Max and his team were a pleasure to work with, and responded quickly at every turn to ensure the best rate and answer any questions.

Handled all details concerning my mortgage for my new home.

I found Max to be tremendously helpful and patient in his dealings with me. He answered all of my questions and really went out of his way to help me understand the process (I was a first-time home buyer). He was quick to respond to my questions and request for information. He made everything very easy and I didn’t have to worry about anything – he kept my best interests in mind. If I ever were to need another mortgage, I would go to him first! I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy a house.

Mortgage Refinance

Mortgage Refinance has become very complex and time consuming. The Leaman team went above and beyond to explain all aspects and necessary steps to complete my refinance. They were also very patient with my lack of understanding of all the rules and regualations required in the mortgage industry today. They gave me a list of everything they would need. Once I provided all the required information and documentation, they kept me informed of where we where in the process until completion.

We recently purchased a home and our experience with Max and his team was fantastic.

They provided excellent customer service, responded very quickly to questions or when we needed something from them. Working with Max was such a pleasure and I would highly recommend Max Leaman Austin Mortgage!

I am so grateful to the Leaman Team for their help with financing the purchase of my new home.

Location: Austin, Texas

Jori was especially helpful, going above and beyond to make sure I received the best rate, answering all of my questions promptly and for basically holding my hand through this nerve-wracking experience that I had embarked on solo and as a first-time home buyer. I highly recommend working with the Leaman Team; I can’t imagine having gone through this process with anyone else.

Our experience with the Leaman team was wonderful. We just bought our first home in Abilene TX.

Location: Abilene, TX

our loan office and our loan processer, were very helpful every step of the way. Unlike other companies that we talked to, where it seemed like a big chore to get a human response (days and days of leaving voicemails and emails with no answer), we almost always heard back from the Leaman Team on the same day. They also did a great job explaining what was going on, so that when we were waiting for things to go through, we knew exactly why.

I also want to note that they did a wonderful job with the distance. We never drove down to Austin – everything was done over the phone and through email, and it didn’t make the process difficult at all. I definitely recommend the Leaman Team to anyone anywhere in Texas who is looking to buy!

Jori + Janey = Complex loan made easy!

05/28/2013 by H.L.
Location: San Francisco, CA

We found the Leaman team through extensive online searching, and couldn’t be happier with our choice. We worked with Jori (loan officer) and Janey (loan processor). They are experienced, professional, friendly, and very prompt in answering our questions.

Our loan file is complex, but the Leaman team made the refinance of our investment condo seamless. The float-down offer is great! One week before closing, Jori lowered our inital locked rate of 3.625% to 3.375% at no cost to us. What a treat!

The final outcome: Five weeks after we submitted our refinance application, the Leaman team slashed our interest rate in half, lowered our monthly mortgage payment, and shortened our original loan term by 9 years! What else could one ask for in a mortgage broker or loan product? We highly recommend the Leaman team with four thumbs up!

My husband and I were moving into a house in San Antonio.

Location: San Antonio, Texas

We own a home in another city that we keep as a rental property and our financial situation is slightly complicated. The folks at Max Leaman were great. They were proactive, helpful and gave us advice on how to walk through the whole process. Even when we went back and forth on a close date, they were able to roll with us and were prepared regardless. The people there were very friendly and quick to respond to my questions. Amazing that we could do the whole thing without a single face-to-face meeting and there wasn’t a hitch anywhere. i would use them again and recommend them to anyone who asked.

We worked with Max and his team on our recent home purchase.

05/13/2013 by George J.
Location: Pflugerville, TX

Max was very responsive and made the process incredibly easy! Any questions we had were quickly answered and issues resolved, typically right away. I would not hesitate to recommend (or use) Max and his team for future purchases/re-fi’s.

Our financial advisor suggested that we refinance our home.

We proceeded with his recommended mortgage lender, and the entire experience was terrible. Frustrated, I took matters into my own hands, found Max Leaman – Prime Lending. Jori Stern handled the entire process, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The professionalism of this group can’t be beat! Every detail was handled carefully and swiftly. I strongly recommend this group and would use them again. I know my son will contact them when he purchases his first home.

Residential mortgage refinance.

05/10/2013 by Jerry W.
Location: Katy, TX

I refinanced my residence a few years ago. I used a major bank as my lender, primarily because they were the servicing agent for my mortgage at the time. My experience was so bad that I was reluctant to take advantage of today’s low interest rates. I vowed, “Never Again!”. Eventually, I decided I must take advantage of the interest market in spite of my fears of an unpleasant experience.

This time I selected Max Lehman – Prime Lending. I cannot say enough about what a smooth and professional experience the mortgage process was with them. I would rate my experience with Lehman as outstanding. I worked directly with Jori Stern, Loan Officer, and Janey Allcorn, Loan Processor. Both were courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, prompt, and dependable. Lehman furnished a competitive rate, reasonable closing fees, and great service. What a contrast to my prior big bank experience.

The good reviews are here for a reason. We also had a great experience with this agency on our refinance.

05/09/2013 by Dee C.
Location: Austin, TX

They treated us very well – in fact, when it came time to close, I was recovering from surgery, so they had someone come to our house with the paperwork so that we could close from the comfort of home rather than drive across town. The rate we got through them met and/or exceeded the rates I was quoted on many of the top-rated internet mortgage sites. I’d send my family here to get loans!

As a first time home owner I had no idea where to begin with the mortgage process.

