questions, and he walked me through the entire process.

We finally found our dream house, and we felt so good about the amount for the down payment and our mortgage payment because Max helped us to set a realistic budget where we would be comfortable.

Once we decided to put an offer in, Max walked me through each line of our settlement statement and he explained everything in detail with me, which helped me to really have an understanding of where our money was going, and exactly how much we would need for closing on our house. When it came time to close, Max’s team had everything completed EARLY which is unheard of, and we were able to move into our new house before Christmas, which was amazing!

Max and his team were extremely professional, thorough, friendly, and most importantly, they walk you through the process step by step. Buying a house is one of the biggest decisions that you make in life, and it was such a joy to have a team that I could trust to help us through the crazy process of purchasing a home.
I would highly recommend Max to anyone looking to buy a house! I will not go to anyone else when the time comes to find a new house in the future.

I’m so glad to have found the Leaman Team. I worked primarily with Jori.

She communicated with me throughout the process and pushed things along. I’ve purchased a few investment properties in Houston in the past year and have dealt with 4 different lenders in that time. The Leaman Team is by far the best. They knew how to deal with investment property financing and didn’t give me the runaround with endless requests for documentation. We closed the cash-out refi right on time and they held their costs to exactly what they stated in their good-faith estimate.

Highly recommended!

The entire Leaman team bent over backwards to help us make our loan go as smoothly as possible (not always an easy feat when the sale of our old house was not yet finalized). I highly recommend The Leaman Team to anyone buying a house!

My situation was unusual due to the nature of the property I was purchasing; most of lender we contacted couldn’t handle this type of loan, but Max’s team was resourceful enough to provide the services I needed and gave me a below-average rate. Working with max and his team was not only productive but also very peasant, comfortable and fun. I’ve already recommended Lending to my friends.

I was working with another lender and very stressed due to my mortgage broker’s lack of performance and lack of focus. The home I was buying needed to close by the end of the year. Oddly enough, fate stepped in and I found Max.

I was calling my lender to have a very serious conversation and accidentally called Max’s number instead. I was ranting about being unhappy with Max (not realizing I had called the wrong guy) when Max interjected…”I think you may have the wrong number, but “I am” a mortgage broker and would be more than happy to help you” I explained that I was between a rock and a hard place, that changing brokers mid-stream would cause me to loose even more precious time. I shared the details of my situation and he said no problem “I can do it…I can make that deadline”….and he did. From that moment on the process was so easy. Everything happened…click…click…click…the parts just fell into place …allowing us to closed early.

Buying a home is stressful enough…make the money part easy and call Max Leaman to handle the loan on your new home.

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.

When I saw the 5-star rating for the Max Leaman team, I was leery of this based on working with mortgage lenders in the past.

I even hear horror stories of friends using big banks and not being able to close on time. My experience with the Leaman team was the exact opposite, thank goodness!

I chose to work with the Leaman team. I was glad I did

One of my “fears” about getting a mortgage is the underwriting process. On loans in the past, it always seemed like when the underwriters were asking for information, they needed it last week and were mad when you did not give them an immediate response. I started calling them every day to see what they needed since they threated my closing date.

When working with the Leaman underwriting team, they explained the underwriting process up front and were amazing to work with. And of course, we closed on time! Thank you Leaman team!

Working with Max and his team was a wonderful experience.

I started out thinking I was going to be a smart buyer and use one of those “online” mortgage brokers to find a good deal and process the home loan on my first ever home purchase.

Wow was that a mistake.

The other guys (whose name rhymes with “Frickin”) were really just low-rent sales people. When I had legitimate questions about my situation and my proposed loan they were slow to get back to me and didn’t give me straight answers.

Then I found Max Leaman.

Max’s team is second to none. Right after my first email conversation with a member of his team I felt more comfortable, and more like a person than with any other banks I’d spoken with.

I pretty much immediately filled out all of their prequalification items and had decided even before they gave me the rate that I was going to use them. The loan officer even identified something on my credit which HAD to be resolved prior to closing any loan — no one else had even mentioned this, and Max’s team pointed it out and provided advice on how to clear it up before I was ever obligated to do business with them.

Once I found my dream-home I promptly called the Leaman team and told them to get cranking on processing my loan — and crank they did! We closed in 30 days, and remember I’m a first time home buyer with an FHA loan and questionable previous credit. They made it happen!

Throughout the entire process I was kept informed, updated, and in-the-loop.

I really couldn’t ask for more out of a loan officer and I can’t recommend Max Leaman and team highly enough.

Max Leaman and his team refinanced our home mortagage.

