He’s extremely knowledgeable about mortgage brokerage services and he is extraordinarily responsive and stays on top of the transaction.

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

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

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

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

Great experience working with the LoanPeople team.

Max secured a mortgage for me in record time.

They picked up the pieces that another mortgage company left me with, put them all together, and did it all in time for closing.

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

Discouraged and certain I’d lose the deal on the house I’d searched months for, I gave Max a call. They met with me the very next day. I brought all my papers, which were already in order from my first attempt.

It was necessary to delay closing about two weeks, but only because I’d wasted so much time waiting for the first company to pull things together. Two weeks later we had a perfectly smooth closing.

I suppose my review may be a little biased, if only because of the stark contrast between the company I first chose and the company that made it all happen. But that’s beside the point. At a time when banks are holding their purse strings tighter than ever, when people left and right are getting turned down for mortgages, people who have more clear cut cases than my own, Max pulled through for me. They are consummate professionals. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

This Team Is Beyond Amazing!!!

Our realtor recommended the Leaman Team to us based on his experience with them, noting their attention to detail, professionalism, high standard of customer service and overall knowledge of the mortgage lending process. We started off by contacting Mr. Max Leaman. His response to our inquiry was lightning quick, even emailing us late into the night answering all the questions. This on its own was highly impressive to me. Once we started the initial loan process, Ms. Amanda Stewart was assigned to our portfolio to guide us through the detailed process of a buying a home, the steps we needed to take to receive a higher loan amount, etc. Ms. Stewart was/is absolutely amazing in her attention to detail, her above and beyond customer service, overall demeanor and her patience with our dozens of questions, which subsequently helped us remain calm as we navigated the loan process. The Leaman Team sets the standard that all mortgage lending companies should adhere to and follow. It’s not hard to see why they are rated #1the last five (5) years as Austin’s Top Lender. We will use the Leaman Team for all our future home buying needs. After all, I honestly don’t think anyone could ever top them, period!

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

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

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. My experience was incredible from start to finish.

I had a complex situation (jumbo loan with a quick closing date, plus I already have a couple of other mortgages on investment properties). Max Leaman assured me that he could make it happen, and he did! Communication was timely and concise, and Max followed through with everything he promised to do. I could not possibly be happier with my experience and I would recommend him to anyone.

Very responsive and made the process easy.

I love Max Leaman and his team. As an agent, they’re the premiere lender for one of our condo projects and it is always an amazing experience.

So of course, they were their first people I went to for my personal mortgage. Jane and Max were incredibly helpful, informative and always on time with information and documents. In this business, that makes or breaks you. I always recommend the Leaman Team!