05/02/2013 by Rebecca S.
Location: Austin, TX

Amy Kline from Cantera Real Estate recommended Max Leaman’s team and was more than happy with her recommendation. Obviously the process of buying a home especially your first can be overwhelming but team were just amazing and were so wonderful that my parents recently used them to refinance.

I have purchased multiple homes in the last 15 years and I can say that working with Prime Lending was one of the easiest processes I have worked

04/30/2013 by J.M.
Location: Buda, Texas

In fact, I was impressed and comfortable with the process enough through the first refinance that I refinanced again through them when the rates dropped enough to make it valuable to me again. professional, proactive, courteous and provided details for next steps at every point. The title firm they use for final paperwork is also top-notch. I cannot confirm that they are always the least expensive because after the first refinance with them I did not ‘shop around’ again. They are honest and trustworthy and if I needed to purchase a new house or refinance again, I would definitely go back to them. Easy and convenient as well. I did everything online or through email except the final signing day. If you are a busy professional worried about how to get this done in a convenient way without wanting to stress over getting ripped off, this is the place to go.

I chose to work with Max and the team in Austin even though I was buying a home in Houston.

04/29/2013 by G.B.
Location: Houston, Texas

I ultimately chose them after receiving three quotes (including theirs) at the beginning of my mortgage process. His fees were the most competitive. So, choosing was easy.

Max was exceptionally responsive, professional, warm, and prompt in every interaction from the beginning through the closing of my loan. We purchased a spec house which suffered from prolonged delays. This resulted in a very complex closing where our interest rate was locked over 60 days prior to close. Max and his team worked tirelessly with us to find solutions that would allow us to keep a great rate while minimizing any rate lock extension costs.Further, the appraiser had to be sent out numerous times and miscommunications between the builder required smoothing over on more than one occasion. Thus, I am confident that he and his team members spent much more time and energy on this loan than 95% of those they encounter in a given year. They rose to every challenge and invariably treated us with the utmost integrity, care, and flexibility.

In sum, I would recommend Max to anyone looking for a mortgage. I would trust him with my family and closest friends. Work with him and I promise you will be glad you did.

We contacted Prime Lending initially re: refinancing our home. We ended up moving and needed a new loan for a house.

Jori Stern is our contact and lending agent and she is outstanding. She worked with us and matched a lower interest rate with no points. We highly recommend working with Jori for any home financing or refinancing needs.

Jori Stern is outstanding. Great service and compatible interest rates.

Our daughter, who is a single mom, went through Max Leaman and they were great!

04/25/2013 by Mary M.
Location: Austin, TX

They were able to put her into a beautiful home using common sense values. They look at the person and not just the figures. They helped her in every way possible and made it happen. She is now the proud owner of a beautiful home. Thank you so much! Your company is fantastic!

I found Max Leaman in 2012 while searching around for lenders.

04/25/2013 by J.C.
Location: Austin, TX

I needed someone who would be able to close as quickly as possible, as I had to leave the country for several weeks. He rovided quick and fantastic service, and I was able to close on my property before I went overseas. However, while I was overseas, Fed Ex lost my closing documents at their shipment hub. It was disastrous, and I was told to find a US Embassy to re-sign the closing documents. Luckily, Max extend my closing date until I returned. Everything went as smooth as it could be.

Fast forward to 2013, I remember the great experience I had with Max. I decided to use them again to close on another house. Again, they provided great service and I closed right on time. I would recommend them to anyone, especially first time home buyers. I plan on using them on any future properties I plan to purchase. Coincidentally, I recently found out that one of my other friend also used Max for their purchases.

We had a fairly rough time finding a house. We put down 8 offers before finally finding our dream home.

04/25/2013 by Josh H.
Location: Austin, TX

Each time I contacted to make sure the numbers worked. Each time she was able to help me and thats not just where the whole Leaman team help stopped.

I was working with the seller on our current house, it was late, Friday evening and I emailed the Leaman team hoping to get a letter to help sweeten the deal…730pm on a Friday and Max is crunching numbers, while talking to me. It was the kind of experience where you are thinking to yourself…man, this guy really cares. Such a rare commodity today. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking to buy. Just a solid, great experience all around!

I am pleased to say that my experience with the Max Leaman Austin Mortage team was a super experience to say the least.

04/25/2013 by Marcus R.
Location: Austin, Texas

From beginning to the end of the process was stress-free.. It was very easy to communicate with the staff and the actual closing was actually quite enjoyable. I know it doesn t sound like I get out of the house very much, but I would highly recommend this organization in the event you would need their services. Don t waste your time with a second rate mortgage company. Why not just do it right the first time? I certainly did.

After finding them recommended, I started working with the Max Leaman team on a single home refinance in late December 2012

04/24/2013 by J.B.
Location: Keller, TX

My loan “funded” the first week of February 2013. They were actually ready to sign and fund the last week of January, but I was traveling that week. The entire process was handled professionaly and promptly via phone and secure emails. A notary was sent to my home at a time of my choosing to sign final documents. That was definitely the smoothest house finance/refinance experience I’ve ever had and recommend them to others without reservation. Thank you Max Leaman, Jori Stern, and Brittanie Graswich.

Do: Promptly respond to their requests for documents so that you can fund as quickly as possible.

Don’t: Stress about it. There’s a lot of paperwork, but they’ll work with you at your pace to get it all done.

Max provided us mortgage brokerage/financial services, from the start of our home buying process until closing.