My husband and I are extremely pleased with the service, professionalism and friendliness of the Prime Lending Team with Max Leaman.
We initially started with a different mortgage company and after a excuse after excuse of why the refinance of our mortagage contined to be postponed we finally told the company to close our file. That company took up an entire year of our lives…very aggravating.
Finally, after reading about Max Leaman at Prime Lending and his team we decided to contact them after canceling our loan with the other company. I was first caught off guard with how nice, friendly and understanding they were of our situation and they were really surprised and couldn’t understand why the other company could not close the loan.
Even before seeing our actual numbers and credit reports they told us that we would be closing on Nov 1 (30 days after initial contact). I was impressed but skeptical due to our most recent experience. During the process they were very easy to get ahold of, answered all of our questions promptly and did everything they said they would do on time.
To our pleasant surprise, we closed on Nov 1, the day that they quoted us during our first conversation. We were so excited we couldn’t believe it!!
I highly recommend without reservation Max Leaman and his team from Prime Lending for any mortgage/refinance services that you may need now or in the future.

Closed on-time in 25 days even with delays on the seller’s side and the Christmas holidays. Easy application, great communication on the process with regular updates, always available for questions, no last-minute changes or charges.

I started this process with my conventional bank and felt like I had to spend time and effort double checking everything as they kept getting my name/address/previous employment wrong. Assuming that all mortgage lenders are the same I didn’t really look for anything else until my realtor serendipitously put me in touch with Max.

With him there wasn’t a second of worry, everything happened so smoothly and efficiently. He anticipated every potential issue and addressed them quickly. When closing rolled by it couldn’t have gone more smoothly or quicker. It was such a great experience that I felt like I should be paying him more! It doesn’t seem right that such excellent service is priced so competitively :)

My wife and I are self-employed and were having trouble getting Chase, Bank Of America, etc to really go to bat for us. I found Max and decided to give him a shot – he was the only lender that actually appeared to WANT to help us. Self-employment can be tricky with our income vs. business income, etc, but he never once led us to believe it would be difficult to qualify. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home, no matter what situation they are in. The Team does great work and took care of us every step of the way. Thank you guys so much!

Provided mortgage brokerage services for my new home purchase.

I found Max Leaman and am glad I did. The entire process, from application to closing, was efficient and accurate – no issues whatsoever. I closed in about three weeks on a home purchase with a conventional loan.

I compared fees among many brokers and Max Leaman’s were the most competitive. Many other reputable and/or recommended mortgage brokerage services have a long list of junk fees with twenty different names and “costs” for the same junk (processing fee, application fee (the most offensive), settlement fee, document prep fee, administrative fee, underwriting fee….). Max Leaman’s fees are minimal and reasonable.

I’m in Houston, along with the house, the sellers, and the title company. Max Leaman is in Austin, which did not present a challenge:. all interaction with Max and team was done over the phone, email, and/or secured/encrypted Cisco mail.

My experience with the Leaman Team was excellent from start to finish. This was my first time buying a home.

I was really worried when the first lender told me they could only offer me an adjustable rate mortgage because the condo I was looking to buy was considered non-warrantable. My agent connected me with the Leaman Team and they were able to offer me a fixed rate mortgage with a good interest rate on the same property. I was relieved to say the least. Jori Stern was especially helpful. She answered all of my questions and was quick to respond to emails. The whole process went very smoothly. I highly recommend the Leaman Team.

Had a wonderful experience with Leaman group (I worked with Jori).

All my concerns and questions were promptly answered and she definitely made my purchase quick and easy. Even after my closing, she was very helpful. I would recommend them to anyone.

I was buying my first home recently and was looking to change my lender as my first was non-responsive after the initial quote.

The Leaman Team was recommended by my realtor, so I decided to go through them for my loan. I cannot begin to explain how well they took care of me throughout the entire process. made the entire loan process extremely smooth. She always made sure I stayed on track, thoroughly explained every document/detail, incredibly responsive, and always open and honest throughout the process. To top it off, they gave me a much better rate than I received with the first lender!

Great Job

This was the second time we used Prime Lending and I would do it again.

We used the Leaman Team to re-finance our home mortgage.

I started looking for a company to refinance my mortgage by doing a Google search. I sent an e-mail inquiry to the first listing on Google. Only a moment later, my telephone rings and I start a conversation with a fast-talking BS artist who quickly reminded me of the Used Car Dealer that I once worked for.

I did a quick Google search on that company. Nothing but complaints came up. I searched for comments on my current mortgage company, not one that I chose, but one that bought my loan from my previous lender. Again, nothing but complaints and problems came up.

So, I decided to search for the company that was rated the best A+. The Max Leaman Team came up.

I went to the Leaman Team web site and filled out their preliminary inquiry form. The next morning, I was contacted by Ms Jori Stearn. Jori worked with my wife and me all the way through the refinance process. She was very prompt, professional and kept in close contact with us all the way. They set a close date that was only about four weeks away from the date of my original contact with them. I had my doubts that we could really make that date, but it did happen just as Jori promised that it would!

Later on, after we had submitted the required financial information, we were contacted by Jori’s associate, Ms Janey Alcorn. Both Jori and Janey worked with us closely to acquire all the information that they needed. They gave us a very competitive rate and were very professional throughout the entire process.

A Notary Public service sent an agent to our home on the close date that was initially promised. All of the papers were signed and our loan was funded within the tight schedule that was originally promised.

The Leaman Team works like a well-oiled machine. They delivered what they promised. They were very prompt, professional and downright NICE throughout the process!

We could not have been happier and we would definitely use them again.