04/24/2013 by M.F.
Location: Houston, Texas

We found Max to provide mortgage services for our parents. He did such a great job that we decided to use him as well. Max was prompt at returning calls, and was very efficient in his handling of the transaction from start to finish. We actually had to do very little work – just gathering typical documentation, and filling out an application. We did not have to submit paperwork or provide documentation multiple times, as with some brokers. He was always straight forward, and reassuring in our conversations – we never felt uneasy. Overall, it was an excellent experience and we highly recommend him.

I contacted Jori and she walked us through the process.

04/24/2013 by H.W.
Location: Fort Worth, Texas

She provided a GFE and my wife and I discussed it. We decided to move forward with the refinancing of our home using Max Leaman. The whole process took about 45 days and Jori contacted me via email at every steps of the process. It was simple and we closed on the date given to us at the beginning.

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

04/24/2013 by Z.H.
Location: Forney, Texas

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!

Two words: Max Rocks.

I was buying a condo and had an issue with the HOA, which was preventing me from getting financing. Luckily I was referred to Max, who not only found a way to make it happen, but did it in lightning speed. Max will do everything he can to help you out. I highly recommend him!

Max Leaman team was an awesome group to work with on refinancing my home mortgage.

04/05/2013 by J.D.
Location: Austin, TX

Jori and her co-workers were extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. The prices were lower than most of the other places I checked. Float down option they offer is good. And, they seemed very knowledgeable about the mortgage/refi process. They are up to date with electronic transfer and security so the documentation process is a snap. Very efficient and responsive so timeframe to refinace is small. Overall an excellent experience.

I emailed Prime Lending(Jan 24th) and within 15 minutes or so, I received a email response…

03/29/2013 by Jessica H.
Location: Austin, TX

…explaining the super easy process of filling out their online application.

That night my husband and I completed the application together and I had received response the very next morning with the next steps. They need a lot of information(all mortgage lenders do though!). I worked to gather all the appropriate paperwork and within two days they had all they needed.

When I say the process was “easy”, I’m serious- It was so easy, fast, & professional. Thankfully, it was and we were on to starting our home search. Just so happens that we fell in love with the first home we saw- I know, crazy but we did.

After a night of “sleeping on it”, we decided to place an offer. Within two days our offer was accepted and the process was in full swing. we needed a per-approval letter to include with our offer. Max stepped right in and was able to provide us with what we needed that very day.

After our offer was accepted and Inspection was done, it was the waiting period- loan to be accepted. As a first time home-buyer this was the most nerve racking part for me. I knew that we could do it and my financials were all in order(I’m kind of OCD when it comes to my credit/financials, etc) but I had this crazy fear that the lender would come back and tell me my dreams were crushed and I couldn’t have this home that I wanted so badly.

We had set our closing date to March 15th and as I waited for the final email from the title company with confirmation/amount needed at closing, I was excited, nervous and ready to be in our new home.

I kept saying to my family and friends, “This process has been too smooth, I’m just waiting for a shoe to drop.” Well guess what- the shoe NEVER dropped. Prime Lending, our Realtor(Annie Bright), Inspection(Shoal Creek Inspection) & Title Company(Capital Title) were all on top of it.

After hearing so many horror stories of first time home buying experiences, I was nervous to jump right in, but I’m so glad we did. My experience was fantastic and a huge part of that is because of Prime Lending.

I will be recommending them to my friends and family for years to come.

Closing was on time, went flawlessly and we are now in our new home that we LOVE!

PS: Their rates seriously are the best!

We refinanced our 6.5% mortgage to a 3.625% mortgage.

03/12/2013 by John K.
Location: Frisco, Texas

From first contact on 1/18 to the closing on 3/1 and funding of the mortgage on 3/6, the process was smooth, painless, and had none of the usual ‘surprises’.

We tried to refinance in mid 2010 shooting for a rate around 4.875%. We worked with one of Dave Brennan’s recommended firms, but found the required PMI costs would rise to $160/mo from our current $61 on a 6.5% mortgage. That plus closing costs of over $5000, not counting escrow deposits, reduced the savings too much, so we did nothing.
late Jan 2013, with rates now in the 3.5 – 3.625% range, we decided to try again. I provided this to each of four candidate lenders: Home value based on realtor’s comp study, mortgage balance, credit score for wife and myself, w-2 and 1099 incomes, debts, annual real estate tax and insurance costs. I told each I wanted to get written ballpark quotes – cost per month, escrow requirements, estimated closing costs; then I would pick one or two to proceed with formal refinance application.
Costco: I found out Costco was contracting with banks and with an Executive Costco Membership, their handling fees would be maxed at about $500. As soon as I requested a quote and submitted basic facts, I received a call from Bank of the Internet within minutes. They were able to provide verbal rough quotes on monthly costs, stated I needed $100/mo PMI, and mortgage amount needed, but could not or would not provide detail closing costs, which looked like $4K based on other numbers. But after that first call, I could never talk to the rep in person and exchanged emails and voice mails and played phone tag. They were quoting 3.625%
A 2nd bank recommended by Costco also called almost immediately, and gave me rough verbal estimates. This one also said I needed PMI for about $100/mo. Quote was 3.625%. Quoted closing costs were vague.
Navy Federal Credit Union – my main bank – I called in, gave enough facts over the phone to submit a rough quote request, and received an emailed detailed quote the next day. But it included exhorbitant max numbers such as a $2000 survey charge, $500 appraisal, too many months of escrow, etc., which totally turned me off. No one ever followed up by phone or email, ever. Quote was 6.25%. I know they were quoting on the high end, but this was ridiculous.
Then I found Max Leaman, and submitted quote request about noon, Friday 1/18. I received a reply soon, and a call from Jori Stern. I discussed my desires and facts with her, and had numbers from her that afternoon. I had given her the comp analysis from my realtor friend and she assured me that PMI was not needed. I received answers on Sat, and by Monday was given a written quote with closing costs in the range of $3100, not counting escrow. By Tuesday, 1/20, I was emailing past tax returns, pay stubs, etc. Jori was always prompt in her replies, and gave me sound advice on whether I should buy down the rate with points (not worth it) and on other issues. We were shooting for a 3/1 closing date. With their low closing costs and the absence of PMI, our mortgage cost per month, including escrow for tax and insurance will be about 29% lower and the savings will pay for the cost of refinancing in about 9 months. By 2/5, Jori had confirmed a target close date of 3/1/2013.
Over the next week Jori promptly emailed answers to any questions I had and kept me informed of the status of our mortgage
In Mid Feb Jori told me my Loan Processor. promptly contacted me, and asked for a few more documents.
Then I was contacted by Bryan Adair of Patten Law, which was handling the Title, letting me know when the notary public man would conveniently visit us in our home at a time of our choosing to sign the paperwork. We did not have to go to a title company office. Paperwork was signed in about 30 minutes on 3/1. On 3/7 Jori let me know the mortgage had been funded. The notary handed us a DVD with all of the documents on 3/1, and on 3/4 Bryan Adair emailed us copies of the 140 pages of signed documents

Throughout this process, everyone we dealt with – Jori Stern, Patten Law, and the notary public – were professional, knowledgeable,courteous, and efficient. Overall, I probably spent no more than 3 hours on this, primarily gathering,scanning, and emailing the initial set of income, tax return, employment and other documentation. I really felt like a customer in the hands of professionals.

Max Leaman and his team at Prime Lending provided me with the required service and support to refinance my home mortgage.

03/12/2013 by Claudio O.
Location: Dallas, TX

Max has already handled three different financing processes for me to buy ,refinance and invest.
Prime Lending handles the whole process, starting with my call where I explain what my needs are, they then take on and manage the full process till closing, taking care of asset appraisal, inspections, title works and whatever else takes to complete the process in a professional manner.
No hassle, no surprise and quick closing. That is what Max Leaman and his team have offered me.
Working for a foreign company I’m an out-of-the-box case since my paperwork is not the standard one that may be required for any other US citizen working for a US firm. Here is where Max and his team have made the greatest difference by showing a great deal of capabilities to run a custom process within record time and being able to get underwriter acceptance at the first attempt.
Max has been able to understand the specifics of my case, guided me through the process, briefed and advised on the best approach to use.
I’m very impressed with the willing to work and to provide an excellent service that the team has showed at any step of the process.

My husband and I were shopping around online and came across Max Leaman team. We decided to give him a call and we’re very glad we did.

03/07/2013 by T.V.
Location: Round Rock, TX

Max is very funny, yet professional. His fees are lower. He acts fast, responds on time and returns our calls every single time. We also had a chance to work with Max’s teammate and she is always on top of things. Having been working with this team, it was more than a pleasant business experience for us. We are first time home buyers and we loved the services we have received. Everything went smoothly. We were able to close earlier than we anticipated it would be, and the team has helped to make it happened. I am writing this review sitting in my new home and we love it very much. We already have recommended Max Leaman team to all of my friends and the people we know. If you are shopping around for a great lender with lower fees, drop this team a call; it’s totally worth it!

provided my mortgage refinance.

03/07/2013 by D.G.
Location: Mansfield, TX

This enabled me to take advantage of the lower interest rates, in my case from a 5.75% loan to a 30-yr, almost zero closing cost, 3.875% rate. Lower rates were available but I wanted to keep closing costs as low as possible.

Jori Stern knows customer service. She was always very prompt in responding to my questions, provided straight forward help, and most importantly to me she never badgered me on making a commitment. Prior to dealing to her I discussed refinancing with a number of brokers from other companies that could sometimes out do the worst of any used car dealer.

The whole process took just over a month from the time I had her lock in my rate. Was also pleasantly surprised right at closing when she was able to drop the rate I had originally signed up for! (The float down option helped). Very pleased with my experience and results.

I refinanced an investment house. Their service was excellent from start to finish. The fees were reasonable.

03/07/2013 by P.R.
Location: Houston, TX

They are the nicest and most efficient people I have ever dealt with in this type of business. They actually (closed) did better than they they said (preliminary estimate)!

Refinance went very smoothly.

Refinanced home mortgage. Everyone we worked with througout the process was professional and responsive.

Location: Dallas, TX

I was a little concerned with using out of town company but it was not an issue. The process was easy, we got a good interest rate, we were able to send our documents securely and it was convenient to have the notary come to our home to sign the papers rather than having to go to the title company office.

I worked with Jori Stern on the refinance of our home. I was a very pleasant experience.

03/07/2013 by David G.
Location: Austin, TX

Jori provided every assistance imaginable to help us complete the application process and to close the loan. She was with us throughout the entire process. I can’t see how this refinance could have been done quicker of more professionally. I highly recommend Jori and Max Leaman Austin Mortgage.

As a first time home buyer with only a few years of credit history and self-employed, I was certain getting financing would be challenging.

03/07/2013 by Nick W.
Location: Austin, Texas

I found Max, gave him a call and he personally walked me through the process. Within a day I was pre-approved and ready to go house shopping.
Him and his team where fast, friendly and responsive through out the entire process, as well as super helpful in explaining the different options available. Not only that the rate was awesome too. That’s three thumbs up.

I was not disappointed at all. They were fast, efficient, and professional.

03/01/2013 by Amanda C.
Location: Austin, TX

Their fees are extremely reasonable if not exceeded my expectations on what I was going to pay on a refinance.

I had the pleasure of buying my first house with Max and he made the endless maze of paperwork and obstacles seem like a cakewalk

03/01/2013 by John G.
Location: Austin, TX

He worked closely with my Realtor and helped me find the right financial arrangement to fit my situation. I can safely say that my home buying experience was smooth and simple with Max’s expert guidance. I would recommend him to anyone trying to buy in the Austin area! Subsequent to the above review, I have also refinanced my house with the Leaman group and again, they were fantastic. Jori Stern, who handled my account, was exceptional at every step working with me to ensure that I understood what was happening and helping me to get through the tangle of paperwork that has to be coordinated to successfully complete the refinancing process. 5 years after buying my house I still can think of no one else I would recommend above the Leaman Group for your finance needs! If I ever refinance again (doubtful because Jori got me such a great deal!) or buy another house they will be my first choice.

Over the past 4 years I have worked with Max Leaman’s team on 2 home purchases and 2 refinances.

02/28/2013 by Jesse S.
Location: Austin, TX

Each time the process went very smooth and we were funded ahead of schedule. Over the course of these processes I have worked with Max, Jori personally and found them to be responsive, flexible, and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone and have referred them to friends.

My husband and I worked with Max and his team to secure a mortgage for the purchase of an investment property in South Austin.

Location: Austin
Neighborhood: South Austin

Max was extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly and best of all – got us a killer rate that couldn’t be beat! Additionally, his processor Janey was a pleasure to work with and got our loan approved so fast we were able to close several days ahead of our requested schedule. Max will be the first person we call when we need another mortgage in the future.

AMAZING!!! My husband and I had such a lovely experience.

02/20/2013 by Jessica T.
Location: Austin, TX

She really took the time to break everything down for us and explain everything in terms us first time home buyers can really understand. I think we called her at least 10 times throughout the process and she never made us feel like we were a bother to her.

We got an incredible rate (USDA home loan) and the entire process went so smoothly, we were left wondering why we hadn’t tried to buy a home earlier!

We would give the Max Leaman Team much more than 5 stars! Go see them if you want a smooth, painless lending experience, especially if you are a first time home buyer.

After very frustrating responses from several lenders and mortgage companies, including GMAC my current loan servicer, I called Max Leaman

02/13/2013 by J.A.
Location: Plano, TX

From start to finish, they were friendly, helpful, and upfront about refinancing my home. I had difficulty getting Good Faith Estimates from other companies, but Max Leaman Prime was honest and true to their word.
Jori was very easy to work with always responsive to calls and emails.
I had totally dreaded the process. If I had known how easy refinancing would be with Max Leaman, I would have done it long ago.

Oh, and did I mention they also offered me the best rate? I was very satisfied and would highly recommend Max Leaman Prime Lending to anyone in need of mortgage services!

They were able to do what two other companies could not. Jori, I can’t thank you enough for making the process simple, quick, and painless. Plus, you kept me updated on a regular basis so I was never in the dark. I have recommended you highly to friends and acquaintances.

Great experience. I was in the position of having to base my pending home purchase on primarily self-employment income. There were other mitigating factors as well. The combination of these factors created a lot of uneasiness. I called a few other brokers prior to placing a call to Max. He was very personable and easy to talk to from the onset. My conversations with him were preliminary as he laid the groundwork as to what to expect and any difficulties I may encounter in obtaining a loan.

Regarding price, the team provide a generous closing credit in exchange for a small bump in my rate and in order to match another quote I received from an online lender. I much preferred working with someone local, especially a group with such a positive reputation…so their price flexibility made my decision easy.

Of all the professionals I dealt with in the home buying process, is the one entity I have no hesitation in recommending to friends, family, and the community.

Fantastic experience! Best refinance rate out there.

I specifically asked for Jori Stern since I liked what I had read about her work. I was not disappointed in the least.

From start to finish, Jori was extremely responsive to questions, and responded to her emails almost immediately. Jori always gave straight answers without leaving me feeling like I was talking to someone trying to pressure me or trying to sell me something.

Even though Prime Lending is based out of Austin, I did all of our business over the phone and email and it couldn’t have been more stress/hassle free. At closing, they sent out a notary to my home at my convenience and we signed all of the closing documents in my kitchen. The notary left me a CD ROM with all of the documents I signed on there as PDF files. I didn’t have to pay anything out of pocket.

This is my second refinance and I was so impressed by Jori’s service and attention to detail combined with outstanding customer service, that I can tell you I will never use another lending company for a home purchase or refinance so long as Jori works in this business. My wife and I plan on purchasing another home within the next 5-7 years and I hope that Jori is still in the business at that time.

I have already personally recommended her and this company to several co-employees. Go with this company, specifically Jori, and you will not be disappointed!

Max Leaman Austin Mortgage was reccomended to us by our outstanding Realtor Kim Horther .

We challenged the team with a request to close our purchase a day after the close on the sale of our current home. They were extremely responsive during the entire process and went the extra mile to ensure the transaction completed on time. Overall, team did a great job. We would not hesitate to recommend or use their services again.

They were our lenders for our first home, and like everyone says, Max were the BEST!

They got us an amazing rate, worked with us on everything we had questions or problems understanding, and were very available via phone and email. Could not be happier.

They sold the loan to WF, but still write us/send xmas cards/send us tax paperwork etc. They are very thorough, thoughtful and overall AMAZING!

Will most certainly use them again!

Max was fantastic. He got us a competitive mortgage rate even matching a quote from one of the big nameless, faceless national chains.

He helped move things along quickly such that we closed a critical week early so we could get painting done before we moved in. And he even showed up to the closing to make sure everything went smoothly and the money came through.

In addition to all of that he was friendly, fast and everyone in his office was very responsive whether it was over the phone or email. Really, he was as good as I could have imagined any lender being and better than I ever expected my lender to be.

If you go with anyone else, you are wasting valuable time.

Getting a loan is not only hard work, but also very stressful. Max and his team have a way of minimizing the impact and maximizing results. My wife and I are very pleased with the level of service and ease, and we are now enjoying our new home. I would recommend Max in a heartbeat!

The entire experience was of the highest quality. Every question was answered promptly and professionally, every request was made respectively and responses acknowledged with a thank you. Even though I am in Dallas the entire process was easily handled over email and the phone. I didn’t even have to leave my house for the closing, the notary came to me! Its such a pleasure to use the services of such a high quality business. Based on my experience I would highly recommend them to anyone shopping for a mortgage or refinance.

Max and his team are amazing. I cannot say enough good things about how professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with he (and his team) is.

…offered unparalled customer service, and excellent rates.

At closing my realtor and the title insurance rep commented on how impressed they were with the Leaman Prime Mortgage Team. I did my research and I’m glad we choose to go with a smaller shop – we got the very same great rates and excellent customer service. So if you’re looking for a mortgage broker, look no further.

I found Max Leaman to be very efficient, proficient and always available to answer my questions.

Max helped secure the financing I needed to purchase a new home in late 2012, I got a fantastic rate, had no surprises @ closing and they literally took the stress out of closing. I would highly recommend using Max as your next mortgage broker.

Jori Stern and the Max Leaman team helped us with refinancing our home.

From the original contact in August 2012 to the final closing in October 2012, Jori took us step by step through the refinancing process. All aspects of the refinancing were clearly explained and handled, and everything was completed in a professional manner. We were very satisfied with the whole process and would wholeheartedly recommend Jori and the Max Leaman team for any mortgage needs.

Max is Top Notch

01/01/2013 by David S.
Location: Austin
Neighborhood: Crestview

I first worked with Max about a year ago when he came highly recommended by our outstanding real estate agent, Arlene Maze. Max and his team proved to be not only consummate professionals, but Max is also a joy to work with and brings good humor to what might otherwise be dreary business. He offered extensive knowledge of financing a home, was very personable and pleasant to work with, was fast and efficient in processing the loan for a quick closing, and his fees were very reasonable if not low. What more could you ask for?

Based on this excellent experience, Max was an obvious choice when we signed a contract on a condominium last fall, with our son as a co-owner. Because our son had low income, and the seller was an investment group that had foreclosed on the property and had just converted it from a duplex to condos, this deal was considerably more complicated than usual. Despite numerous difficulties, Max came through with flying colors. First he lined up financing that had been difficult to obtain due to our son’s credit status, and then he went to bat for us with the lender and got us a lower interest rate than competitors could provide. Then he waded through multiple hassles with the seller and their marginally competent closing agent, and still brought the deal in on time, all at a bargain price.

If I ever buy another piece of property, I will certainly be calling Max Leaman for the financing.

Financed the purchase of a primary residence (approx. $100K purchase price) in Garland, TX.

12/28/2012 by C.S.
Location: Garland, TX

Although I have a bias in favor of local companies, I included Max Leamon as one of the companies I asked for quotes.

From first contact to wrapping up loose ends after closing, Max Leamon in Austin managed our application and financing process without missing a step. I had intended to do business with another broker, and was simply getting other quotes on rates, etc., as a matter of good business.

Although PL-Leamon is located in Austin (we are in Garland), we quickly established an excellent working relationship via phone and email. outstanding communicators — I’ve never before experienced the level of communication they maintained, keeping me informed, answering questions — it’s all been prompt, clear, accurate, personable.
The entire process moved forward quickly, without a single delay, miscommunication, or unpleasant surprise. Not only did they meet all promised deadlines, but in some cases, they exceeded them. When the inevitable minor hitches came up (e.g., an address missing for a former mortgage, an unconventional survey), they called immediately and worked with me to solve the problems in the most efficient way possible.
Don’t mistake this company as a mortgage mill, however. They are thorough and professional — you and the property have to truly qualify, which is (as we all know) in everyone’s best interests.

I am always glad to share “con’s” in reviews, but this transaction was all “pro’s.” As for do’s and dont’s — I’d just say DO give Max Leaman a chance to tell you what they can do for you and compare it with others you are considering; if you go with them, for the best result, be prepared to be a good team member — be responsive in getting accurate info and documents to them when they ask and keep the communication open.
I will probably always get more than one quote when financing property, but will be at the top of the shortlist of possibilities, and I’d expect them to get my business every time, after this experience.

I chose Max Leaman and I do not regret that decison. From start to finish, it was an informative and hassle-free process. Jori was fantastic in terms of her responsiveness and in securing the lowest interest rate possible. I liked that everything was taken care of through their website and via phone calls – the only time I met anyone in person was at the actual closing, which went without a hitch. I highly recommend using them.

My experience with Max Leaman Austin Mortgage was quite pleasent and quick.

I’ve tried before to refinance my house in Leander TX and ran into several bad mortgage companies and a slew of bad advice. With the Max Leaman group I was able to refinance my house in a short amount of time with the help of a knowledgeable and friendly staff. Big kudos to their Senior Loan Officer, Jori Stern.

Prime Lending provided mortgage brokering services for a rental property purchase in Texas.

12/26/2012 by P.R.
Location: Austin

We located Prime Lending to assist us in securing a mortgage on a rental property we purchased in Texas. Since we do not live in Texas they helped us navigate the borrowing process. This was our first purchase of a rental property and given we are out of state the whole process went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Prime Lending.

We were new to the area. Max was highly rated so we went with him and we are glad we did.

Location: Cedar Park, TX

The process was straight forward. I brought in the documents I had. Max laid out our options and told us what else we needed. We provided that and the rest just went smoothly.

But our choice of Max really paid off when we ended up putting an offer on a house that already had three other offers on it. The seller’s agent asked who our mortgage lender was and when we said Max our name went to the top of the list because of Max’s reputation. We got the house. Thanks Max.

Jori was great from beginning to end. As soon as I talked to her on the phone I knew she was a no bull kind of person. In fact, I knew I was going with this company the second I talked to Jori. Not once did I feel like I was talking to a car salesman unlike other mortgage companies. Jori explained everything clearly and in detail. Email communication was excellent and closing was surprisingly easy! They came to me at my house to close and it only took 30 minutes.

Max Leaman is an awesome example of what a business should be. Great service, awesome people, and I even saved $400 a month with the refinance. These are the kind of people we all should keep in business. Very happy with them!

Our realtor recommended we use. From the moment that we walked in the office, we felt at ease. We were very nervous about the prospect of home ownership. By the time we left the office that day, we were much more confident with the entire process.

The rest is as they say, history. we couldn’t be happier. We would definitely use this group if we need their services again.

I went to Max based on this review. This was my first house and I had an unbelievable amount of questions and concerns.

He was so responsive in helping us understand the process or when we needed changes based on our contracts. In one week, I think we had over 15 requests and they answered all our questions within minutes and was always positive and helpful.

The rate we got for our mortgage was better than any other lender or bank offered. People are still surprised when they hear what rate we got. You will not be disappointed with Max and team. They really made this whole experience awesome.

Jori and her co-workers were extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. The prices were lower than most of the other places I checked. Float down option they offer is good. And, they seemed very knowledgeable about the mortgage/refi process. They are up to date with electronic transfer and security so the documentation process is a snap. Very efficient and responsive so timeframe to refinace is small. Overall an excellent experience.

She was up front about the schedule that was required and ensured we stayed on track to meet the schedule. Jori was very responsive to all my communications. I was able to secure a competitive rate while working with a professional company. They were also able to work with clients with more than 4 financed properties which is my situation. I will be refinancing another property with them soon.

Jori was fantastic about communicating promptly and answering our questions completely. Jori gave us a closing date early in the process and we actually closed on that date with no problems. I highly recommend Jori and Max Leaman’s team.

To put it simply, Max is pretty amazing…. Fast, convenient, efficient and friendly.

Without reservation or hesitation would I recommend him to anyone I know. I am actually going to formally start the process to get my sister’s house refinanced and she doesn’t even live in Austin! He is just an all around nice professional guy.

Jori and the entire team at Max Leaman were outstanding and made the process incredibly painless. None of the other brokers in town could even get close to their competitive rates/fees. Do yourself a favor next time you’re mortgage shopping, and contact the Leaman team. Don’t waste your time anywhere else!

Max and the whole team made purchasing our first home as easy as can be.

Emails were always responded to promptly, and the Leaman team’s customer service was topnotch. We closed with an unbelievably low rate, and there were no surprises at or leading up to closing. Max explained the entire mortgage process. Moreover, my wife and I put in an offer on a house that had four other offers submitted within the first 24 hours of being listed on the MLS. Later that week, our offer was accepted of multiple other offers. Several offers were almost identical to ours, but the seller’s agent said that that the reputation of team Leaman (as well as the reputation and skill of our Agent, Mark Strub) for smooth closings tipped the sellers to choose our offer. After hearing a few closing horror stories, we’re glad that we chose Max and his team to help us close without stress.

I worked with Jori Stern on refinancing both properties. I have five properties, which makes underwriting difficult to impossible, and she and her group were able to accommodate my needs on time with no catches. They were responsive in answering any questions and providing status updates on the loan. Jori also helped me determine the optimal origination points to pay when closing, and offer suggestions on the principal balance of my new loans.

I was very pleased with his level of customer service, which was especially important to me as a first-time homebuyer. I had many questions through the process, but Max or someone on his team was always able to respond promptly, frequently via email, which is important to me, as I try to avoid talking on the phone if I can.

Buying a home is one of the most complex things an individual can take on, but with Max working with me, I always knew what was going on every step of the way. I highly recommend working with him.

I am FINALLY getting around to writing this review that I should have written a few months ago.

You know what reminded me? The card I received in the mail for my birthday with a $5 Starbucks gift card. Not bad, eh?

Max and team were great. My wife and I bought our first home this summer and they guided us through the loan process. To start, they asked us questions about our price range and offered estimates of what the initial fees and monthly costs would be for each loan. This helped us greatly when we finally found a place since it gave us a nice ballpark of our payments.

When we found our home they were quick and efficient with their document requests and made the loan process a breeze. The rate was competitive and the closing was simple. Great first time home buying experience.

There is a reason that Prime Lending has so many great reviews and I am happy to add!

I had checked two other mortage companies including the current mortgage holder and found to have the best refi rate. Took approximately one month to close.

I worked with Jori Stern on the refinance loan and found her to be professional and courteous. She quickly responded to e-mails and/or phone calls. The process took about a month. With the refinance option provided I saved approximately 25% off my monthly payment and the closing costs were minimal. I definitely recommed using.

I can’t tell you how responsive and professional Jori Stern was.

Houses were moving faster than our realtor s car down Mopac. We did find a nice house in central Austin and got our offer in its first day on the market. Max one of the reasons they accepted our offer over several others was the reputation of Prime Lending in Max s office. Ultimately, everything went great from escrow to close.

Read my first review from 6/14/2012 for the details but to put it simply all the AMAZING things you’ve read in all the reviews are all true. They get back to you immediately, nothing is a problem ever, they answer your calls on weekends, and everything runs SO smoothly.

If you’re a first time home buyer they hold your hand, explain everything to you and take the fear out of getting a mortgage.

They impressed my realtor so much that she now refers all her clients to them.

If my whole life ran as smoothly as their organization does I could leap tall buildings in a single bound.

It was great. See my June 14, 2012 Review.

As first time home buyers, the whole process was very intimidating but the team at Max Leaman was great! Jori handled our paperwork and was knowledgeable, very helpful, and never made us feel silly with our questions. We talked to a few people on the team and they were all great!

I would definitely recommend you give Max and his team a call if you are looking to buy a house.

Max Leaman is a mortgage lender and we used his services to finance our recently purchased home.

08/13/2012 by L.C.
Location: Round Rock, TX

Max gave us good information, helped with entire process, answered more questions than he probably ever thought he would and was always gracious, helpful, smiling, and ready to be there. He would email, text, or call…….whatever it took.

Recently we sold our former home and bought another. With all the bad publicity regarding mortgage lenders and who is trustworthy and who is not, I was concerned about finding a lender we could trust. Luckily I was given a very good reference for Max Leaman. The BBB showed positive ratings. I found this to certainly be the case with Max. From the moment I called Max he has been there. He has answered every question, he has provided information I would never have thought to ask about, or know about. And, sometimes Max answered questions and addressed concerns he had already answered and addressed before. Max did everything he could to make the buying process easy and tried his best to ensure I had nothing to worry about regarding the financing before, during, or after the purchase of our home. Max is a good man with integrity. I found him to be honest and he cares about his customers. When Max was on vacation he made sure there was someone that would be available, immediately, while he was gone. I had a couple of questions and the staff were accessible from the moment I called.

If ever I am in need of a lender again, I will call Max because I can trust him.He made the “borrowing/financing” process painless, easy, and if not enjoyable, at least gratifying. I can’t say enough good things about him. Thank you, Max!!

We recently decided to purchase a house and Max and his team were very helpful and great to work with.

…since buying my first house in Austin some 25 years ago. He is very knowledgeable about the mortgage industry and I felt he was really working for our best interests. He had the very best rate of the four lenders I talked to and made our qualifying and closing process as easy as I’ve ever encountered when buying a home. I highly recommend Max and Prime Lending.

I am a skeptic. I gave Max a chance due to his huge list of 5-star Yelp reviews but went in thinking

07/09/2012 by Andrew C.
Location: Austin, TX

… There’s a catch here somewhere. As it turns out, he’s just that good and he earns his 5-star reviews. He got me a great rate and lower closing costs than all the other people I went to (and I went to a LOT). That’s basic math right there… his numbers were the lowest and that’s what matters. An added bonus is that he is very friendly and was great to work with. I’m still a skeptic but I feel comfortable recommending him to my friends.

We went to Max to get pre-approved solely based on the reviews here.

We ended up going with him for our mortgage because 1) he offered the best rates and 2) he and his team offered unparalleled customer service.

I really can’t say more other than he could not have impressed us more. This is as pleasurable as getting a mortgage gets, people.

Their fees were fair and the final cost at closing was very close (actually a little lower) than the Good Faith Estimate.
 
I have purchased seven homes over the past 30 years and this was one of the smoothest thanks to Max’s Team.They were always quick to respond to questions. Don’t worry about not meeting with a Loan Officer face to face.They are very good at closing loans over the phone and via email.

I found Max through this site when I googled “Best Austin Mortgage Lenders.”

Location: Houston, TX

The first thing I thought was “These reviews are too good to be true!” The second thing I thought was “Holy smokes – I went to middle school with this guy!” While I know I might be one of the few individuals who worked with Max and knew him years ago, but what I also know is that he gives the same personal, professional attention to all of his customers. We were looking for houses in Houston, and we did most of our work on the weekends. This was never an issue for Max, as he was available at a moments notice to send pre-qual letters, etc.

When you’re buying a house there are so many variables that are difficult, if not impossible to control. If you choose Max as your lender, I guarantee that part of your home buying equation will be good to go. Plus – the best part is you don’t have to sacrifice on rates to get 5 star service. Max is very competitive AND a master of customer service.

Thanks Max! We’ll be back in a few years when it’s time to move!

Max Leaman and his team literally “walk on water”.

I told my husband and, actually, everybody I know that, If the rest of my life could only run as smoothly as the mortgage process did with Max and his crew I absolutely KNOW that I could “leap tall buildings in a single bound!”

We closed on May 18, 2012.

They made it SO easy that we decided to do it again (I know I couldn’t believe it either!!) but we did and it’s even easier this time! . . . I LOVE these people!
It’s income property this time and we are closing with them again on July 31, 2012.

I’d never go anywhere else for a mortgage.

My other bank mortgage guy was a pain in the butt . . . but with Max and his crew everything is always ‘no big deal’.

You owe it to yourself to call these people . . . they “walk on water” and I guarantee, ‘you’ll love them, too!’
